Very jazzy little tune... Terry Kath wrote it, actually could've been a hit single were it not for the plethora of hits on II ( Make/Smile, 25 or 6 to 4, etc). Possibly the most commercial sounding thing Kath ever wrote ( and he write some nice songs, as we know) 

Jim Sheridan

Interesting how the horn lines are reversed from the studio version-Walt plays clarinet on the record, and plays the answering part. Here he plays sax, and Jimmy plays the answering part on his trombone. That would be awesome if they brought this song back to their live set.

I've heard from other sources that the jaw-breaking incident occurred on May 20 of that same year. Peter's voice does sound different here though-like his tongue might be swollen or something

Chicago had been invited to play Woodstock, but had to turn it down due to this previous engagement :)

Jeff Romm

While the band was playing this gig, a small gathering was happening in upstate NY. called Woodstock.

This is such a belter of a song and their most underrated IMHO. It has the best horn arrangement of any Chicago song, Cetera's best vocal and Seraphine's best drumming. And undoubtedly Kath's best composition.

I love the original version of this song on Chicago II. It was cool to hear it live. Like Danny Seraphine or not, I haven't heard those clean snappy drum fills in a Chicago song in quite some time.

Thanks for posting this olden goldie!!!!!! I first heard this song on Chicago II, or was it III? Anyway, I loved it, they lyrics are very OPEN LOVE or FREE LOVE, anyway that's what I took out of it, but it's a really nice tune!!! Thanks for posting, sorry Peter had a jaw wired!!!

And HOW am I way off??? The description here is 100% accurate so don't know what your deal is...

timothy white

The Road? CTA? Live? Man you're way off. That Marine that kicked Peters ass at Dodger game did him a favor. What a singer. Oh yeah. Chicago II, side one

@bze2nlz1: Thanks for clarifying! I'll check out Danny's book. Curious to see if he mentions the London concert that Pankow said prompted the drummer's dismissal.

@BerlinTravelApp The previous comments referred to Danny's book, 'Street Player, My Chicago Story.' He talks about other personal issues than just poor playing. And we have to remember that it's from his perspective and some events may have been glossed over... It's an interesting book otherwise :)

Jeremy Gray

@bze2nlz1: What's your source for the Goudie incident? I'd like to read about it. Up to now I'd only heard that Seraphine was voted out of Chicago for poor playing. Vids from the mid- to late 1980s show a Seraphine whose drumming was obviously rusty, for what it's worth.

@bze2nlz1 Soap operas for everyone. Macho idiots punching each other out & dying with cocaine problems. The Seraphine book was boring. Robert Lamm admitted himself that he sold-out in the lyrics to the song "I'd Rather Be Rich." I'm more interested in the music from the first 7 or 8 years or or so before they sold out. They were straight out progressive in the old days. There are licks straight out of Zappa on "Ballet for a Girl in Buchanon."

@metamorphosis67 There's a lot of stories and hearsay out there, but I believe it was a combination of these...and a lot more displays of temper (than he admits to openly). Past 'associations', his wanting too much business control and poor performing probably factored in. The fight with the Jimmy and altercation with Jack Goudie was the turning point. What made Goudie's death worse was that he was Walt's brother-in-law. Too many hard feelings, DS simply blew it.

metamorphosis67

@bze2nlz1 Actually it was for beating the living shit out of a roadie that had been with the band for 18 years after the guy pushed his mother & niece out of way of some crew. Goudie, the road manager then confronted him & decked him back. DS insisted both the roadie he beat up & Goudie be fired. Band fired them. Goudie died a year later from a heart attack. They felt that DS had contributed to the guy's death so they made up an excuse of 'non-playing' to vote DS & his violent temper out.

@whyyeseyec your the idiot because people in the group said he was making crazy business deals with crimminals he used to know from chicago he said in rolling stone nobody can tell me who to hang around with in a fillmore east program they said they witnessed a waitress being baseball bated around a parking lot

poindexter van halen

@spacepatrolman : You sir are an idiot. The rest of the band said Danny was kicked out because he appeared to have lost interest in playing well and wasn`t paying attention and therefore his drumming was suffering......as for selling tapes to the Mafia, well, that`s in your head

@dc4580 another marketing scheme that failed was when they released 6 roy orbison 45s in one box called teen scene the djs didnt know which one was supposed to be the hit
