a GREAT musician!

I too miss TK and a lot of the fine, fine musicians who’ve left the band after his passing - but MOST of all, I miss the band not waiting for YEARS to go by to put out a new album. When they started out, it was at least one per year, and a few of them were DOUBLE RECORDS ! This is GREAT !!!! Let’s get it on radio, fans.

Indeed...He Was A Bloody Monster On Guitar...Especially On Free Form Guitar From The Chicago Transit Authority Record...

Got the opportunity to see Terry Kath 8 Times and I'm not exaggerating when I say he by far was the best guitarist I ever saw. I went to a lot of concerts in the 70's & 80's and Terry was the man.

One of the best guitarist of that era even jimmy Hendrix said he was The best love these new tracks looking forward to getting the new album Been listening to this awesome group since the 80a and took me 2 years to buy all there CDs

i hope you enjoyed it. i believe this could be there final album

@@dragonfan9696 I hope no.. So sad 😕😕

It supposed to be! But than I have all of their cd, and records, use to write a list of 45’s when my dad would go shopping and he would buy them 4 me!

Well no, it's not "that old Chicago sound".

I don't hear Robert Lamm - wish I did ...

@@banthony9154 You can hear him at the end. And I believe he and Neil sing a duet at the bridge

are you saying that’s Robert singing lead….I don’t think so?

@@apooyosucks I don't hear Robert on the bridge.

I finally heard him going oh-oh-oh someplace near the end. It would have been nice to hear more, but Neil sounds great too.

Hehe! Friday night, just came home from Five Point at Irvine. They were great.

No he wouldnt. You can barely even hear a guitar in this song. Sounds more like an Earth Wind and Fire reject

@@billiondollarbaby3276 i disagree; Kath was a master of supporting track guitar work; he wasn't necessarily obsessed with being the lead of anything especially doing vocals; he liked laying down tracks that enhanced a song rather than overpowering a song; and lets face it there isn't a guitarist in the lineup that can do Kath Magic; as talented as Howland was he couldn't touch Kath and Dawayne Bailey was too much into emulating a Metal Guitarist and overplayed his instrument. ( he was also was a constant victim of bad engineering and mixing of his solo riff's). But this song is very good .

I have no idea whether or not TK would have approved or disapproved of this track. I am not sure that is relevant. What i find relevant is the transition of this band from a rock rhythm concept supported by horns to a pop rock horn band supported by rhythm instruments. My preference is the former, but that is just my preference. Regardless, one cannot challenge the Tom Brady-like ubiquity of this group. Although I prefer the hard, blues production of the band's early pieces, who is to judge what transforms men over the period of five decades. Like it, dislike it - enjoy it if the former; move on if the latter. Just my thoughts - see my previous sentence. I was very sad at TK's passing. I will be sad when CTA's time is finished, though its music was, is and will be a part of my life.

Yes it does. Farm Out!

Really not! This song is far away from "Sledgehammer". I cannot hear anything from Peter Gabriel. This is a softfunky song like from Cetera's ghost. Nothing about the band from the late '60s - early '70s, it's Softrock.

Sledgehammer that attached Firecracker. Sounds like custom weapons from "Dead Rising" franchise haha.

If you listen to some of their albums in the last 20 years they still have this sound but people don't know they don't listen to all of their tracks you have to listen to everything they release and I guarantee you will hear songs that are similar to this but this is a great new track this new album's gonna be fabulous

@@3rdRockRider Maybe VIII, I'm thinking about VII in the vein of "Happy Man". Similar tempo and vibe. I wouldn't put those two adjacent on the album though. Maybe a few tracks apart.

Vicente, aquí está otro que estuvo ahí. Al día siguiente los periódicos publicaron fotos de la actuación de Los Maestros, que al pié decían "Por ver estas fachas los jóvenes tiraron las puertas del Auditorio Nacional y quemaron autobuses" jajaja. Por ahí debo tener alguno de esos periódicos todavía. (También tengo todos los acetatos). ¡Saludos! 🇲🇽

Así fué, y el grupo tuvo que sacar bafles al exterior para que los que no pudieron entrar escicharan el concierto. Saludos.

At Detroit and at the Toledo Zoo!

The adult contemporary charts, no more top 40 for these guys, that's for the kiddos.

glad I'm not the only one who thought that! :D

Let it be, Kath died a long time ago and if he were still alive he would've left a long time ago. Accept the new Chicago, time marches on, at least there's still 3 originals still in the band.

Probably reminds you of their Life Saver song from Chicago vii. That was a funky tune as well.

@@lamarravery4094 - you're absolutely right! 🙂 This song does remind me of Lifesaver.

This album doesn't need to be validated by a Grammy to be great, it already is.

I dont thing so

You're living in the past man.🤡
