    It sure worked perfectly! Especially when they traded off during songs and the contrast made the songs much more texturally interesting, like In The Country.

    I appreciate Lee's vocal on "Something in This City Changes People"

    gregorya I approve of this message

    Me too... at the time I thought it was Robert Lamm with an effect on his voice. I don't think the album had credits on a song by song basis on VI...

    Other songs that demonstrate the distinctive voices of their lead singers:

    I'm a Man
    Dialogue Part I and Part II
    Brand New Love Affair Part 1 and 2

    When I first heard the Chicago VII track "Evergreen," I though it was Terry Kath singing the song.

    One of my favorite Chicago album covers - the cardinal bird on Chicago VIII (1975) featuring "Old Days" and "Harry Truman." The album topped the album chart for two weeks.

    My copy has two stickers. A red sticker that says "Chicago 50th 1967-2017....Chicago is the pre-eminent masterpiece - Steven Wilson" ...... etc.
    A gray sticker saying "Barnes & Noble Exclusive Edition."

    LAUDIR de OLIVEIRA (c1973) with Sergio Mendes & Brasil '77 before joining CHICAGO in mid 70's. Note: The number "'77" in the band's name has nothing to do with the year 1977. It was used to differentiate it from Sergio Mendes' earlier group, the "Brasil '66" which was popularly known for the hit single "Mas que nada" and the cover version of Bacharach tune "The Look of Love."

    Chicago was a premier rock and roll band from 1969-1977.
    Chicago VI was released on June 25, 1973.

    A great collection from the first 3 albums, and great energy. I like the comments to the crowd from Terry, Robert and Jimmy. Especially when it sounds like Jimmy says, "It's really a gas to be here!"

    Some of the standout tracks for me, on this performance are, Introduction, Sing A Mean Tune Kid, Flight 602, Motorboat to Mars, Free, Happy 'Cause I'm Going Home, Free Form Piano Intro DARKWTII?, Where Do We Go From Here?, Fancy Colours, Mother, and A Song for Richard and His Friends.

    When did TK first put the Pignose stickers on his Telecaster? 1973 (VI tour)?

    I could be wrong, but I think Terry Kath was the only guitarist that Jimi Hendrix said was better than he was.

    I love all those 70's Chicago records, and I am hit or miss with their 80's output. I enjoy 16 and 18, but not 17 so much. Gave that one away.

    He gave similar praise to ZZ Top's Billy Gibbons as well as Rory Gallagher.
