Recorded a few years before founding member and guitarist Terry Kath died from an accidental self-inflicted gunshot wound, this original
King Biscuit Flower Hour concert marks a time when
Chicago was deep in the middle of a nearly ten-year run as one of the most successful pop groups in the world.
Having spearheaded (along with Blood, Sweat and Tears) the “horn sound” of the early 1970s, Chicago found a successful way to balance the big band and jazz elements of a pronounced horn section with the more traditional rock ‘n’ roll foundation of a four piece guitar-bass-drums-keyboard rhythm section. Since they emerged in 1969, with the now legendary Chicago Transit Authority double album, they maintained a near-locked position in the Billboard Top 40.
This recording was made when the initial lineup of Peter Cetera, Terry Kath, Robert Lamm, Lee Loughnane, James Pankow, Walter Parazaider and Daniel Seraphine was still very much intact. Percussionist Laudir De Oliveira, who would become a full-fledged member of the band, is also present, and he contributes considerably to their evolving sound with his Latin-based percussion. With a string of hit singles under their belt from their most recent release Chicago V11, the band was becoming known throughout the world for delivering radio-friendly power-ballads.
This early show, combined with the second set also featured on this website, will give you the full scope of what the band included in their concerts from this era. There is a healthy mix of older Chicago classics including “Make Me Smile,” “Beginnings” and “Colour My World” from the first three Chicago double LPs; and newer hits, such as “Call On Me,” that were causing the musical dynamics within the band to shift.
