Did anyone ever catch a band called Bitter Suite live over here in the UK. They could play this and all the Blood Sweat and Tears classics just like the originals. They were amazing. Wonder what happened to the members of the band….
Hey Jayrox, I was just busting you! Terry was my absolute favorite member of the band so I always tend to put him in front of the others in my comments. They were all great in my opinion, but he had the extra something special. Anyway, you’re right, the direction they took after his death, was in my opinion, as well, different from what I would have hoped. I appreciate the civil tenor of your comments and applaud the Spencer Davis Group’s version of this great song! Cheers! Vive La Difference!
@carina2244 I prefer the Spencer Davis original but thats my opinion. Cetera was with Chicago then, i think 25 or 6 to 4 is better than their version of this. Just a shame they became a soft fluffy AOR, MOR group later in the 70s.
You do mean, “Mr. Kath and the boys tho” don’t you JAYROX?? Welcome to the CHICAGO version!! Thanks for taking a look. That’s why I visited the Spencer Davis Group version, to broaden my horizons….TOTAL RESPECT to the Spencer Davis Group, I love Steve Winwood. But…… : )
Agreed! Also, we should take into account who made this song famous around the world. I enjoy SDG’s version, but I have to admit that I know SDG thanks to CTA, the best band ever. Long live Chicago.

Good, but somewhat lacking in cowbell; I believe a little more might be required.

rock and roll at its best.

March 11th, 2010 at 10:48 pm

It was tragic what happened to Terry and it was a shame Chicago didn’t keep on rocking like this.

And only the second to have a photo of the group on the front cover (VI was the first).

Terry Kath is a beast
March 12th, 2010 at 3:01 am
@TomtenT I Totally agree .
March 12th, 2010 at 3:51 am
I beg to differ, this version doesn’t have the legendary Steve Winwood on it, one of the greatest of all time!!!!!!

Of course you can.
And this legendary version proved it, as it got vastly more popular than the SDG.
This one’s got “a bit” MORE ENERGY ! ! !
March 12th, 2010 at 6:12 am
You cant beat the original by the Spencer Davis Group!! All due respect to Mr Cetera and the boys tho.
March 12th, 2010 at 7:10 am
Chicago’s 1978 set “Hot Streets” was the first album since the group’s debut to bear an actual name, rather than number, for its title.
March 12th, 2010 at 7:30 am
@squonkdh it was an accident.
March 12th, 2010 at 8:23 am
MORE COWBELL, GOD DAMMIT!!
March 12th, 2010 at 8:37 am
