If you like the band Chicago from the old days

[tedzan]

I have played this original Chicago Transit Authority album many times since I purchased it back in 1969. And, it has not worn out, yet.
It must be "Gold-Plated"


I love Jazz and I love Rock.....and, Chicago has always provided a good blend of both these music styles.

From the Beginnings my favorite song of theirs is....Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is ?
Every time I hear it, I have "flashbacks" to some very fond times in my youth.


Saw them live in 1973 in Westbury (NY), and in 1993 (Valley Forge Music Fair).

Ted - This may be a stretch, but do you like Marshall Tucker? Jazzy Southern Rock - unfortunately, most of them have passed away too.

Love that CTA logo!

Hi Raymond

I've heard of the Marshall Tucker band, but I'm not familiar with their music.
Tell me about this Jazz/Rock group ?

Here's my Marshall Tucker Band story. I was just out of high school and still living in Southern California. I had just started dating my now ex wife, this had to be 1973 maybe 1974. My friend Dave Hall gave me two tickets to see the Marshall Tucker Band at the LA Forum (I think). You will never guess who the opening band was. KISS!

In the years just before they 'hit it big', KISS had a regular July 4th gig in my little hometown of Columbus GA

"You can look it up!" (somewhere, I don't know where - but it is true!)

Amazing guitar solo! I always liked the solo on the album, but this one blew it away. They have the entire show posted, will have to find time to watch it. My first song I heard from them was Saturday In The Park. I bought that album and it has been one of my favorite albums ever since.

Don't get me wrong on this because I always liked Chicago , especially early stuff.
But me and a couple of my shipmates walked out on them in 1970 Long Beach arena. Why?.. Grand Funk had just fried our brains.
On that night after a heavy dose of on time and red album songs, we just wanted to go home and listen to more Grand Funk.
Our favorite FM station played Funk all night that night after the concert.

There is a tribute band to Chicago called "Brass Transit". If you ever get the chance go see them. You'll be back in the 70's all night.

Let's take a moment to sing......

As I was walking down the street one day
A man came up to me and asked me what the time was that was
on my watch, yeah
And I said
Does anybody really know what time it is
I don't
Does anybody really care
care
If so I can't imagine why
about time
We've all got time enough to cry
Oh no, no

And I was walking down the street one day
A pretty lady looked at me and said her diamond watch had
stopped cold dead
And I said
Does anybody really know what time it is
I don't
Does anybody really care
care
If so I can't imagine why
about time
We've all got time enough to cry
Oh no, no

And I was walking down the street one day
Being pushed and shoved by people trying to beat the clock,
oh, so I just don't know,
I just don't know
And I said, yes I said

People runnin' everywhere
Don't know the way to go
Don't know where I am
Can't see past the next step
Don't have to think past the last mile
Have no time to look around
Just run around, run around and think why

Does anybody really know what time it is
I don't
Does anybody really care
care
If so I can't imagine why
about time
We've all got time enough to die
Oh no, no
