  1. Nice job.

    That song has one of my favourite guitar solos and it was covered nicely here.

    That song is 51 years old? -sigh-.

    IIRC the original was recorded March 15, 1970.

  2. Ides of March was local and as I ran with some other musicians there was jealousy in their success and just short for them (“We’re better than them”). They and Cryan Shames had some success Vs. not able to make a true living off it for the guys I ran with. What could have been? Even then the after hours destroyed the ability to keep it together.

    Was great basic training in the Party Arts of the late sixties. Not sure how many of that crew are still sucking air… Scarey in that I can’t even remember the stage names of the groups now. If I hadn’t gone a different direction… One of those I did occasionally get news on was so estranged from his family because inability to straiten out that no one claimed his body when he croaked.

  3. Been watching these guys for a couple years now. Having seen Chicago live a couple times I can safely say these guys are better. Especially when you consider Leonid had to figure out the arrangements himself as apparently there is no existing sheet music already (according to their backstory) One of the few bands I would be willing to travel and pay to see.

  4. Dave Purple (Grape) of the Cryan’ Shames died about 15 years ago. He won a Grammy for engineering Theme from Shaft by Isaac Hayes.

    I met him back in the ‘80’s when he was a sales person for a console manufacture my company carried. We were back in Nashville for a dealer’s meeting. Dave seemed like a nice, quite guy and did not strike me as a wild kinda guy. He was a helluva bass player.

  5. This is the song I visualize being played on the car sound system when Andrew Cuomo takes Harvey Weinstein, Bill Clinton and Jeffrey Epstein out to cruise chicks.

    Just because those guys are super creepy doesn’t detract from the song, it’s just that’s what these pervs would put on a constant loop to celebrate their decadency.
