, the band- made a completely awesome performance and appearance on the National Broadcasting Company's television channel "NBC". The band appeared in conjunction with a skating spectacular that aired on January 1st, 2010. Robert Lamm, Jimmy Pankow, Walt Parazaider and Lee Loughnane did some interviewing and all showed very much class. Sounding better than ever and with drummer Tris Imboden back in the line up, the guys blasted away, opening up with Beginnings while skaters skated. Who ever thought up of this idea is a genius. The music of Chicago is perfect for this type of presentation. My whole family enjoyed it very much. I sense millions of americans did as well. Some other tunes the band played were classics like, "25or6to4", "You're the Inspiration", "If You Leave Me Now", "I'm Alive Again", "Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?", "Colour My World", and "Feelin Stronger Every Day". It must be mentioned that trumpeter Lee Loughnane sang "Colour My World" and Terry is smiling in Heaven, for sure. Lee is so impressive in so many ways. Walter was awesome and perfect in his flute part in the song and everybody sounded great. God Bless you, Tris Imobden! You look and sound great!
In summary, the greatest band of all time, enters this new decade with typical and humble class, with a great performance that, if I were a young guy listening to them for the first time, I know I would say, "Hey, these guys are pretty good" and start paying attention to their music. I know I have! Happy New Year to all Chicago fans and most of all, "here's to you guys, Chicago! God Bless and keep going! We love ya!!!
Thank you very next....
