I have a poster for a show where the Chicago Transit Authority opened for the Velvet Underground at the Whiskey-a-Go-Go. Interesting combination....

Have always loved Terry's playing and was a big Chicago fan back in the day...haven't kept up with them since Cetera left in the mid-80s, but that original lineup was really something!

First saw CTA at The Atlantic city Pop Festival (aug. 1st 2nd & 3rd 1969) which was 2 weeks before Woodstock. I've have spoken to very few people who have ever heard of this festival but it was a killer 3 days!!! Google it and I think you'll be surprised. The second time was 2 days after their 2nd album was released they played my high school in Wilmington Delaware! They were always fun to see back then. Other bands that played at my high school were : Vanilla Fudge... B.B. King... Paul Butterfield's Blues Band....Bonnie Raitt...Jackson Browne.... Linda Ronstadt. Jackson Browne and Linda Ronstadt played the same night. I was the student committee chair for these shows and would inter act with the agents and bands. Everybody in all the bands were very cool and always blown away that a high school was putting on the show. One exception was Jackson A-Hole Browne he had a temper tantrum when he realized he was playing a high school. He and David Lindley locked themselves in a classroom and wouldn't speak to anyone ( school newspaper ). His performance was still outstanding but what a D_BAG!

They were a great band back in the day. I first saw them at the Shrine in L.A., opening for Love and Procol Harum. They really were a powerful, unique band. I was blown away by their sound, particularly "I'm a Man". Bought that double album and kind of wore it out. I saw them the following year in San Diego, with Country Joe and the Fish and Poco. Yes, Terry Kath's death was absolutely senseless.

Never really listened to this band, but i checked 'em out on Spotify because of this thread. Listening to the record Live In Concert: Toronto Rock 'n' Roll Revival 1969 and it's great. The song "26 or 6 to 4" obviously inspired Led Zeppelin's "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You" -- a very obvious similarity and I'm guessing Jimmy Page nicked some parts of the Chicago song and not the opposite.
