The old guys can still do it

Ides of March first recorded "Vehicle" in 1970 and they can still crank it out. Perhaps even better. Jim Peterik still has an amazing voice. I was fortunate enough to see them many times in person at various clubs back in the old days.  I'm a bit partial to the brass sounds put out by them and fellow group Chicago.

What a GREAT performance!! Do you have any idea when this video was recorded? I remember the first time I heard that song, telling a friend about the new song that Blood, Sweat, and Tears had out... then I learned it was NOT them...

I also loved the brass of Chicago.

Thanks for posting this. I havent seen it...

Barbara: Yes, even more amazing in person.

Red: BST, Chicago, and Ides of March all brought the big band sounds to the 70's. Powerful, rich sound!
