• 4:12
  SPEAKER_12: Could have been or a cassette, but uh this would have been this would have been like late 70s, early eighties.

• 4:21
  SPEAKER_12: Sure.
• 4:22
  SPEAKER_12: Could have been either.

  SPEAKER_12: But it was physical.

• 4:35
  SPEAKER_12: I don't know why.

• 4:51
  SPEAKER_12: Um I wanted to uh you know It's it's it's it's no OnlyFans site, but you know.

  SPEAKER_12: Yep.
• 17:58
  SPEAKER_08: Yeah, because he looked familiar.
• 18:00
  SPEAKER_08: But it was like But it was really it really boiled down to basically Colonel Parker exploited Elvis to make money.
• 18:10
  SPEAKER_12: Right?
• 18:10
  SPEAKER_08: Of course he did.
• 18:11
  SPEAKER_08: And Elvis just wanted to sing, and he was, you know, he was actually a pr you know, they portray him as like a really great music producer and a ranger really.
• 18:21
  SPEAKER_08: Yeah, because it shows him, you know, because he did the show, you know, because he was one of the first people to have a residency in in Vegas.
• 18:28
  SPEAKER_08: Yep.
• 18:28
  SPEAKER_08: And uh it shows him like getting the show started, you know, all right, I don't want the horns, you know, coming here, all right, you know, no, no, no, watch it, do this, you know.
• 18:37
  SPEAKER_08: And it was actually good.
• 18:38
  SPEAKER_08: It was actually really well done, and I was like, wow, I didn't realize this was all going, you know, Elvis was that in tune.
• 18:45
  SPEAKER_12: Well how because this is somebody's somebody else's interpretation of that's but that's how true is it?
• 18:51
  SPEAKER_08: Exactly, and that's what you can't really tell.
• 18:53
  SPEAKER_08: Right.
• 18:54
  SPEAKER_08: You know, because it like I said, the whole movie is geared towards it's told from Colonel Parker's uh point of view, basically.
• 19:03
  SPEAKER_08: I mean he's he's basically on his deathbed and you know, he's reminiscing about the whole Elvis thing.
• 19:09
  SPEAKER_11: Right.
• 19:09
  SPEAKER_08: You know, and you know, just it's through that.
• 19:12
  SPEAKER_08: So I mean you you know you can look at it like, you know, Elvis was the victim here, but I really, you know, he kind of let himself be, you know, he just wanted to sing and he kind of let the you know the colonel take over and do all the you know kind of but I mean he did screw him out of a lot of money.
• 19:28
  SPEAKER_08: I mean he took like fifty percent of his money.
• 19:30
  SPEAKER_12: Right.
• 19:30
  SPEAKER_08: You know, and he gambled it away, basically.
• 19:33
  SPEAKER_12: Wow.
• 19:33
  SPEAKER_08: You know, so it was just I guess at the end, you know, they do a little recap thing.
• 19:38
  SPEAKER_08: It was like basically at the end of his life, you know, Colonel pr Colonel Parker was basically just just a degenerate gambler.
• 19:45
  SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
• 19:45
  SPEAKER_08: He would just wander casinos in Vegas, you know, just you know, just destitute, basically, you know.
• 19:51
  SPEAKER_08: So it I mean it was a sad movie because I mean, you know, you know, because of you know, everybody knows how Elvis died.
• 19:57
  SPEAKER_08: Yep.
• 19:58
  SPEAKER_08: You know.
• 19:58
  SPEAKER_12: So but I mean is that represented in the movie?
• 20:01
  SPEAKER_08: No, actually they don't.
• 20:03
  SPEAKER_08: No they get to like, you know, Fat Elvis.
• 20:07
  SPEAKER_12: Yep.
• 20:08
  SPEAKER_08: But they don't really show what a great band name.
• 20:11
  SPEAKER_08: Fat Elvis?
• 20:14
  SPEAKER_08: Don't you think?
• 20:15
  SPEAKER_08: No, no, no Fat Elvis.
• 20:16
  SPEAKER_08: No.
• 20:16
  SPEAKER_08: Well, I mean, but it it it basically stopped right before he started, you know, you know, because everybody knows the Fat Elvis face.
• 20:23
  SPEAKER_08: Yep.
• 20:23
  SPEAKER_08: And it stopped right, but it showed like that one of the last performances he ever did.
• 20:28
  SPEAKER_08: Yep.
• 20:28
  SPEAKER_08: He was doing uh Unchained Melody and he was playing it on piano.
• 20:33
  SPEAKER_08: And there was a guy like holding the microphone, one of his, you know, one of his Memphis mafia or something, that was holding the microphone and he was saying I mean he was just you know it was just that voice.
• 20:42
  SPEAKER_11: Yep.
• 20:42
  SPEAKER_08: And so they interspersed it with the actual footage of Elvis doing it with this kid playing the Elvis, you know, you know, and he he I mean it was like whoa, right uncanny, you know, but it was real, you know, but I mean the music part and you know his mannerisms and the dancing and everything like that was really well done.
• 21:02
  SPEAKER_08: Wow.
• 21:03
  SPEAKER_08: You know, I mean it was it's it's worth a watch.
• 21:05
  SPEAKER_08: I mean if you want to watch it, but yeah, I probably will.
• 21:07
  SPEAKER_08: But it's something but it's it's it's just weird at the same time.
• 21:11
  SPEAKER_08: Yeah, you know, just the whole it's like it's a it's an over two and a half hour movie.
• 21:15
  SPEAKER_11: Yeah.
• 21:15
  SPEAKER_08: But it was I I enjoy it.
• 21:17
  SPEAKER_08: I did really enjoy it.
• 21:18
  SPEAKER_08: It just it was just weirded me out in some parts.
• 21:20
  SPEAKER_08: But it shows, you know, you know, when he was a kid and you know, you know, he lived in the the the black part of town, you know, he one of the only white families in the black part of town.
• 21:31
  SPEAKER_08: That's where he discovered his love of the blues, you know, because he saw all these like old up and coming blues singers.
• 21:37
  SPEAKER_08: Right.
• 21:37
  SPEAKER_08: And you know, Tupelo and Memphis and all stuff like that.
• 21:40
  SPEAKER_08: And that's how he got his you know developed his style.
• 21:44
  SPEAKER_08: And so I mean it's just really uh I thought it was it was an interesting, and like I said, the guy the kid that played Elvis was just like wow.
• 21:52
  SPEAKER_12: Crazy.
• 21:53
  SPEAKER_12: Yeah, now you got me uh now you got me wanting to see it.

• 24:26
  SPEAKER_12: So they led with these two songs.
• 24:28
  SPEAKER_12: Yeah, right.
• 24:46
  SPEAKER_12: You know.
• 24:47
  SPEAKER_02: Nothing mattered in the twice.
• 24:49
  SPEAKER_12: So far, I'm I'm sold.
• 24:51
  SPEAKER_12: Right.
• 24:52
  SPEAKER_02: Now get to the bad news.
• 24:53
  SPEAKER_02: It's journey, it's you know, I can still close my eyes to see the two eyes.
• 25:00
  SPEAKER_12: Let's hear the chorus here.

  SPEAKER_02: That every family has a happy end, baby, have a long one more night.
• 25:23
  SPEAKER_12: Right, there's the hook.
• 25:24
  SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
• 25:25
  SPEAKER_12: Just straight up and awesome.
• 25:29
  SPEAKER_03: Before the lights go out in Paradise.
• 25:34
  SPEAKER_12: So they led with those two songs, and I was like, oh, I cannot wait for this album.
• 25:37
  SPEAKER_12: This is gonna be amazing.
• 25:38
  SPEAKER_08: That was the same way, man.
• 25:39
  SPEAKER_12: Yeah, and so I got it last Friday, came out last Friday, uh, downloaded it, put it on a CD so I could listen to it in the car.
• 25:46
  SPEAKER_12: I mean, I suppose I could have listened to it, you know, via my phone in the car, but I liked it.
• 25:50
  SPEAKER_12: You know.
• 25:51
  SPEAKER_12: And um I listened to it on the way up to Madawaska.
• 25:55
  SPEAKER_12: That's one of the first times I listened to it.
• 25:57
  SPEAKER_12: Probably that's probably the second time I listened to the whole album was on the way up there.
• 26:01
  SPEAKER_12: Um and my my um summarization on the album is there are probably so those two songs sound like a band.
• 26:15
  SPEAKER_12: One band.
• 26:16
  SPEAKER_12: And there are probably maybe two or three more songs on the album that sound like that band.
• 26:23
  SPEAKER_12: Um Jason Chef If he sings lead like lead on another entire song, I'd be surprised.
• 26:33
  SPEAKER_12: Um they led with a Jason Chef song and they led with a Dr.
• 26:39
  SPEAKER_12: Cash and all the song.
• 26:40
  SPEAKER_12: And they were both melodic rock songs.
• 26:41
  SPEAKER_12: So that's why we were doing it.
• 26:43
  SPEAKER_12: Because the rest of it And by no means, and I think I said this to you, it's not bad.
• 26:48
  SPEAKER_12: It's not a bad album, it's a very, very good album.
• 26:51
  SPEAKER_12: But the rest of the album sounds to me like Rascal Flash throwaway songs.
• 26:58
  SPEAKER_12: Okay.
• 26:58
  SPEAKER_12: Um very uh country, modern country.
• 27:03
  SPEAKER_12: Um Great Hooks and Great Songs.
• 27:08
  SPEAKER_12: So I mean I don't want to demean the album, but I just think we were sold a bill of goods with those first two pieces.
• 27:16
  SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
• 27:16
  SPEAKER_12: Uh and I wanted to play, and there's a there's another song that I always felt weird about this.
• 27:21
  SPEAKER_12: Chicago used to do this too.
• 27:23
  SPEAKER_12: When you have when you have a love song but you have two guys singing it.
• 27:30
  SPEAKER_11: That's a little weird.
• 27:31
  SPEAKER_12: Isn't that a little weird?
• 27:32
  SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
• 27:32
  SPEAKER_12: Um this when you have three.
• 27:37
  SPEAKER_08: But of course, this isn't well no Chicago did that.
• 27:40
  SPEAKER_08: That's what I mean.
• 27:40
  SPEAKER_08: Hard habit to break and all that stuff.
• 27:44
  SPEAKER_12: But this is a great song.
• 27:52
  SPEAKER_05: And I still This is Jay DeMarcus from Rasco Flat.
• 27:58
  SPEAKER_05: You could easily pass by.
• 28:17
  SPEAKER_12: Here comes Dean Cash Novo.
• 28:43
  SPEAKER_12: They're angels, some of us them just don't have wings.
• 28:46
  SPEAKER_12: So it's good.
• 28:47
  SPEAKER_12: It's good.
• 28:47
  SPEAKER_12: This is another Jay DeMarcus song.
• 29:12
  SPEAKER_05: We just eat it.
• 29:15
  SPEAKER_12: Doesn't sound like something you'd hear on country radio.
• 29:19
  SPEAKER_12: You don't think so?
• 29:21
  SPEAKER_05: Let's just let go.
• 29:26
  SPEAKER_05: Not really.
• 29:27
  SPEAKER_05: Let's take the time to chase this feeling.
• 29:31
  SPEAKER_05: Nowhere to be no night.
• 29:34
  SPEAKER_08: Now it's uh now it sounds like a T-Swept song.
• 29:38
  SPEAKER_08: Right, yeah.
• 29:39
  SPEAKER_05: Real close and real slow baby.
• 29:42
  SPEAKER_12: They and I think I don't know this because I don't get liner notes.
• 29:47
  SPEAKER_12: I wish I got the CI the actual CD so I can read the liner notes, but I think the guitar player, who's a succession player from Nashville, has been there for years, I think he sings as well.
• 29:56
  SPEAKER_12: There's a couple songs on here that I can't match up the voice with any one of those three.
• 30:00
  SPEAKER_12: Okay.
• 30:01
  SPEAKER_12: So I think he sings.
• 30:02
  SPEAKER_12: Could be.
• 30:02
  SPEAKER_12: Uh let's see.
• 30:07
  SPEAKER_12: This is the this is one of them.
• 30:09
  SPEAKER_12: And this this is obviously not Roscoe Platt's throwaway.
• 30:14
  SPEAKER_12: But listen to this guy's voice.
• 30:16
  SPEAKER_12: This doesn't sound like any of the three.
• 30:19

• 32:12

  SPEAKER_10: It all began out on Jay Street.
• 34:17
  SPEAKER_10: A good place to be.
• 34:19
  SPEAKER_10: We set off battle battle.
• 34:21
  SPEAKER_12: Now this doesn't sound like any of them.
• 34:23
  SPEAKER_12: This is all this is probably another singer.

  SPEAKER_12: Just taking turns or they must be all just taking turns.
• 34:31
  SPEAKER_12: It's a great band.
• 34:33
  SPEAKER_08: Oh no, I mean musically they're good, man.
• 34:36
  SPEAKER_08: But the album's kind of all over the place.
• 34:38
  SPEAKER_08: It is all over the place, that's what I'm saying.
• 34:42
  SPEAKER_12: But I wish they would have.
• 34:55
  SPEAKER_12: It's great.
• 34:56
  SPEAKER_12: I d uh, you know, I don't want to uh poo-poo on it too much.
• 35:00
  SPEAKER_11: Yeah.
• 35:01
  SPEAKER_12: Um because it's great, it's tough.
• 35:04
  SPEAKER_12: Uh I just wish they wouldn't have led with those two songs because I got my hopes up that it the rest of the album sounded like those two songs.
• 35:10
  SPEAKER_12: But they do that all the time.
• 35:12
  SPEAKER_12: Of course, you know.
• 35:13
  SPEAKER_06: When it comes to This is the last song on the album.
• 35:16
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah, I've made them all.
• 35:19
  SPEAKER_06: You could stack up all my favorite.
• 35:22
  SPEAKER_12: And they're all they can all sing, they're all very talented.
• 35:24
  SPEAKER_12: Oh yeah, yeah.
• 35:25
  SPEAKER_12: No doubt about that.
• 35:27
  SPEAKER_05: And looking back where you're closer to me, and they play our favorite song.
• 35:34
  SPEAKER_12: That's not what I would end the album with.
• 35:35
  SPEAKER_12: But you know, whatever.
• 35:37
  SPEAKER_12: Um so we didn't make it, so yeah.
• 35:39
  SPEAKER_12: Right, so I I just and I hate being the the two guys from the Muppets um on stuff like this, but we are very good at it.
• 35:48
  SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
• 35:48
  SPEAKER_12: Um I'm I'm gonna I would if I had to rate that album, I would give it a C plus.
• 35:58
  SPEAKER_12: Maybe a B.
• 36:00
  SPEAKER_12: Because I think the songs are good.
• 36:02
  SPEAKER_12: I think the songs are good.
• 36:04
  SPEAKER_12: Uh I think the the performances are good.
• 36:07
  SPEAKER_12: Um but it's it's kind of all over the place.
• 36:12
  SPEAKER_12: Kind of scary.
• 36:12
  SPEAKER_12: So that's why I I thought they were like, it was like we well, we did these two songs, and this is Frontiers too, so you know Frontiers put these put these guys together, I'm sure.
• 36:20
  SPEAKER_12: You know, we've got we we did a few songs.
• 36:23
  SPEAKER_12: Oh we need some more songs.
• 36:24
  SPEAKER_12: Oh, well Rascal Fly has to turn down these six songs.
• 36:27
  SPEAKER_12: Why don't we do them?
• 36:30
  SPEAKER_12: You know what we can possibly go wrong, right?
• 36:34
  SPEAKER_12: Uh and on the along those same lines, I finally did um get the new journey out.
• 36:41
  SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
• 36:42
  SPEAKER_12: Uh and because I thought that it would grow on me.
• 36:46
  SPEAKER_12: And um let me clarify that.
• 37:02
  SPEAKER_12: That's what I was asking you earlier.
• 37:48
  SPEAKER_12: And some of them are blatant, you know.
• 37:51
  SPEAKER_12: Well, we need this to sound like a journey.
• 37:53
  SPEAKER_12: I'll give you a prime example.
• 38:08
  SPEAKER_12: What does that sound like?
• 38:09
  SPEAKER_12: Separate wave exactly.
• 38:17
  SPEAKER_12: And you're we were hoping that the background vocals, you know, we because we heard samples.
• 38:24
  SPEAKER_12: Yeah, you know, and we're like, these background vocals are awful.
• 38:27
  SPEAKER_12: No, we were right, they're not good.
• 38:30
  SPEAKER_12: And I don't know what the key is there.
• 38:32
  SPEAKER_12: I know they had a different producer, Naruto Michael Walden was producing.
• 38:53
  SPEAKER_12: And the lyrics, I mean the journey lyrics have always been kind of meh.
• 38:57
  SPEAKER_12: Yeah, right.
• 38:58
  SPEAKER_03: But they're we listen to this song in headphones, you can hear those background vocals.
• 39:11
  SPEAKER_12: And it's not that they're bad background vocals, it's just that they're not mixed right.
• 39:15
  SPEAKER_08: Yeah, they're just something weird about 'em.
• 39:21
  SPEAKER_12: Yeah, it and it's just not what we're used to from journey.
• 39:24
  SPEAKER_08: Yeah, big, you know, big choruses.
• 39:26
  SPEAKER_08: Right.
• 39:29
  SPEAKER_12: And then, you know.
• 39:33
  SPEAKER_12: Like the first song on the album, this one right here, Together We Run, which is it's it's this could be a pretty good journey song.
• 39:41
  SPEAKER_12: Um, but once again, Arnell's voice is buried in reverb.
• 39:49
  SPEAKER_07: The sun is on its way, acting like it's some new day.
• 39:56
  SPEAKER_07: Your curtains hang the same, but the sheets pull down.
• 40:02
  SPEAKER_07: Not sure what he said there.
• 40:05
  SPEAKER_12: Your curtains hang the same, but the sheets pull down.
• 40:10
  SPEAKER_07: Is that laundry day or what?
• 40:12
  SPEAKER_12: But the chorus on this one, this is called Together We Run.
• 40:18
  SPEAKER_04: Subfishers that I'll give some moonstruck poetry.
• 40:25
  SPEAKER_12: Moonstruck poetry.
• 40:29
  SPEAKER_07: Come with me.
• 40:32
  SPEAKER_07: Come with me.
• 40:34
  SPEAKER_08: Together we love Yeah, it's like the like the background vocals are like like they recorded like a hundred people and just mixed it all like into right, like they compressed it all and just like brrrr.
• 40:49
  SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
• 40:56
  SPEAKER_12: It's just it's just and that's the biggest complaint I have is the production.
• 41:00
  SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
• 41:05
  SPEAKER_12: This one.
• 41:07
  SPEAKER_12: We've played this.
• 41:11
  SPEAKER_12: This could be great.
• 41:12
  SPEAKER_12: This could be a great journey song.
• 41:28
  SPEAKER_04: Could it seem to find someone who let me be me?
• 41:40
  SPEAKER_08: I don't like that guitar for some reason.
• 41:42
  SPEAKER_08: I don't either.
• 41:48
  SPEAKER_04: Wasn't looking for some.
• 41:50
  SPEAKER_12: They all have the same structure songs, and they're all very wordy.
• 42:08
  SPEAKER_04: Never walk away.
• 42:15
  SPEAKER_12: It's just all just jumbled mess.
• 42:18
  SPEAKER_08: Yeah, it's not very good.
• 42:19
  SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
• 42:20
  SPEAKER_12: Um, but that's the thing.
• 42:22
  SPEAKER_12: I mean, they've got the melodies, I think.
• 42:24
  SPEAKER_08: Yeah, they have potential.
• 42:26
  SPEAKER_12: They just it could be a good journey album.
• 42:28
  SPEAKER_12: Yeah.

  SPEAKER_12: Um bad.
• 42:30
  SPEAKER_12: But yeah.

  SPEAKER_08: They'll they'll they'll make it happen.
• 59:29
  SPEAKER_12: Yeah.

  SPEAKER_12: So speaking of uh doing the right song and being excited about it, we're gonna take a break and we're gonna do the wall of tunes next.
• 59:35
  SPEAKER_08: Well, we haven't done the alphabet yet.
• 59:37
  SPEAKER_08: Oh yes.
• 59:38
  SPEAKER_08: Why why am I the suddenly the director of this podcast?
• 59:42
  SPEAKER_08: That's not good.
• 59:43
  SPEAKER_08: You're right.
• 59:44
  SPEAKER_08: I shouldn't I should not I should have no creative control of this.
• 59:47
  SPEAKER_08: No, well, that's not true.
• 59:48
  SPEAKER_08: Because I I'm an idiot.
• 59:50
  SPEAKER_08: Well, that's true.
• 59:52
  SPEAKER_08: I'm stupid.
• 59:52
  SPEAKER_08: I'm stupid and contagious.
• 59:54
  SPEAKER_08: So, you know.
• 59:55
  SPEAKER_08: I don't know, man.
• 59:57
  SPEAKER_08: Um, all right.
• 59:58
  SPEAKER_08: If I'm the voice of reason, we've we're on, you know, we're on a bad path.
• 1:00:04
  SPEAKER_12: You know?
• 1:00:06
  SPEAKER_12: Uh we're talking about the guitar uh and drum legends alphabet, two books by Beck Feiner.
• 1:00:13
  SPEAKER_12: Uh so we'll start with the uh the guitar legends alphabet, and the letter of the day today is R.
• 1:00:20
  SPEAKER_03: R.
• 1:00:20
  SPEAKER_03: R.
• 1:00:23
  SPEAKER_12: Uh R is for Robert Johnson.
• 1:00:27
  SPEAKER_12: Ah, wonderful.
• 1:00:28
  SPEAKER_12: The man who started it all.
• 1:00:30
  SPEAKER_12: He did.
• 1:00:31
  SPEAKER_12: Both blues and rock owe a great debt to this mysterious 1930s songwriter and his twangy acoustic playing style.
• 1:00:38
  SPEAKER_12: His 29 recorded songs became legendary standards and influenced the Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton, Led Zeppelin, and basically every guitarist since, whether or not they know it.
• 1:00:49
  SPEAKER_12: Because, you know, once you're influenced by Eric Clapton or Led Zeppelin, you're obviously influenced by Robert Johnson.
• 1:00:54
  SPEAKER_12: Exactly.
• 1:00:54
  SPEAKER_12: Yep.
• 1:00:55
  SPEAKER_12: So Robert Johnson is the guitar legend uh at number at letter R.
• 1:01:01
  SPEAKER_12: What do you got for drums?
• 1:01:03
  SPEAKER_08: Drums! R is for Buddy Rich.
• 1:01:05
  SPEAKER_08: Described by his own hero, Gene Krupa, as the greatest drummer to ever have ever drawn breath.
• 1:01:12
  SPEAKER_08: Buddy is a true legend.
• 1:01:14
  SPEAKER_08: From his rapid fire hi-hats to his polyrhythmic snare, he was super technical and had the power to match.
• 1:01:22
  SPEAKER_08: And he also there's that famous uh show where he had a heart attack during his return to gig and finished the gig then went to the hospital.
• 1:01:33
  SPEAKER_12: Really?
• 1:01:35
  SPEAKER_12: I I I had never heard that.
• 1:01:37
  SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
• 1:01:39

• 1:02:05
  SPEAKER_08: No, no, sorry.
• 1:02:06
  SPEAKER_08: No, two completely different things.
• 1:02:16
  SPEAKER_12: He spends a lot of time on the snare trying to get Finn to do that.
• 1:02:20
  SPEAKER_12: Finn feels like he needs to do a fill like across the toms every every single time.
• 1:02:25
  SPEAKER_08: I mean, Buddy Rich very rarely used the Toms.
• 1:02:28
  SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
• 1:02:29
  SPEAKER_08: I mean, he was all he would use everything but the toms.
• 1:02:32
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 1:02:32
  SPEAKER_08: He would use like the symbol the hardware.
• 1:02:37
  SPEAKER_08: He was playing off hardware, off his seat, off, you know, you know.
• 1:02:42
  SPEAKER_12: He just did he just did that actually.
• 1:02:43
  SPEAKER_12: He reached down on one of his symbol stands.
• 1:02:46
  SPEAKER_12: He hit that.
• 1:02:47
  SPEAKER_12: He was famous for doing that.
• 1:02:51
  SPEAKER_12: Anyway, yeah.
• 1:02:52
  SPEAKER_12: So Buddy Rich, uh, the drummer from the Drum Legends Alphabet, and Robert Johnson from Guitar Legends, both by Beck Finer.
• 1:03:00
  SPEAKER_12: Uh, let's close it up.
• 1:03:01

• 1:07:02
  SPEAKER_14: Okay.
• 1:07:02
  SPEAKER_12: Um difficult to say.
• 1:07:03
  SPEAKER_12: I would say probably height of popularity.
• 1:07:09
  SPEAKER_12: Uh well, are they still popular?
• 1:07:13
  SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
• 1:07:13
  SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
• 1:07:15
  SPEAKER_12: Um I'm gonna say I think 80s.
• 1:07:20
  SPEAKER_12: 80s?
• 1:07:21
  SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
• 1:07:25
  SPEAKER_11: Iconic sound?
• 1:07:26
  SPEAKER_12: Oh yes.
• 1:07:27
  SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
• 1:07:29
  SPEAKER_12: Almost like two different bands, because they were around in the 70s.
• 1:07:34
  SPEAKER_12: And then in the 80s, they obviously embraced the 80s sound.
• 1:07:38
  SPEAKER_11: Okay.
• 1:07:39
  SPEAKER_12: And uh recently I think kind of have gone back to their sound.
• 1:07:47
  SPEAKER_11: I don't know.
• 1:07:48
  SPEAKER_11: I need some more hint there, man.
• 1:07:50
  SPEAKER_11: Well, we talked about them recently.
• 1:07:52
  SPEAKER_11: Oh that's again.
• 1:07:55
  SPEAKER_12: Um let's see.
• 1:08:00
  SPEAKER_12: They started when they started, they were they had a band name, and then they changed the band name.
• 1:08:06
  SPEAKER_12: We're the band without a name.
• 1:08:07
  SPEAKER_12: They shortened their band name.
• 1:08:09
  SPEAKER_12: Okay.
• 1:08:10
  SPEAKER_12: Because I think there was actually a lawsuit involved with the uh public works.
• 1:08:15
  SPEAKER_12: Oh, it's Chicago.
• 1:08:17
  SPEAKER_12: Yes, it is Chicago.
• 1:08:19
  SPEAKER_08: We did talk about Chicago.
• 1:08:20
  SPEAKER_12: Yes, we did talk about Chicago.
• 1:08:22
  SPEAKER_12: You just got the new album.
• 1:08:23
  SPEAKER_12: I did, man.
• 1:08:23
  SPEAKER_12: And that's accurate, right?
• 1:08:24
  SPEAKER_12: They kind of went back to their old album.
• 1:08:25
  SPEAKER_08: They did go back to the like well they they it's a nice blend of uh you know older.
• 1:08:30
  SPEAKER_08: Like I said, old and new.
• 1:08:31
  SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
• 1:08:32
  SPEAKER_12: Have we done this?
• 1:08:33
  SPEAKER_12: Chicago 17.
• 1:08:34
  SPEAKER_12: No, we have not.
• 1:08:34
  SPEAKER_12: We have not done Chicago 17.
• 1:08:35
  SPEAKER_12: Okay.
• 1:08:36
  SPEAKER_08: That that is part of the David Foster era.
• 1:08:38
  SPEAKER_12: Yes, this is the polarizing album because uh arguably they're most successful.
• 1:08:43
  SPEAKER_08: I would say yes to that.
• 1:08:45
  SPEAKER_08: Um because you have Because I think that was the album that we when we first discovered Chicago.
• 1:08:52
  SPEAKER_12: I agree.
• 1:08:52
  SPEAKER_12: Yep, Chicago 17.
• 1:08:55
  SPEAKER_08: Because when that album came out, there was no place in the free world you could go to get away from it.
• 1:09:02
  SPEAKER_08: It's true.
• 1:09:03
  SPEAKER_12: Yeah, it was everywhere.
• 1:09:04
  SPEAKER_12: It's absolutely true.
• 1:09:05
  SPEAKER_12: And it had um and it had a lot of hits on it.
• 1:09:10
  SPEAKER_12: A lot of hits.
• 1:09:11
  SPEAKER_12: Um the um, and I have some of them here, but I I don't have this album in my um in my iTunes, but I have a few of the songs because I have the greatest hits.
• 1:09:22
  SPEAKER_12: Sure.
• 1:09:23
  SPEAKER_12: But remember uh this one.
• 1:09:27
  SPEAKER_12: This is this is the album opener.
• 1:09:30
  SPEAKER_18: I don't want you to misunderstand me.
• 1:09:34
  SPEAKER_12: This was famously what the what the current members of Chicago call the uh non-horn years.
• 1:09:43
  SPEAKER_12: Yeah, the hornless years.
• 1:09:44
  SPEAKER_12: The horns were there, but you couldn't tell.
• 1:09:48
  SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
• 1:10:00
  SPEAKER_12: Actually, I don't think there's any horns in this song.
• 1:10:02
  SPEAKER_12: Is there?
• 1:10:03
  SPEAKER_08: I don't know.
• 1:10:04
  SPEAKER_08: I can't remember it.
• 1:10:05
  SPEAKER_08: I don't think there is.
• 1:10:27
  SPEAKER_08: I mean, it can't go wrong with it.
• 1:10:29
  SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
• 1:10:30
  SPEAKER_12: And it was it was all uh David Foster, you know.
• 1:10:33
  SPEAKER_08: Oh, it was all David Foster.
• 1:10:40
  SPEAKER_08: Actually, I don't think there's some horns on this one.
• 1:10:42
  SPEAKER_08: Is there?
• 1:10:42
  SPEAKER_18: I think this is just how things were done then.
• 1:11:07
  SPEAKER_12: Yeah, that bass is the keyboard.
• 1:11:11
  SPEAKER_08: Well, at this time, Peter Chatterer didn't want to play bass anymore.
• 1:11:15
  SPEAKER_08: Right.
• 1:11:15
  SPEAKER_08: He just wanted to stand, right?
• 1:11:17
  SPEAKER_08: So it makes sense that and it's probably Robert Lamb playing the I don't know, or David Foster.
• 1:11:24
  SPEAKER_08: Oh yeah, that could be I know there's some horns in this right here.
• 1:11:32
  SPEAKER_08: Yeah, there they are, yeah, yeah.
• 1:11:34
  SPEAKER_08: But it's so not Chicago.
• 1:11:36
  SPEAKER_08: It's not it's not like Chicago horns, it's like it doesn't even have that big full Chicago sound, you know?
• 1:11:45
  SPEAKER_08: It's just like little stack three notes.
• 1:11:47
  SPEAKER_12: It's like da-da-da-da-da-da-da, you know.
• 1:11:49
  SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
• 1:11:50
  SPEAKER_12: I mean, they did have a few songs on this album that had a lot of horns in them.
• 1:11:55
  SPEAKER_08: Um I I think my favorite song on this album is Hard Habit to Break.
• 1:12:00
  SPEAKER_08: Oh, yeah.
• 1:12:00
  SPEAKER_08: You know, that's just I don't know what it is about that song, but it's it's just a great song because it's got it's got Satara, it's got Bill Chaplin.
• 1:12:09
  SPEAKER_08: And what?
• 1:12:09
  SPEAKER_08: Champlin.
• 1:12:11
  SPEAKER_08: What did I say?
• 1:12:11
  SPEAKER_08: Chaplin.
• 1:12:12
  SPEAKER_08: Oh, sorry.
• 1:12:13
  SPEAKER_08: She just forgot the M.
• 1:12:14
  SPEAKER_08: Yeah, I'm sorry.
• 1:12:15
  SPEAKER_08: And uh Bobby.
• 1:12:18
  SPEAKER_12: Bobby?
• 1:12:20
  SPEAKER_08: Keyboard player.
• 1:12:21
  SPEAKER_12: Robert Lamb?
• 1:12:21
  SPEAKER_12: Robert Lamb.
• 1:12:22
  SPEAKER_12: He doesn't sing, on it.
• 1:12:23
  SPEAKER_08: Yeah, he does.
• 1:12:25
  SPEAKER_12: Are you sure?
• 1:12:25
  SPEAKER_12: This is Peter Sotera right here.
• 1:12:27
  SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
• 1:12:27
  SPEAKER_12: And then Bill Champlin comes in.
• 1:12:28
  SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
• 1:12:30
  SPEAKER_12: I thought there was a third voice in this.
• 1:12:32
  SPEAKER_12: Sure.
• 1:12:33
  SPEAKER_12: I'm not sure, but I'm pretty sure.
• 1:12:38
  SPEAKER_12: So here's here's Bill Champlin.
• 1:12:43
  SPEAKER_12: You will look if you think about the harmony.
• 1:13:01
  SPEAKER_12: I thought there was like a three, I thought it was like the three of them doing just those two.
• 1:13:06
  SPEAKER_12: But again, this goes back to my thing.
• 1:13:07
  SPEAKER_12: You know, they're singing about a girl and it's two different guys.
• 1:13:10
  SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
• 1:13:11
  SPEAKER_12: Yeah, it's just weird.
• 1:13:13
  SPEAKER_08: Well, you've seen the video.
• 1:13:14
  SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
• 1:13:14
  SPEAKER_08: Yeah, it's just I mean, Peter Satara's basically wearing a bass, but he's not playing it.
• 1:13:20
  SPEAKER_08: Right.
• 1:13:20
  SPEAKER_08: So he's like, he's like Elvising it.
• 1:13:22
  SPEAKER_08: You know what I mean?
• 1:13:23
  SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
• 1:13:23
  SPEAKER_12: So then you have the huge song.
• 1:13:27
  SPEAKER_12: Ah, yeah.
• 1:13:28
  SPEAKER_12: You're the inspiration.
• 1:13:29
  SPEAKER_12: You are the inspiration.
• 1:13:30
  SPEAKER_12: Which was used at like wedding upon wedding at the time.
• 1:13:34
  SPEAKER_12: Along with the glory of love.
• 1:13:35
  SPEAKER_12: Remember his solo hit?
• 1:13:36
  SPEAKER_08: Ah, yeah.
• 1:13:37
  SPEAKER_08: You couldn't get away from that song either.
• 1:13:42
  SPEAKER_12: It's great stuff, though.
• 1:13:43
  SPEAKER_12: I mean, it's kind of love to.
• 1:13:46
  SPEAKER_12: But it really lost that Chicago, like.
• 1:13:48
  SPEAKER_12: It did.
• 1:13:50
  SPEAKER_12: But it was like two, it's it was like two different bands.
• 1:13:52
  SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
• 1:13:53
  SPEAKER_12: You know?
• 1:13:53
  SPEAKER_08: Um, because up to this point, I mean, it w you know, Chicago was like a was like, you know, a jazz fusion band, yes.
• 1:14:01
  SPEAKER_08: You know, and then they became like this pop.
• 1:14:13
  SPEAKER_12: See, I thought this one had horns in it.
• 1:14:15
  SPEAKER_12: Hold on.
• 1:14:20
  SPEAKER_12: I bet you it doesn't, does it?
• 1:14:21
  SPEAKER_08: I think it does.
• 1:14:22
  SPEAKER_08: Later though.
• 1:14:31
  SPEAKER_16: That's Robert Land.
• 1:14:32
  SPEAKER_08: That's Robert Lamb right there.
• 1:14:41
  SPEAKER_12: Maybe it's this one I'm thinking of that ha that has horns.
• 1:14:43
  SPEAKER_12: Let's just please please hold on.
• 1:14:54
  SPEAKER_12: Maybe not.
• 1:14:58
  SPEAKER_12: It really is the non-horn years.
• 1:15:00
  SPEAKER_12: It really is, man.
• 1:15:01
  SPEAKER_08: They really took a background.
• 1:15:14
  SPEAKER_08: Anyway, but even David Foster has admitted that he he destroyed Chicago.
• 1:15:20
  SPEAKER_08: Well, not destroyed them, but he made them too soft.
• 1:15:23
  SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
• 1:15:24
  SPEAKER_08: There's the horns right there.
• 1:15:28

• 1:15:40
  SPEAKER_08: Yep.
• 1:15:41
  SPEAKER_08: Kind of it's sad, man, because I mean, sh the thing about Chicago has always been the horns.
• 1:15:46
  SPEAKER_12: Oh yeah.
• 1:15:47
  SPEAKER_08: You know what I mean?
• 1:15:49

  SPEAKER_12: The hook.

  SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
• 1:18:42
  SPEAKER_08: Yeah, I love it.
• 1:18:43
  SPEAKER_08: I love I actually love that whole if you play the whole suite together, it fits.
• 1:18:49
  SPEAKER_08: Yep.
• 1:18:49
  SPEAKER_08: Because I think color uh color my world is part of that too.
• 1:18:53
  SPEAKER_08: Oh, is it really?
• 1:18:54
  SPEAKER_08: It's part of that suite uh in the in the song.
• 1:18:57
  SPEAKER_08: Because it begins with make me smile and ends with make you know the reprise of make me smile.
• 1:19:01
  SPEAKER_08: Right.
• 1:19:02
  SPEAKER_08: You know, and it's just the whole thing, it just fits and it's it's really beautiful.
• 1:19:06
  SPEAKER_12: Yep.
• 1:19:06
  SPEAKER_08: You know, but you know.
• 1:19:08
  SPEAKER_08: And then David Foster went in and just emasculated.
• 1:19:12
  SPEAKER_12: He really did.
• 1:19:12
  SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
• 1:19:13
  SPEAKER_08: And they I mean, and and I do I do like the David Foster years.
• 1:19:17
  SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
• 1:19:17
  SPEAKER_08: But it they lost they lost a lot of fire.
• 1:19:20
  SPEAKER_12: Oh yeah.
• 1:19:20
  SPEAKER_12: I agree.
• 1:19:21
  SPEAKER_12: You know what I mean?
• 1:19:22
  SPEAKER_12: Yeah, I agree.
• 1:19:23
  SPEAKER_12: And they had uh I think David Foster worked with him.
• 1:19:25
  SPEAKER_12: I think he started on Chicago 16.
• 1:19:27
  SPEAKER_12: 16, yeah.
• 1:19:27
  SPEAKER_12: And then the 17 was the big one.
• 1:19:30
  SPEAKER_12: He did 18 with the replacement of Peter Sotero with Jason Chef.
• 1:19:33
  SPEAKER_08: Jason Sheff, yeah.
• 1:19:34
  SPEAKER_12: Uh and I think he might have had a little bit to do with Chicago 19, but after that he stopped.
• 1:19:39
  SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
• 1:19:40
  SPEAKER_12: I'm pretty sure but they had the formula.
• 1:19:42
  SPEAKER_12: So they kept doing that.
• 1:19:44
  SPEAKER_08: I I you know, I think but in a way, I think he also saved them from themselves.
• 1:19:50
  SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
• 1:19:50
  SPEAKER_08: A little bit.
• 1:19:51
  SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
• 1:19:52
  SPEAKER_08: Um because I I I don't I think if uh if they'd kinda if they kept going.
• 1:19:57
  SPEAKER_08: Because when Terry died, they were kind of rudderless.
• 1:20:01
  SPEAKER_08: Yep.
• 1:20:02
  SPEAKER_08: And um you know, they went through a while, you know, after he died, they made it like an album or two, and they were just it just wasn't there.
• 1:20:12
  SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
• 1:20:13
  SPEAKER_08: You know, they're not my favorite Chicago albums.
• 1:20:16
  SPEAKER_08: But then David Foster came in and he kind of gave him direction, gave them you know you know, something to shoot for, and then he and he and they just exploded after that.
• 1:20:25
  SPEAKER_12: Yeah, because you know because uh this Chicago 17, which um we forget, came out in eighty-four.
• 1:20:34
  SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
• 1:20:34
  SPEAKER_12: And Kat Terry Cat died in seventy-eight.
• 1:20:37
  SPEAKER_12: Exactly.
• 1:20:37
  SPEAKER_08: So there was so there was there was that period there between Terry dying and you know, like well, I'll even say Chicago 16.
• 1:20:45
  SPEAKER_11: Yeah.
• 1:20:46
  SPEAKER_08: That is it was just it was just terrible.
• 1:20:48
  SPEAKER_08: Yep.
• 1:20:48
  SPEAKER_08: You know, I think they were I think I think they would have broke if if David Foster hadn't come along, they would have broke up.
• 1:20:54
  SPEAKER_12: That's probably true.
• 1:20:55
  SPEAKER_12: You know.
• 1:20:56
  SPEAKER_12: Yep.
• 1:20:56
  SPEAKER_12: Yep, that's probably true.
• 1:20:58
  SPEAKER_12: Um, alright.
• 1:20:59
  SPEAKER_12: So there you go.
• 1:21:00
  SPEAKER_12: Chicago 17.
• 1:21:01
  SPEAKER_15: Chicago!
• 1:21:02
  SPEAKER_12: Chicago 17 is the album, the Wall of Tunes album of the week.
• 1:21:06
  SPEAKER_12: And that's gonna wrap it up for season six, episode 14.
• 1:21:11
