Chicago - 25 or 6 to 4

I saw Chicago at the Rochester (New York) War Memorial in the early '70s. In those days I listened a lot to Humble Pie, Grand Funk, Edgar Winter's White Trash and Chicago. I always thought that "25 or 6 to 4" was a true masterpiece.

All the best,
Mike

I earned a whopping $10 as an usher for the all-day concert at Soldier Field in 1970 that Chicago headlined. They were good, but more impressive to me were hearing Iggy and the Stooges, Parliament/Funkadelic, MC5, and others.

Wong Ka-kui 黃家駒 (1962-1993), leader, vocal, lead guitarist, song writer of 90's Hong Kong band 'Beyond' died accidentally while participating in a
Japanese game show in Tokyo while promoting their songs...he's only 31 years' old

He left more then a dozen or so some extra ordinary songs behind and his songs were frequently covered by Hong Kong, China, Taiwan and Singapore singers,

'不再犹豫' / 'No Hesitation'(1991), Song written by Wong Ka-kui, Lyrics by Liang Mei-wei 梁美薇...one of the best from 'Beyond', original MV...very good sound quality...
 
Today, home alone and extreme rarity: Mozart Requiem (Christopher Hogwood); Emma Kirkby: Honey from the Hive - Songs by John Dowland.

And in the car this morning Bach a L'Italie, Justin Taylor, Harpsichord. A clever compilation of Bach including the Chromatic Fantasy BWV 903 and a wonderful rendering of BWV 914, the Toccata in E minor, mixed with other Bach inspired by Italian music, not least the Italian Concerto, but also some Albinoni, Scarlatti, Marcello and Viivaldi
 
Local classical music radio station: Piano Concerto No. 2 by Dmitri Shostakovich, beautiful version conducted by his son Maxim Dmitriyevich, piano played by his grandson Dmitri Maximovich.
 


My favourite song from a beautiful melancholic album. Complex and crafted as a sophisticated requiem for lost opportunity. Quite exquisite.
