Nice work all the way around..
 
Vox harmonies are nice too.

Mark,
 
Never heard this song, I liked your rendition on all levels.   Checked out the original Chicago recording as a reference and yours is pretty close indeed.   Very excellent work.
 

Regards  

Thanks Markno999!
It's early Chicago, when they would have a little jam with the horns and then turn Terry Kath loose. The vocals are really high and I don't ever recall them doing this live since 1972.
 

Mark, I always love your work! Great job on this. Too bad about your session horns trouble, those would have been nice to hear in this.
 
During the jam section, I found that there were some dead spots between phrases that I don't recall in the original. Maybe not dead spots, but rather, the "room" is missing. If anything, Chicago's mixes were always pretty full. I'm not sure if a different reverb would make it better, but I'd suggest looking into that. Lastly, there were a few (very few) places where the bass sounded too tight and mechanical, I'd loosen the timing a touch in those spots.
 
Oh, and more cowbell (and a tambourine!) :)
 
Regards,

Not familiar with this tune, this comes across well here and has some quite convincing elements.  Vocal, guitar and bass sound well.  Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Dan! It is pretty empty in between...I use very little reverb in general. I only used the preset effects of that collection.
Now that I have the horn section arranged properly I might go back and load/freeze the session horns one at a time.
They take so long to load....
You are correct the bass was done very tight. 
 

I'm not familiar with the original version, but after hearing your cover I don't feel like I need to.   Everything about it is really well done across the board.  And while it all has a bit of that Chicago magic the vocals in particular stood out for me - great performance.

You should YouTube the original...it's a half step higher than my version and nothing beats real horns. Peter Cetera's voice is amazing!
