DRUM COVER - Free (Live at The Kennedy Center 9/16/1971) by Chicago

DRUM COVER - Free (Live at The Kennedy Center 9/16/1971) by Chicago

If you're a Chicago fan and haven't checked out this newly released live recording from their performance at the Kennedy Center in 1971, I highly recommend you give it a listen! The entire show is full of energy and features a bunch of material from Chicago V which at the time had not yet been recorded or released. Some of the songs features different drum parts, arrangements, and lead vocal splits. I've always loved the band's live arrangement of Free, and this particular performance really blew me away. Danny's drive and power is on full display here, and the entire band is riding his wave. It was definitely hard to lock in with at points, but because of this high quality mix that was achieved with this unearthed recording under modern day technology, I didn't have too much trouble hearing what Danny was playing. This cover marks my first video in my new recording space, which is in the basement of my apartment in South Philadelphia. Though its not as spacious as the space that I previously had the opportunity to be in, I like the coziness, and the sound is pretty decent. I am still working out the kinks both sonically and visually, but it is getting there. Stay tuned and enjoy! Enjoy!
