Exclusive: Hear Chicago’s ‘Introduction’ from Their 1975 Tour

By Andy Greene

Andy Greene

Chicago have been playing state fairs and casinos for so long that it’s easy to forget that back in the Seventies they were one of the biggest bands in the country. The group’s popularity peaked around 1975, when they went on a massive co-headlining tour with the Beach Boys. Critics dubbed the package “Beachago” and Peter Cetera and Chicago ‘s horn section even joined the Beach Boys during their encores. Chicago is revisiting this period with the release of Live In ’75, which chronicles their set at Maryland’s Capital Centre in June of 1975. Sadly, no tracks from the Beach Boys are on the disc – but it does feature Chicago covering “I’m A Man” and “Got To Get You Into My Life.”

The disc hits stores on May 24th. Check out an exclusive stream of Chicago’s opening number “Introduction.”

Chicago and the Beach Boys, Combined

Whenever pop music gets too self‐important, or whenever people start taking it too seriously, something comes along to remind us that its primary job is entertainment. And there could be no denying that 20,000 young people got an enormous amount of pleasure Thursday night from the combined Beach Boys and Chicago concert at Madison Square Garden—the first of four sold‐out evening concerts there—whatever the occasion's ultimate significance may have been.

At the outset of the current recession, there was much talk of combination tours becoming the rule, but it hasn't really happened yet. This particular pairing came about because Chicago's manager, Jim Guerico, is close to the Beach Boys (the members of Chicago, despite their chosen name, live now in Southern California), and he even plays bass with them on this tour.

The music on Thursday was, finally, amusingly mindless, although the Beach Boys were more amusing and Chicago more mindless. Actually, the Beach Boys, for all their endless celebrations of surfing bliss, have a serious side that can legitimately be respected, in the almost symphonic textural experimentations of their

A Nostalgia Band

Today the Beach Boys, even if they did offer a few selections from recent years, seem content to be a nostalgia band.

Chicago, although it still sells lots of records, sounds less compelling today. The freshness of the brass arrangements has settled into a formula, and although the group plays tightly enough, there is a mechanical slickness that precludes real spontaneity.

The format of the evening was an hour‐long Beach Boys set, followed by an hour of Chicago, followed by 45 minutes together; the whole show lasted over four hours.

The joint set at the end offered all nine Beach Boys and all eight members of Chicago churning out harmonies and instumentals together.

The climax came with the third and fourth songs from the end, with Mike Love of the Beach Boys singing lead vocal on Chicago's “Saturday in the Park” and, his own group's “Fun, Fun, Fun.” it was really a pop celebration at that point, with the whole Garden literally shaking with the sheer energy of the jumping, clapping crowd.

Unfortunately, they didn't quit there. Pete Cetera of Chicago launched into Chicago's “Feelin’ Stronger Every Day,” a decent enough song but a decided letdown here. And then everybody trouped back for “Jumpin’ Jack Flash,” with Mr. Love again singing lead. The two bands have been ending their shows with the Rolling Stones song throughout the tour, and they did it enthusiastically. But the Stones—due into the Garden in eight days themselves—have been ending their tour shows with the same song, and they do it miles beter.

Randy Meisner: A Retrospective

Randy Meisner (1946-2023)

Chicago, August 1975

In early August 1975, the Eagles arrived in the Windy City for a concert and took a series of photos on Lake Michigan. Oh, and Randy made a drastic change to his appearance.

Summer Of Stars, Washington Park, August 9th, 1975

On August 9th, the band, along with Linda Ronstadt, played Washington Park racetrack in Chicago as part of the “Summer Of Stars” series of outdoor concerts. The racetrack was closed for summer racing and a stage was built in front of the grandstand, with the windows removed, so the performers could have more direct contact with the audience. 1

The Eagles drew 20,000 fans, the largest crowd of the series. You can read the lone review of the show here , which is not really a review since it doesn’t mention the songs that were played or any other details from the show, and the author clearly has a bone to pick with the band.

The End Of An Era

The above photo does reveal one detail. Randy’s mustache, which had been a fixture on his face for most of 1975 , was gone. The mustache made one of its last public appearances only ten days earlier at the Mississippi River Festival on July 29th:

One can only speculate what prompted him to shave it off. Did he make a mistake shaving? Was it too hot in the summer? Who knows? But, Randy’s second mustache of the 1970s, 2 which started out as a beard , was a thing of the past. He would forego facial hair for the next 20 years, except for a short-lived goatee in 1993. OK, now back to the blog post.

Rolling Stone Cover Story

Journalist, Cameron Crowe, followed the Eagles for much of their 1975 tour. Crowe was gathering information for a cover story for Rolling Stone magazine . He brought along his best friend and roommate, Neal Preston, as photographer for the assignment.

Neal and I spent a lot of time on the road with the band, shooting candid shots of the members and planning the cover shoot with them. There were a few memorable group portraits that could have been used, particularly one taken outside their dressing room at the Day on the Green concert — it’s the band at their mugging best. Later, Frey had the idea to get out on a boat, put some oxygen into the mix and take some shots out at sea. Just the band, relaxed, eyes on the horizon, with a lot of blue sky.  “Cameron Crowe Looks Back on His 1975 Eagles Cover Story,” Rolling Stone , August 17, 2015

The photo shoot aboard the boat on Lake Michigan took place while the band was in town for the Washington Park concert. In the Rolling Stone cover story, Crowe mistakenly refers to the venue as Chicago Stadium. 3 The same night of the concert, the band won Best Song (“Best Of My Love”) and Best Group on the Rock Awards , which was televised nationally. Joe Walsh, not yet an Eagle, accepted the awards for the band.

The Eagles return from a record crowd at the Chicago Stadium [sic] to find their Holiday Inn’s front desk covered with phone messages, telegrams and flowers. With  One of These Nights  in its fifth week at the top of Billboard ’s LP chart, the group has just won in Best Song (“Best of My Love”) and Best Group (over Led Zeppelin, Elton John and the Rolling Stones) categories of the nationally televised  Rock Awards . On the phone upstairs with Glenn Frey is Joe Walsh, who accepted the awards for them and, in the process, kissed presenter Raquel Welch. “Eagles: Chips Off The Old Buffalo,” Rolling Stone , September 25, 1975

Neal Preston Photo Shoot

This photo of Randy was originally published in a December 1975 issue of Circus magazine. It was flipped the wrong direction , with the flag on the right and his pearl buttons on the left. Sadly, this version is often seen floating around on the internet. Below is the corrected view.

The following photos were taken the same day (on land) by Preston. Note that Randy is wearing the same flip-flops that Henley is wearing in the photos on the boat. He is also wearing his Criteria Recording Studios shirt, which would become a favorite.

See more photos from the shoot here.

1 Chicago Tribune , June 1, 1975 2 Randy’s first mustache of the ’70s was visible in the cover photo on the Desperado album , which was taken by Henry Diltz in December 1972. This mustache lasted through the summer of 1973 and was gone by November when the band toured Europe. 3 Crowe refers to two separate Chicago concerts in the Rolling Stone piece. The first are the Arie Crown Theater shows, which took place on May 10th-11th. The second is Chicago Stadium, which is really the Washington Park show. The band didn’t play Chicago Stadium until 1976.

I have seen some of the photos, however did not know they were on my own Lake Michigan! I have a whole new love and respect for Lake Michigan. 😉

Hi Esther! Glad I could help make that connection! Good to hear from you.

Thank you Jessica for another great read. The Cameron Crowe article was particularly interesting – the first time I’ve seen it, and the photos on the boat – well, what can I say?!? I’m so glad Randy shaved off his moustache, he looked so much younger without it!

Hi Judy! You’re very welcome. It was my pleasure.

I agree. The mustache made him look older. Maybe he was wanting to look more mature or different. But, I think he looked more like himself without it.

Great information & so many Amazing pictures! All of your Blogs are sensational! Thank You for All You do! We will keep Randy’s Memory Alive Forever!

Yes, we will! Thanks, Gwen!
