Both of these clips have been pulled from YouTube for a couple of years now, as is all Donnie Dacus footage.

It’s crazy Terry Kath passed in January 78 and the band was rebooted and back on national tv by October. 12 albums deep since 1969. No wonder these guys were fried. Being said, Seraphine and Cetera are absolutely killing it in both clips here. The band losing both guys eventually killed the bands true essence.

Dacus was obviously Chicago’s Richie Kotzen. More than capable but the eventual scapegoat of the band’s trajectory with other insecure members pushing against the hire. I noticed Dacus joined Badfinger in 1982.
