Chords for Peter Cetera (Chicago)- Last Interview, Going Solo (1985)

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ I _ make money with this, don't you?
Great.
Hi, Terry.
Hi.
We're here.
This is David Foster, Peter Cetera.
Hi, David.
Good rocking tonight.
And we're putting you in the same suit.
Now, you're writing tunes together, right?
We, oh yeah.
I mean, him and I are like.
_ _ Tell me about this relationship.
You _ get together, you're responsible for two incredible albums, Chicago 16 and 17.
_ You win a Grammy.
You win a Grammy.
Everybody gets happy here, right?
But tell me about the _ things that go into doing this. _
Our relationship is _ stimulating, to say the least.
I don't think that you can have, I don't think anything great can come creatively without _ [G] some kind of rub.
And we certainly have had our moments in the studio.
Our rubs.
He rubs me the right way.
That's right.
_ [Bb] But truth of the matter is _ that he's on my top five list as far as singers go.
Singers. Singers.
And _ with a voice like that to work with, it just makes good sense for us to [N] stay together.
Did you, oh, get off.
Did you wonder where he was coming from when he threw out the tunes at the beginning and said, no, we gotta rewrite and do all this stuff?
No, I knew exactly where he was coming from.
He wanted to write them all.
_ _ _ _ He agreed with me, though.
He, they.
No, it was, hey, it was definitely, you know, we needed somebody to come and say, let me see your rubs.
Bend over.
You know, let's go.
Let's go this way.
What was the first tune that you knew was going to be a hit?
_ _ _ _ [Bb] Hard to say, I'm sorry.
Yeah.
I mean, we knew we knew hard to say, I'm sorry, it was going to be a hit.
And that number one slot is almost impossible to get.
In fact, Brian Adams _ just got one recently.
It's real hard to get.
And we got it with that one.
Celebrated out of the beach.
Remember the last time you take me out for dinner?
[Ebm] OK, we're going [A] to get out.
_ And those [N] are the top 20 albums from coast to coast.
Very impressive list that.
_ You want to make a comment about something in particular?
Stay the night video.
Oh, _ _ _ if nobody knows this one, there's a shot where _ me, I, as myself is, is I'd be laying in the alley. _
I'd just be laying in the alley.
Trivia question.
_ There's a guy laying in the alley.
A stuntman actually gets hit by a blue truck.
And so, you know, he's actually on the video.
He gets hit.
So you will see a guy getting creamed for a few dollars.
Did.
Is he all right?
He's all right.
He was, you know, I think he broke a few ribs and bruised his side and everything.
But, you know, these guys hanging out for you.
And it's, you know, we're beholden to [Dm] him.
As a matter of fact, let's do a medley.
OK, let's do stay the night.
You're the perspiration and [N] hard habit to break.
Inspiration.
Inspiration.
I'm sorry.
And hard habit to break.
You want to do three of them?
Sure.
In that order.
Great.
[Dm] Right now.
Foz, you do it.
Here.
No, you do it.
Here.
_ You do it.
Here's the Chicago medley. _
[B] _ _ [A] _ [D] Medley of their hit Chicago [Dm] and three of the best right there.
Nice stuff.
And put it back to back.
Thank you.
What about Chicago 18?
Will, in fact, Foster produce Chicago 18?
Well, if he doesn't, I ain't going to be there, pal.
_ In truth, _ there probably will be a Chicago 18.
But this guy, Peter, very much is pursuing.
Very much is pursuing.
He is pursuing.
What's his career?
_ A solo career.
Yeah.
And it's coming on hot and heavy.
In fact, he's here right now for us to write for [Bb] that.
_ _ Can we say what song we're writing for a movie?
Can we say that?
_ Well, Rocky IV, but who's?
Is that true?
But that'll be solo.
Peter Cicero solo.
You want to step out now?
_ Thanks.
No, no, no.
No, I'm stepping out now.
Because you had a first solo album.
Yeah, well, I think there's a little time to do that before I move on to Chicago.
[Db] I'm going to do a little acting and do a solo EP and do a video.
What else?
What else?
No, you're going to stick around while we bail him out, OK?
He's got to go.
You have to go.
I'm leaving.
I'm going back to West Van.
Whatever.
But we'll talk about you and Chicago in a [Bb] second.
I'll talk about him, too, OK?
Great.
Bye, David.
Thanks, Molly.
Bye, pal.
I'll see you later.
_ This is too much.
_ In fact, I don't think anybody in that room knew that Peter Cicero was going to leave
Chicago, but he did leave, and that's all there is to it.
We've got some idolized winners to take care of.
We'll finish off with Peter and a video [N] vote winner between two British number one hits
right after these.
Time to wrap up this thing.
OK.
_ But we need a trivia question.
OK.
A Chicago trivia question.
OK.
What is my IQ?
No.
No.
Better than that.
We were all in a movie years back, and I was sort of the star, one of the stars.
But about _ four or five of us were in a movie, a major movie, I might add.
Was Gidget in it?
Gidget was not in it.
James Brown?
James Brown was not one of them. _
But it was a big hit.
Can you give us a hint?
Was it a musical? _ _
No.
OK.
Fine.
Are people going to know the answer to this one?
_ No.
Yeah, I think so.
Some might.
Some might.
We'll see if we can find some Chicago product to give away.
So that's your trivia question.
We'll have an address for you a little bit later on.
OK.
We want to thank you.
I want to ask you about your future.
The acting thing is very interesting, because it expands you as a person.
Do you seriously want to pursue that?
Sure.
Once you get into it, it's addictive, isn't it?
Yeah, it really is.
Well, you're finding out, right?
Yeah.
Plus, the videos, it kind of helps, I think, relax you in front of the video camera.
Where does Chicago 18 take you?
Do you stay where you are, or do you start to experiment? _ _ _
I think, _ I don't know.
Experiment _ is_
I just make music that I like.
_ _ If it's experiment or whatever, I have to like it.
We've, you know_
I don't know.
You got me.
I've got a lot of words.
No.
You've just been hanging out with this thing for so long.
Yeah. _
_ Chicago is in the fall, probably, in the future.
_ And wherever it takes us, it will be good.
_ OK.
Thank you for coming by.
I really appreciate it.
Good seeing you again.
All right.
Stay away from Foster.
I will. _
