Yes. I remember an interview with Lamm and Pankow where one of them claimed that his tempo had gotten too slow, and sang "Tell... me... you... will... staaaay... make...me...smile."
On the other upper extremity, Seraphine, in an interview, claimed that he took over the business and finances because none of the others would step up, because they were too busy getting stoned.
You pays your money and you takes your choice; Here's Seraphine's current band, "California Transit Authority," playing the ballad. It's sixteen minutes long, as opposed to the 13-and-change on Carnegie Hall; but the strange -- and in my mind lovely -- things they do to "Colour My World" seem to cover that. The tempos seem fine to me.
By the way, that's Mark Bonilla (whom you may know from the Keith Emerson band) on the guitar. CTA has also picked up Chicago alumni Bill Champlin and Jason Scheff. The one thing that seems clear is that Chicago's core (at this point, Lamm and the horn section, but mostly Lamm and Pankow) dish heavy on anyone who leaves or is fired from the band.
Cobra handling and cocaine use are a bad mix.
Brilliant...
I first saw him do this sort of thing Live (Asia tour) with similar action on hi-hat etc alongside and then had found this, a solo similar to the one I saw, that doesn't get boring at all, and those particular actions start at around minute 2.

I saw Andy Irvine do a slightly different version of this song at a solo gig in Cuyahoga Valley State Park in the 90s. He'd finished the main set, and came back out for the encore, and asked if there was anything in particular we'd like to hear. I shouted "Arthur McBride," and he proceeded to play it, to the enjoyment of all. Very cool.
Largely overlooked these days but a definitive live album of the era...

I suppose the theme is quite familiar for those who know Variations from Andrew Lloyd Webber (probably the most prog he did)
Liked enough its first 1-2 minutes to want to bookmark it. Would have been cool to take the guitar out of the strictly "either rhythm or improv/solo (unless absent)" role seen here (whether gypsy approach demanded or not), especially considering there are three of them here! :-) For instance, I think especially the essentially violin-only cringeyly-alone high-freq sonics of the second 24 seconds sounded like an underdeveloped and struggly segment that would have benefited much from guitar sonics and skill, and even did not sound all too correct to these ears noteswise.
Absolute top of his game in this clip. Masterful, effortless and ever so slightly deranged. I've come to prefer his classic country hits to the pioneering rock and roll stuff.
