This iconic track peaked at number 7 on the Billboard Hot 100 and helped propel their debut album to double platinum status. The single remains one of the most recognizable anthems of the early 1970s jazz-fusion movement with over 1 million copies sold by 1970.
Did You Know?
• Songwriter Robert Lamm was inspired to write the lyrics after an usher outside a movie theater in Brooklyn responded to his request for the time by saying, "Does anybody really know what time it is?"
• The original studio version features a complex free-form piano introduction that was famously edited out for the radio single version to make the song more commercial for AM radio.
• This performance at Tanglewood saw Chicago step in as a last-minute replacement for Joe Cocker and Jimi Hendrix, resulting in what many consider the definitive live document of the band's original lineup.
