Great pick David! Thank you. I don’t have the physical LP anymore (it was Chicago XI) but if memory serves, the liner notes for this song were hinting at Terry’s solo project. Something like “if you like this, keep an eye out for more.” If anyone has the liner notes please post them. 🙏😁This album also had the first released recording of his “Mississippi Delta City Blues” so Terry was definitely being prepped for a solo album. I think Chicago XI was released n the fall of 1977. Then tragedy struck in January 1978.
Loved this tune as a kid. Killer guitar work
Chicago XI, the last album Terry recorded.
Saw them perform this live at one of their shows- brought the house down!! Terry was amazing and even better in concert...
Wow
You recently did Mississippi Delta City Blues which was also from this album, the last Chicago album featuring Terry Kath. This is probably my favorite off this album, but by no means the only one worth hearing.
This was Chicago XI, the last album of the Terry Kath Era and the last Chicago album with James William Guercio as their producer.
XI's release was on September 12, 1977 and JWG was fired after that but before the accidental death of Terry Kath on January 23 1978.
Thanks for the info Craig!
Great choice! I had forgotten how much this performance rocks! Terry Kath was the man!
I was feeling tired all day. Then I heard these solos and now I’m jacked. Thank you Terry Kath wherever you are.
Hello all, this was from Chicago XI. This was the last album released where Terry Kath recorded. There's one song, Little One, that is absolutely amazing. You'll need to hear it, but his bluesy deep voice is amazing on that cut. The last time I saw Chicago with Terry was in Houston in October 1977. I actually wrote a Chicago concert review for the Rice Thresher (Rice University student paper) and it included a group shot on the front page. I'll look for it. How I miss Terry's voice. RIP Terry Kath
Chicago XI, a great album 💿 indeed!!!
Terry's kicking it here!!
TERRY FREAKIN' KATH.
Why is this song not played on classic rock radio... This guy is so underrated....There are so many more great songs that John Q Public has NO CLUE about. As many Zappa songs as you do, you should do just as many Chicago songs...They are Criminally underrated
Listen to the last two cuts on this album. Also, Terry Kath vocals. Beautiful song
Thanks for the tip!
Yes I agree... Little One is beautiful song
I saw this live in July 1977, a few months before Chicago Eleven came out. Played it just like the record.
Wow! I've heard this but it's so long ago hearing it today is like getting to hear new material with Terry wailing on vocals and guitar. Thank you David!
Watching this One again right now great song could be their best album I love it love you
CHICAGO the ROCK BAND w/ the horns taking a break ✌️
Kath was going to start recording a solo album the day after he died. This song makes me think about what could have been. This was Kath's last album.
Can't believe I missed this one! There are so many cool songs on this album "city map". I think this is Chicago XI.
Thanks for watching Keedeeg!
Going through your back catalog finding all these great Chicago songs so much fun! Last album here with Terry Keith I believe maybe their last grade album! Love this one uptown baby love you. Sorry for the misspelled words
This was the last song Terry Kath wrote. While a prolific songwriter, it is pity that almost none of his music ever caught on with the general public. Even the classic "Introduction" is little-known (despite the fact the group plays it to start their live shows).
The song, Jimi Hendrix🎸 would have cameo’s on.😎🎸
I'm with Dan, the song ended too soon...
You did react to a much later released bonus track on a wood Chicago V CD. that was not the final version that was recorded on Chicago XI (City map). That was "Missouri Delta City Blues". I suggest you listen to the one on Chicago XI. Why, you ask? Because it shows the progression of their song writing and arranging. From fairly scattered and incoherent on the bonus track to tight and logical on the official track. Of course, you don't need to do a reaction video on it, but I would be interested on your take of the comparison.
Mississippi Delta City Blues
Thanks for the suggestion Karen!
@@SightAfterDark You're welcome!
Didn't they originally write it in 1969?
@@jeankutzer1556 I you referring to "Uptown" or "Mississippi Delta City Blues"? Either way I have no idea when it's original concept was written. In several interviews especially when Robert Lamm talks about recording he has said they go back to old songs or old song concepts he wrote and reworks them before they would be chosen for their album at the time. They did the same thing for their latest album for several songs.
And to think Baby What a Big Surprise was the hit single off Chicago XI... I think the Big Surprise would've been on the people who bought Chicago XI on the strength of the Peter Cetera ballad (his only writing contribution on this album). And, as other people commented on, the best version of Mississippi Delta Blues is on Chicago XI - much better than the dirge-like demo track you reacted to (which is a recent bonus track addition to Chicago V).
I don't think you guys have touched Chicago X (Chocolate Bar Chicago) yet... great album... a real mixture of song styles (including If You Leave Me Now) and two TK songs that bookend the album.
Thanks for sharing the details Tim!
Give a listen to Mississippi Delta Blues from this album
Killer guitar, Killer drums and Bass
And this tune had no horns! A sample of what was soon to come but due to tragedy we were all left in mourning instead. Wonder who was to be recording with him later that evening, the day of his death? Anyone know?
I HAVE NO IDEA WHO TERRY WAS GOING TO RECORD WITH THAT EVENING.I NEVER HEARD ANY ONE SAY.
Hey if you’re wondering where to go next may I suggest Live at Carnegie Hall and that’s over 4 album sides or Live In Japan which is even better.
That’s so funny, on next week’s Chicago reaction, we suggest some live Chicago from the patrons! Thanks for watching Rand!
@@SightAfterDark Cool! I saw that tour for my one and only Chicago concert on New Year’s Eve 1971 in Las Vegas Nevada. I was 19. It will be interesting to see what they chose. Fun fact the cd added the songs that didn’t make the 4 lp box set. There’s a great movie about Terry’s Daughter searching for his lost guitar called The Terry Kath Experience highly recommended and I think it’s still on Netflix.
Wow. Quite different from what i'm used to listen from Chicago. I read that Terry Kath was one of Jimi Hendrix's favorite guitarist. He must have heard this performance.
blows the doors off Jimi Hendrix!
great album, and great song!! underrated song. listen "THIS TIME" another beatiful song by chicago XI and a great little solo by terry
This song is just a sample of what could have continued as Terry's awesome guitar and vocal legacy had he lived longer... sigh.
JANUARY 23 1978. IS WHEN TERRY DIED.
Damn, I forgot about this album!
It was a crazy year for me(University)
Terry was an absolute wonder...
Without him, the band lost a huge chunk of it's soul.
WHAT? NO ROBERT LAMM?
XI.
Jimi Hendrix was a big fan of Terry Kath calling him the best guitar player in the universe..
You haven't even touched on their Music..
