You just witnessed one of the greatest live guitar solos ever! Terry Kath was a genius and one of the greatest guitar players the world has ever known. I was so fortunate to have seen Chicago at Fillmore East about 3 weeks before this concert. Terry was on fire that night too. RIP guitar master. 🎸🔥
Just to see a show like that would have been phenomenal. I can not imagine being able to PLAY like that! What a fantastic sound all around, super talent!
This an amazing performance. I never get tired of it. R.I.P. Terry Kath. More excellent live performances to check out REO Speedwagon “Roll With The Changes”, Billy Joel “New York State of Mind” live from the Old Grey Whistle Test and Queen at Live Aid.Thanks for the great reaction.
There is a Russian band called Leonid & Friends, that covers Chicago, BST, Earth Wind & Fire. You can't tell them from the original bands. Check them out. They do a lot of touring around the U.S.
You hear people talk about a band being "tight", well these guys were SO tight that Terry could start strumming his axe perfectly timed to when the others would finish getting set up and come in with him right on time, in sync, not breaking rhythm with each other, gliding into the song as smoothly as an Olympic ski jumper sliding down the ramp to the gold medal flight.
Why can't there be music like before? All these young cat's today talking about how they are music producers and have opened independent labels w/friends or whomever. Those of us who grew up in the sixties, seventies and eighties could explain how it use to be to find these singers/bands. Talent scouts would go out and pound the pavement .. going from one LIVE show to another, looking for talented and the top/most popular sounds on the music strips. These independent labels can sign anyone they want and produce the music they want. Autotune/stereo recording does not need to be used. They can take it back to 'old school' mono/analog recording styles. One should remain optimistic .. yes? There seems to be quite a lot of young people today that wish current music had guitar solos, horn sections etc etc .. just all around raw, God given talent within the members of a group/singers. Trends come around in full-circle thru out life. Its time we go back to what was real "music"...
Jimi Hendrix told Chicago's publicist that Terry was a better guitar player than he was. They actually had plans to do shows together. When Chicago made the studio album with this song on it, Cetera's jaw had been broken and he had to sing it through clenched teeth because his jaws were wired shut.
Love big rock bands like Chicago..Terry Kath was such an underrated guitarist...you can see how his truss rod on that next was adjusted to have such a bow in his neck..just amazing
Well, I saw them two months earlier May ‘70 and I sat on the second row in front of Terry Kath hair flying all over. I saw them at Neshaminy Hogh School Langhorne PA in the GYM no stage on the floor. Outstanding ❤️😎👍🎸
They were mostly classically trained at DePaul university -especially horns, except for Terry who never learned to read music - basically .. self taught by ear - jimi said he played guitar better than he did and invited band to tour with him !!
Back in the day Hendrix was quoted pointing to Terry Kath was his favorite guitar player. CTA was over when he blew his brains out, so sad. RIP GOAT !!!!!!!!!!
Tanglewood is the super famous venue where the Boston Symphony Orchestra gives sold out performances. It has been around for a long time. Tanglewood is a music venue and festival in the towns of Lenox and Stockbridge in the Berkshire Hills of western Massachusetts. It has been the summer home of the Boston Symphony Orchestra since 1937. Tanglewood is also home to three music schools: the Tanglewood Music Center, Tanglewood Learning Center, and the Boston University Tanglewood Institute. Besides classical music, Tanglewood hosts the Festival of Contemporary Music, jazz and popular artists, concerts, and frequent appearances by James Taylor, John Williams, and the Boston Pops.
Terry use to play like this just about every night at the Whiskey. This was completely USUAL for Terry. They would cut him loose on the last late set on a song called Liberation. He was absolutely amazing. Here we see just a sample of his talent. As time went on Chicago songs were written to appealed to a broader audience and therefore his genius was not utilized. But I will tell you... I have never seen anything like him since. Nothing.
ah that's interesting your dad had the records, but me born in 1961 it's my eldest 2 brothers who were around 16 in 1970 who bought all those prog rock LPs and Chicago, Yes, Genesis, ELP, Pink Foyd, King Crimson ( which i called King Krimson ), Santana, Hendrix, the Woodstock Album, Billy Cobham, Rick Wakeman, Gentle Giant, and some fliutists because my bro played transverse flute, so Paul Horn, Styx, 10cc, Fleetwood Mac, Gino Vannelli, BB King, oh and even Grand Funk Railroad ( i ddidn't play that one i thought it was blue grass and i had heard blue grass i didn't like, but they were not blue grass. Oh and the crazy flutist ... Jethro Tull. My Brothers didn't have Edgar Winter records they were missing something good. Well records were expensive for summer job pays
Old man life bbc and Black Sabbath Paris almost the same time.. among the best too. This has to be one of my favs of all time though.. everyone is just killing it
Chicago was and is one of my top bands. One of the best guitar solos ever created. But if you want more horns, let's hear some Phil Collins solo work with the Phenix Brass (from Earth Wind and Fire). Anything from his 1990 Berlin Concert, but 'The West Side' is a flat-out jazz fusion piece (instrumental).
There's nothing like an EPIC live performance. Check out my favorite, The Who's "My Generation" from Live at Leeds. A 15 minute raw and powerful medley worth every second. Santana's Soul Sacrifice from Woodstock is epic as well.
If you're looking for great live performances, check out The Allman Brothers Band - Whipping Post - 9/23/1970 - Fillmore East (Official) ua-cam.com/video/FUvxRjYqjEQ/v-deo.html Also: Traffic - Low Spark Of High Heeled Boys - Live 72 (Full Song) ua-cam.com/video/R8M8R835Ck4/v-deo.html
Since you want good live videos, this is from aTV appearance of Chicago doing "l'm A Man": ua-cam.com/video/WM6l7twOfso/v-deo.htmlsi=Wm9ccBcPZOiqg-Fs. It's cool them all getting into playing percussion back in 1969.
Early Chicago aka Chicago transit authority had some of the most amazing music out there before Terry Kath’s unfortunate accident and then became soft and ballady. Poem 58 is another must listen.
This is what happened when a handful of young JAZZ musicians got together in a coffee shop / cafe and decided to form a rock band......( there was no money in jazz at that time ).
I have a song suggestion for you, again from this same era and one of the best live recordings. React to the Allman Brothers Band “ In Memory of Elizabeth Reed” from their 1971 At Fillmore East album. There is no video of this performance and any video of this song you would find is not from this series of concerts and not as good. It may be the best live instrumental ever performed. The interplay between the guitarists and bass player is on another level. Check it out. You will thank me for it.
Journey 1981 Houston Escape tour recording has to have several best live performances for them - Don’t Stop Believing, Mother Father, Faithfully. Check it out.
LIVE requests????? I just found this one lately..... Black Sabbath: "WAR PIGS"- LIVE in PARIS. please check it out. The Drummer beat the drums with the thick end of the sticks... Them drums were screamin for mercy, not to mention the Lead guitar and Ozzy's vocals.....
@@jobai3229no it’s not an urban legend. They got sued by the chicago transit authority. In order to avoid the lawsuit they changed their name to Chicago. They even did a commercial for the CTA.
Chicago Transit Authority was their first album, when they went by that name. The song "25 Or 6 To 4" was on their second album, with the band name shortened to just Chicago. On vinyl it was on the second disc, first side, second track, right after "Fancy Colours". Their first 3 albums were studio double LPs, their fourth was a 4 LP box set compilation of tracks recorded live during 8 shows at Carnegie Hall.
R.I.P. Terry Kath. One of the greatest guitarists of all time...
Yep he played rhythm and lead simultaneously while also singing lead vocals on other songs!!!
My favorite guitar solo of all time ❤
Mine too.
It rocks!! Definitely in my top 10. Up there with Led Zeppelin Stairway to Heaven live.
Mine too
Wailing on that guitar like it owed him money.
😂
😂😂
I am 70-something and just started taking bass guitar lessons. Get yourself to some keyboard lessons! If I can do it, you can do it!
This has remained my favorite Chicago tune of all time.
Mine too
Can't say it enough that the best music came from the 70's!!! And I lived in it, what a Time it was!!!
Abso-freakin-lutely

I'm so glad you got to hear this!! Terry was something !!!
Agree thousand percent, this was when music was music.
I have seen them live back then. Terry Kath was OFF THE CHAIN. I HAVE NEVER TIRED OF THIS VERSION. SEEN IT HUNDREDS OF TIMES. LEGENDARY
The lyrics say it, after that guitar solo, I feel like I need to sleep too.

Chicago at their peak.

STILL ONE OF THE BEST SONGS EVER
..TERRY KATH ❤
Double albums had a perfect second purpose. Make your morning mood.
I was 10 when that came out!!Still 🔥🔥🔥
Jimi Hendrix said that Terry Kath, the lead guitarist for Chicago, was the best guitarist he ever heard. I think that this was a great observation!!!
Being from Massachusetts this is one of the best things that happened that year nothing in Boston Garden compared!
And underneath that Terry Kath guitar solo, if you listen for it, is a young Peter Cerera just smokin’ that bass. It’s almost a guitar duet!

This was like 1/2 way through the show. The whole show was great. Check out the encore, I'm a Man and the Make me smile suite from the same concert
Loved your reaction! Deep dive on them is so worth it. Thank you.😁

If you like Chicago live you should check out some of Stevie Ray Vaughan's live performances you will get blown away by how he plays the guitar.

"Poem 58" is Terry Kath at a level God wished he could play guitar like that.
Check out Grand Funk Railroad - "Inside Looking Out" Live version
Your headphone cord always goes on the left ear!
Most amazing part of the solo is that all he has is a wahwah pedal, nothing else.

When Jimmy Hendrix was asked what it was like to be the best guitarist in the world he said...
Ask the guy from Chicago
Eagles "Hotel California"
Not even close
As usual,studio vision is 10 times better. Music is about sound.
This album was called chicago transit authority. They got sued and changed it to Chicago
The suing part is an urban legend.
@@jobai3229no it’s not an urban legend. They got sued by the chicago transit authority. In order to avoid the lawsuit they changed their name to Chicago. They even did a commercial for the CTA.
