  • The band performs at the Nippon Budokan in Tokyo during their June, 1972 Japan/Australia Tour. This is a restored version of the video, with a clearer view of Terry's incredible fretwork during, "A Song For Richard and His Friends" and the only video we have of the trippy, "Fancy Colours". With Terry on his Les Paul Professional and Stratocaster, we see the force and power of Chicago with Terry Kath.

    Up until 3 months ago, I had no idea of who Terry Kath was.... I never hear his name. Having learned his name and after watching a ton of Chicago videos, I believe he may the best guitarist of all time.

    You know what blows my mind about Terry Kath? On the song "Beginnings," This guy, Terry likely says, to himself, this song is so F-ing great, I don't need to overplay on it. That was what blew my mind about early Chicago. Kath could have been one of the most 5 famous guitarists ever on talent alone. But, he was for the band first. And dominated singing, songwriting, and guitar playing.

      You guys are just old farts & fossils... 😉👍🏻
      And... I'm proud to be one of you!
      I'm 55 and when I was 7 or 8 , I discovered the Great Chicago.
      That Christmas my folks got me the CTA double album and an older (non-working) Garrard turntable.
      I had spent the year building a Heathkit amplifier (mono!) and had dug up an old pair of speakers that functioned but needed some loving care to restore the damaged wood cabinets.
      Their goal (& mine 😎) was to repair the turntable and get down to the fun part... Listening!
      It took me just a week or two.
      Nowadays there is "Autotune" which makes everything and everyone --> THE SAME!
      Oh well, A great trip down memory lane.
      Btw: As a teen, hearing of Terry Kath's death, I became fervently anti-gun. I was living in NJ, so that was the norm anyway.
      Thank God, I grew up and discovered the CONSTITUTION! I became a cop and volunteer firefighter/emt and am now an NRA firearms safety instructor. Lesson -- DRUGS & GUNS DON'T MIX!
      Rip Mr. Kath. Thanks for the memories and outstanding music.

All hail the "REAL Chicago 7" (and just as political as the '68 Grant Park/DNC Chicago Seven radicals, too... and miraculously, with a BACKBEAT!)

Dad was a classically trained musician, he thought he’d hate the concert… and walked out a fan! It became sort of a bonding thing with us, he loved Chicago.

On top of that, thanks to Michael I fell that every day his spirit and soul continues with me. His artistry has certainly influenced how I view the world and the man I strive to be.

    Even though the camera work is kind of rough on the eyes this footage is priceless. This IS Chicago. Unfettered by AOR hell.
    There are some mistakes but the performance is good. The sound quality at times is pretty bad. But these guys were so good that the footage remains enjoyable. Gloriously live, unfiltered, raw, powerful.They were more edgy than many would know.
    Kath really shines in Dialogue and Richard. He gave that Strat a good workout. Some of those fast, tight bluesy riffs had me thinking about SRV's smoking solos. Long live Terry Kath. As Joe Walsh said, he gave Chicago that 'rub' which made them such an exciting band, especially live. Insane playing by Terry in 25 or 6 to 4. A studio Les Paul was an interesting choice to play in live performances.

    Terry Kath was in a class by himself! I've seen Chicago 3 times. Twice with Terry & once many years after he died.
    It became a much different band without him & not in a good way. I'm not talking about his replacement guitarists. They were OK. It was the material. They became a pop ballad group. With Terry not only did they have the greatest guitarist on the planet but an outstanding vocalist & great funky jazz/rock material that was head & shoulders above their later material.
    Now, so many people have quit so they are a shell of their former selves
