    Terry Kath was the guitarist, who also sang lead on "Make Me Smile," which you reacted to previously. If you want more Terry Kath on guitar, try "Poem 58." He, Peter Cetera, and Danny Seraphine (the drummer) make a killer power trio on that one. "South California Purples" is another good Chicago track as well, which is more blues-oriented. And if you're feeling REALLY adventurous, you could check "Liberation," a 15-minute jam where Terry Kath cuts loose big time. I'm done now. 🙂

    Loved this reaction. As I have probably 98% of them. One group that I haven’t heard any reactor do is ARS. The Atlanta Rhythm Section has a pretty deep catalog and we’re quite popular in the seventies. You could start your dive into this group with Georgia Rhythm. A good second choice would be Love Is A Colorful Thing. As I think back, you may have done an ARS reaction. Maybe So Into You. Any way, I don’t think they have a song you wouldn’t like. Thanks in advance for the consideration.

    Maybe have a listen to their cover of I’m a Man...... their arrangement appears to follow the earlier arrangement of The Spencer Davis Group ( Stevie Winwood ) but with added Hendrix like runs and riffs.
    The song itself is a much covered blues standard from a time no one can remember..... started out as Mannish Boy but was probably first re titled as I’m a Man in the early 1900’s.
    Give the studio version a listen, it is brilliant.

    Original Chicago in the late 60s and 70s, while Terry Kath is still alive, is remarkable, no one else sounds like them. Great ensemble, so remarkable that horn section but everyone in that band was a super talent. They went soft in the 80s after Terry passed but what you saw is how good they were. Try Beginnings, another classic from them.
    Also, Tanglewood, where this was filmed, is 20 minutes away from me, here in the Berkshire Hills of Western Mass. It is a world famous music facility that is home to the Boston Pops in the summers and has seen a ton of great popular artists stop there in season. Some all time shows you can see on You Tube are The Who, Jethro Tull, Santana, the Jefferson Airplane and of course, Chicago. Well worth taking a look. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶

    That man in the blue denim shirt and jeans on the killer guitar is the late great Terry Kath. He was a confirmed guitar god. Even Jimi Hendrix admitted that Terry was a better guitarist than he was. Of course Jimi had his own style and technique and was a guitar god in his own right and was known to compliment other musicians and did not have a "godlike" persona. He was real, down to earth. I'm not one to grade guitar legends cause there are many who are good, a few who are damned good, and several who are a dimension above. B.B. King once said that Peter Green (Fleetwood Mac) was the only man who gave him the cold sweats, his chords were so sweet, such a great, distinctive sound. I love it when great men in their field are gracious enough to state their attention and attraction to others at or near their level.

Hendrix asked the group to go on tour with him and the rest is history. Pankow added, there were talks both Hendrix and Chicago recording an album together!

    3 lead vocalists: Peter Cetera that you heard in this performance, Terry Kath who was that brilliant guitarist and Robert Lamm jamming on the keyboards.

    Great reaction to a fantastic group and song. Now do yourself a favor and check out the very next song on the album - "Color My World"! It was the theme song for my HS Junior Prom. It is one of the great love songs of the 1970's!!!
