This video just goes to show how incredibly amazing these musicians are. The quality of the video sound cannot replicate what it sounded like in person but it gives you a very good idea of how it must've been at the venue. No tricks, no auto tune, no filler. Just raw musicianship. Priceless! ❤❤❤
Go dig up their debut album when they were known as The Chicago Transit Authority and play these two tracks: "Introduction" and "Poem 58". Guitar player Terry Kath wrote "Introduction" and sang lead vocals. He was called "The White Ray Charles" by his bandmates. Soulful baritone voice! "Poem 58" is nine minutes of PURE FUNK led by Terry Kath on guitar, Danny Seraphine on drums, and Peter Cetera on bass. Kath's guitar will have you needing an ice pack for your jaw after you pick it up from the floor! ua-cam.com/video/j8aJiLUaWGI/v-deo.html When they were "The Chicago Transit Authority", they were the house band at the Whisky a Go Go in LA. One night between sets, Jimi Hendrix, who was in the audience, went to their dressing room after catching their first set. He walked up to their sax player Walt Parazaider and said, "You guys have a horn section that sounds like one set of lungs and a guitar player that's better than me! You wanna go on the road?" They said "YEAH!". And that's how they became Hendrix's opening act on a national arena tour.
I saw them 3 times during this period and Terry always blew the roof off with his singing on this. I wish the sound was better on this cause it doesn't quite do them justice ....but you did. Thanks Biz.
Chicago is fire definitely check out more. Chicago was the first rock act to sell out Carnegie Hall for a week. RIP Terry Kath. . He died in January 1978 from an unintentional self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.
This is an edited video approximating one of the "Ballet for a Girl in Buchannon" radio edits. Apparently it's the casual fans unfamiliar with Chicago's original albums who keep requesting the "Make Me Smile" single instead of the complete composition. I especially recommend the Steven Wilson remaster of the fully intact suite from Chicago's 2nd album.
This is part of a seven-movement suite titled "Ballet for a Girl in Buchannon", on Chicago's second album. The record label at the time of the release in 1970 joined together the opening and closing movements, "Make Me Smile" and "Now More Than Ever" (a reprise of "Make Me Smile") to release a single of "Make Me Smile" that sounded complete. You should listen to the entire suite, which also includes Terry Kath's lead vocal on "Colour My World".
The late great Terry Kath, his untimely death in 1978 ushered in the Peter Cetera era of rock ballad Chicago. Prior to that time is when Chicago released most of it's signature songs with the original 7 of Kath, Cetera on bass, Lamm on keys and Danny drumming. Add in the 3 piece horns or Parazaider, Pankow and Loughlin and you have a tight band with remarkable improv skills that made every live show unique.
You must listen to “I’m a Man”. They switch from horns, etc to percussion with an initial buildup that layers the instruments sounds one on top of each other. Chicago’s only cover song. Written by Steve Winwood when he was in The Spencer Davis Group.
Terry plays out of this world as does other members like Danny the Drummer and all the horn players!Try reacting to Fancy Colours and Beginning!CHICAGO had many up beat great songs like Questions 67 and 68.
For something even more up-tempo than this and a total banger and a hit on the radio as well, check out Feeling Stronger Every Day. It will put you in the most amazing mood and once again the horn section is a big part of it. But everything about it is fantastic. That's one reason why I enjoy listening to channel is I am a musician and recording guy myself, and a composer and so forth, but the fact that you spent time in the studio and around that whole part of music, I think really helps you so much and I can hear it in the way you are describing these things as you learn more and more about them. It's great.
Rap is just an aggressive poem with a beat. It really isn't 'music' because there's no melody, or purpose of the instrumentation to tickle your ears. I have no idea how it can be appealing in any way, and I pretty much like all kinds of genres. I'd even go as far as to say it is castrating the hearts of the youth. It's a disaster.
Terry was a gift to the music world
Terry Kath is one of the greatest ever!
The Whole Band. Drag what happened.
Terry was the catalyst to Chigago ...the jammin' side went away when he passed. Truly a awsome presence on stage
Hendrix loved Terry.
I can never find a word to describe how Terry Kath handled his guitar, it like he absorbed it into himself
Terry Kath was so raw and emotional... my fav Chicago song.
I absolutely love Chicago. They always lift my mood.
You should definitely check out more Chicago that band is just amazing
Terry Kath was magical and gifted. Rest In Peace. Thank you for your gift of music

Terry Kath 🔥 And the joy. The exuberant joy that Chicago conveyed. Glorious. ❤❤❤
Musicianship at its best. Chicago is 100% original and unique. ❤❤❤
They rode that song into the sunset. 😊

Not only could he sing soulfully, he could play that guitar better than anyone at the time. Hendrix loved listening/watching him play.
dialogue 1 and 2 should be your next reaction from this great band !

Just so freaking good!
70s Chicago was straight BOSS!
Chicago is fire definitely check out more. Chicago was the first rock act to sell out Carnegie Hall for a week. RIP Terry Kath. . He died in January 1978 from an unintentional self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.
The best.
Terrys voice always gives me Ray Charles vibes which is awsome. Terry is a GOAT
A REAL love song.
Miss you Terry! This was a cool concert. Play it All. Lol🌴🌄

You ought to check out the crazy version of the live 25 Or 6 To 4!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The late great Terry Kath, his untimely death in 1978 ushered in the Peter Cetera era of rock ballad Chicago. Prior to that time is when Chicago released most of it's signature songs with the original 7 of Kath, Cetera on bass, Lamm on keys and Danny drumming. Add in the 3 piece horns or Parazaider, Pankow and Loughlin and you have a tight band with remarkable improv skills that made every live show unique.
I'd say the 25 or 6 to 4 was just as fast paced. Just as brilliant! You gotta do "I'm A Man" from this concert or studio ...they both Jam!
hell yeah
I still enjoy some of Chicago’s music made after Terry’s tragic death but for me it’s not the same, his vocals on this are just perfect
ONE OF A KIND 🎸🎸🔥🔥😎😊
BIz....you do listen to music on a dif level now. I do too. Whole other experience from a decade ago.
You must listen to “I’m a Man”. They switch from horns, etc to percussion with an initial buildup that layers the instruments sounds one on top of each other. Chicago’s only cover song. Written by Steve Winwood when he was in The Spencer Davis Group.
From Chicago transit authority to this...great band. As far as jazz fusion bands, I'll still suggest blood sweat and tears.
Early Chicago was the best. IMHO after Terry died, Chicago lost it's edge.
Terry plays out of this world as does other members like Danny the Drummer and all the horn players!Try reacting to Fancy Colours and Beginning!CHICAGO had many up beat great songs like Questions 67 and 68.

Imagine how much fun you had if you were at this show?
Love this, but frankly I prefer the studio version.
The guitarist terry kath did a song called tell me get the one that shows his face. Unbelievable
Gone too soon Mr. Kath.
React to Question 67&68 by Chicago.
Hendrix said he left Hendrix in the dust when he played guitar
Don't listen to anything post Terry Kath's death. Listen to the early product.
You can divide Chicago into Terry and After Terry. When he died in 1978 they stopped being a rock band and turned into a pop band.
70's Chicago is so awesome. Check out Beginnings or Does Anybody Really Know What Time it is
1970s Chicago is more rock. From the 80s on they became a ballad band, more or less. Check out I'm A Man.
React to Saturday in the Park!
"If you leave me now", "Hard to say I'm sorry ", "Will you still love ❤️ me"
Terry died from an accidental self-inflicted gunshot to the head......or WAS it really accidental?
Definitely an accident
Terry was better than Hendrix

why is your image bigger than the band? nobody wants to see you shake your head
