Early Chicago from their formation in the late 60's until the accidental death of founding guitarist Terry Kath in January 1978 was a kicking rock band with horns, managed by James William Guercio (albums Chicago Transit Authority - Chicago XI). After that they had tinges of disco and became a sappy ballad band under guidance of new producer David Foster and founding bass player Peter Cetera. Check out the appropriately titled track "Introduction" written by and lead vocals by Terry Kath on this same album as he "introduced" the sound of this band to record listeners in April 1969. That laid the foundation for their sound for the next decade.
On their second album, simply titled Chicago, but informally called Chicago II despite not having the Roman numerals in it, their most famous track was 25 Or 6 To 4. Two other of their biggest hits from that album were Make Me Smile and Colour My World, both part of a seven-movement suite titled "Ballet for A Girl In Buchannon". THIS is the essence of Chicago.
Great synopsis of the best Chicago.
Early Chicago is more or less the Chicago that no one knows about. It's like discovering a whole other continent with uncharted musical gems to explore. They've got a great balance of rock, jazz, and love ballads 👌
To answer your question as others have, Yes, the same band minus The Late Great Terry Kath!! Terry Kath shared vocals and was the lead guitarist of the band before his demise and in my opinion, Was the Heart and Soul of the Band!! Please check out their remake of the Spencer Davis Group's song called "I'm a Man", and "Beginnings " just to start!! Got a few more so stay tuned to my comments!! Thanks so much for reacting!!
I found your question at the beginning: "is this the same band?" really cool. On the early albums Chicago is - I say - a lot more experimental and I love that! It is worth listening to the whole album (maybe start with "Introduction"?). Except for "Free From Guitar", which is interesting but not really nice, every song is worth listening to.
Agree with your statement except for the "Free Form Guitar". I could imagine Hendrix making the comments about the greatness of Kath's guitar based on that production. Peace out.
@@williamstlouis3368 I'm in the minority here but it's not a conscious composition. According to the liner notes Kath was wanking around at a sound check looking for "sounds" and they rolled tape on it. Kind of like Guitar Center on any random Saturday morning. :D
Well well well....looks like one of my favorite reactors has discovered the unparalleled genius of early Chicago, my favorite band in the history of EVER!! 😁 I apologize in advance for how long this post will be, but I can't help my excitement when someone gets introduced to my guys. (I also apologize that much of what I say will probably be repeating what others have said.) There is no arguing the commercial success that Chicago had in the 80's, with their "light rock ballads" like "You're the Inspiration" and "Hard Habit to Break," but I think it's very safe to say that most long-term, die-hard fans of Chicago consider their first 10-11 albums (roughly their first decade) to be their gold era, when they were at their creative and musical best. Here's a primer of the original lineup:
Danny Seraphine, drums. (As a drummer who patterned everything I did when I started playing after him, I have to list him first.) Fantastic talent who had a real flair for fusing rock and jazz. In my opinion, one of the most underrated drummers of his time.
Terry Kath, guitar and lead vocals. Often referred to as one of the best guitar players of all time. When Chicago was opening for Jimi Hendrix in their early years, he reported said to one of the horn players: "Your guitar player is better than me." He also had a beautifully soulful, gritty singing voice. Sadly, he died in 1978, just over ten years after the band started.
Robert Lamm, keyboards and lead vocals. A wonderful keyboard player and songwriter, with silky smooth vocals. He's the one you hear singing lead on this song.
Peter Cetera, bass guitar and lead vocals. A gifted bass player with soaring tenor vocals. Anytime you hear someone singing in the rafters on an early Chicago song, it's him.
Jimmy Pankow, trombone. A talented trombone player who is constantly moving on stage, he also does the vast majority of the horn arrangements.
Walt Parazaider, saxophone and flute. A versatile woodwinds player who makes the flute sound cool.
Lee Loughnane, trumpet. A top-notch trumpet player who was a favorite of Doc Severinsen, the long-time Tonight Show band leader.
This horn section is, in my mind, the best you're ever going to hear; they are tight, dynamic, and stunning.
Everything Chicago did over that first decade is simply fantastic, and here are some of the best that I encourage you to check out:
"Ballet For a Girl in Buchannon" A brilliant, lengthy piece from Jimmy Pankow that includes two huge hits for the band, "Make Me Smile" (my favorite Chicago song) and "Colour My World." The entire piece is absolutely worth listening to, and it comes from Chicago II, which is my favorite album from any artist, ever.
"Introduction"
"Beginnings"
"Questions 67 & 68"
"Listen"
"Fancy Colours"
"Free"
"Lowdown"
"Saturday in the Park"
"Dialogue, Parts I & II"
"Just You and Me"
"Something In This City Changes People"
"Feelin' Stronger Every Day"
"(I've Been) Searchin' So Long"
"Call On Me"
"Wishing You Were Here"
"Old Days"
And definitely their most iconic hit over all the years, "25 or 6 to 4"
Again, I truly apologize for making this post so very long, but no artist gets me more jazzed than early, classic Chicago!! Welcome aboard! 😁
Great job, you get it! I'd add "Hit by Varase".
I’d add the great jazz of Chicago VII, especially the first three tracks of side 2 that are like a suite: Italian From New York/Hanky Panky/Life Saver all by Lamm
I couldn't, have said it better.
‘ Introduction’ is cool and the best ‘introduction’, first cut , first album , this is us and we’re awesome.. first 3 albums doubles - they insisted.. had to agree to reduced royalties
Everything about this album is extraordinary! It's not anything like the Chicago that most people know today. It was an experimental, edgy, anti-establishment fusion of rock and jazz and NOTHING that came out after Terry Kath passed away was as good. They still made sellable MOR rock ballads, but this debut album would never be surpassed, in my opinion.
The first 8 albums were quite different than what you may thought. Check out 25 6 to 4 and Make me Smile.
This is the REAL Chicago. It wasn't the same after Terry Kath's tragic passing and they went into all those ballads.
25 or 6 to 4 live tanglewood- mind blowing
They were a raw rock band that doesn't get the credit they deserve! Hendrix said Terry Kath was the greatest player he'd ever seen. This is Fire! ✌🤘😎
Listen to “I’m a Man” from the same album by Chicago.
After the death of Terry Kath Chicago was another band. For me their first LP was their best, their second LP the second best and so on going down. When they reached Pop I stopped listening. The real Chicago is the band in the first years with one of the best rock guitarists of all time Terry Kath. Thanks for your great reaction.
Agree but also moving into the 80's was a tough transition for many great seventies bands. Even with TK they were already beginning to morph into a different type of band.
@@markblom8039 True!
Early Chicago... try South California Purples on the same CTA 1st album..
First time checking out your videos as soon as I saw this song. My favorite Chicago song. When that rift drops about half way through....filthy.
Please please more Chicago when Terry Kath ( guitarist)was a part of this group. Singer was Robert Lamm. . RiP Terry Kath- . Chicago is still my #1 band 50 years and running. There were never 2 songs the same. I had this album. I know very different. Never made it to radio side. Lol. I know you are waiting for the brass
Liberation. Recorded live in the studio.
One review at the time said the guitar sounded as thought the strings were being whipped instead of plucked.
One song written in 1969 but not recorded until 1978 was Mississippi Delta City Blues. Also Terry's last recording was a sample of his upcoming solo work. It's called Uptown. No horns.
Terry kath. When chicago was still a rock and roll band
Basically anything on that album is fantastic as well (except the very experimental “free form guitar”).
So three fantastic album sides as a debut !!
Yes yes yes, more Chicago! "Introduction", "Beginnings". "South California Purples", "Movin' In", "In the Country", "Ballet for a Girl in Buchanon", "It Better End Soon"... and that's just a few highlights from their first two albums! Go for it!
The same band in the early days .then there was CHICAGO IN the 80s with quite a few changes!!
Terry, Danny and Peter going to town! Give Introduction a go, It has everything.
Later on on the V lp in Dialogue pt I&II at about the 605 mark with the keys and horns stripped out, pure power trio stuff.
If only...one of the best power trios. And two of them could sing like no one.
Another great guitar performance by Terry Kath.
You would find some awesome history of influence they were. You experienced Teri Kath RIP. He had that edge for sure an experienced them before they went love ballad-y. Thanks dude. Check them out. South California Purples amongst tons of others. Thanks 🙏
Do you think Terry Kath's hand would fall off (Yes, it's the same band) after he played this live? A roadie just off stage with big satchel full of hand replacements!
I have seen and heard him before. Live! My lad, you've got a listening to do!
Sweet intro🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤘❤️ dude was a bad ass guitarist
Speechless is good!!
Essentially, it IS a different band. Chicago lost a lot of it's mojo after Terry Kath (lead singer and guitarist) died.
As an aside, I think this album must be in the discussion of best debut albums of all time!! Every song (with the exception of Free Form Guitar) is great!
Man you need more Chicago on this channel. Please do "Dialogue 1&2" from their V album 🙏
chicago died when Terry Kath died !!!!
This album was released way before that evil commercialism crept into their sound. Early years, a good rock and roll band. Fast-forward, a so so pop/ballad band
The album gives you more. Peace out.
Great video reaction. Wanna another Chicago bass and guitar mind blowing jam? React to "Oh, Thank You Great Spirit" off of the album Chicago 8 .
Awesome to see all you people "in the know"! I othen feel like Im pissing in the wind trying to convince people who the original Chicago was. Before some membrrs got castrated.
THE GUITARIST IS THE GREAT TERRY KATH!!
This the real Chicago...a rock band with horns...not the sugar sweet crap that was put out after Terry passed. You can blame that incredible narcissist David Foster for the later CRAP after Terry.
Here is a link to a live version of 25 or 6 to 4 ua-cam.com/video/7uAUoz7jimg/v-deo.html
I have been a passionate fan since 1971 until the mid ‘70’s.No offense,but I don’t understand reaction videos.I hear the music I’ve loved for 50 years to watch you shake your head and say it’s fantastic 10 times.I know that.I would like to see some insight,analysis,whatever.Just sayin’
Thank you so much for reacting to this. I am trying so hard to get as many reactors to listen to it because I love it that much...
Once the guitarist Terry Kath died the band went to the ballads and soft rock. Terry Kath was the heart and soul of the group.
South California purples by Chicago
South Carolina Purples/ same album. What a bass line.
This is my favorite song by them and it is off their first album. The other Chicago song you heard was after they lost their guitarist and lost their balls. Try this one next off of their second album its just as good as this one: ua-cam.com/video/MbGEIsKOt_8/v-deo.html
Great reaction.
Have always liked Chicago, but this is awful.
Sounds like a temper tantrum to me. I've loved Chicago since the early 80's, maybe before. This is not what I'm used to hearing from them, and would never request this one. For those that love this, I respect your viewpoint, please respect mine!)
@@MrsBJPalmer Yes, right. Strictly just didn't appeal to me.
Have you ever heard the Russian tribute band" Leonid and Friends"? Really quite good.
@@m.a.sperry3424 No, I haven't. I'll look them up later today. Thanks for the suggestion!
Maybe it's just not for you. And that's fine. But this is Chicago at it's creative and technical peak as musicians.
Trying to respect your opinion... errr..., no, can't do it. You have awful taste in music. LOL.
