We deserve no pride from the awesome music they made. They deserve that. The band. We only get to feel pride from the stuff that WE have done. We had the glorious advantage of growing up with amazing music like this. But we get no justification for pride. Important technical distinction.
Same for me Teresa. This must have been one of the best concerts of all time. And our generation keeps being young. I dance to Chicago on a daily basis.
November 14, 2024 Still coming back to YT for more great Chicago tunes. We didn't know how lucky we were back then...but sure know it now. Peace & Love to my generation still rocking out in their 70's to the 70's ❤
Hey Jeff this is Jennifer your cousin. YES I am borrowing a friends lap top LOL. Been thinking of you and the song I wrote for your Dad Jake. Have my Mom or Dad give you my number. they are living in Hays
I remember hearing Chicago on the radio all the time. When I was 13 my friends parents took us to see them. You're right about not understanding how lucky we were back then. I know now in my 60s what an amazing time the 70s and 80s were.
@Moon glow It's not that I don't agree with you, because I really do! Nobody loved Chicago more than me. But! Just before and after Woodstock, The the late 60s & 70's were Thee greatest periods in American Popular music EVER! To never be seen again. It was a Magical Musical Renaissance made up of the most amazing musicians, producing the best modern popular music in American History. You could throw a rock in any direction and hit a Great Musician or Band in the 60s & 70s Rock era. It was the Raw sound of Wild untamed Freedom! Free Love & Sex, Drugs, Poetry to the most amazing sounds of R&B, Rock & Roll, Hard Rock, Fusion Jazz Rock. Like Tower of Power, Santana. Blood Sweat and Tears, Steely Dan and The Brecker Bros. Southern Rock, Like the Doobie Bros, and Mountain, Grand Funk Railroad, Allman Bros, Steve Ray Vaughn, Joe Walsh? And never forget the British invasion that gave us, Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, The Who, Elton John and Never ever forget the LIVING LEGEND, The man himself, Eric Clapton. There's just too much and too many to mention in one conversation. I cry when I listen to those recordings, Because that was when we were Wild & Free, Young, Dumb and Full of Cum! And the Music of the 70's Made it Flow!
This is one of my favorite bands from my youth. I'm 73 years now in '23 still I listen to this great performance at Tanglewood can't get enough of it, everytime I get the shivers...
Terry's guitar skills were so good that we tend to forget that he also had a beautiful soulful voice. Such a shame he passed at such an early age. I never tire of hearing him play. Miss you, Terry
Yet the unique talents we enjoyed through a variety of bands throughout the 1960s and 1970s makes one realize just how BLESSED we were, and to appreciate 🙏🏼 having been spoiled children in our wonderful era. ❤ Love 🥰 to everyone.
Please do not forget or discount Danny Seraphine in this conversation. One of the most under rated, under appreciated drummers of all time....my opinion
Color my world is the most special song in the entire world. You see when the government started pulling troops out of Vietnam I was pcs to the Philippines. I met my wife and on our first date this was the very first song we danced together. We are celebrating our 49th anniversary today and I love her as much as I did 49 years ago.
A remarkable talent! Besides his masterful guitar playing which was om a level that few have ever matched before or after, his voice was that of a white Ray Charles, and that is high praise!
@@grantlee1959 I remember hearing that interview someone put it on You Tube awhile back and it so happens that they were good friends as well so the 2 best guitar players are playing in heaven together
I stopped my truck in 1974 and danced this song (color my world) with a new girl I met, we married 6 months later. Have 4 sons and we lost her unexpectedly after 46 years. Thanks for this song
" my condolences of Your Loss ,❤ I bet she was quite a catch . all the best to yuh and Family n' take care yerselves. The good Times is what makes you Smile n' keep on Truck'n ( goin) ☮
So true so true. If you haven't completely consumed the 2 album set Chicago Transit Authority you don't understand how good the Chicago I loved was. After number 5 it all came crashing down. Just pure trash after that. Jimi Hendrix even gave Terry his due by commenting on how good he was as a guitar player. Transit Authority proved to be the absolute proof of how good Terry really was on guitar.
Listen closely to the soulful voice of Terry Kath. Brings tears to my eyes when I think his life ended so tragically and way way way too early. A legend sorely missed!!!
Would have loved to see had Kath lasted longer into the 1980s how different Chicago would have sounded. I don't think that 1980s version people know would have occurred had Kath been around. They had a very unique sound that was destroyed once Kath became an early ancestor
If you are slow dancing with a pretty girl, Stairway to Heaven is longer. (More close contact.) But Colour My World is a MUCH better song! (In my youth,I knew a young lady, who thought my singing talent was OK. I think she was tone deaf!) steve
Terry Kath, one of the greatest guitarists that ever lived, how I wish he could have lived much longer. He had so much soul in his voice. Nobody could sing Color My World like him!
The musical talent in this band is unmatched. There was never another group that could compete. Today, 7 guys with instruments and great voices is unheard of, especially in live concerts. We should all remember the music and how it made us feel and acknowledge the hard work it required to keep the magic coming. ❤️
Interesting to see how trombone player, James Pankow looks at Kath with such appreciation as he wrote the song. Fortunate to have one of the best guitarists and vocalists leading it.
Michael felicidades de tus 65 me ganas con 5..yo tambien valoro mucho estas bandas iconicas de nuestros tiempos ya no hay buena musica ... que pena ..mejores tiempos cuidate un saludo para ti..
Almost 46 years ago, I was 18 years old and walked down the isle to this song. I was about to marry the man of my dreams. All these years later he still is and every time I hear this song it takes me back to that moment. What a beautiful song and life.
An isle is a small land mass completely surrounded by water. You've been speaking English for well over half a century, yet you can't figure out how to spell aisle.
In Chicago, it's all gone, sad to see Terry, He had to goof around act like a jerk and blow his brains out in front of 1 or 2 of the guys in 1978😢 1 of the most talented singers in guitar players in the history of music.. how upsetting
last few minutes, wide angle shot, right to left....Peter Cetera, Danny Seraphine, Terry Kath, Robert Lamm, James Pankow, Walter Parazaider, and Lee Loughnane. My goodness what talent on one stage. The absolute best 7 man band ever. My idols.
well, there’s been a huge agenda for many decades to dumb down the children who are growing up and just create obedient slaves. Why wouldn’t the music decline as well?
+James Tulk Gone too soon. Saw them in concert in '73 & glad I did. IMO their best albums + greatest hits were when Terry was alive...I mean, Colour My World, Make Me Smile, Saturday in the Park, 25 or 6 to 4, Beginnings, etc etc etc...fabulous music. Never could get into Peter Cetera's style, & I agree, they were never the same. JMHO
Most of them were studied, trained musicians. Terry was essentially self taught. He had a phenomenal ear, worked hard, and I think was brilliant. He had a tremedous, rich, soulful voice, and was a fantastic guitarist. Danny Seraphine was a real studied drummer who also could read-- a rare thing for Rock drummers back then. He had speed and wonderful technique... like Bobby Colomby of Blood Sweat and Tears, and Dino Danelli of The Rascals. These guys were real "muti-dimensional" drummers. This is such a fabulous live video!
Yes, he was for the most part self taught, he did take some lessons, what many would call jazz guitar when he was about 17, but I think that lasted for less than two years. Back in the very early 60s he would sometimes play with a band in the basement of a house next to ours. I was very young and would often go over there and go through their basement door and watch them. I do remember they played some Shadows songs and Buddy Holly. Terry would sometimes play the drums. He once put me on the drum throne and gave me a set of sticks and showed me how to hold them and let my play around on them while they were took a break, I was so young that my feet didn't even touch the floor. It's so sad, everyone of them are gone now, Terry of course, one by cancer, one by heart failure, and the last one about 5 years ago by suicide.
Permanently haunted by these musicians. I was 21 when this concert was performed and it still binds me under the spell of their sound. Chicago, how grand, very grand you played.
This takes me back to the 70's and listening to the album my brother and I got on our record player. The sound was just amazing then and it still is. I miss growing up in the 70's so much along with missing my brother. Rest in peace big brother.
You are so right about growing up in the 70s. The time was so much fun to be a teen. Peace and love were finally going away and patchouli oil use was cut to a minimum. Thank God for that. The cocaine from South America drug lords changed the world. The cocaine life style of fast and furious destoyed the hippie culture. One exception is the Grateful Dead fans. They are hippies that will never stop being hippies.
@@bigdawg7703 Whatever, I was taught - you don't work,, you don't eat, .. you steal, you go to jail. For a long time. That's how it was in the 70s. /. Not anymore.,.........
Man, whenever I hear Chicago from the 70s I think about when I was a little girl, and hearing their music on the radio all the time. It takes me back to a simpler time. Good times...Terry Kath’s vocals are so deep for a young person
James Panko poured his heart and soul into this band as much as anyone, and probably laid down the greatest cowbell solo of all time right beside Terry Kath's legendary stuff.
Without a doubt this band was way ahead of the times. Terry Kath was amazing singer and as good and even better than most of the guitar players out at that time. And of course the whole band was incredibly talented.
It's July 2020, and Daniel Marin is right, "Chicago was one of the greatest bands of all time". Colour My World / Make Me Smile was such a great track, and that was an absolutely fabulous live performance.
This live version of Colour my World--and then the end of Make me Smile, is so incredibly beautiful! Terry's soulful voice makes my heart sing! Wooo Hooo!
@@halweiss8671 It's so cool to see the trombone player, James Pankow--who wrote the ballet--watch Terry sing Colour my World. He's as much in awe of his vocals as we are!:)
I learned the flute part, took some time, but I never get tired of it. The notes are on my wall so I can play it whenever I feel like it, like today...
Wow this is superb always been a fan Chicago 3 great musicians peter cetera, Robert lamm, & one of the finest guitarist of all time terry kath 🎸even Hendrix admitted it thanks for a excellent upload 💯👍🎵🎶🎸
I was a young teen when this song came out. My mother loved it. I can appreciate Terry Kath's soulful, tender side on this slow ballad which shows how deep his emotions registered.
Consider oldest member of band here was 25. What anazing mature talent
It doesn't take much talent to arpeggiate standard chords with zero rhythmic variation
@@adamcoutts9591riiiiight
It's hard to believe. 25
?
beyond reproach they were! Terry the soul
@@adamcoutts9591 It's the composition...... their songs are genius and I don't know about you, but I could never write this stuff.
I mean… no wonder we’re so proud of growing up in the 70’s with bands like this around ♥️
We deserve no pride from the awesome music they made. They deserve that. The band. We only get to feel pride from the stuff that WE have done. We had the glorious advantage of growing up with amazing music like this. But we get no justification for pride. Important technical distinction.

I love this band!
Thanks you father, that 40 years ago, I listened it!
Gianluca.
You cannot, I repeat, you cannot beat the music from the 70’s.
I was born only in 1982, but I cannot agree more! There was someting in the sound..., in the hearts of the musicians...
Great sound technicians. As well as the band is playing, it's not easy to capture the feeling on tape.
You could say that about the 60's as well.
80s
60s and 80s were good
Terry's guitar skills were so good that we tend to forget that he also had a beautiful soulful voice. Such a shame he passed at such an early age. I never tire of hearing him play. Miss you, Terry
Shouldn't have happened
Just mentioned the same thing about his voice to a friend while listening to this song...
🍻 to Terry !
He had a beautiful voice! He was a very talented man.
What happened to him. I never heard.
I just don’t know how there could be a band any better than Chicago
Yet the unique talents we enjoyed through a variety of bands throughout the 1960s and 1970s makes one realize just how BLESSED we were, and to appreciate 🙏🏼 having been spoiled children in our wonderful era. ❤

You’re right!
Not underappreciated by knowledgeable music fans.
right....but totally f'd up his life with drugs............
100% correct. He is awesome. And i am a drummer for over ,50 years. He's damn good

Totally agree 👍
@@conshygirl830 I come for the old tunes, the memories ride along for free !
I love how jimmy is standing there watching terry sing the greatest love song ever written , no one else could have ever sung it better.
Jimmy I understand wrote the song?
After all these years they still color our world!!!!! I grew up in the 70's have not heard music like this since. They still makes us happy.
I believe that too. Old is best. Love Chicago. I saw them last night at the Greek. They were Great!!!❤😊
He didn't write many songs and Terry said it might take him a year to write just one but it was always Killer..
I noticed that too, Diane!
This happened exactly 52 years ago and is still amazing.
I was 11 yrs old. Loved music on the radio since I was 6 📻 Lucky to have seen Chicago !!!! ❤ Favorite song to slow dance to.
Color my world is the most special song in the entire world. You see when the government started pulling troops out of Vietnam I was pcs to the Philippines. I met my wife and on our first date this was the very first song we danced together. We are celebrating our 49th anniversary today and I love her as much as I did 49 years ago.
Wow...Congrats!
Awwww...thank you for serving your country in a questionable war, so much suffering all around. Beautiful story
Right on!!!
I love how I can be sitting here in England in 2021, worlds apart from your story yet linked by appreciation of this wonderful band and their music.
Gratz and thank you for your service. I loved this song when I was 14. I'm 64 now.

Early Chicago, before they went completely mainstream, is without a doubt, THE most innovative band of the rock era, period.
They were considered “mainstream”. They were called “The Frank Sinatras of Rock ‘n’ Roll” at the time, and they are at Tanglewood.
Jimi Hendrix was a big time fan of Terry Kath. Chicago also toured with him & was open to collaborting.
So true so true. If you haven't completely consumed the 2 album set Chicago Transit Authority you don't understand how good the Chicago I loved was. After number 5 it all came crashing down. Just pure trash after that. Jimi Hendrix even gave Terry his due by commenting on how good he was as a guitar player.

What a voice...What a man......What a sound......WHAT A BAND!!!!!

last few minutes, wide angle shot, right to left....Peter Cetera, Danny Seraphine, Terry Kath, Robert Lamm, James Pankow, Walter Parazaider, and Lee Loughnane. My goodness what talent on one stage. The absolute best 7 man band ever. My idols.
im now 69, thanks to the internet for catching up with their live performance that i thought would never happen to watch!
Thank God I grew up with this playing on the radio.
Its never gonna be like this again!
Music today doesnt come close...
well, there’s been a huge agenda for many decades to dumb down the children who are growing up and just create obedient slaves. Why wouldn’t the music decline as well?
The flute in Colour my world is very well and tenderly played. And Terry's voice is simply wonderful.
Learned this flute part when I was 13 in 1970 to play at my parents friends daughters wedding. 😎
This was our wedding song August 1979. It brings the tears every time i hear it especially since she has passed. She loved this song.
God bless you❤️🩹💕🙏
🥺
And the flute at the end, surreal.
Never seen such a talented band. Their beat was of a kind.
Does music get better than this? NO!!! Thanks, guys, for coloring my teenage world back in the day.
I had this 45 record when it came out. My little sisters would always play Color My World at their slow dance parties.
Jimmy Pankow who wrote this beautiful song is standing there with his trombone just mesmerized by Terry's beautiful voice...❤❤❤
Terry was one the greatest ever. Chicago were never the same after his death.
+James Tulk You are right. NEVER.

Listening to this song in 2022 love Chicago and always will. Great group of talented musicians!
Can’t agree with you more! You are so right, Dawn!
Listening to Terry sing this makes we cry. What a voice!!!!
Most of them were studied, trained musicians. Terry was essentially self taught. He had a phenomenal ear, worked hard, and I think was brilliant. He had a tremedous, rich, soulful voice, and was a fantastic guitarist. Danny Seraphine was a real studied drummer who also could read-- a rare thing for Rock drummers back then. He had speed and wonderful technique... like Bobby Colomby of Blood Sweat and Tears, and Dino Danelli of The Rascals. These guys were real "muti-dimensional" drummers. This is such a fabulous live video!
Yes, he was for the most part self taught, he did take some lessons, what many would call jazz guitar when he was about 17, but I think that lasted for less than two years. Back in the very early 60s he would sometimes play with a band in the basement of a house next to ours. I was very young and would often go over there and go through their basement door and watch them. I do remember they played some Shadows songs and Buddy Holly. Terry would sometimes play the drums. He once put me on the drum throne and gave me a set of sticks and showed me how to hold them and let my play around on them while they were took a break, I was so young that my feet didn't even touch the floor. It's so sad, everyone of them are gone now, Terry of course, one by cancer, one by heart failure, and the last one about 5 years ago by suicide.
The most brave manly blues jazz rock song of all time! Terry Kath what a manly voice!!!!
Peter Cetera on bass? are you kidding me?
Just look at that incredible lineup of Talent!!
Un freaking believable !!!
Thank goodness during my generation!
Permanently haunted by these musicians. I was 21 when this concert was performed and it still binds me under the spell of their sound. Chicago, how grand, very grand you played.
nailed it ! half a century of love for this band..
Terry Kath was so extremely talented..so sad that the world lost him too soon
Terry was only 22 here. RIP my brother.

One of the greatest guitarists of all time shame he doesn't get the credit he deserves !
So 😢 sad. Terry gone too soon😢

This takes me back to the 70's and listening to the album my brother and I got on our record player. The sound was just amazing then and it still is. I miss growing up in the 70's so much along with missing my brother. Rest in peace big brother.
Sorry for your loss
@@lonidelahuerta3439 thank you.
You are so right about growing up in the 70s. The time was so much fun to be a teen. Peace and love were finally going away and patchouli oil use was cut to a minimum. Thank God for that. The cocaine from South America drug lords changed the world. The cocaine life style of fast and furious destoyed the hippie culture. One exception is the Grateful Dead fans. They are hippies that will never stop being hippies.
@@bigdawg7703 you are absolutely right.
@@bigdawg7703 Whatever, I was taught - you don't work,, you don't eat, .. you steal, you go to jail. For a long time. That's how it was in the 70s. /. Not anymore.,.........
lets not forget Terry Kath.. a Super Monster Killer , Guitar and Voice ! Beautiful !
Man, whenever I hear Chicago from the 70s I think about when I was a little girl, and hearing their music on the radio all the time. It takes me back to a simpler time. Good times...Terry Kath’s vocals are so deep for a young person
Chicago at it's best ! Terry Kath really drives this 1! Excellent
So much talent in that group it’s truly amazing !
Look at James looking at Terry as he sings his song .. these guys, this was a brotherhood .. a brotherhood of musicians ..
..arguably the best group of musicians ever formed...
..ya..that's why i said 'arguably'...peace Larry
@@Scorpion-vh8lj maybe one day we can listen to sum good music together..peace brother
Man I was 11 years old. Been a musician most of my life. What a time of music to grow up with! Blessed I am 🙏 with.
Omg, that Terry Kath..so talented but not recognition, I feel. he's sadly missed still.
Diane Bays excellent doc on AXS TV “ SEARCHING for Terry Kath. IM SURE YOUVE SEEN IT IF YOUre a Chicago fan. a If not, I highly recommend🎼
@@kimberlymann9228 "CHICAGO: THE TERRY KATH EXPERIENCE" on Amazon Prime. If you can do yourself a favor and watch it.
@Steve KlemettiWorried about the wrong thing
James Panko poured his heart and soul into this band as much as anyone, and probably laid down the greatest cowbell solo of all time right beside Terry Kath's legendary stuff.
Wow..I'm 62 years old and forgot how much I loved this song. Haven't heard it in since I was 13 years old.
Without a doubt this band was way ahead of the times. Terry Kath was amazing singer and as good and even better than most of the guitar players out at that time. And of course the whole band was incredibly talented.
I first found this one in the early days of UA-cam. I still like coming back once in a while.
Every time I watch a video from this era of Chicago I am saddened that Terry is gone. He had so much talent.
This is just plain and simple fucking awesome!!!!!!
Damn straight.
tjerwin1 That about sums it up.
Daphne
Couldn't have expressed it any better.
Jimmy Trombone is a genius. No question. Very happy he was inducted into the Song Writer HOF. Well deserved!
I have known Danny Seraphine since age 14 and I am 68 now. He was and is a good friend and back then my mentor
It's July 2020, and Daniel Marin is right, "Chicago was one of the greatest bands of all time". Colour My World / Make Me Smile was such a great track, and that was an absolutely fabulous live performance.
And this was their peak membership time.
You got that right!!! FANTASTIC
One Of my favorite songs
Bring me back to Better
Days
This live version of Colour my World--and then the end of Make me Smile, is so incredibly beautiful! Terry's soulful voice makes my heart sing! Wooo Hooo!
There’s the first half of the suite on UA-cam, also.
@@halweiss8671 It's so cool to see the trombone player, James Pankow--who wrote the ballet--watch Terry sing Colour my World. He's as much in awe of his vocals as we are!:)
I learned the flute part, took some time, but I never get tired of it. The notes are on my wall so I can play it whenever I feel like it, like today...
Saw them live in 1970 at Winterland in San Francisco and I'm still listening to them today, Tuesday, 2-22-22!
It's almost not fair that someone could be such a great guitar player & have that good of a voice too. Truly astounding
Prince as well
Glen Campbell
I wish Terry would have sang the whole im a man song
they were a talented group
Too bad he couldn't count.
Amazing Tune even 50 Years later. Timeless 🎼❤️‼️
Our senior year Prom,1973 when my girlfriend was the prom Queen, and we had the whole dance floor to ourselves. Great memories!
Should have mentioned that "Color my World ", was our Theme song !
they all sound like they have classical training in music. They really had this shit together bigtime. I will never get tired of them ever.
parallax3d Danny was a high school dropout but studied with Jo Jones. Terry had no formal training
They went to Depaul university...
The horn players all had classical training.
Yes, they met in a college classical and jazz setting, these were no garage grunge bums!
@@randykohler3398 To be a little more accurate, the horn players had "formal musical" training, probably not "classical."
Wow this is superb always been a fan Chicago 3 great musicians peter cetera, Robert lamm, & one of the finest guitarist of all time terry kath 🎸even Hendrix admitted it thanks for a excellent upload 💯👍🎵🎶🎸
I'm 65 and I slow danced probably
over 100 times to this, yesterday it came on the radio and all those
young teenage memories came
back.
Remember me cutting in on ya
That drummer's no slouch! All amazing musicians!
They were all "Top of the Game" musicians, up and down
Danny Seraphine ahead of his time. Excellent drummer.
Their musical talent is fantastic.ur right.a lot of the band's in that era had REAL music, unlike the&?!!! sludge now that's mostly filth.
Kath was so bad ass. He could kill it with razor sharp guitar play and then construct and sing this sort of ballad. What a great pop artist.
for real, one of the best singer/guitarists of all time
Damn right. Another great one gone too soon.
Totally not true. I did Google it.
+Richard Simon actually it is true.. You may have to dig deeper but I have read that on several occasions..
It is true. Hendrix told the band Kath was a better guitar player than he was!
I was 12 years old when they played this at Tanglewood. Absolutely fantastic!!
I’ll never get tired of this song it was our wedding song thank you Chicago great band
In 1980 my crush asked me to roller skate with him to this, my favourite song. Heaven ❤
Colour My World must be the shortest Chicago song and my all-time favourite.
I was a young teen when this song came out. My mother loved it. I can appreciate Terry Kath's soulful, tender side on this slow ballad which shows how deep his emotions registered.
Colour My World sung by Terry Kath , just an amazing time for us all !
This song tears me up !!! I wonder why it hits me this strongly ? I really do .
