    Our high school band was invited to march in a parade in Chicago. We were able to stay a couple of extra days to go to the museum and attend a huge concert in the park for their 4th of July celebration. We actually got to see Chicago (the band) play several of their hits. Our band director inspired so many children to join and continue band because he chose to invest in the current music for us to play. Even the visiting teams loved when our pep band played 25 or 6 to 4. Our trumpet section blew everyone's socks off. I'm thrilled that you enjoyed the music that I still love listening to!

    Just a bit of information about the band and especially regarding Terry Kath. He couldn't read music and wasn't interested in learning how to. Terry is an AWESOME GUITARIST 🎸! Jimmy Hendrix loved his guitar playing and they were supposed to get together for a jamming session. Sadly, Terry passed away from an accidental gun shot to his head and they never got to jam together. I ❤️ love Chicago and saw them in concert at about 18 years old. We had 4th row center seats which was so exciting! Sadly, the music was sooo loud being so close and my ears were killing me. Big bummer 😕!!! Still, I absolutely love them. I enjoyed your podcast and hope to catch you again 😀. I have been watching 👀 many different podcasts where they too are watching songs from my era.

    Peter Cetera (bass), Terry Kath (Guitar), and Robert Lamm (Keyboards) were ALL lead singers for Chicago during their glory days. Each had a unique sound, which may be why their harmonies were so good. For example, check out the song "Beginnings' which Lamm sings or "Color My World" or "Make Me Smile" which Kath performs lead. Maybe even "Saturday in the Park" in which both Lamm and Cetera perform lead vocals.

      The 70's were magical, much like the music! America is so much worse in the 2020's. We were more accepting, more kind, more thoughtful. We created "Earth Day" to entry to make people aware of our damage to the planet, which is still ignored by our country. It was a great time to be gay in America. I came out to my entire University in Central Alabama in 1970 and it was a wonderful, loving, experience.We truly believed that "peace, love, and understanding" were possible and even inevitable as light dawned on human minds.
      We also were stalked by the draft, we mourned our friends as they were told to report to the military for the first in our history of stupid military misadventures where we pissed away trillions of dollars while killing, maiming and mentally damaging our young soldiers...

    This song was groundbreaking even to my young 12 year old brain in 1968. I played alto sax in our school band and was born and raised in Chicago. Incorporating horns into rock music was unheard of. I thought it made the sound richer, more interesting and even more powerful. I remember the trombone and trumpet players in our band mimicking the intro to this song during our band’s warm up time. We would just smile and wish we could hear the whole song. Fast forward to 2022. I jumped at the opportunity to attend a performance of this great band at an outdoor venue near my home. These now grey haired musicians were spot on in every way. They were singing and playing live in an outdoor venue and sounded perfect! It was a thrill to finally see them in person.
    Watching you discover them brought back all those great memories. Your response to their talent made me realize once again why Chicago will always be one of my all time favorite groups.
    Thank you for the joy your program brings. Your daughters will love watching your videos as they grow older! What a great gift to them.

One of the best concerts I've seen in my life. They played for 2 1/2 hours. No fancy show/dancers/posing... bullshit like today. The whole band was on stage and just jamming away for 2 1/2 hours.

      Kath was the lifeblood and keeper of the keys to this band, IMO. I saw them when I was a sophomore in high school and they toured for Chicago X. He died just a few months later. They certainly tried to hold it together, but I think all of their adventure and edginess slowly drained out of them. It was rough watching one of the most unique and creative bands of the 20th century turn into the musical equivalent of My Little Pony. 😢

Watching your face, your smiles, etc. like opening up my gift, which makes me happy. And #3 We (the older crowd) always seem to learn something new about the song or artists from YOU guys!

    Bass player and singer, Peter Cetera, got in a fight at a Cubs game and got his jaw broken in three places. Cetera found that when they cut the wires off, he could only gingerly open his mouth, afraid to have his jaw stuck open again. It changed his entire singing style and had the fortunate side effect of producing one of their best-loved hits, ‘25 or 6 to 4‘.

Some of it I didn't like, some of it was just played too much on the radio that I got sick of it, but my sister definitely knew what music she liked and was always willing to share it with me.

    My favorite band and I’ve seen them about 100 times in person. To me, 25 or 6 to 4 is the best rock song of all time. 😊

    25 or 6 to 4...It is the time that this song was created. 25 or 26 minutes to 4 am.........I saw Chicago last year in Northern Ca. Thunder Valley Amphitheatre, outdoor concert. It was a amazing concert. I have realized since watching these reaction music videos, just how fortunate I was to be a teenager with this music! No cell phones, no distractions, just real talented musicians!

      I saw Crowded House last night in Chicago and the guitarist said he wrote the song he just played at about 3:35 am when he couldn’t sleep. Then it dawned on me, that time is 25 or 6 to 4. I think he may been telling a joke that only I got.

      @@bleckandbleck No that's correct. This song was created when he had writers block and was writing a song at 25 or 26 minutes to 4am..while he was sitting cross legged on the floor. That is exactly how the title was formed.....great band.

    To quote the great John McClane, "Welcome to the party, Pal." Terry Kath was one of the greatest guitarists you never heard of. There's a documentary about him, done by his daughter, that is well worth watching. I believe it's called "The Terry Kath Experience."

      If you want to see their music done to total perfection with joy- take your son to see the Russian Chicago tribute band- Leonid and Friends. Their performances are beyond amazing and they sound like Chicago would’ve sounded with current sound engineering. They’re all over YT. ❤

    The band was put together by the guys in the horn section. They wanted to be in a rock band but not stuck in the back doing dance routines. They wanted to be out front with the guitar and vocalist They also wrote many of the songs and did the arrangements. A great band and I won't argue the #13 ranking. ☮💜🎶

    Terry Kath, Jan Akkerman and Rory Gallagher are the three guitarists who definitely belong in the pantheon of the ten greatest rock-guitarists of all time … but keep getting forgotten.

    Hello! Thanks for sharing your response to my favorite band:Chicago. There are so many n y Chicago tunes that are on fire. A fantastic live band. I've seen them over a dozen times. Terry Kath was a wonderfully inventive guitar player. I encourage you to listen to the entire Tanglewood concert. Enjoy, my friend

    The first time I heard Chicago Transit Authority was my 1st year (1969)at university and I had 2nd row seats. The main act was Sam and Dave and Chicago was the warm up group. What an evening! I saw Chicago again in 2022 on that year's tour. They still sound amazing!

      I saw Chicago in 1970 on a college scholarship weekend when I was a senior in high school. I had never been to a concert, so I sat up close to the front so I could see them. I was almost deaf when the show was over. It took my ears a while to recover. It was great.

    Hi Sebs. I just ran across this review and loved your comments and expression. At first I was bummed that you didn't know about Chicago but after you listened to it your reaction was awesome. This song came out in the last '60s and Guitar Gently Weeps has the same chord progression but a slower rhythm. The album was a multi album set. Another song from that album that reflects the times but is totally different. The song is "Colour My World". I sing both myself doing Karaoke to be different . I was a kid when this came out. Listen to the whole album. You'll be mesmerized

    You're spot on, he was writing a song early in the morning and it was amazing, I was a rock drummer in a local rock band in SE Kansas. And Chicago was one of my favorite bands in the early 1970's as the Beatles were on the way out. And they did it live as well as they did it on the album. Best

  • @schuberttim
    @schuberttim 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +7

    Yes, this is one of the most literal great songs that I've ever heard, a song about writing a song in the middle of the night. I loved it the first time I heard it and still listen to it at least once every few months.

    Just discovered this channel a couple days ago. As an aging boomer, it's so much fun to hear this music through fresh young ears like yours. There's a Ukrainian/Russian ensemble called Leonid and Friends that do covers of groups like Chicago, and they are fantastic!! Russian speakers who really put their hearts and souls into it.
