Oh Lord, who else is loving this in 2024?
Me! I got to see them 5 times in concert-Terry Kath and all! Best music ever!
Me
I'm 71 and can say without hesitation that my generation had the BEST MUSIC EVER!
Right on! 71 myself and we had the best music.
How right you are!
@@jaketanner20001 I'm 50, and I'll admit to that!
I am 70 and I agree with you!
I hear ya. I'm 70 8:29 and feel bad for the young having to be raised in this up side down world 😢
Terry Kath was one of this era’s greatest guitarists. RIP Terry, we miss you.
I'm an 83 yr old female and as far as I'm concerned there was nothing like Chicago. My son is a drummer and was raised on the likes of Chicago. I can't stop watching Chicago 'Tanglewood'. Nothing better!
I Hope to get at your edge,could be a honor. This band l will
never forget very good music.
I played some day in a litlle band, and i know that feeliings.thanks for gimmy the oporrtuniti to know your kind of music that you like.
Gloria im 51 and I agree with you 💯 %, they are awesome 💥!!!, and 🙏you!!...yes I watch Tanglewood all the time also, incredible...
@@xXx-tt6lq lol. I'm 52 and agree.
I get rush after rush of goosebumps listening to these guys. . . I remember having a nostalgic feeling about Chicago the very first time I heard them and I was too young to be waxing nostalgic about anything. Now it all kind of makes sense - we are so lucky to have Chicago in the soundtracks of our lives
This is why concerts back then did not need lasers, light shows, fireworks, semi-naked dancers, and all that other BS. Just raw, rippin' great music.
Amen!
Agreed, but semi-naked dancers are always welcome.
Terry Kath was the “real deal” the guy could burn the guitar up, sing like a champ, and write some killer songs. One of the greatest losses in music history.
You can't get too much better than Terry
@@glennmorgan937 and I agree with you! Totally! 😊
I agree 100%. So much more to give us.
God Dang Right
Totally agree, possibly the most underrated guitarist in rock and roll history… when Jimi Hendrix is saying “I think he’s better than me.” That is saying something!
I can't believe Terry's guitar didn't burst into flames in the middle of the song.
No smoke, lights and mirrors here. Just straight ahead heavy, hard, balls out Rock n Roll. Nothing like it anywhere.
Playing live, no autotune, sounds just like the record! Maybe better... PURE TALENT.
Definitely better. The vocal harmonies
@@joaquinlezcano2372 This video was made 53 years ago. I think it's up there with the best live recorded performances ever.
If they have talent, why don't they use it.
@@martinstubs6203 ???
They are using it, you know...
They are musicians
The only song in the universe that does NOT need “more cowbell”…it’s fricken perfect!
I agree with you brother....... I gotta have my cow bells
Mr kath is one of the top 10 guitarists of all time hands down RIP 🙏✌
Fuck yeah
He is my number two behind Alex Lifeson.
Even Jimi Hendrix admired him
Terry was a beast... outstanding singer too. The band just wasn't the same after he died. They still managed to sell a ton of records, but the music went in a different direction. Very sad, as this is the type of Chicago music I love.
Damn he can play the shit out of that Strat!
I was a roadie for these guys at the time! It was a riot! Two semis full of equipment, three roadies to deal with it all!!! Lot's o' work!
you lived to tell about it ✌🏽
why didnt you stop Terry from playing with guns??
@@fyoukungflu5881 he probably wasn't there anymore, plus he says "at the time" which probably means 1970-ish, he only started playing with guns towards the end of his life
Good Morning! Two semi truck full of musical instruments equipment. And only three guys to bring all in. That amazing. They should pay you more for your work. And hired some more guys to help you. Terry Kath should have played around with a hand gun and play Russian roulette with it. I guess his parents never had a chance of talking to him about what not to do with a gun. He should be carrying one anyway. He should hired a trained military security guard to protect him and his band and crew members. Marlene Toledo Grayson
A.¹ Congratulations!
Drummers as good as Danny Seraphine were and still are a rare breed.
Getting down and digging in
He is my favorite drummer.
@@davidleigh443 im the trumpet and word man 4 this jam Diamond Dave.com
According to the documentary Danny was fired because he couldn't keep good time. I always thought he was quite good.
Tris Imboden was no slouch with them...
When you have 7 guys on stage, and only 1 is playing guitar...be thankful it's Terry Kath. MERCY!!
Je suis d'accord, il est terrible ce mec !!!
Somewhere is a clip where someone asked Jimi Hendrix how it felt to be the greatest guitar player in the world and his response was "I don't know, ask Terry Kath".
@@ericfrance1792 You two may have missed each other's meaning in the translation.
YOU NAILED IT!
Kath was a good as anyone I've ever heard.
Terry Kath, NEVER forgotten ! Truely one of the top 5 guitarists of all time !
Jimi rocked the world of all the musicians in the 60s. Who rocked Jimi? Terry Kath. Terry was just the best. Just his guitar, his amp, and his fingers.
@@rsplines12 - One Cry Baby wah-wah pedal.....one pedal...compared to today's standard pedal board with 20 pedals....
Jimi actually hired CTA to front for him and his tour. I was fortunate to see them together before the CTA was released in the spring of 1969. Jimi told Terry that Terry was better than he was. Great times!!!!!
@@rsplines12
He was amazing.
I agree with you .
There just aren't bands like this anymore. Truly something special.
Well, don't forget Taylor Swift!
@@danbrennan7348 🤣
@@danbrennan7348 🤣
The 70s were the best for music
I'll probably get a lot of thumbs down here but I don't care, this band Chicago in their finest just may be the best ever.
Oh man I love telling people how much I love Chicago...they look at me like, really! Then I clarify CTA ....before they went pop. The good Chicago when they rocked the seventies. Rey important band of the era. Horns, percussion, kath on lead and rhythm ....the list goes on, all true musicians.
Glad to have lived during a time when Rock was "Rock" and not the crap that's being "vomited" onto the public today.
They have two good songs: the "I'm a Man" cover and "25 or 6 to 4". That's it. They are both fantastic live. The rest of their music is crap.
I may not agree with ''the best ever'' but, they certainly do represent a Great Period in Time..
A Fave for sure, thank you you tube and Chicago for the wonderful memories.
I was 7 years old and this was before my appreciation for Sou, Rock and even Disco..yup I puked in my mouth just a little when I said disco...schit I did it again.
Loven the acoustics right now at the 4 minute mark !!!
@@napalmwarrior9540 It appears that you are either brain dead or a Bieber follower and perhaps both!!
I can see why Terry was Hendrix’s favorite. This has to be one of the best live guitar performances in history. RIP Terry Kath, you’re missed every day.
David Nissim 25/6/4 is his other. It's on here. Same concert.its truly sublime!!
Bro it isnt..seriously
Jimi had several favorites.
Listen to 25 or 6 to 4 live 1971 in Boston I think you tube has it. Shows terry as the Great player he was. It's sad many rock fans dint realize the greatness of this band, after kath's death they went pop, it's a shame !!
@@bob733333 Rory Gallagher was one as well
Thank God this got recorded. What a performance!
Indeed! Eargsam!! ❤❤❤❤
You're right my friend. 😃👍
Absolutely
Amen. Sometimes I have a need to hear that guitar feedback. He's amazing.
Just fantastic. All the cowbell you'll ever need.
I think we need a little more cow bell here guys !
More cowbell. Really explore the space
Love. 💜 The cowbell... Fondest of memories, events, good folks, hamming to these Dudes. Legendary!!
@@peterhammel1094 was he one of the horn section? Trombone?
@@TheRelger yes. James Pankow.
I really don’t understand why Terry Kath is so underrated. He was a favorite of Hendrix, Clapton and Page (Hendrix especially), and his style was mind-blowing. He needs more recognition.
I think because this was during the era of so many guitar orientated bands being so popular, he was overlooked by most rock fans. Chicago was truly a team effort, the way the songs were written and arranged, there no keying in on one person frequently, everyone got their chance to contribute and shine in the songs and during their shows. I think that was their core idea when they first formed the band. Many bands start out attempting that but personalities, different talent levels, and swollen egos quickly change the dynamics of the bands. They were all talented but they all looked to Terry, he was a natural leader, he was very good with people, they trusted him, liked his ideas, and his arranging. I think he could of lead the band in any direction he wanted and they would've followed.
Had he lived longer who knows what would of happened. He may of decided to try different things on his own. I think if he stayed, he wouldn't of allowed it to become the Peter Cetera Show, but that happened because he was gone and no one had anything new in song ideas except Cetera. Kath's leadership style was to include and inspire all, he knew how help and support the other's song ideas.
Not in the top 100 axe men according to Rolling Stone mag! They are a fuckin joke...
TERRY KATH is not underrated among guitar players ......He is still a huge reference on
top of the guitar " heroes " ......musical , fast and furious and so bluesy . This piece is
nothing but a " musical chef d'oeuvre " ....Vocals , instrus , groove ....are just MAGIC .
@cockyhemi He also described their horn players as “one set of lungs”. He admired the whole band, but Kath especially.
@@frankkolton1780 The label C.T A . ......was not allowed and leads to a trial from the
town of Chicago ...RIDICUL..U.S . !!!!!
This recording should be required viewing by anyone that listens to rock today as an example of good clean classic rock. No gimmicks just good musicians in a groove with basic technology. Love it.
You're so right!
There show is entirely like that. They are musicians!
The 70's created the best music we've ever had.
I am 79 years old and in my opinion,
We were trying to make up/ rebel, or get back at the assholes who censored any kind of fresh thinking that didn't adhere to the conservative thinking of a few who had the power to control what music we were allowed to hear.
Oldies but Goodies then Rock and Roll were lame and the pressure was building. The Beatles, from England, were allowed to come to the US and everything changed!
Many new bands came out of the woodwork with all new music that "we" were starving for.
Harmony with a guitar and sax in the background was no longer cutting it .
Music is considered the opiode of the youth but when the change came, it was like a dam bursting.
I got back from Vietnam in 67', right in the middle of this, talk about a ride...
I was 22 and trying to adjust to the world. It was the best time of my life!
Don't over-think it...but thank you for your service!
Thank you for your service friend.
I've never seen someone control a guitar like it was a part of his self like Mr. Kath..Just phenomenal.
So true, it's as though his guitar is an extension of his arm !! Amazing !
Jimi Hendrix said, "He's a better guitar player than I am!" Can't argue with that?
Jimi Hendrix once named "the best guitarist in the universe"
Blistering....
@@buggemon3607actually you can
If you were not raised in the 60's- 70's you missed out on the greatest music ever...:)
I was born in the wrong generation 😭
@Gisselle ST i dont blame you music these days are 🤢
@Gisselle ST well some
@Gisselle ST i was born 2007
I was born in 65 and so thankful for growing up with meaningful kick ass rock and roll music. What they call music today is a joke!!
Terry Kath playing rhythm, lead and singing at the same time. How many guitarists could do that? And at that level.
Great guitarist and vocalist.
Cerati
@@josarchila2 Not at Terry's level.....
That's pretty much all Neil young does is rhythm and vocals he does lead and vocals to . Srv and Hendrix are the masters at playing rhythm guitar and vocals 🤘
Steve Gaines Rory Gallagher
@@chrisberg2083 Steve Gaines is Rory Gallagher??
One band with 3 of the best vocalists of the 70’s. Sometimes lightening strikes.
To Carl below. I am not as old as you, but I am in the same ballpark age wise, 68. We had the best music and vehicles!!! These youngins today have NO idea.... We were blessed in so many ways!!!!
Yeah, no cell phone, video games, and no guns.
Terry Kath is one of the finest guitarists in history...
amen brother
Terry had that great voice, could shred if he wanted, bends, slides, wah pedal and tremolo master, but retained the flow and spirit of the song. I only wish the sound man would have allowed simply more volume, for his guitar!
You Sir are 100% correct!!
He could do everything well.
I should be happy when I hear Terry play - but I'm sad when I think of the magic we missed when we lost him...
Dudes the most underrated guitar player of his time...if not all time.
Mike Romigh you bet,and still loved!
Amen!
Absolutely!! Voted guitar god of 1970 as good as any of them Hendrix Eddie van Hanlon Clapton etc.
Jimy Hendrix said" I am good guitarist but this cat "Terry Kath" blows me away."
Underrated by whom? Madonna fans? Beyonce fans? J-Lo fans? Those opinions are worthless.
Terry had a voice on top of that guitar...truly gifted...early Chicago was incredible 👏
He was the complete package...guitar, vocals, writing. I was fortunate, I saw them in November 1977.
Terry Kath was one of top best guitarists ever in the early band of chicago
I tell my kid that nobody really cared what you looked like, it was all about the music. Terry Kath- one of the greatest R&R musicians 60s- until he tragically died. RIP Terry💔
This is 50 yrs old, and still better than ANY of the crap music they make today.
Amen to that. I don’t call it music today my friend. I think people didn’t know that real musicians actually played live. And with instruments!!!!’ Seriously
They were never quite the same without Terry Kaths guitar and vocals.😞
Damn straight!
Fuckin A..
Amen. Saw them freshman year of college in ‘69, Philadelphia, PA.
You will NEVER hear music 🎶 like this ever again! The S**T they come out with today is not music! "They don't write em like that anymore".
This song was originally done by the Spencer Davis band with Steve Winwood
So true! My daddy and I just had this conversation.
Terry Kath and a world class drummer....can't get any better than that. And....it's not a song, it's a party! These guys were phenomenal.
Peter Centara was a good bass player and great voice too.
@@cliffbrown2566 Not world class though. Just ask Entwistle, Squire or Pastorius.
They had soul, man..and with Pete Cetera on base with a voice like an angel and Lamm on the Keyboards, also a great singer & songwriter, along with the the three best horn players in the world of rock and roll!
@@pepeboy234 you might be stretching it a bit on the horn sections. They are outstanding yes but Tower of Power's horn section set the standard by which others are judged
W
Danny Seriphin on drums!!!!
These guys were on fire this night. They didn't just play the music, they WERE the music. Even at 6:38 when Terry took a second to tune a string, he took it in stride and made it part of the performance - didn't phase him. I've never seen another band like this, ever. They not only set the bar, they WERE the bar!
I had never noticed Terry tuning that string before you mentioned it - and I have viewed this video a number of times. Good catch!
Only other one I saw do that in stride, even drop his pick and make it part of the performance, to the point we're people even laughed with him about it was Hendrix.
And as everyone knows, Jimi thought Terry was great.
No secret two had a lot of respect for each other.
And sadly, they both left us way too early.
The best musicians in the world right hear guys.
Prince definitely comes to mind.
@@MASTERTHEMEME here
The original band was so very talented. Kath on guitar and vocals, Cetera on bass and vocals,Lamm on keyboards and vocals, Saraphine on drums and that amazing horn section of Loughnane,Pankow and Parazaider.
Yes it is
They were exceptional !
Not only is Terry Kath a guitar God, but I love his soulful voice. Awesome.
You got that right!!!!
He was Mr Hendrix favorite guitarist....
So there you go....
The great Jimi also liked Billy Gibbons, said that to Johnny Carson
It's like John Fogerty big powerful cousin...
In my humble opinion, it is the best version of " I'm a man" by the best American rock band.
Terry Kath played that guitar like he was trying to kill it. One of the best bands ever and quite possibly the best guitarist of all time.
Hard to believe that Terry Kath was self taught...just brilliant..!
He was a genius. They are almost always self taught.
He did take music lessons. But abandoned them because he thought they were too limiting. Lucky for us he did.
u can be taught an instrument,u can't learn soul!
@@hmackie6823 don't understand..?
@@hmackie6823 fortunately Chicago had plenty of soul.
52 years ago. Absolute brilliance then, even more so today. The likes of which you’ll never see again.
I've seen them 5 times!!! Saw the Beatles once too
Sadly - you could say that about many things today. ….
I'm a mere 57. Where are all the lights, lasers, Pyro, dancers? Oh, yeah. They actually played MUSIC!
i am a 14 year old teenager and Chicago is one my favs bands to listen to my dad who passed away 2 years in 2022 he got me into Chicago
He had great taste in music 🤙🏻🤙🏻
I’m sorry for your loss. Your dad killer taste in music.
You should join your high school band. And take it as far as you can. I'm a self taught guitarist, drummer , and I'm 66 years old. Make your Dad proud and learn some Chicago! Although I'm sure he already was. Start with drums. Get a snare drum. Anything! You will not regret it.
I am so lucky to have grown up in the 1970s. I'd give anything to go back, but at least I experienced it and have my memories. We shall never pass this way again.
Nothing fancy here, no light show, no Marshall stacks, no smoke and no fanfare.......just come out on the stage and PLAY! Chicago did it better than them ALL!!
And no brigade of dancers
I only saw them once at Wesley in Middletown Connecticut. My mind is still blown there were the greatest thing ever
Terry Kath is, was and will be the BEST live, studio, recorded and most talented guitarist of all time. Terry had to play both rhythm and lead and sing at the same time. Plus, he looked good. Post one band that is a band or could do it live. You are in the presence of greatness here.
Even now, when I'm in a good mood, which is rare amidst all the crap goin' on, I use Terry's saying. "Alright, let's kep it goin'!"
Terry Kath was so talented. Miss him so. Thank God for these old videos. When he passed the frenetic energy of Chicago left with him.
Plus he lead and drove the band!
so true...
@@michaelmoss6110 sort of like Carlos Santana?
Terry Kath was phenomenal. What an amazing guitarist and singer! I was so fortunate to see Chicago in their original form in the mid-1970’s.
Yes, I got to see them Live as well back then
Henry Arevalo, I also seen the full lineup at Hampton Roads Coliseum in Virginia in 1975 when I was in the Navy on my first ship the USS BLANDY DD-943. AMAZING SHOW!!!!!!!!!!!!
me to
Lucky
I saw them in Cincinnati Ohio in 1976. Phenomenal!!
Real music stopped shortly after that! Mid 80's maybe, today they're just goin through the motions!!
Back when music was pure & raw. Terry Kath was unreal. The only member of the group that didn't attend college or had professional lessons. He didn't even know how to write music. Self taught & the most underrated guitarists ever!
Fans of the original lineup of Chicago are familiar with the extraordinary playing of guitarist Terry Kath. The guitarist whom Jimi Hendrix said was "better than me" fused numerous styles and influences into a truly original style of playing. But while Kath's musical approach was innovative, his use of instruments and equipment was no less groundbreaking. In many ways, his use of various types of guitars, effects pedals and amplifiers was as original as his playing. - Terry Kath's Official Bio Pages
Written by Tim Wood
Jimi went on record after see CTA in an L.A. club. "That guitarist is better than me". His death is as questionable as Jimi's
amazing facts, kinda of a white hendrix
Most fabulous guitar player on the planet. took me forever to cover 25 or 6 to 4......
@@bluesdirt shame on you. Both men otherworldly. Rather Saintlike no less.
51 years ago and Terry Kath still one of the all time great guitarists!!
I couldn't agree more.
Jimi Hendrix said in an interview that Kath was the greatest guitarist
Without a doubt.....he was one of the best of all time
52 years later man is this timeless! More cowbell please Terry Kath was one of the greatest EVER
Terry was a special person, and he just knew how to rock the f*** out
No one today would be able to recreate this type of music and sound let alone the fun they had into making this. So much passion.
@@mmcn4933
Nope... you're wrong again there too... "copy catting" isn't the same as "Original Creation". I agree with you about the cover band they are great, but they don't play ORIGINAL music and sounds. When I said recreate... i meant original. No body today could originally recreate this kind of soulful sound and music.
maybe Nightwish .. but they would be about the only ones .......
Brass Transit, cover band
Check out Leonid & friends, a Russian group that recreates early Chicago perfectly.
@@boataxe4605
Yes I've seen their videos and they are great . . . but I'm talking about an original band and sound. That's not going to come out of a garage sounding and feeling like bands like Chicago any time soon. (or commodores, earth wind and fire, blood sweat and tears, etc; etc.)
Pure music.
Terry Kath was a beast!!!
King of the music world
awesome, correct spelling of beast.
I believe that somewhere in the world, there are people who feel the same emotions that I feel when I listen to masterpieces like this song.
I think I was in junior high when I got my first CTA album. This version came out when I was a senior in high school. The Chicago that followed (65 or to 4) was never as good as this,
Chicago was a beast of a rock band in the early days, led by one the all time greatest guitarist that ever lived Terry Kath
Amen!
its a shame we lost him so early, the music we would have been given to enjoy..... i can only imagine....wow....
It's nothing short of a damn shame that Terry Kath gets overlooked in "guitar greats" discussions. And what a soulful voice!
One of the best drum solos in rock.
He is not human incredible
The interplay between the band on percussion and the drum solo is phenomenal
Terry was amazing!
... and just the right amount of cowbell.
Roger Steinbrink yup, more cowbell! puts B.O.C to shame!
When I played drums, people used to ask me who I thought was the best drummer or if I could take lessons from anybody, whom. I always said Danny Seraphim of Chicago.
Great line. Cow bell, just right. Not too much, not too. Yeah, what you said. Wonderful dumb solo, well everyone included!
MORE COWBELL!!!!!!
@@lostintime8651 Jimmy Pankow is the AUTHORITY on COWBELL!
Terry's energy is what drove this band and he brought out the best in each and everyone one of the players.
Hendrix respected and feared him..
Hendrix remarked one time of how Terry Kath was a better guitarist than he was.
True...Hendrix said to one of the other band members..." Your guitarist is better than me."
The Stones are a great band. They could not have done this nearly as well as Terry and the boys, however.
He was right...
Terry and Danny are the best. I am so obsessed with watching their Tanglewood concert. Ĺove how the whole band just works together.
I agree Susan Tanglewood is a great concert I keep coming back to it all the time love Chicago the best
No wonder he was a fave of Hendrix, he slaughters that guitar!!
Yes, indeed!
Me too. One of the best recorded concerts ever. And theres alot.
Terry Kath ….the man, the myth, the legend!! He’s in my TOP FIVE all time guitarists. Ridiculous talent!!
Mine too........definitely a member of a very very exclusive club !!
Terry Kath, he was the MAN!
I feel he made the ORIG band! 70s
I bet hes up in heaven singing with Ray Charles. Made me smile thinking about it.
One of THE greatest rock guitar players ever
This was CHICAGO. The best horns and Kath. I was lucky enough to see the originals live 4 times.
best horns are Earth Wind and Fire but the BEST is TOWER OF POWER
Jealous
I was fortunate to see one of Terry's last concerts, November 1977 at the Cap Center.
Wow, you were very fortunate to see them live!!
My friends and I saw 15 out of 16 shows at Steel Pier (A.C.) one weekend. We used to hide in the men's room and came out when the next crowd came in. Fantastic!
Thumbs all the way UP for me. This is the Chicago I love and appreciate.
This is like a religious experience. Unbelievable. I can't stop watching this. The jam with the percussion instruments is phenomenon.
Thank you Chicago
My respect for Chicago went up exponentially.
Try the original from Spencer Davis Group, with an 18 year old Steve Winwood.
@Rudy Overlord Ahhh you speak the truth, nothing like a little Hole In My Shoe etc to start the day, or end it.
I fuckin hated Chicago, till I saw this. Didn't know this was their song.
..wait? Is it?
I thought Spencer Davis
How is Terry Kath not in the top five guitarists of all time? He blows away his contemporaries (Clapton, Page, etc) that music media have proclaimed the best ever.
you dont wanna know
He is one bad white boy
He is in "my" top ten, there is a lot of talent out there in the world.
I gave you a "thumb's up" for the question, & here's the best I can do for an answer... Have you ever been sitting around with your buddies, having a few beers, & for WHATEVER STUPID reason you get this sudden, instant impulse to do something absolutely asinine? Maybe.....umm, you "nudged" the back of your friend's chair, thinking he'd have to save it @ the last second, & spill his beer, (bong?) & everybody would have a good laff.... Ha Ha Ha...(& this entire "thought process" took you half of an instant?) anotherwords, not thought out @ ALL.... Buuuuut... INSTEAD of something "cool" happening, he falls straight backwards, CRACKS his head on the concrete floor, splits it open, & is bleeding profusely???? Maybe not this exact scenerio, but my point is, that Terry Kath had EVERY member of his band, his Family, & his friends, ALLLLL told him time & AGAIN, DON'T HANDLE ANY of your FIREARMS for ANY REASON when you've been DRINKING!!! BOOZE & GUNS DON'T MIX!!! Well, that's EXACTLY what he was (dis?)proving to one of his friends one evening when having (more than) a few beers, he picks up a semi-auto pistol, & to "Show" his friend how "safe" it was to BREAK the "Not when you're drunk" rule, he SEE'S that the clip is OUT, and in an INSTANT pulls it to his face (forgetting about the CHAMBERED round)....He expected to hear a "click" & get to laff it off, but instead, the LAST thing he ever heard was a LOUD BANG...... THAT'S why he hasn't made any "Best of all time" lists, lack of time on earth, & in CHICAGO, it was always a GROUP effort, "NO clear Stand-out in the group"... So, anyway, that's the story, & my take on the whole damnedable tragedy...
BECAUSE THEY ARE DEAF DUMB AND BLIND,KATH WAS A TSUNAMI OF INTENSITY
One of the greatest bands ever
They are that good wow
Now that's what I call LIVE music.
I saw Chicago 6 x so far ..humid July weather each year 80 yard's from the bank of the Ohio river fightin bat sized skeeters a plenty plenty.
@@user-gn8lc3uu4g They played on a pier in Venice Beach CA for free in the summer of '69. They were CTA and i'd never heard any of their music but it was a free concert on the beach. I was tripping on lsd and they were so f**kin' amazinlgy good it really blew my mind. All kinds of wild psychedelic cartoon stuff was flying out of the horns of the horn player guys. And Terry Kath's amp had crazy-ass stuff flying of it, too.
I like to think I'm an articulate person.
But there are no words for this.
I'ma shut up now and just listen.
you just said it perfectly; it just does not get any better than this
smartalek180 - you’re not the only one.
O yeah...Speechless
I was, not there. BOO but I grew up on the south side of Chicago , they were my friends. Except Robby! Bit of too much?Terry. sorry but he did it on purpose. Ask me why, A woman. And issues.
YOU GOT IT! WHAT A BAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Terry Kath was " The Man " unbelievably talented individual !
I live in the Berkshires...so glad you have the memories
Every time I have watched this I have said damn, what in the hell just happened? These guys were up there having the time of their lives. The Terry Kath years were the absolute best!
Definitely ! I have always liked "Chicago" but they were never better than when Terry Kath was in the band !
That volume control feedback Terry uses for the actual chords, besides Danny's absolutely one-of-a-kind drum performance on this song, and everybody's involvement in percussion, is also what makes their performance on this song, one-of-a-kind.
I swear every time I watch Terry I get more in complete"Aww" of him he is mind blowing, Damn it
Agreed!!
Why can't it be 1970 forever?
+Andrew Kling Because people get older and change and then they change things and it affects people and then more changes...it is a never ending cycle of life...for better or for worse...
I agree!!
+Andrew Kling I saw your comment and simply want to say... you got my vote! It was the best year of my life.
+Andrew Kling Cause I was 13 and that would suck for me. Give me 1975!
I was only seven at the time, but would still agree :)
Danny Seraphine also doesn’t get enough credit for how good a drummer he was.
The entire band looked like they were having a lot of fun.
I never fully appreciated Chicago before. I was too young to know about Kath and these early years, but pre-80s Chicago is a blast! Love it. Love Terry Kath's vibe, like a big rock n roll hug, and James Pankow's all-out enthusiasm, cheering on band mates. What a great time to be alive and in a band like Chicago!
Unreal how good they are
Has anybody in the history of the Internet ever remarked what an amazing bass player Peter Cetera is? The guy is a wunderkind!
Well, he was, kind of... I was covering his act easily at the time... Then he went " God, I'm so good" . Wanted to be the front man. Messed his act, lost all his creds. I don't miss him at all. Finally, just a thickhead. :-(
Peter Ceteras voice made Chicago a lot of money. After Terry died the guitar parts for him sucked. The two of them together made Chicago.
My problem with Cetera is his weak, sentimental love songs in the late '70's. But a guy had to make a living.
Heather Curran Hard to believe he's the same guy singing and playing bass here.
How many times can a guy fall in love?
This was before the choreographed acts, the smoke, stage sets, super lighting etc. You came out and made it happen. And if you could really kick out the jams, everybody got turned on. Chicago did it big, bold and ballsy. No other group like them.
+Jack Sprat Yes, and if you look at the line-up, you had Loughnane, Parazaider, and Pankow on the left, Lamm and Kath in the middle, and Seraphine and Cetera relegated to almost off stage. Their sound was wonderful, just shows to go that you don't need all the bells and whistles of today's concerts to compare with what we saw back in that day.
+74bshs I've noticed in a lot of these old Chicago videos that Cetera seemed to be isolated from the rest of the band.Maybe he preferred it that way,don't know...
Sadly, they went adult contemporary later on. This is the real Chicago.
It's so funny...This song is played in "Trust" (great TV show, by the way), and it is PERFECT in the scene...and I thought, "Yeah, I haven't heard that song since I was a kid." I was so shocked that it was Chicago...I guess they got crappy after they broke up and got back together? This type of stuff is amazing, and I never related any of it to Chicago....(child of the late 70s, 80s).
When singers really sang and raw talent was what you got, the good and the not so good. This version of Chicago had no problem laying it out.
Terry Kath was one of the greatest guitar players ever, such talent and so missed
Chicago was never the same without him
Such a great band! Those of us that were teens/adults in the 70's remember them fondly...Amazingly Chicago, as great as they are, were just one of the hundreds of great bands of the era, Deep Purple, ELO, Floyd, Kansas, YES, Fog Hat, Zeppelin, ad infinitum.... I Love that youtube has so many live performances and Leonid and Friends rekindled my love and expanded my understanding of who Chicago were...Never again will that era return, I fear...~ a tear~
No argument from me spot on
Shit, damn, howdy, that is about the most kick-ass rock and roll I do believe I've ever heard.
hell yeah !!!!! tell yer friends!!!
HELL YES
So right. Took a while before they were inducted into RRHOF. Should have been inducted the minute they became eligible.
You know it Terry Kath and the boys wow
What an unbelievable band at the top of their game! Every single one of them! Danny is just killing it on the drums!
He is a great drummer but the truth is he is the only weak link in this concert. He is dragging pretty bad & is why Kath & Pankow are in his face. He must've taken a quaalude or something before this concert.
@David Marskell Didn't know that.
Yeah! Terry Kath is the underrated guitarist of all-time, but Danny Seraphine is definitely the underrated drummer, especially by his OWN BAND! They kicked him out because (in their words) “he couldn’t figure out where ONE was!”
He was really kicked out because he took an interest in their contracts.
He was on a radio show I was producing, and when the host asked who was responsible for getting rid of him, he said “I’ll just give you the initials: RL.”
I always had a feeling...
There were certainly no slouches in Chicago.
@@lynnturman8157 Not really. This has got to be a bootleg recording (not a bad one), so you're not getting proper desk mix, AND, Danny lost his bass drum part way through the song, but carried on very well regardless. I like it because it made it different.
I've listened to this 40,000 times.
Only 40,000 times?
MORE COWBELL!!!!!!
One of the Most Important songs of the Seventies!
Besides being a tremendous guitar player Terry was a great singer too !!
Would have been up there with Lennon, Daultrey, Rodgers, Bowie
larreey Great voice and muy malo...A real mala culo
Yah...I was just thinking the same thing....totally appreciating his voice.....in this video...............damn sam.
Absolutely!!!
His nickname was the white Ray Charles
While today's music is complete garbage, this is beyond sublime. I was one month old when this was filmed; it gets better each time I tune in. Focus in on what each musician has to offer.
They had some really good live jams, excellent!
+Kevin O'Neill I was 6 1/2 years old...LOVE Chicago!
me 2 & I play this video every chance I get. RIP Terry In wish u wouldve been more careful :-(
I was almost 7 then and I remember hearing this song,but Chicago's version was my 1st version,I was too young to remember Spencer Davis's version.
i was 18 days old
I'd forgotten there was a time when Peter Cetera could rock.
The original SUPER Group !!
OMG, this just freaked me out. I WAS AT THIS CONCERT! I was 12 years old and went to camp Mohawk in the Berkshires. They took the entire camp to Tanglewood once a summer for a concert. John Sabastian was the other act on this ticket.
The year before, (1969) I saw The Who, BB King and Jefferson Airplane there. Wow, what memories.
You were the luckiest 12 yr old alive..
Lucky bastard 😉
AMEN to THOSE camp leaders...WAY F ING COOL!!!
Terry Kath, the Guitarist that Jimmy Hendrix said was the best he had ever seen.
He was kiddin
San Diego, America’s finest City! I’m from there. 😁
@@califmuslim What part? I'm in San Carlos.
MeanGeneSanDiego, I’ve lived in many different places in San Diego. I retired a few years ago and moved to Sacramento though. Didn’t live in the North section but lived in Mission Beach, Clairemont, University City, Kearny Mesa, North Park, and other places. Loved SD but it’s so expensive to live there nowadays.
@@califmuslim I lived in Clairemont, but mostly in the College Area and El Cajon. I'm considering going to Arizona, 'cuz I can buy a house there for about half the price of my condo here, along with about 1/10th the Taxes and NO HOA!!! (Gawd, I HATE HOAs!!!!) P.s. I used to have a grey tiger/tabby too...actually several...My last one was named Ruggitta...
WOW!!WEE!!WOW!WOW! This was over 50 years ago!! Still one of the greatest live performances ever!!
is anyone out there who attended this concert?
You witnessed some incredible history!
I'm so jealous!
Such a hot band back then. Terry could write, arrange, and was the best guitarist of his day. He was a killer guitar player. They still haven't been able to replace him.
This shows you just good Terry Kath really is. Such an underrated player.
CHICAGO is great, Love Karth on the guitar🎸🔥❤🎶
Jan Akkerman was also an underrated guitarist.
Just WOW. Never again in history will that happen ! We miss you Chicago from that era..😢
Kath and their mind-blowing sound is what made Jimi Hendrix the biggest CTA fan EVER. In an interview shortly before his death he was asked what the future held for him musically Hendrix replied the sound of CTA!Kath Billy Gibbons Rory Gallagher were the 3 guitarists Hendrix mentioned when asked about his favorite. This performance is absolutely mind-blowing. The audiences reaction and applause tells it all.
