Years later, still waiting for someone to tell me Kath was not the first shredder? Would love someone to show me otherwise. No finger tapping, just straight up playing. No wonder why Hendrix called Kath as the greatest guitarist. RIP Kath!
I would say Johnny Guitar Watsons song Space Guitar. It was back in the 50s and about the first real shred. It was before anything else. Not as good as Kath by any measure but for firsts he started it. He was rocknroll before it even had a name.
I'm 65 , I'll be 66 in December and I'm a guitar player and I've talk about Terry Kath being the most underrated guitar player of all time !!! Still listening to him today. Shouting out from Tulsa Oklahoma !!!
Terry’s talent transcends what the highest musical ability looks like. He rarely looks down at his instrument while hitting every note with blazing precision. I am convinced that no matter how hard you work, or how much practice, very few musicians on earth will ever come close to this level of expertise, and do it with soul. This is a God given talent on display. There is no other explanation.
Rolling Stones Magazine put out there usual top 250 guitars players of all time. No Terry Kath, No Alex Lifesone. lol Come to think about it, I am not even sure they had Stevie in there list, but I was drunk while listening to it.,
Like pretty much everyone who came to see the band perform, Hendrix was mesmerised by Kath's guitar playing, going so far as to claim that he thought the Chicago guitarist played six strings better than he did, naming Kath the “best guitarist in the universe”
They absolutely were. And these guys were talented musicians. Terry was just on fire during this entire show. It's a good thing this song ended when it did, as Danny Seraphine's arms had to be ready to fall off. I've probably watched this clip a hundred times.
The fact that his vocals are a 12 out of 10 and his guitar playing is a 13 out of 10 is so overpowered. This guy is the equivalent of like 5 people in one. Terry Kath was a real one.
Check it out at the 5:00 mark. Even his own bandmates who played with him for years and get up on stage with him every night and look, even they're blown away by his prowess. I know the guys from Chicago love to tell the story about how Jimi Hendrix told them on several different occasions that Terry was better than him. Jimi was an extremely competitive player and talent and while he often would make self deprecating comments like that appearing humble or authentic, he never told Clapton that. Or Jeff Beck. Or any of the dozens of great American players of the time. I believe he meant it and he was right from a pure players perspective Kath was just outstanding as you see in this creative finger melting solo. Terry was also part of that group of players who could play a song live and play the solo differently yet always finish the song in about the same amount of time. Hendrix did it, Jimmy Page did it, Carlos Santana did it and Terry did it. It's not an easy thing to do unless you've mastered the guitar. RIP Terry Kath.
@@annawarner1078 Terry was playing with a gun, a 9mm semi-auto pistol, at a party. Somebody warned him to be careful with the gun, and he ejected the magazine, pointed the gun at his head, and pulled the trigger. Unfortunately, as any one with any knowledge of guns will tell you, if a semi-auto has a round in the chamber, it can fire even with the magazine ejected. This gun had a round in the chamber, and Terry died instantly, only about a week before his 32nd birthday. A senseless, needless, tragic death, just as an overdose would have been. The thing is, I've read that he enjoyed target shooting, so one might think he would have followed the first, common-sense rule of gun safety: Every gun is loaded, always, and should be treated that way. However, as is painfully clear, intoxicants and guns are a very, very bad mix.
We lost one of the best as seriously Jimi Hendrix said Terry was one of the best guitarists out there that he knew. I was at a good friend's house when it came over on the radio. I will never forget that news! In my opinion Chicago was never the same.
This night, this performance was off the chain….they captured a performer at his pinnacle…..oustounding chops…..could he have been better on any given night? Jaw dropping mastery
Same here. Heard this song my whole life (born early 70s) in the standard radio version which unfortunately doesn't really give much prominence to the solo! If the radio track had featured the guitar solo more I probably would have spent my while life thinking of Kath in the same breath as Hendrix and several others. Instead here I am in middle age just waking up to the fact. Halfway through this video I noticed that my Wi-Fi had cut out and I was now watching on 5G cellular data which would probably bump my monthly bill up by ten bucks. I didn't care, I kept watching. A first view of this was too good to interrupt. 🎶✨
I love how it starts off as this quiet guitar line and just explodes as all the guys join in.. The guys really had class in those days.
11 หลายเดือนก่อน +2
That buildup was to put pressure on Seraphine to get his azz in gear. This wasn't the first song of the concert and NOW he's having to adjust his cymbal stand? Geez....
True story. In an interview with Peter Cetera back in the day, he was asked if he read Rolling Stone. He said, (paraphrasing,) "Yeah, usually when I'm taking a shit."
Terry Kath is one of these musicians that make a solid object they're holding (a guitar 🎸) appear malleable and wavy when they play. He literally bends music 🎶
I love how Terry Kath looks like he is doing some sort of robot dance at one point. Dude was a straight magician. I could watch this video 10 times a day. And I do sometimes.
The fact I can honestly say THERE WOULD NEVER BE ANOTHER TERRY KATH with complete confidence is the reason watching him today I. 2025 is a movie every time. In my 100,344 watching this video
Every time I see TK jamming like this, I think to the point where I see his mind talking to the guitar, "GIMME THAT NOTE!!!". He seems to pry every note out and make it do exactly what he's telling it to!!! Fukkn' fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One of the greatest ever... Terry Kath...! When Jimi says he's a better guitarist than I am, that will get your attention....! Made me proud to be from Chicago and lived through this great era....... Great band..
I know a lot of people that don't like Chicago. I just don't understand. I think they're great and this is without a doubt my favorite song. Peter's voice is off the charts and Kath drives that song to its ultimate height. 👏 👏 👏
Can you just imagine the jamming going on in heaven?? Kath, Hendrix, Rhodes(sp?), Van Halen, Beck, Richrath, Montrose, Prince and I know I’m leaving out some greats. Mind boggling
Wow and OMG...I'm almost 67, love SRV, Led Zeppelin, The Stones, Uncle Ted, Frampton, and my all time fav, Pink Floyd, but I've never seen this guy before tonight. I have always been aware of Chicago, but holy crap...How did I not know about this guy???? I must now go and find more of this!! Really smoked that Terry.
Hi Mike, I'm just a couple years younger than you, but I was fortunate enough to discover Chicago in my teens. I at one time had all of their albums on vinyl! (That's more than 20 albums...) They were generous so they included free posters in their albums which were hanging on the walls of my teen bedroom. Their first three albums were double records... Chicago 4 was a 4 record set(!) [Chicago IV: Live at Carnegie Hall] That is a disc-per-album record that has never been beat or even approached... I have seen them live in concert over 20 times back in the day. They are one of those bands that is so good in the studio that they "Could not possibly be better in concert live..." (until you go see them and realize, WHOA!, they really are better live!!) Unbelievable! Me and my friends we're also fans of the same hard rockers you mentioned (among others,) but I always had to go see Chicago when they came to town even when my friends said "What do you want to go see them for?" If they came along they found out, if they didn't, they didn't know what they were missing. I have seen many,many top bands live in my life, but few have ever matched the technical precision and artistic expression of Chicago live in concert. At my age I don't even listen to music that much anymore, my mind is on other things. But, oh what memories... God Bless You and yours this holiday season, Mike!
@@kevinquinn1993 Thank you Kevin, and Gold bless you and those in your world. Christmas was wonderful, good food, good family - and football! And a very nice 6 PM service at our little church. I like to watch what others are watching, or TH-cam reaction videos. I find some good music that way, including Kath, what a treat!
Best concert ever big surf Tempe az mid 70s they played and played after storm canceled outdoor show they came out and played in front of 50 of us maybe at beginning everyone had left venue Terry Kath was right in front of me. Everything was a long jam Fan Flippin Tastic!
I am beyond excited to see Chicago, for the first time, along with my very favorite band, EWF!!!! And yes, this guitar solo!!! So sad he passed too soon.
On that Tour they played at Yale Bowl. I will never forget that concert, they were ALL on fire that night. We all thought our wonderful type of music would never end !
My 31year old daughter loves classic rock. When she read the story of Terry's death she was just stunned. She was really moved with how tragic it was, and what a talented man he was. I agree totally. RIP Terry. You're in rock n roll heaven with a hell of a band now. Miss you! 😢🎸🕯💔
Terry Kath F'n RULES !!!!! 🎸🎸🎸🎸 It is so sad he screwed up with the drugs and guns. Damnit. We need guys like him around now. Especially a band like Chicago.
Terry Kath was an absolute monster!! Even Jimi Hendrix was impressed! He said Kath was one of his favorite guitar players and that He( Kath) was actually a better guitar player than himself. Talk about high praise!
Back when bands were raw. No extravagant light shows or outlandish costumes, just great live music. Love the extended lead in whilst drummer got his kit sorted. Real musos. 😀👍🏻
I highly recommend watching his daughter Michelle Kath Sinclair's documentary The Terry Kath Experience! You'll learn so much more about this amazing man!
Dalton, this is the one that I was talking about. I learned a lot and it was heartwarming to see her recover that famous guitar with the stickers all over it
Love peter... what a vocal talent...i was a kid when Chicago got air play and i knew they sounded good but from a kids perspective 😂 as a mature man i can truly understand and comprehend their collective talent... what a tight f*****g group of dudes 😂👍
Ya know...I've heard the quote for years ...today I understand it. When asked who he thought was the best guitarist Jimi said "Terry Kath is the best guitarist in the universe." 🌹🌹🌹
I have never seen anything like this in my life! Terry Kath is blowing up that guitar! Damn. I've watched this a million times and it BLOWS me away every time. We miss you so much Terry. 💙💙💙
Terry Kath is far and away the most underrated guitarist of all-time…
Along with Rory Gallagher, who's literally known as "the greatest guitarist you've never heard of"
Let's not forget Roy Buchanan.
Jimi Hendrix called him the best living guitarist
Jimmy Hendrix said he was better then him. Nuff said
@@may_be_a_ghost true
Years later, still waiting for someone to tell me Kath was not the first shredder? Would love someone to show me otherwise. No finger tapping, just straight up playing. No wonder why Hendrix called Kath as the greatest guitarist. RIP Kath!
Vai said it, he was raw, straight to the Amp minus maybe a Wa pedal
@@arny338and right after him came Jan Ackerman
Jimi said he was ‘the greatest’…
What more proof do we need?!
I would say Johnny Guitar Watsons song Space Guitar. It was back in the 50s and about the first real shred. It was before anything else. Not as good as Kath by any measure but for firsts he started it. He was rocknroll before it even had a name.
Terry attacked the guitar. Aggressive, yet soulful. He was ahead of his time
I’m 65 and am in awe of Terry Kath. Anyone else? It never gets old.
I'm 73, same-same. One of the few guitarists that Hendrix admired.
I'm 65 , I'll be 66 in December and I'm a guitar player and I've talk about Terry Kath being the most underrated guitar player of all time !!! Still listening to him today. Shouting out from Tulsa Oklahoma !!!
@@hughbarnardthat's right.
Amen & amen. Dude was otherworldly. Chicago is far and away the best American rock band of all time. Fight me. 💪🏻
I'm 73 and all I say is Good Gawd and Googly Moogly. Sang lead vocals on 'Loneliness is Just a Word', too.
One of the most epic, scorching guitar solos ever played!!
Absolutely.
Omg…..gives me chills every time!!!! That solo….
Wondering
Fact
Amazing !!!!!
Terry’s talent transcends what the highest musical ability looks like.
He rarely looks down at his instrument while hitting every note with blazing precision. I am convinced that no matter how hard you work, or how much practice, very few musicians on earth will ever come close to this level of expertise, and do it with soul. This is a God given talent on display. There is no other explanation.
I agree, my brother. Best wishes to you.
Indeed!
Rafe Chiles did
Rolling Stones Magazine put out there usual top 250 guitars players of all time. No Terry Kath, No Alex Lifesone. lol Come to think about it, I am not even sure they had Stevie in there list, but I was drunk while listening to it.,
There are many other explanations than God! But thanks for the laugh
They caught lightning in a bottle….wow…can’t stop watching this!
I send this vid to everyone and they get tired of me talking about it.
@@jeffdavisson2117 Me too.....my wife gets tired of hearing it......Peter Cetera is locked in too.....severely overlooked bassist!
Amazing right ??
that's a pure heart and passion
Like pretty much everyone who came to see the band perform, Hendrix was mesmerised by Kath's guitar playing, going so far as to claim that he thought the Chicago guitarist played six strings better than he did, naming Kath the “best guitarist in the universe”
agree !
Terry Kath was the best frontman ever. Lead, rhythm, lead vocals, backup. He was the total package.
Perhaps the best, but sadly not as famous as some.
Kath was a witch on that guitar. Damn.
SO AWESOMETASTIC!!!!
Bass too
Better than Freddie Mercury, Phil Collins or Bono? I don't so! And I could name more like them.
Whole band is looking at him like “fuck”
They absolutely were. And these guys were talented musicians. Terry was just on fire during this entire show. It's a good thing this song ended when it did, as Danny Seraphine's arms had to be ready to fall off. I've probably watched this clip a hundred times.

I just adore how the horn section is looking at him in awe
Yes they just look amazed. No one can keep up.
And steps back to allow the rest their part. No arrogance.
Yes!! There like Damn Terry is killing it!!
@@jimmyrooker6398and bygawd he was
I also noticed that cool huh
Never heard of Terry Kath. Mind blown 🤯
His too, sadly
I was fortunate to see him play 8 times. Words can't describe it.
The fact that his vocals are a 12 out of 10 and his guitar playing is a 13 out of 10 is so overpowered. This guy is the equivalent of like 5 people in one. Terry Kath was a real one.

"The best guitarist in the universe" -Jimi Hendrix
IHO, that was.
Criminally underrated!
He was a Machine 😂
Is that an exact quote?
This song is so about Coca-Cola
I'm 66, never gave Chicago the credit I now know they deserved. Kath is a monster.
😮 me too
45 years ago today that Terry left us. Where did those years go? He was simply incredible; often imitated, never equaled.
Imitated never duplicated
😢
What did happen? Did he overdose?

Truly a very tragic end for Terry. Wish it weren't so.
Let's not forget to give Peter Cetera credit for an other-worldly vocal interpretation
Was that Peter or his brother Et?
anybody can sing. playing guitar requires much more talent.
Peter is awesome and sounds almost exactly like the studio record performance.
@@The93ssfd That's one of the stupidest things I've ever read.
Peter's performance in this is quite interesting indeed, I can't stop watching it, I play it over and over!!:-)

Totally agree. Have you seen this one...th-cam.com/video/6SFNW5F8K9Y/w-d-xo.html

Now that you mention it 😂😂
Someone commented that something in the drum stand had fallen over. They had to fix it.
Raw unfiltered spontaneous rock and roll explosion.
He DID NOT make Rolling Stones list of 250 Greatest guitarists.
Rolling Stone. You answered your own (unasked) question.
Rolling Stone hasnt been relevant since Tina Turner made the cover lol
True story. In an interview with Peter Cetera back in the day, he was asked if he read Rolling Stone. He said, (paraphrasing,) "Yeah, usually when I'm taking a shit."
The lists of Rolling Stone are a joke.
What is rolling stones?
Terry Kath is one of these musicians that make a solid object they're holding (a guitar 🎸) appear malleable and wavy when they play.
He literally bends music 🎶
I was thinking just that.
It reminds me of Zack playing the kitty guitar.
He bends minds still to date.
Carlos santana did the same thing at Woodstock
He beat the notes to submit to his very will!!!
Come on when Jimi Hendrix names you guitarist of this Universe well, I rest my case! R.I.P. Always missed,never forgotten
One of THE best driving songs ever!
Terry Kath is still amazing in 2024. Glad videos like this one exist! Thank you, @Terry Kath Spotlight
A True Solo by Terry. He knew the band was behind him. Didn't need to look back! ..........
I know. They were all so in-synch and completely tuned into each other. They're almost like an old couple that has been married for 50+ years. 😁
Terry Kath, the most underrated guitarist on earth. He's pure genius.
I love how Terry Kath looks like he is doing some sort of robot dance at one point. Dude was a straight magician. I could watch this video 10 times a day. And I do sometimes.
Ten times a day at least since it was released
I agree my man. I love Jimi but this guy was different and so so great!
Holy dogshit! I had no idea Terry Kath was so talented. My god, that solo is unbelievable. He doesn’t even look at his guitar. Wow!!!!
I almost cry listening to Terry Kath. He is literally one with the Guitar.
True. It's as if the guitar has melted into him.
I agree…it’s a special union of soul and otherworldly beauty like being transported to God. May he be at peace🙏

The original CHICAGO.
Terry just unlocked God mode with this solo............unreal !!

The band Chicago had by far it's best years with Terry Kath.
Terry Kath could light an electric guitar on fire without the lighter fluid.
And Jimi Hendrix would agree as called Terry Kath "The Best Guitarist In The Universe".
Kath was the fire.
I particularly enjoyed watching the trombone player using his instrument as an air guitar.
🤘
@@OScaleAmtrak Everyone says that about their favourite
Terry Kath is one of very few musicians who get The Gift….a talent given by the Universe, or God, to make the rest of us believe.
I'm 74 listen to them in the 70s did not realize how good Terry was
Lead guitarist Tery Kath is otherworldly. My jaw is on the FLOOR.
I idolized Terry Kath. I think I still want to be him.
Can you just imagine the jamming going on in heaven?? Kath, Hendrix, Rhodes(sp?), Van Halen, Beck, Richrath, Montrose, Prince and I know I’m leaving out some greats. Mind boggling
Santana!
Mick Ronson " helloo"....
SRV
Rory Gallagher!
Hendrix, said after hearing Kath play in a club "he is the greatest guitar player"!
I agree with some of the Articles what Jimmy Hendrix said about him. Amazing!
Hendrix....dubbed him...better than himself!
IHMO, sorry Jimi, it's not even close.
The first guitar shredder? 53 fucking years ago!
Why doesn't anyone respond with a yes or no. Am I right or wrong?
No reason, but I stand by my statement, Kath was the first shredder ever, until someone can prove it wrong. RIP Kath
He was recognized by Hendrix and that is enough.
I’m rarely blown away by any new-to-me music. But this? I’m blown away.
The loss of Terry Kath was a huge blow to Rock n Roll music. What a friggin talent. Thanks Terry for all that great music. 🙏
"A huge blow," indeed. Pardon the pun.
Really when you listen to it the whole band is killing it

Top 3 of all time great guitar pieces. When Jimi Hendrix tells you that your the greatest guitar player ever,that’s meaningful
Terry and Jimi are jamming together in heaven forever
My 31year old daughter loves classic rock. When she read the story of Terry's death she was just stunned. She was really moved with how tragic it was, and what a talented man he was. I agree totally. RIP Terry. You're in rock n roll heaven with a hell of a band now. Miss you! 😢🎸🕯💔
The best of the best
I get chills over this. The man was absolutely off the hook great! He is one with the guitar and words can't describe how great this is.
50 years in the future, someone is going to listen to this and his guitar playing is going to speak to their subconscious.
Saw a short and had to find the full version 😂
"Terry Kath is the BEST Guitarist in the Universe!"🏆🥇🎸🐐
- Jimi Hendrix
My single most favorite performance of theirs. Terry Kath was absolutely incredible.
Peter Cetera was flat out outclassed on his bass on this performance.......
The saddest loss in rock history! Rock on Terry wherever you may be-Jimi thought you were amazing (or words to that effect).
Your Jimi Hendrix died at 27, also Jim Morrison, and Kurt Cobain, and more recently Amy Winehouse.
Mad-king-of-fools Pariah-of-the-universe Thank you very much for the info. Interesting
He may have said that Billy Gibbons was his favorite player, but he truly loved Terry Kath
His death was beyond senseless!
The band were never the same after and then David foster ruined them
Best guitar solo ever!
One of best guitar solos ever
I absolutely agree I've lost count of the number of times I've watched it
Terry Kath F'n RULES !!!!! 🎸🎸🎸🎸
It is so sad he screwed up with the drugs and guns. Damnit. We need guys like him around now. Especially a band like Chicago.
I believe it was accidental...
Yes, a very stupid mistake. I get almost agree thinking about it because it's so friggin ridiculous.
I’m here after watching “We Have A Ghost.” So cool that Terry Kath is mentioned in the movie!
Is that a movie or a series on netflix? i would like to check it out.
Thanks
Wow. I'm 66 and still seeing new stuff from him. Wow. Just WOW.
One of the greatest ever. Guitarest and Singer. RIP

Have been playing the guitar for decades now. I’m in awe of those how can turn it into an absolute stream of their conscience. They can melt into it.
Yes, he is one with his guitar.
Yes he did
I return to this video all the time. I've never seen anyone play a guitar that well. The inventor of Fender would be saying, "my guitar can do that?"
i am infaturated with Terry's work and memory
I highly recommend watching his daughter Michelle Kath Sinclair's documentary The Terry Kath Experience! You'll learn so much more about this amazing man!

I just watched "The Terry Kath Experience." I will re-watch it soon. It was an amazing documentary about Terry Kath.
YES, it is incredible. So well done.
You found it! Best live performance ever recorded.
Love peter... what a vocal talent...i was a kid when Chicago got air play and i knew they sounded good but from a kids perspective 😂 as a mature man i can truly understand and comprehend their collective talent... what a tight f*****g group of dudes 😂👍
good lord yes yes yes
Nobody can touch Terry Kath.
😊. I'm so grateful he gave us that. R. I P. Terry
I love how his band mates react when Terry starts in with his solo. You can see he blew them away too. Rock n Roll will never die. 💪🛐🩰🦢
This man was one of Hendrix’s biggest influences, no secret why. Truly jaw dropping stuff
Gets better with time
My laptop melted just as Kath started his solo.
As of right now, I'm 1 minute in and am on my fourth computer because this song is pure fucking fire!
My GOD Kath is so hot! Tragically underrated, one of the best if not THE best of his era. You have been sorely missed.
The greatest guitar solo ever caught on film Never Forget The Great Terry Kath🎸
Ya know...I've heard the quote for years ...today I understand it.
When asked who he thought was the best guitarist Jimi said "Terry Kath is the best guitarist in the universe."
🌹🌹🌹
It's amazing that Jimi would praise another guitarist.
Holy crap, I’ve heard this song hundreds of times but not live and not on video! This is now one of my favorite guitar solos of all time lov it
This is the Chicago we needed more of, RIP Terry
I have never seen anything like this in my life! Terry Kath is blowing up that guitar! Damn. I've watched this a million times and it BLOWS me away every time. We miss you so much Terry. 💙💙💙
I just had a custom-made T shirt made. It says, " I may be old but at least I got to see Terry Kath."
Holy fuck that man can play guitarrrrr like no other bless that man's soul !
Such a blistering solo! Terry was a monster!
