"Made the guitar start laughing at us" I never heard it put that way, but he's right!! That's exactly what Terry Kath did in that solo. Great reaction!
His name is Terry Kath, and people need to put some respect on his name! Chicago's debut album Chicago Transit Authority is full of amazing songs! From Beginnings, questions 67 & 68, I'm a man, Poem 58, free from guitar (this is Terry on acid or something cuz it's crazy lol), south California purples. It's an amazing album!
This song is pretty special to me. My Dad ( who I rarely saw growing up) picked me up one day. I was probably 12 years old. He pulls out this 45 and says "You like this band?" and it was this song. Idk why he gave it to me and Idc. Just the fact that he thought of me, long enough to get it and give it to me was good enough for me. He died when I was 17 years old. So here's 🍻 to my Dad. 💕💕💕
Terry Kath absolutely going off. One of the greatest to ever pick up a guitar, and hardly anyone these days ever even heard of him. Put it this way: Jimi Hendrix called him the best in the universe!
“Saturday In The Park” “Colour My World” “Wishing You Were Here” (Al Jardine, Carl Wilson and Dennis Wilson of The Beach Boys did the backing vocals on this tune.) “Only The Beginning” “If You Leave Me Now” “Just You and Me” “Feelin’ Stronger Every Day” “I’m A Man” Fun fact (for only me probably): Chicago VII was the album I had on my record player when my house burned down in 1977.
I was watching a documentary where someone told a story about Jimi walking up on the side of the stage as Terry was playing, and he said something like "Man, I wish I could play like him".
What amazing song. Has it all. One of the best songs of all time in my opinion. And wow can he play that guitar like crazy good 👍😊. Like great. Really great.
I’m A Man from this same concert live at Tanglewood, has got to be next, Jimi Hendrix once said Terry Kath was the best guitarist he had heard, Terry left us way to soon in the prime of his life , Chicago pretty much went to soft rock and love songs after his death but had success RIP Terry Kath
Chicago has so many really great hits it's ridiculous. They are guaranteed to get your feet moving. You may also like... feeling stronger everyday.. Does anybody really know what time it is... and....Saturday in the Park
My son is 28 nowand bought a ticket up front to last tour in Chicago and went alone so he could bring in all their masterpieces. He appreciated music and not the good time with friends more
This is what true artistry looks like in an electric guitar solo... There have been many fine guitarists over the years but only a relative handful of humans can create something this complex and masterful on the instrument live, with such force and grit and expression that it just grabs you and carries you away for the whole trip.
Rest assured, my internet friend, anything that any of us were ever taught that says only [insert skin color here] people can do something is 100% wrong.
I went to their concert about 5 years ago, and this song was so loud I had to scream to sing along, and I still couldn't be heard on my phone recording. I waited through the entire show to hear this, and it was the finale. So worth the wait!
I was born in 71 and my dad was a Sax player who played in bands like this. So I grew up to this stuff. And I love watching young cats react to it. Dope, ain't it?
Must hear "Hard to Say I'm Sorry". The singer is Peter Cetera. He also did "Glory of Love" for the original Karate Kid II movie during his solo career.

Now, you threading on the ELITES of the 70s!! Along with Earth, Wind, & Fire, The Eagles, Doobie Brothers...Chicago is a BAD ASS band!! They still kickin' today!! Many of their jams, including this, played by high school and college marching bands!!!!
Omg this is the greatest rendition of this song I have ever heard. Three cheers to whomever requested this one. Awesome! Always loved the hell out of this song! ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️
Perhaps the most amazing part of the entire original video is, what how closely everyone else in the band watches Terry solo...they’ve been listening to him play for years by this point, but they still know that they don’t know what he’s capable of pulling off
I had a best friend in High School and we would have sleep overs, we would fall asleep to Chicagos greatest hits cd on repeat.. I just lost my Mom on the 17th and Chicago was one of her favorites. Thanks for this.
Chicago is one of those bands that has so many hits it's hard to know where to start. Really, pretty much anything you can find would likely be worth it. I'd suggest searching Chicago Greatest Hits and start with the first song and work your way down. Thanks for reacting to this!
CONGRATULATIONS! Best reaction EVER. This song is about when the band took acid late at nite when they had to be in the studio, finishing this (as then unnamed song). Time dragged; someone asked the (very precise minded) recording engineer what the time was. He looked up and said "It's 25 or (2)6 to 4. The guitarist you are watching shred that Fender Strat is Terry Kath, Jimi Hendrix's favorite guitarist. You rock dude, and music has no colour except all of them, like a rainbow. Have a cool Yule my sweet dude. Love from Lockdown East Coast of England. x BTW i was like No.600!
These guys are so awesome that they started play before they equipment was even set up yet, you must go down this rabbit hole, they have so many great songs just like this one, you won't be disappointed 😉 🤟
50 years ago, I was listening to this song everyday at lunch hour when I was a freshman. An upperclassman would blast it down the hallways on his boom box. Good times!
I heard an apocryphal story that said when Jimi Hendrix was asked what it's like to be the best guitarist in the world, Jimi said, "I don't know, ask Terry Kath." Don't know if it's true, but Terry Kath was so talented, all around.
I think Hendrix truly loved him but I've heard that exact quote applied to Clapton/Prince and Clapton/Halen so that part probably isn't true. Or this is the real quote that started the "meme" idk
Do Chicago "feeling stronger everyday" a very inspirational song he made after his father passed away. He was devastated, but knew his dad would want him to keep it going. Guaranteed to give pickle skin.
Anything by Chicago is outstanding. Anything! I got to see them in concert several times over the years. Each show was different, and each was amazing. You can’t go wrong with them. Great reaction!
Unfortunately when Terry Kath died, so did Chicago. The rock and roll was gone and sappy AM pop music replaced it. At least you listened to the absolute best version of this song.
@@themisianos absolutely, look at them now, everyone hates Cetera, and visa versa. Its crazy to think as dysfunctional as they were, they made so much music.
This song has always been amazing, from the bassline to the horns to the ASTOUNDING guitar solo, but I think one of the things I love most about it is the idea of staying up late at night, struggling to write a song, just bashing your head against a wall and coming up with nothing and then, just after three thirty in the morning saying "fuck it I'll write about writer's block" and ending up with 25-or-6 to 4.
Chicago peaked at the start. They were fantastic recorded, fantastic live. They slowly moved into lounge music, but you gotta be happy for the early great, great masterpieces. I mean, funkadelical!
I Had a big smile when I seen you were doing tanglewood version of this song You got to see Terry Kath at his best. List keeps growing bigger and bigger lol. reference of 25 or 6 to 4 is when keyboard player looked up at the clock. Tragic story of Terry , removed the clip but forgot about the one in the chamber and pulled the trigger. RIP Terry
25 or 26 minutes until 4 am... sitting prostate on the floor, waiting for words to come to finish the song he was writing at that time. best guitar solo is on the album veersion. this one is great as well. chicago im a man... album version or live version... epic
I've been waiting on this one. I've mentioned my late brother and how he loved your Bohemian Rhapsody reaction. Well, my brother's nickname was CHICAGO because he LOVED this band so VERY, VERY Much!!!! I wish he was here to see this review. They're my favorite band also and they're still out there doing their thing for the last 50 plus years!! Loved It!! Thanks!!! 💕
All of Chicago's musicians were top drawer. Terry Kath played lead and rythm guitar. Kath, Cetera (bassist) and Lamb were the lead vocalists. Peter Cetera sang lead on this. Kath era Chicago was extremely versatile drawing from funk jazz, blues and rock.
Early Chicago just shreds expectations. After Terry Kath's death, they had to reinvent themselves, but still make a very good band, though they went more toward ballads, love songs, and softer rock.
The late great guitarist Terry Kath 46-78. He jammed so well that Jimi Hendrix once told him..."Hey man, an outstanding performance...I dig it!!...you even play better than me!..."
I’VE BEEN MEANING TO SHOW YOU THIS! I’m so glad you saw it. Terry Kath is one of my faves! One of our best ever! Excellent! Jimi loved him! His singing voice has even been compared to Ray Charles! We lost Terry way too young. The band wasn’t the same when he was gone. Sad story 😢 I was 15 and devastated. Been a fan of this Chicago since I was 10. Im sure you’ve heard many of their songs. But this is the best lineup of them. I’m so glad you digging on this Leo! Dig deep. This is one FANTASTIC BAND! 😃☮️💜🎸🎸🎸🥁🥁🥁
"Does anyone know what time it is?" one of their most popular songs. The reply, "It's 25 or 26 minutes until 4 a.m." this song. Love you bro, keep up the goodness.
I haven't heard this in forever. Wow. There is a slow, romantic song you might like by them called "If You Leave Me Now".... I had the 45 single of it when I was in elementary school. Beautiful song.
This song is still floating around kicking everyone’s ass. It was used in a new Army commercial but then I looked and found there’s a full-length remix! th-cam.com/video/LGCs4CS6ENA/w-d-xo.html
Oh my Mr. Video, great rabbit hole. This band is a total package of music and the brass section was sort of unique. If you like some brass in your music try Blood, Sweat and Tears another great band. Thanks for this memory (I still have the original album).
Your enjoyment of music is so amazing, bud, keeps me coming back. It's like discovering it all over again myself, your joy is so unrestrained and contagious.
YES!!!!!!! Chicago is another one of the greats! Grew up hearing them; My parents had several Chicago Albums. I love the jazz sound they have with their horn section! Each song has it's own mood; try "SATURDAY IN THE PARK"; next! LOVE!
I just saw them a few years ago. They were so good. Some of my other favorites are I’m A Man, Beginnings, Wishing You Were Here, Saturday In The Park and Make Me Smile. Just listen to The Very Best of: Only The Beginning Every song is awesome.
Don’t bother searching for another Chicago song like this. There are none anywhere close to this! They became known more for easy listening than rock. Nothing else even approaches the badassery of this one.
The late, great Terry Kath on guitar. "Free Form Guitar" is a magical piece of rock and roll recording history. Just an amazing bit of blistering guitar mastery from their first album. "25 or 6 to 4" refers to the time on the clock one morning when they were up late having a writing and jamming session. Someone asked what the time was, and it was 25 or (twenty) 6 (minutes) to 4 (o'clock in the morning) - roughly 3:35 or 3:34 am. I loved Chicago, especially these early records with Terry still playing, writing and singing. The horn arrangements by Jimmy Pankow are freakin' awesome (Tower of Power ear your heart out! Love ya, Greg) Where should your explorations of Chicago take you next? Well, I would suggest you start at the top of this list and just work your way down - You won't be disappointed, I promise. "Make Me Smile" "Feelin' Stronger Every Day" "Dialogue Parts 1 & 2" "Saturday In The Park" "Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?" "Colour My World"
You hit the Jackpot with Chicago and "25 6 to 4"! 💖❤💖 🎸🎺🎷🎹... I grew up with their music always playing at home and family events. You have to see them in concert.
I've heard lots of people mention how amazing they were live but I'd never actually seen any of their concert performances until this one... I see what people were talking about. Your reactions capture the raw joy and pleasure of the songs you play--thanks for brightening the days of so many of us locked inside right now. My kids are teenagers and we watch your reactions together, and I have older friends in their 60s and 70s that listen to you too... Your reactions literally bring generations together, man. You're KILLING IT!!!!!! :)
Staggering to realize that this was 50+ years ago. Still gets turned up to 11 at my house.
I'm only 38 and that feels crazy because my Mom instilled this music on me so young that it feels like it's mine too 💕
1970 was 30 years ago and I won't hear otherwise.
@@verbaluk1 agreed 🤣🤣
@@verbaluk1 I'll take that! 🤣
This is SPINALTAP. I Love 11 too.
"Made the guitar start laughing at us" I never heard it put that way, but he's right!! That's exactly what Terry Kath did in that solo. Great reaction!

One of the great guitarists of all time and a damn good vocalist too. This us one of his outstanding permonances. 💯💯💯
I don't think any of my other favorite reactors have done Question 67 & 68. You could beat Jamel_aka_Jemal to the punch on this on.
Yes! The first decade was bad ass!!
Make Me Smile is one of my favorite Chicago tunes.
Chicago II - the whole album is fire.
Also there was a lot going on with this song, lyric wise, music wise, it’s a masterpiece, Terry Kath was a phenomenal guitarist
Stone cold facts!
Absolutely !
Terry Kath...RIP
It's hard AF to play! I used to try to break down the horn section as a kid. Took me a long time to get it!
The GREAT Terry Kath! RIP died way to young we miss you !
This song is pretty special to me.
My Dad ( who I rarely saw growing up) picked me up one day.
I was probably 12 years old.
He pulls out this 45 and says "You like this band?" and it was this song. Idk why he gave it to me and Idc. Just the fact that he thought of me, long enough to get it and give it to me was good enough for me.
He died when I was 17 years old.
So here's 🍻 to my Dad. 💕💕💕
I thought a .45 caliber firearm!! Lol, duh. I get it...
Cherish that memory...because in the end that's all we have...
Yeah the younger generation probably doesn't know what a 45 is! Hahahaha...I'm so OLD! 🙄
@@marilynk30 me too, the same age as Chicago (band!) 53!
@@Frau44 yep 52 here.
Terry Kath absolutely going off. One of the greatest to ever pick up a guitar, and hardly anyone these days ever even heard of him.
Put it this way: Jimi Hendrix called him the best in the universe!
Feeling Stronger Every Day, Saturday in the Park, Make Me Smile...
Saturday in the park!!!
“Saturday In The Park”
“Colour My World”

Essentials. 😎
Sorry your house burned down 🥺
@@nolagirl2458 Thank you. Of the five places I’ve lived, the first two burned down. Whatever it was didn’t follow me, thankfully. 💜
You nailed all my LEAST favorite songs by them. Only a chick... 😂
"It's 25 or 26 minutes until 4am and I still can't figure out what the hell this song is going to be about when I'm done writing it"
This exactly is the meaning of the song, haha
Yes! I’m from Chicago too, that is how we say time, it’s 25 (minutes to hour) 4 (hour)
true story
The way I head th story was they were in a hotel someone ask what time it was and that inspired a song.
@@billforrester5235 I think that is “does anyone really know what time it is?”
Hendrix called Terry Kath "the best guitarist in the universe". Both died too soon.
Both in bs ways too, so many like them were their own undoing, it's always sad to see.
Never knew this. Nice.
I was watching a documentary where someone told a story about Jimi walking up on the side of the stage as Terry was playing, and he said something like "Man, I wish I could play like him".
No. He did not!
@@jeffyoungblood4978 yea he did
Years ago, there was these folks called musicians.....and they ruled.
What amazing song. Has it all. One of the best songs of all time in my opinion. And wow can he play that guitar like crazy good 👍😊. Like great. Really great.
One of the best things about the 70s was the horn sections. So many different instruments and people jamming together.
I’m A Man from this same concert live at Tanglewood, has got to be next, Jimi Hendrix once said Terry Kath was the best guitarist he had heard, Terry left us way to soon in the prime of his life , Chicago pretty much went to soft rock and love songs after his death but had success RIP Terry Kath

“I’m A Man” is another great performance by Chicago.
There are two fantastic performances avail, this concert (encore) and the 1969 version B & W.
Yes! That live version of I’m A Man is the best!
Or it better end soon from the same concert
Yes it is and it loves you so
Chicago before the saccharin took hold were such an inventive group of musicians. The early albums are masterpieces.
When Terry passed, it was over. IMO
RIP the REAL Chicago!
Impressive making such a great song about staying up all night on cocaine.
@@ernestortiz4555 Probably wouldn't have happened on an 'all-nighter' of Red Bull and McFlurry's.

Must hear "Hard to Say I'm Sorry". The singer is Peter Cetera. He also did "Glory of Love" for the original Karate Kid II movie during his solo career.
The drums on this song are phenomenal as well!
Thank you for your appreciation of the music. My generation had some amazing musicians. Terry Kath.....guitarist
Terry Kaith is the guitarist. Quite possibly one of the most underrated and unspoken guitarists ever
He wrote the song in the middle the night at like four in the morning staring at the clock and that’s how the song came about

Terry is my all time fav musician.
I love seeing new fans hearing Terry for the first time.
@@chrislewis7841 yes! 25 to 4 is 3:35AM. Trying to write a song.

They WERE bad ass in the beginning. Then they went candy-ass.

He said "Terry Kath is the Best Guitarist in The Universe"
I agree.!
“Who is this”, this the man Jimi thought was better than him.
He asked the band to open for him on tour after he heard Terry play
Perfect reaction to other worldly guitarist and band.
Now, you threading on the ELITES of the 70s!! Along with Earth, Wind, & Fire, The Eagles, Doobie Brothers...Chicago is a BAD ASS band!! They still kickin' today!! Many of their jams, including this, played by high school and college marching bands!!!!
He was in the ZONE playing that solo and he took us all with him! :)
This is what is missing in today’s music all instruments. Talent beyond just singing.
Horn section gives me dill pickle chillz every time! One of my favorite bands of all time! Go Terry!! Of course Peter is awesome as well!
Omg this is the greatest rendition of this song I have ever heard. Three cheers to whomever requested this one. Awesome! Always loved the hell out of this song! ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️
Perhaps the most amazing part of the entire original video is, what how closely everyone else in the band watches Terry solo...they’ve been listening to him play for years by this point, but they still know that they don’t know what he’s capable of pulling off
Chicago - I'm a Man - live 1970 - Tanglewood...must see, cuz....It's Brilliant!
You so need to go down the rabbit hole with their early stuff! "Beginning" and "make me smile" will have you all over your sofa and walking around.
I had a best friend in High School and we would have sleep overs, we would fall asleep to Chicagos greatest hits cd on repeat..

@@markclark6702 without question. Perfect LEO song.
@@markclark6702 yes! Agreed!
I love Foghat Slow Ride!
Oh my Mr. Video, great rabbit hole. This band is a total package of music and the brass section was sort of unique. If you like some brass in your music try Blood, Sweat and Tears another great band. Thanks for this memory (I still have the original album).
What you witnessed is the greatness that was Terry Kath. A musical genius. R.I.P.
The way Chicago combined the brass section and guitars created some really stand out tunes.
Mr. Video always makes mondays better, thank you sir. Franz Ferdinand- “Take Me Out”. Plz and thank you
Yeah + The video is awesome too! 👌 👏
We just saw them in concert a few years ago. They are still this awesome!
I second the Foghat SLOW RIDE EXTENDED LIVE
Foghat is so underrated!
This is how GREAT MUSIC WAS IN THE 1970s ,,,, MY fav times ever ,,
Your enjoyment of music is so amazing, bud, keeps me coming back. It's like discovering it all over again myself, your joy is so unrestrained and contagious.
And right there with you on the frisson
It has never been about the color of your skin but the content of your soul ! Any color can have soul !
Ballistical, crystical, and mystical! Awright now! 😂 I love it. Chicago is THE band.
YES!!!!!!! Chicago is another one of the greats! Grew up hearing them; My parents had several Chicago Albums.
I love the jazz sound they have with their horn section! Each song has it's own mood; try "SATURDAY IN THE PARK"; next! LOVE!
I just saw them a few years ago. They were so good.
Some of my other favorites are I’m A Man, Beginnings, Wishing You Were Here, Saturday In The Park and Make Me Smile.
Just listen to The Very Best of: Only The Beginning
Every song is awesome.
Don’t bother searching for another Chicago song like this. There are none anywhere close to this! They became known more for easy listening than rock. Nothing else even approaches the badassery of this one.
The late, great Terry Kath on guitar. "Free Form Guitar" is a magical piece of rock and roll recording history. Just an amazing bit of blistering guitar mastery from their first album.
"25 or 6 to 4" refers to the time on the clock one morning when they were up late having a writing and jamming session. Someone asked what the time was, and it was 25 or (twenty) 6 (minutes) to 4 (o'clock in the morning) - roughly 3:35 or 3:34 am.
I loved Chicago, especially these early records with Terry still playing, writing and singing. The horn arrangements by Jimmy Pankow are freakin' awesome (Tower of Power ear your heart out! Love ya, Greg)
Where should your explorations of Chicago take you next? Well, I would suggest you start at the top of this list and just work your way down - You won't be disappointed, I promise.
"Make Me Smile"
"Feelin' Stronger Every Day"
"Dialogue Parts 1 & 2"
"Saturday In The Park"
"Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?"
"Colour My World"
The great Terry Kath, one of the most under appreciated guitarist in rock, and roll.
You hit the Jackpot with Chicago and
"25 6 to 4"! 💖❤💖
🎸🎺🎷🎹...
I grew up with their music always playing at home and family events. You have to see them in concert.
Once the pandemic is over, you could try your hand at being a wedding DJ for fun - I bet you'd be a huge hit.
This is the ringtone on my phone, this song rocks. I love horns in songs
Chicago is known for one of the greatest horns sections. Their horn section is a dead give away to knowing that is Chicago’s music being played.
Your reactions to this are exactly what record collectors hope for when we introduce people to great stuff. Thanks for the rush!
Wait until you hear Terry Kath sing. Try "Make Me Smile"
I've heard lots of people mention how amazing they were live but I'd never actually seen any of their concert performances until this one... I see what people were talking about.
Your reactions capture the raw joy and pleasure of the songs you play--thanks for brightening the days of so many of us locked inside right now. My kids are teenagers and we watch your reactions together, and I have older friends in their 60s and 70s that listen to you too... Your reactions literally bring generations together, man. You're KILLING IT!!!!!! :)
