This is one the top five concert videos I've ever seen. The quality of the recording is incredible. I was never a big Chicago fan, but holy cow! I discovered Terry Kath in this live concert video, and I was ashamed that I hadn't been aware of his talent long before.
Yeah. In fact, Chicago played a few shows at Tanglewood. I think more than any other band. They got a lot of love from the lovely folks of Tanglewood. Every video of Chicago, playing there, shows WHY they were loved so much. Kath's death created a huge hole, in the collective heart of Humanity, that has never been totally filled. If the Terry Kath biographical film, made by Terry's daughter, is still on YT, or Amazon, watch it, if you haven't, already. Ah hell, even if you have seen it. She went searching for knowledge of the father who died when she was 3 or 4, I think, and she ended up with a beautiful story of the father she barely knew, but loved, anyway.
T.k...the ultimate the real deal.....singer..song writer..lead guitar that kills..rhythm..that nobody can even come close to..heart felt..he was a human conduit of music..channeled it like no other..Terry was simply the best.!!
Rhythm and Lead guitar heading a seven person band, commanding it. All of that, add Lead Vocals at the same time, all seamlessly, and you have Terry Kath.
This is probably my favorite song from my favorite live concert performance. It's got everything: funk, soul, blues, hard riffs, protest lyrics and an absolutely awesome flute solo. But what Terry Kath does at about 8:15 is straight ascension to the realms of the musical gods.
Terry Kath, it was only CHICAGO with you. He is PHENOMENAL in this, unbelievable. Every other band member was brilliant too, what an amazing concert that would have been to see.
Thank God my dad knows music 19 year old here who thinks oldies are the best. Music to my ears doesn't compute until you hear true talent. Thanks Scotty
There are many wonderfully talented guitarists. But good heavens, there was just the one Terry Kath. What a towering talent. Such a tragic loss. That said, Kath's performance of this same song on the Carnegie Hall album is even better.
Allegedly, only a few short years ago, Robert was frustrated that Lenny Kravitz wouldn't work/collaborate with him. LK couldn't dream to ever get close to what RL has written, so why oh why did he ask LK?
Terry Kath just rocks! Just blown away by his performance, his vocals, his guitar!!! Such a great band; this should be homework for any new rock n' roll band on how its done!
How appropriate this song is for today...Artists, whether they wanna be or not, are the prophets of their particular generation...I remember seeing this cats around 1970.. At U of D in Detroit Mi. I was right under Terry Kath for at least 90 minutes. This brother was a stomping, churning, screaming, grunting, groaning rhythm machine...Easily one of the best to do this damn thang!!
One can only imagine the music lost in time by the death of Terry Kath...I am positive he would still be churning out great riffs and songs to this day...What a tremendous loss that was!!
One of my favorites by Chicago. Catch the studio version to get a clear listen to yet another amazing flute solo by Walter Parazadier, although I must admit, as live recordings go this one is pretty good.
petec9686, have you heard the version from "Live At Carnegie Hall" between April 5th and April 10th 1971. There is some good solo musicianship HERE..............there are few spots during that performance that could be turned in the melody for new songs as well (Pete was on fire during this whole song that week).
This is the song that started me on a life long love of Chicago, Thank you cousin Sharon for that! It still makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up. What a groove, and the message, we can stop if we only try.
funny when people talk about guitar gods they say names like Hendrix, Page, Van Halen, Clapton, but u never hear Terry’s name … and he had just as much talent as all of them. What a shame he died so young. His death killed the Chicago progressive rock band and brought on the Chicago commercial love song and radio hits band. I think this line up was the best
This was them at their best.I first saw them in ‘72 .I religiously bought their first 7 albums.By then,they changed to what they are now.But those of the true fans will never forget the early days.
@@floatsting20 yes indeed the original Chicago 7 or great and then of course at the time of the Chicago seven album when Laudir rest in peace, also join the band they became really good with his percussion too
my favorite band. All were great on their instruments but without Robert Lamm's incredible writing there would have been no Chicago. Their concert playlist would be rather small. He wrote by far the most and best songs on their first five albums and continued with great contributions after that. Does anybody know what time it is, Beginnings, Questions 67 and 68, Listen, South California Purples , Someday ( with Pankow) Poem for the people, 24 or 6 to 4 .It better end soon, Sing a mean tune kid, I dont' want your money (with Kath) Free, Happy cause I'm going home, Saturday in the Park, Dialogue, State of the Union and many more were all penned by Lamm on the first five albums. Without his writing there were only a few great songs ie Introduction, and In the country (b;y Kath) the great Ballet for a girl in buchanan , Movin in (by Pankow) and Lowdown (by Cetera) Lamm was the backbone of the band when they were at their brilliant best.
@@Bubdiddly On the "Chicago II" album, "Make Me Smile" is one part of "Ballet for a Girl in Buchanon," which he mentioned in his comment. "Make Me Smile" was edited and made into a single for the radio, a move which the band opposed at the time.
You had me at "Hey Everybody".... Terry what an amazing musician, dearly missed. If only Peter would be satisfied playing the best baseline for the best band... Epic lyrics by Robert. And the flute by Walter is beyond words. What a band!
well then compare Terry the Hendrix and more. I kind of think of the same way with Wally some of the stuff found on Chicago III I think could rival Chris Wood and traffic on their best days too in flute work
Thumbs up to 'If only Peter would be satisfied playing the best baseline for the best band'. Peter Cetera was actually one hell of a bass player to be able to keep up with Terry as seen on the CTA album especially 'Introductions' and the 'Liberations' on side 4.
The original lineup. Bliss. Wonderful memories of a fantastic innovative band. Pity the same cant be said of the current touring lineup. An Australian fan from the CTA album.
@@Patrickrivasticksdrums that would have been awesome touring V album. of course then Terry would be rolling his Mountain Man beard look like a lumberjack in that year I believe??
got to remember at this time the Vietnam war was raging totally out of control... not only fusing Jazz Rock together but also a voice is social consciousness of the time.
This is one of my favorite cuts from the excellent Chicago 2 album. This live rendition is off the hook, and back when they were the real Chicago. Of course after Terry Kath passed, the band carried on (with more lineup changes and albums to come) to the present day. But as far as I'm concerned, the original lineup was the only one that mattered.
sometimes you had to because of that noise level you know who else used to do that on a bunch of stuff was the late Danny Joe Brown and Molly hatchet when it was solo time he'd whistle and point to somebody to lay down some riffs..you could hear it clearly on flirtin With disaster but there's some other good hatchet stuff to where he does the same thing Gator Country and more...
Judy Reyes beautiful day Judy you got a big beautiful smile you have a good day Wherever You Are keep listening of the make people happy sincerely Ed The Music Man
Judy Reyes get dirty for noticing my reply to your comment you are a beautiful woman for some reason you just make me feel like a little kid just looking at your picture I guess you bring out that naughty boy or me I just wanted you to know you have a great day and a good night wherever you are and if you don't have anybody special in your life I would sure like to talk to you about that but if you do you just have a great one you are a beautiful woman if you ever need to talk to somebody I'm always here you take care of yourself and if you want to talk it's fine to talk to me you take care hope to hear from you soon and enjoy the music you'll never be alone you're always have somebody to talk to your special I could tell
Kath: just amazing. Such feeling in his singing and playing. The best every. (have to add this) Kath had such deep soul/blues power in his vocal/guitar he was unstoppable monster. I was into BEATLES up until Kath. Don't get me wrong, BEATLES best group ever , Lennon especially. BUT...my cuz from CT brought Chicago II & III in (Pa. I live in) and I heard this deep scary voice and powerful guitar, totally hippie activist. It was stunning to hear, I was like 12years old I'd say. And never heard a deep powerul vocal like that. And it grew on me year after year. Cetera took over the band, they weren't the same even while Kath was in it. First 5 albums MUST GET.......ESSENTIAL. Never had Carnegie hall: get I II III V. III is a masterpiece. Actually that is the best one,no one knows it. We got them original as kids, all came double gatefold covers with MULTIPLE giant posters in each one. I mean BIG posters, unfolded like 20 x size or something ridiculous like that. He brought in SMOKIN' Humble Pie, that was my outro from the beatles into other stuff. BEATLES ALWAYS THOUGH. My cuz bought chicago II $5.00 LOL. that was the price of a great double album then, I will never forget. WE thought it was expensive believe it or not. He said he'd be back with the tax, guy let him have record....he never went back. I knew he wouldn't. All 3 of us knew it.
I didn't like some parts of the performance, but as a lover of most anything Terry Kath Produced or performed. With a few moments of exception, I LOVED this performance. "IT better end soon" was Terry's masterpiece. And it was. He wrote it. He loved it. At the time in this Country. it was a very important song for us all to hear. I am 68. Remember this like yesterday.
This video highlights how Terry Kath could sing and play lead guitar simultaneously. Very hard thing to do. Even most of the guitar greats switch to rhythm playing whilst they’re singing. Listening to their fourth album, Live at Carnegie Hall, you hear him playing even more complicated notes while singing this song. He remains one of the best of all time, in my book.
Maryann Merritt 3M please come and take me away I want to be your slave you're so beautiful I love you you have such a good taste in music we could listen to Chicago all day and night sincerely Ed The Music Man

Chicago in the 70s was really an authentic Statesonian band because in the flow fast style, look, it was a jazz, rock, pop and blues and fusion band, it really was a school and paradigm for bands with the same or similar rhythms, really the first formation of Chicago and unbeatable, those who held Chicago back afterwards were Champlin and Scheff, but already in the disdainful mode, memory and regression, Cetera felt very much about Kath's departure, hence this unbearable longing for him and he decided to have a solo career, they were really very united Kath and Cetera, after the death of Cetera's friend, the band was not the same and had no charm, but if it had stayed with Champlin and Scheff, Chicago would have preserved its primary essence. I saw this same spirit and arrangement transcended by Chicago's daughter band, Leonids and Friends, which really revived this Chicago spirit and practice in the 21st century. The 70s was truly the golden age of this beautiful and inspiring band. May the Anglophone music of the 21st century be inspired by Chicago and make better music than them because they are actually just making sound rubbish, just meaningless rubbish.... Love to Chicago ♾️🥂♾️💎🕊️💙♾️🕊️♾️
Anyone who appreciates music at its finest - particularly rock music - owes a debt of gratitude to the people who unearthed this gem of a concert.
This is one the top five concert videos I've ever seen. The quality of the recording is incredible. I was never a big Chicago fan, but holy cow! I discovered Terry Kath in this live concert video, and I was ashamed that I hadn't been aware of his talent long before.

Yeah. In fact, Chicago played a few shows at Tanglewood. I think more than any other band. They got a lot of love from the lovely folks of Tanglewood.

Terry Kath, a giant who sings, plays rhythm, and lead guitar simultaneously! One of the greatest guitarists I have ever seen/heard.
T.k...the ultimate the real deal.....singer..song writer..lead guitar that kills..rhythm..that nobody can even come close to..heart felt..he was a human conduit of music..channeled it like no other..Terry was simply the best.!!

He was actually a big guy
This song is more relevant now than ever.
@@donnafrost12strings To the Democrap control of government, yes.
My favorite overlooked gem of theirs. Terry Kath provided the muscle. Without him Chicago became too soft. With him they're one of the best!
Terry Kath provided them with their edge. Once he was gone, they were pretty much a pop band.
Who woulda thot a kid that grew up with polka music would take rock to another level?
@@birdzilla106agee 100%

One of the absolute BEST anti-war songs of all time! Love me some Terry Kath!
This is a masterpiece. But so is the entire album. Love Terry's voice.
Thank God my dad knows music 19 year old here who thinks oldies are the best. Music to my ears doesn't compute until you hear true talent. Thanks Scotty
Wish this was on Blu-Ray HD remaster. Terry Kath kicked ass in this song.
My favorite recording ever, It Better End Soon, Tanglewood. Terry at his finest.
Kath the most underrated guitarist in the history of rock!!
A monster player. This a great song to showcase his talents.
There are many wonderfully talented guitarists. But good heavens, there was just the one Terry Kath. What a towering talent. Such a tragic loss.
That said, Kath's performance of this same song on the Carnegie Hall album is even better.

Chicago was Never the same without Him .
Agree
Agreed. He revived my passion to learn guitar again just now!
I don't think Robert Lamme ever had or ever will have the credit he deserves
Agreed, but with so much talent in one band, I can see how it would happen.
Allegedly, only a few short years ago, Robert was frustrated that Lenny Kravitz wouldn't work/collaborate with him. LK couldn't dream to ever get close to what RL has written, so why oh why did he ask LK?
@@jillcook5916 You are right. No one was bigger than anyone in this band. They are a BAND
Master song writer.

What a monster performance from Terry Kath. Flat out the best guitarist and vocalist ever. Man, I miss him so 😥 love you Terry 🙏🙏
Terry Kath just rocks! Just blown away by his performance, his vocals, his guitar!!! Such a great band; this should be homework for any new rock n' roll band on how its done!

Terry is rocking rolling and working that hair love it!
Bet his hair was tired after the show.
Great music & memories of life, the standard of excellence for 50 years, one of the best band's of all time
One of my favorites by Chicago. Catch the studio version to get a clear listen to yet another amazing flute solo by Walter Parazadier, although I must admit, as live recordings go this one is pretty good.
When Chicago was Chicago. I always said Terry was the best guitarist ever. He left a void that will never be filled.
First time I've heard this tune. Absolutely blown away.
When performed live, Terry improvised the chatter part after the flute solo. He changed the words almost every night.
petec9686, have you heard the version from "Live At Carnegie Hall" between April 5th and April 10th 1971. There is some good solo musicianship HERE..............there are few spots during that performance that could be turned in the melody for new songs as well (Pete was on fire during this whole song that week).
I didn't know about Terry Kath. He was phenomenal. Wow.
Thanks to TH-cam we are always learning.
Amazing guitar, bass line and vocals!
The Best period of Chicago. The summum of Chicago.
Yeah ! Great music and freedom.
TALENT all across the board. Many people don't know this Chicago.
Presentacion increible fantastica .
This is the song that started me on a life long love of Chicago, Thank you cousin Sharon for that! It still makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up. What a groove, and the message, we can stop if we only try.
Chicago was never the same when they lost their leader, Terry Kath, he was the heart and soul of the band!
2 yrs later---needed to re-listen to this----at 5;45, all 7 are in the frame---took a picture
One of the Greatest Live Performances one can see in history. Absolutely Brilliant !!!
Terry Kath is a beast!! Chicago rock's in these video's. My 1st concert was a/beach boys 6/24/75.
When this band was on. There was no other great live band
We're light years away from Hard to Say I'm Sorry here.

The mighty Terry Kath ❤❤❤ and the mighty EVERYONE IN THE BAND.
The whole song is phenomenal, love it all, Walt's solo, then at 8:15 Terry is on FIRE.
Absolutely talented beyond words.
This was them at their best.I first saw them in ‘72 .I religiously bought their first 7 albums.By then,they changed to what they are now.But those of the true fans will never forget the early days.

Not to be confused with the Chicago Seven. You're right this lineup was something to behold. Without Terry they lost too much "muscle." Peace
One of the greatest performances in the history music. I make sure to watch it atleast once a day.
the most POWERFUL song ever written and performed
got to remember at this time the Vietnam war was raging totally out of control... not only fusing Jazz Rock together but also a voice is social consciousness of the time.
One of Terry's best. The heart and soul of Chicago
You are right. If you watch this whole concert. Terry was the alpha on stage

Blown away, god... What a performance!, wish i was there in front row.
What a tune. Fantastic stuff!!!!
I was so into this band. From 1969 until....forever. Exactly one year after this concert I was inducted into the US ARMY. The Whole World Is Watching!
You gotta love Terry's infamous whistle at 8:01 to break it all down!
That's it! I just caught that too. I'd looked around for examples of it - and here's one. Good catch!
sometimes you had to because of that noise level

Це щось неймовірне!
Chicago is the only band that can make horns sound awesome. I typically dont like horns in my music but Chicago just makes it so cool.
I didn't like some parts of the performance, but as a lover of most anything Terry Kath Produced or performed. With a few moments of exception, I LOVED this performance. "IT better end soon" was Terry's masterpiece. And it was. He wrote it. He loved it. At the time in this Country. it was a very important song for us all to hear. I am 68. Remember this like yesterday.
Terry's solo intro at 8"20 is the best thing I've ever heard from a guitar.
Terry Kath meant every word of that.
T.K. a monster. how can you strum that fast?
This video highlights how Terry Kath could sing and play lead guitar simultaneously. Very hard thing to do. Even most of the guitar greats switch to rhythm playing whilst they’re singing. Listening to their fourth album, Live at Carnegie Hall, you hear him playing even more complicated notes while singing this song. He remains one of the best of all time, in my book.
As relevant today as ever..."can't take it no more..."
This song is absolute 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Damn good!!

Peter Cetera's bass frames the song until the end, when we get reminded of Beethoven's first Symphony's end.
What a voice !!
Brilliant !
When will we break the Time/space barrier already. This exact place time and dimension is my first stop
Heyyyyyy everybody.......Look what's goin' down
Still applicable NOW ! LISTEN!!!

Crying for help for so many years
But nobody hears
Better end soon, my friend
