Everyone needs to listen to this masterpiece at least once. Brilliant.

Hey Faith! Chicago was/is a hugely successful band. Here's the short story: Been around since 1967, started as The Big Thing, then Chicago Transit Authority, and finally Chicago. The original line-up, IMO, is their best: Terry Kath: guitar (lead & rhythm); Peter Cetera: bass; Robert Lamm: keyboards; Danny Seraphine: drums; Lee Loughnane: trumpet, flugelhorn; James Pankow: trombone; Walter Parazaider: saxophones, flute. Early on, they opened for Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin. Terry Kath is one of the greatest guitarists EVER and it's mind-boggling that he is not near the top of every list out there. Tragically, he died just short of his 32nd birthday from an accidental, self-inflicted gun shot wound in 1978. IMO the band was never the same, they couldn't be, as he was such a force of energy and creativity. Since then, they've had various changes in line-up, are still playing today, they've released 25 studio albums. They've had many huge hits over the years with the different line-ups - but I still believe their best stuff is their earliest with Terry Kath. Definitely worth checking out the rest of their Tanglewood concert. BTW, 25 or 6 to 4 refers to time of day - was "stuck" while writing a song at about 4:00am. Anyway, Thanks for a great reaction, Faith. Much love! ️ ️ ️

I keep saying I was soooo lucky to have grown up with the greatest music...late 60's, 70's and 80's! I was 14 when this was filmed...jeeze!! Great choice Nora, thank you!

They have so many hits from their 70s and 80s time! Start with the 70s and then onward to the 80s! Both Awesome! I would list but there are too many,lol.Can't go wrong with any😊🎶❤

True that.

The great Chicago lasted until lead guitarist Terry Kaths death in the late 70's. They are still together but were never even remotely the same band without him. Check out "I'm A Man and "Make Me Smile". Check out the documentary The Terry Kath Experience. You will learn all you need to know about him and the band.

You said it perfectly. There is so much good music!!! Watching reactions to songs I’ve loved over the years has introduced me to a whole new world of music I wasn’t exposed to growing up. I keep and open mind and if it works for me it’s a win and I tell 2 friends and so on..... Thank you for being so genuine doll. Love it. And the passion behind it.

For 54 years( Happy Birthday to me 5/24) all this tremendous music was the soundtrack of my life.

I have just started getting into Chicago, like you I have a lot if discovery to enjoy. Peter Cetera has a great voice, I first came across him with his song for the "Karate Kid"

Chicago is a big rabbit hole. Tons of albums/music. Hope you react to more

Here's a fact...Chicago is the longest continuous touring band in history. They began touring in 1968 and are still out there today. Yeah. The fifty second year.

Had some great music back in the day didn’t we? Thanks Faith and Nora. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Your reactions remind me if myself 50 years ago. I relive thise monents through you. Thank you because i need to remember as my days come to a end. Brings a smile to my eyes. Yiur reaction to Love Reign Oee Me by the Who was my favorite of yours. It gou hed my heart and evoked memories i needed to remember when i heard ur fir the first time fifty years ago. Tge fact jt can still evoke thise same emotions in you 5 decades later is a testament to iur nusics timelessness and talent.

make me smile, one of my favs, unfortunately the guitarist, singer terry kath killed himself in a gun accident...

I'm at the first pause and you're gushing over this band without having reached the Kath solo...priceless.

Let’s put it like this..... Rock & Roll Hall of Famers w/ more “Greatest Hits” albums than I can count with most if not all “double” albums. It’s a huge rabbit hole.... jump on in. They started as Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) and some of their best work is on that first album.

Chicago grew out of Downtown Chicago school called DePaul U., most of the band attended the music school there.

This song is probably Chicago's most famous song and is FIFTY YEARS OLD! The band is still going strong, but their sound drastically changed after founding member guitarist Terry Kath died after he accidentally shot himself. Please check out their debut album Chicago Transit Authority and listen to Terry sing on "Introduction" to hear his soulful baritone voice, and his guitar funk killing it on "Poem 58". THAT would be a great reaction video!

Love this clip Early chicago so good

The title of the song, 25 0r 6 to 4. They were sitting around one night smoking and writing when someone asked what time it was and one of the technicians said it was 25 or 26 to 4 in the morning and hence the name of the song they later wrote "25 or 6 to 4". Terry Kath the guitarist has passed and Peter Cetera on vocals had a falling out with the band and is no longer with them. When they were inducted into the R&R Hall of Fame he declined the invitation to attend!

Hey Gord thanks for the info!! All the best!! :-)

They were huge in the 70s. Huge.

Notice Terry Kath had one pedal. A wah-wah. Guitarists these days have board 3 feet wide and 2 feet deep loaded with a thousand gadgets.

They are no Pink Floyd, Beatles or Zeppelin but still sold over 100 million albums. Not too bad

He didn't say, "Take Care!" - but he said, "Terry Kath!" - that was the keyboard player and writer, Robert Hamm that said it. Peter Cetera, Terry Kath, and Robert Hamm all had leads in different songs. Jimi Hendrix spoke very highly of Terry Kath. Sadly, in 1978 Terry took a revolver to his head, thinking it was not loaded... bang! Very sad ending for Kath. Please give a tribute band a try that does many Chicago songs, "Leonid and Friends" - if you watch them, not only do they sound very similar to Chicago, but they give Chicago a very solid name!

The best!

This concert was televised back then,

Get It Girl! I Appreciate Your Enthusiasm!! I Had To Sub You! 👍

If you want more jamming musicianship from these guys their version of "I'm a man" is a must.

Check out their live "I'm A Man." There's several versions out there. Thx.

I saw the title and I clicked Subscribe. Pls do more of them and similar iconic 70s bands. Nothing like them since those years. Magical era for music. And yes that horn section was, and still is, off the chain. 🔥🔥🔥

I enjoyed watching you enjoy great music !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

React to “Make Me Smile” from Chicago please you will like it I promise

Chicago was the only rock n roll band allowed to play at Carnegie Hall. They sold out a record 4 consecutive days straight. Unheard of.

You couldn't keep up with the air guitar, but you was jammin!!!! Great energy and reaction 👍👍👍😆😆😆

When I seen you starting to play air guitar to Terry Kath's solo I was thinking to myself I hope she did her Jane Fonda workout.

Title is about time of early morning 3:35am or 3:34am.

Terry Kath. Rip 1946-1978 was co founder and guitariest. He died of an accidental gun shot. He died, the band was never the same.

RIP TERRY KATH #TERRYKATH MY FAVORITE EVER!!!!!!!

A lot of them are still together. Unfortunately the lead guitar (who Jimi Hendrix said was better than him) passed away in 1978 in a gun accident

Next try Make me Smile, or Colour my World

Hard to believe, but there were hundreds of bands/groups putting out music just as good as this in the 60s and 70s. Although Chicago was in a genre by themselves. Spin you up some Captain Beefheart doin' CLICK- CLACK live or Loggins and Messina ANGRY EYES live or Delaney& Bonnie and Friends with King Curtis and Duane and Greg Allman doin' ONLY YOU KNOW AND I KNOW live at A&R Radio. I could name you a hundred more but you are on your own journey to discover what REAL MUSIC is all about.

50 years ago 👍

The band died and sold out to syrupy ballads after Terry Kath died from an accidental self inflicted gun shot. His lead guitar and Rhythm work is stellar

This is one of their signature songs. Their best music was from late 60s to about mid 70s. Unfortunately about 1976 they started to change their sound to a softer rock.....love songs galore sound.

Chicago with Terry Kath!

Dig it*

❤️🙏🙏🙏

The title is the answer to the question: what time is it?

Chicago is a monster bad band. They still play. Peter Cetera passed. There is a band in Russia that does only Chicago called Leonid. That's how good Chicago is. Studio version is much better lose too much here.

Clever, but not at all what the song is about.

Jimi Hendrix called terry the badest guitarist in the universe..

That sucks terry shot him self on acedent playing with a gun while under the influence

13 year olds are not adults

Not a state, and if you react to Boston, also not a state. But Kansas is, but Kansas City isn't in Kansas. 😜

Terry Kath better than Jimmy ? Yes so says Jimmy.
