Terry Kath is massively underrated

The whole Tanglewood Concert is a masterclass in live music. Terry Kath on guitar took Chicago to a pinnacle!

This is one of my favorite live videos of all time. When you realize 1) how young these guys are and 2) how tight the band is. I mean, they're FIXING THE DRUMS during the intro, and they still don't miss a beat.

No doubt. They were my first two concerts. Both at the Yale Bowl in 1972(?). My older brother who was in college took me and another older brother (I'm the last of five). I think Delaney and Bonnie opened. The brother who brought us was in college at SO CT STATE COLLEGE and I'm 10 years younger, so I was 10 I guess. Alot of mean green ((what's that smell?). About 3-4 years later the other brother took me with his friends to see them, again at the Yale Bowl Now, us three are the only ones left.....but I'm still the coolest....

Hello Rebeka, The best way to get started with Chicago would be the first song from the first album. Chicago Transit Authority. The song is simply titled “Introduction“ to give you a quick little tour around the band. Plus you get the thick, rich vocals of Terry Kath the guitarist at the time.

Thanks for this video; this is one of the best LIVE guitar solos ever! Terry Kath, the guitar player, was an incredible guitarist, who unfortunately died too young. This solo alone should put him one the best of lists for guitar. Maybe you don't see him because his career was so short.

Its so refreshing to see the younger generations reacting to the greatest music ever made.

During the summer of 1969, Cetera was accosted by four men - he stated they were Marines - while attending a baseball game at Dodger Stadium. His jaw was broken in three places and had to be wired shut so it could heal. this had a lasting affect on him jutting his chin out while singing that gave the affect you were seeing his vocal chords have lasted for years after {:-) PAV UK

Many people consider Jimi Hendrix to be the greatest guitar player ever. Jimi said it was Terry Kath.

I knew you'd like this one Rebeka. A great live version of this song, especially the great guitar solo. Only drawback, not great audio on it. It's too bad Terry Kath, the great guitar player accidentally shot himself. Check out song - Does Anyone Really Know What Time it is?

Chicago was built around the 3 horns. This rock band, rather than lots of guitars they used horns. That is why you hear a slight jazz influence.

One of my all time favorites. Kath was awesome. R.I.P. man

Takes me back to Vietnam. New music was slow to come from the States. I had friends record a NY radio station (WNEW FM) (Alison Steele ..The Nightbird). Wonderful how a song can lift you up and carry you to another time and place instantly. TY Rebeka

To add another suggestion here, look for another Tanglewood video of Chicago's on here; this one should be for a suite of songs they wrote collectively called "Ballet For Buchannon" . It brought about two hit songs: "Make Me Smile" and " Color My World".

saw them in concert three times. Great band gave us so many hit. Back then we had a number of bands that had horns or a brass section that made beautiful music.

I think you'd love "In the Country" from the same concert, or from the Live at Carnegie Hall recording (but no video for that one). It goes through more changes and also has a great horn arrangement.

I saw these guys in a free concert at Miami-Dade Jr. College in around 1970. Great concert and high energy.

If you liked this song, Rebeka, listen to their Greatest Hits. This band was magical. They dominated the Top 40 during the '70s.

Rather than "orchestra", the term to use here is "horn section", and it's a huge part of Chicago's trademark sound. 🤘😎

Fun fact they were originally called C T A which meant Chicago transit authority.

One of their latest songs is "now" . A lot of instruments involved.

Terry Kath and Chicago, "Wishing You Were Here", '74 New Year's Rockin' Eve : features Terry and Peter on lead vocals with the incredible backing vocals of the Beach Boys. Peter goes from Bass to acoustic guitar and Terry goes from lead guitar to bass. This live version sounds incredibly close to the studio version that can't tell the difference and you get to see them..

I'm one of the biggest Chicago fans ever. Love them so much, have been to many concerts and I own every album they've ever put out. That being said, you folks need to do a search for Leonid & Friends and listen to their 25 or 6 to 4. They are the ultimate tribute band and if you know Chicago like I do, you'll see that they play the song note for note. Since all of the original Chicago guys (inlcuding me) are old dudes now, Leonid & Friends are a re-birth of Chicago. Catch one of their concerts. You won't be disappointed.

Amazing band excellent guitar player

Tanglwood ( Boston Mass. ) did as great job in '70. there's real good video of Santana and ''it's a Beautiful Day' in concert. other bands also mentioned.

Rebeka, I have noticed Peter Cetera trying to get the higher notes by doing just what you said he does. For example when he sings waiting for the break of day, he tends to add a quick extra push with a yah.... waiting for the break of day - yah and he does that in almost every line that requires a high note and it sounds a bit like a struggle but as you said it still sounds really good

Vocals are awesome 👌 amazing band ..one of the best in the world

They used to be called "Chicago transit authority" and then renamed "Chicago" and the guitar player is Terry Kath.. he was very underated, but Jimi Hendrix said he was the best! Great group, with the trumpets mixed with rock... so groovy was their sound..

FYI, the lead singer of this song, Peter Cetera, actually recorded the studio version with his jaw wired shut because of it being broken. That helped create his singing style.

This track reminds me of bunking in concerts as a kid in 70s London.

Peter sings the way he does because he got into a fight and got his jaw broken. He had it wired together for several months and developed that singing style because of it. Guess he never hurt his voice as he sang that way for 50 years or so and has just retired about 5 years ago. He is 78 years old and was the last member to join Chicago. Can tell you love and understand music by the way you move to it. Chicago toured with Jimi Hendrix and opened for him. Jimi said Terry was the best guitar player that he ever heard. Thanks for looking up some facts about the song and sharing them. So many of the other reaction videos never take the time to look up some history on the song that they are reviewing or the band itself. Thanks again.

Btw this concert was held just about the time in went to boot camp for the Marines in San Diego, Calif.

One of the best guitar solos ever. Iconic this bad is.

Song supposedly about psychedelics.!!

Big hit from the second album. Terry Kath died in a gunshot accident in 1978; the band kept going, but that was pretty much it for the best stuff. (As a singer, Kath was a great guitarist.)

Just start at the debut. Who else could convince Colombia to let the band put out a Double LP debut! Truly epic 1st 6 LPS.

Any guitar players hear when Terry uses 16th note rhythms in his strumming while he's comping during the verses and choruses? The solo was epic enough, but his rhythm playing....great time and feel. The patterns he fit in there. Another lesson on great guitar playing.

Besides just seeing and hearing one of the best rock guitar solos of all time, here's the backstory on that whole fixing the drums' thing. My older brother was at that concert, and he witnessed what happened. When they did their last set, the roadies took the stage, not realizing they were being screamed at to do an encore. They had already removed a couple of the cymbals and were taking the kit apart when Chicago realized they had to take the stage again. They ran the roadies off and started getting everything back together again, That's why they were messing with the drums at the beginning of the video.
