I love watching Terry Kath play. He isn't simply playing his guitar or trotting out well worn exercise patterns, he BECOMES the guitar. He IS the guitar. His mind absolutely disappears into the music and the guitar simply becomes an extension of what is going on in his head at the time. His hands just do what he is playing in his head as to how it ought to go or sound right here and he's already a dozen steps ahead of you before it registers in your brain what just happened, what he just pulled off with the ease of a flame thrower toasting a marshmallow. The really elite musicians don't seem to care if they walk on stage wearing whatever they put on that morning to measure up to some critical standard of a "professional." They don't really even seem to care if anyone is watching them, or try to show off this or that move or repetitiously exhaust exercise scales with B-S antics to impress the fans who just jump on musical band wagons as a method of including themselves in whatever is popular today. Terry just puts his head down and becomes the music. When experienced guitar players, hear what TK is doing with his instrument, and while listening, trying to imagine, trying to figure out, or simply attempting to follow what is emanating out of him, we just put our guitars away, sit down, watch intently, and try to soak up as much of the energy he is throwing off to absorb the feeling with him. His aura just seems to blast out of his guitar and cover you with an incredible blanket of supernatural oneness with the music. He deconstructs and reconstructs his guitar in patterns and ways that are alien to mere mortals and shares his pure natural genius without quarter. To those who understand, receive, contemplate, become jealous of, admire, and stand in awe of Terry Kath, he is in a class all by himself. If music is what feelings sound like, Terry Kath IS music.

I didn’t believe her but gave her my phone number. Sure enough she came through. Unbelievable to be that close to the stage. Those two concerts were 1973 and 1974. Then I saw Chicago again at Schaefer Stadium (old Patriots stadium) in Foxboro, MA when they toured with The Beach Boys in 1975 plus Fleetwood Mac and a few other bands. Unbelievable concerts.

The brilliance of Chicago and Terry Kath in particular, was how they blended musical genres using an unparalleled mastery of instruments and composition. Listen closely to their music and it's obvious they were devout students of all aspects of the discipline. Little wonder that no less than Hendrix himself declared a sincere appreciation for what he did with the guitar. A troubled soul perhaps, but an amazing artist no question. Rest in peace Brother Kath.

Comment The rumor about Jimmi Hendrix goes like this (clipped from Rolling Stone Magazine concerning Terry’s tragic death): “One key piece of Kath lore was when Jimi Hendrix once told Parazaider after a Chicago gig at L.A.’s Whisky a Go Go that “your guitar player is better than me.” “They were opening up for Jimi Hendrix when they were still Chicago Transit Authority,” says Sinclair. “They spent a lot of time on the road together and apparently hung out a lot then. Guercio said that when they were at the same festivals, they had a nice relationship together.” Anyway, that’s where the legend comes from, but we’ll never know if it’s true, besides, Hendrix wasn’t an arrogant type to say, “Hey, I, better than Kath!”, so even if he said it, doesn’t mean it’s true. Sometimes artists aren’t aware of their talent and it seems very unprofessional to boast yourself above another, so they usually compliment each other. Music is an art and not an athletic competition, so by what criteria does anyone judge best in an art? As a musician (guitarist) I know that that I magnify every little mistake or miscue I may make any given night, ones no one else ever heard, so we can be super critical of our own abilities, but look at others in a different light. I’ve heard an interview with the super musician of Rush, where they claim they each make as many mistakes every night to be tolerant of each other and not over critical. I have seen those guys more than 25 times live and if they’re making mistakes, they’re the only ones who know about it. Hendrix may well have given such a compliment since so many other greats, from Clapton to Walsh have praised Kath to the heavens. Kath also had a very soulful R&B voice, kind of reminiscent of the late, great Jimmy Dewar. …And that’s a hell of a compliment because Dewar had vocal chords made of velvet. The air just slid across them with little resistance.

Man, the more I study Gary Kath’s playing the more intimidated I become. He was absolutely fearless. He really was the greatest.

So so under-rated kick ass band better than most today

That 3 piece horn section is second to none. No sour notes anywhere! Terry had such a soulful voice.

Sorry, but this concert is full of sour notes from the trumpet player. The only flaw in this otherwise terrific concert.

How did Peter Cetera dislike the horns in their songs? They made the band.

Loughnane did not have a very good night. . Lots of fracking plus several high notes he never attempted. Just left them out. But I get it. Brass players chops can let you down at any time.

I never get enough of their first four albums. Unbelievable. Anything more groundbreaking?

Terry was amazing.I heard Jimi Hendrix said he was the greatest guitarist in the world

I only wish there were WAAAAAY more Chicago tracks with Terry on vocals

THE GREATEST BAND EVER !

There will never be another like Terry Kath, a voice like I never thought possible. Combine him with the superb talent of each musician in Chicago and the result was magic. After Terry's passing, the band was not the same. RIP Terry, I'm sure Heavens music is even better with you there. To this very day you are sorly missed. Much love and respect. ✝️

One of the best love songs ever.

As a drummer when young, I practiced to Chicago more than any other band or songs. When ask if I could take lessons from anyone, I chose Chicago's drummer, Danny Seraphine. There's a reason for that. Listen.

I saw Chicago 3 days before Terry died. I always see him in the Minnesota North Stars jersey he wore on stage...in Toronto of all places. When I heard the news I couldn't believe it. I still can't.

A MONSTER BAND...INSPIRED ME 50 YEARS AGO TO FLEE MY COUNTRY AND START MY ROCK ADVENTURE.....NO REGRETS !!!!

Terry's voice is probably my favorite all time !

Kath was amazing...wow...music back then, live, stellar! Early Chicago killed it!

This has to be one of the most powerful songs I've ever heard. I just wish I was older so I could have heard it in the intended era.

My god what a talent, truly one of the very best rock guitarist!!!!! He’s on the same level as Rory Gallagher, Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy page in my opinion.

WONDERFUL performance of an iconic ensemble.....amazingly recorded by an audience member....a 1 camera shoot in 1970....terrific...

Holy shit. That's a lot of energy on stage right there.

I'm 46, and grew up listening to Chicago quite a lot. It's really only the last few years I've really come to fully appreciate everything they bring. In particular Terry Kath and his guitar playing and singing. It's mind blowing, and I only wish I could have developed my baritone voice to anything approaching his ability. Just astounding.

Greatest, most underrated guitar player ever!!

Love the horn lines!!!!

God, listen to Terry's voice and guitar still blows me away today. He was and is #1 with me. 💙

Great Terry Kath, amazing !!!❤

Terry Kath the total Monster of Rock package. The world misses you

Thanks dad for introducing me to Chicago

My God, these guys were great. There was a club band out of the mid west in the 70s, Common People, that did a lot of Chicago very well. The guitars and bass would play horns in one hand and fret the guitars with the other. Unforgettable.

James Pankow is a genius!

It's almost unfair for one man to have so much talent.

Terry Kath is a virtuoso guitar player and has a phenomenal, soulful voice. Also like this band with the original drummer Danny Seraphine, too. Love Danny's jazz chops on them skins.

Kath was so good. It's a real shame he was gone so soon.
