They were unique and could get as hard as any band of the era and harder than most.

As someone who has played in bands my whole life, I love how the keyboard player gets up and goes over to help the drummer adjust his kit. And then Terry keeps the audience entertained by noodling around and then just as soon as he can tell the drummer is ready he starts turning his noodling around into that rhythmic beat that will open the song.

Yep, Terry Kath was one of the best, RIP. This song includes one of the top guitar solos of all time from Terry. Epic tune from a classic band.

One of the greatest things about this video is the beginning where the guy is still setting up as they start jamming. The whole show is freaking unbelievable!

Terry Kath a brilliant guitar and voice. RIP. Saw them for the first time in 75,what a concert performance.

Terry is so underrated as a player. The entire band is great. Love some Chicago.

Another band with a brass section is Blood, Sweat & Tears...you may want to check them out. Also Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) is one of those bands that incorporates instruments not typically found in Rock music such as Cellos and Violins. Although they have Cellists and a violinist on stage during live performances, the studio recordings use a 30 piece orchestra and choir. Try the instrumental "Fire On High" or "Evil Woman" for nice vocal arrangements off the Face The Music album.

This is one of the greatest live guitar solos ever. I was fortunate to see Chicago at Fillmore East a few weeks before the Tanglewood show. Terry Kath was on fire that night too. RIP guitar wizard.

Jimmy Hendrix favorite guitarist. When asked how it felt to be the greatest he said " ask Terry Kath "

The singer on this song is Peter cetera who also is their bassist. The other singers include Robert lamm, the keyboardist and Terry Kath, the guitarist.

Loved Chicago as a teenager! Today I am truly blown away by their talent.

The early Chicago Transit Authority was incredible. Terry Kath, the lead guitarist was one of the kings of the Stratacaster, or Telecaster, or anything he picked up. If you have time you might check out Grand Funk Railroad's live 1969 song "Inside Looking Out". Grand Funk Railroad was a three piece power band in the early years who added a member and changed the direction of their music much like Chicago did. The early music is their best. The song is a remake of the Animals 1966 song.

Thank you for enjoying Chicago! They are finally in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Years later I got to meet some of the members. Even after Terry Kath died and Peter Cetera left, they still played great concerts for decades. Very professional. ❤

Around the late ’60s, Chicago played a few shows with legendary guitarist Jimi Hendrix. Like pretty much everyone who came to see the band perform, Hendrix was mesmerized by Kath’s guitar playing, going so far as to claim that he thought the Chicago guitarist played six strings better than he did, naming Kath the “best guitarist in the universe”.

Losing Terry Kath in ‘78 was very sad time for guitar lovers!

Chicago's original lineup included James Pankow on trombone, Lee Loughnane on trumpet and Walt Parazaider on sax and woodwinds. His flute solo on "Colour My World" is probably his most famous flute performance, but he was also phenomenal with the flute on the multiple movement suites "It Better End Soon" and "Memories Of Love". All of those songs appear on Chicago's eponymous second album along with "25 Or 6 To 4".

This live version will blow you away. Especially Terry Kath on guitar.. amazing guitarist

Not sure why I keep watching this live performance, Robert is a bit of glue here, Terry is playing himself into another realm and Peter still acting like a lead singer, before his head inflated… horn section bringin in everyone..Danny just wants his drum kit set up correctly! I saw them live in concert right before we lost Terry, I’m so grateful to have seen him live!

The singer is Peter Cetera recovering from a broken jaw... yet still is amazing! He also plays bass. Danny Sarafine is the drummer, what ch him in the old black and white version of 'I'm a Man". Unreal! The brass is Lee Lochne on trumpet, Walt Parazader on sax and Jimmy Panko on trombone. Also Robert Lamm on keyboards. The guitar legend is Terry Kath. Who passes from an accidental gunshot to the head in 1978. Chicago was NEVER the same. TERRY sand bass/baratone, Peter sang Tenor and Robert had that smooth mid voice. Together they were like no other. ❤ Jodi (Est. 1962)

You should definitely checkout Blood Sweat and Tears -- they were another very popular band for whom the horn section was integral; front and center, like Chicago. They didn't necessarily *sound* like Chicago, but they were *very* jazz and blues flavored. They had some phenomenal players. Both bands even had a common producer in James Guercio during their early careers.

The 70s were so groovy. I was 12 when this happened. Just getting started.

Chicago has always been one of my favorite groups. I just love all the horns, and they are just so amazing. Come to think of it, just about any group I can think of with the same name as a state or city in America is amazing.

This was performed in July 1970...over 53 years ago....let that sink in. It was my first album purchased from money I earned selling Grit Newspapers at 12 years old, and I wore out the album.

One of the best live performances

There is an excellent documentary you can watch for free on KZread called “Chicago: The Terry Kath Experience”. It’s all about Terry’s life and death, as well as the story of Chicago. One of the best documentaries on a musician you’ll see.

Yes,yes,yes!!!,perfect band,out of the world!!!.congratulation!

When a reporter asked Jimi Hendrix how it felt to be the worlds greatest guitarist he replied " You'll have to ask that cat in Chicago". They played my high school graduation dance. WHEELING HIGH CLASS OF '69 WHEELING,ILLINOIS.

If I were coming in fresh to check out Chicago, I’d start at the beginning: first song on the first album. Album is ‘Chicago Transit Authority’; song is “Introduction”, and that’s just what it is. Written by guitarist Terry Kath, it rotates through the different styles the band uses. The musicianship is incredible, the song is astonishing. The whole album is astonishing. How many bands do you know that release a double album for their debut? Start with “Introduction” and keep going! Just a suggestion. Thank you!

Thanks buddy.

In the late 60's to the mid 80's there were only a few bands with this kind of sound. Chicago was the best known. They were straight ahead rock n roll, Blood Sweat and Tears who were more of a jazz/blues style of rock, and in Canada we had a group called Lighthouse they were more of a soft rock n roll group. Their hits included "Sunny Days" "One Fine Morning" "Little Kind Words" "Broken Guitar Blues" and many more.

Their later album without horns was produced by David Foster. He added strings. They felt lost. Peter Cetera left so the group had to reinvent themselves. Today, with the same 3 horn players and keyboardist still perform with newer people as members.

Not sure how many times I've watched this one but it's always a great as the first time. Terry is simply amazing, this solo is a great example. I actually watched a lot of this concert last night (again). Unfortunately Chicago just wasn't the same after the loss of Terry Kath. If you haven't already, check out "The Terry Kath experience". (If you like great horns in a funk rock band, check out "Here Come the Mummies". Something very different from the norm)

"Blood, Sweat, and Tears". Great rock band with horns.

Here are a few more great horns: " Heart of Rock & Roll" by Huey Lewis and the News with the Tower of Power Horns ( saw them live in the 80's.) Bob Seger's great friend who was amazing on Sax: Alto Reed. In addition, David Bowie and Eddie Money both played Sax. Styx uses brass and Daryl Hall & John Oats' incredible sax player Charles DeChant ( check out the video of "Maneater. Back in the 60's and 70's , The Rolling Stones had Bobby Keys on "Brown Sugar" and a bunch of other songs. There's a bunch for you to check out. Love your reactions.

I love your CUBS baseball cap. I saw Chicago live back in the 70s. Their first album was Chicago Transit Authority, but, they had to drop the Transit Authority off because of politics, and now it's just Chicago. Enjoy your channel. Thank you.

Some years ago Terry's daughter made a movie about he dad (Terry Kath)..........for you who didn't know. To me it's more like the first record (Chicago Transit Authority) is more like a Terry Kath record. He don't get so much space for his guitar on the records they are named just Chicago.

About the time this song came out Chicago was playing at the Whiskey, and a guy came up to one of them and said, you're drummer is great , and your guitar player is better than me. It was Jimi Hendrix. He loved them. When a lot of young guitar players would feel threatened and competitive, Jimi was different. Heard that before? Jimi invited them on tour with him.

My favorite guitar solo of all time

Never gets old

Terry Kath - one of the greatest, most underrated guitarists ever, tragically died young by a completely unintentional self-inflicted gunshot wound. RIP Terry. You are missed. And he says, "Terry Kath" not, "Take care" at the end.

Loved your reaction. Subscribed. Hey from Carmen in North Carolina 🇱🇷

Three of them were singers. Maybe four. But the one you really need to hear is also that guitar player. Check out, "Make Me Smile"

At 3:35 or 3:34 in the AM while writing and playing a future song Coked out . They tried to decide on continuing doing coke or going to bed . Hence 25 or 6 to 4 ... Told by Terry Kath's wife who was there .

Jimi said Terry played better than himself.. and invited band to tour/ open for him.. I’m old.. but I missed that tour..

Jimi Hendrix said Terry Kath was his favorite guitarist.

Terry Kath was amazing.

How the F does a guy in a janitor suit kick so much guitar ass?? He just does.. bro.. check out the whole tanglewood set even though this is the apex of goodness the rest of the live is similarly great .. freaking old school Chicago is mind blowinging RIP Terry Kath

Good choice for a reaction. They were my favorite band growing up as a teen in the 70's. You're right, the horns in a rock band made them stand out from most of the other bands. There are a lot of good choices from all of their early albums.

I saw them twice in concert.

If you love brass instruments, then you should check out Madness, or just about any group during the SKA period in the 90s. But Madness was well before the SKA times, and they were amazing.

Black Country New Road are a contemporary rock band whose member include a saxophonist/flutist and Violinist. One of the better bands out right now.

Yeah, good call on doing this version also.

Check out the live version of "I'm So Happy" You'll love it!

Another band with a great horn section Blood, Sweat and Tears with "Lucretia Macevil"

And actually it is a horn section not a brass section. It's got a trumpet, a trombone, and a saxophone, looks to me like an alto sax. Those guys are such a key part of the band and Chicago is known for their horn section especially in the early years. They have so much good material from back then, but I would recommend Feeling Stronger Every Day, I have a feeling you would really enjoy it.

If you want brass section look for this: Pink Floyd - Atom heart mother Miles Davis - Right off, Miles runs the voodoo down, All blues, So what Frank Zappa - Peaches en regalia, The grand wazoo, Waka Jawaka, Eat that question, Don't eat the yellow snow suite, Inca roads, Little umbrellas King Crimson - Lizard, Starless, Epitaph, I talk to the wind Soft Machine - Penny Hitch Janis Joplin - Summertime live in Stockholm 1969, Kozmic blues, Maybe, John Coltrane - Greensleeves, My favourite things

So if you like the sound of brass, take a moment to listen to big band sound. They old bands had to have a big, full sound. Most bands played live in big halls because all of the crowd danced to the music. So these bands had to fill these rooms with a lot of sound. Just take listen, now you won't like the tempo of their theme songs, its more subtle. Glad you've had a chance to hear my music that I grew up with. Keep hearing good music.

Terry wasn’t from this planet!!! Wow!!

You should watch the entire Tanglewood concert. Every song complete banger. Dig your channel. When you get a chance watch Gary Moore " Messiah Will Come Again". Will blow your mind.

Have you listened to Mad Dogs and Englishmen live? Joe Cocker, Leon Russel and both of their entire bands and back up singers. Very interesting story on how the whole thing lined up and how they lost a ton of money on that concert but it's so awesome. There's a ton of talent involved. I bought the DVD as soon as I found out it existed.

Pull up Only You Know and I Know or the whole set is good.

The horn section of Chicago came from Depaul U. so they were highly trained musicians. Jimi Hendrix said of Terry Kath (guitar player) that he was the greatest guitar player in the universe. This was no garage band. They spent their beginning time playing motown classics because that's what you had to do to get hired by clubs back then. There was no equivalent band to them music wise. Too bad Terry Kath died at a young age. They became a lot more of a love song band after he passed on.

You love the brass, you have to check out the group Chase!

Ever hear the flute with a rock band? Try some live Jethro Tull, YOU WILL LOVE THEM ❤!

A reporter asked Jimi Hendrix how it felt to be the world's greatest guitarist? Hendrix responded: "I don't know, why don't you ask the guy from Chicago?"

Okay, so this is officially a binge & I'm off to the next......

Yeah, this song is awesome today. I believe they opened for Jimi Hendrix's "Band of Gypsies in" 1969. But, it's terrible that Terry Kath (Jimi Hendrix proclaimed him better) got messed up on drugs and accidently killed himself with gun play.

You can go through the first album titles Chicago Transit Authority and then Chicago 2 and 3 are all based albums like this.
