That's Peter Cetera you are looking for

That's not Peter Cetera on guitar that's Terry Kath who accidentally killed himself with a shotgun in 74' he was one of the greatest guitar players of all time before he died.

EARLY Chicago - this era - was awesome. They morphed, over time, understandably, but this early Terry Kath-driven band was IT

Jiminy Hendrix said his favorite guitarist. Terry Kath is a beast on the six string. Great voice too. All 3 singers do this song

True! There is an interview with here with James Pankow were he says Jimi came up to him and said "Your band is great! Your horns sound like one set of lungs (sounds like Jimi lol) and your guitar player is better than me!" Here it is here kzread.info/dash/bejne/qpN1mpqtprSuoaw.html

What is telling about it is after Jimi says that, he invites them to open for him on tour and they did. Here is JImi saying Terry is better yet he doesnt fear letting him open! A true artist!

Peter Cetera and you heard him sing 25 or 6 to 4.

This tour was my first concert. I aint been the same since! I recommend their opener called Introduction. It is exactly that. A song that gives you a taste of their diversity and whats to come. All of Chicago in one song. "Hey there everybody...please dont walk or roam..we're a little nervous....'cause we're so far from home...so this is what you do...sit back and let us groove and let us work for you!"

@@stevedahlberg8680 You know it! Perfection. I was just a teen. I think I grew up a little more after that. About 15 rows back and Terry was right in front of me. I had just started playing guitar! First time I smelled a certain weed burning. I remember noting how he had only one shoe on and the other just a sock on that he worked his wah pedal with. What a master!

@@stevedahlberg8680 Hey! I just checked your "Tickle Song". Sounds great! People should check it out! Nice Rockabilly vibe. Good job Steve! Subbed.

Guitar player Terry Kath (baritone) was called The White Ray Charles by his bandmates for his soulful voice. Tenor singer Peter Cetera on bass had his jaw wired shut for healing after he got beat up by some Marines in LA at a Dodgers game.

Lee (normally trumpet player) on wood block. Wally (saxophone) on tambourine. James (trombonist) on cowbell. Robert (keyboards) on Maracas. Peter (bass player) playing a triangle I think. Then Terry is playing the chords of the song, but deadening the sound to give it more of a rhythm feel. The song itself was written by a 16 year old Stevie Winwood and originally preformed by the Spencer Davis Group.

We will never have music or musicians like that again…

Sadly true...

You mentioned Beginnings and that's a great place to go next. Phenomenal song. The studio version is killer but I can't remember the Tanglewood performance. I'm sure it's fire!!! Yes, sir, more EARLY Chicago! ✌❤ PS the studio of I'm A Man is incredible also. A little diff from this live performance but worth a listen for sure. Even on your own time.

CTA - one of the best albums ever.

Just for the record, one of Jimi Hendrix's favorite bands.

Of course, Jimi opened up for the MONKEYS back in the day

Peter Cetera on Bass & vocals ( 4 thick strings on that Fender Bass vs Terry's 6 strings)

They became a different band after Terry died. Still churned out the hits,but they became more of a love song type of band.

That is Terry Kath who is also the other worldly lead guitar player. Next you have Robert Lamm and the Peter Cetera. All 3 sing lead at different points in the song. Yes Pete plays a mean bass guitar. CHICAGO gets my vote too !

Terry first, Peter second, Robert third on the vocals on this song

When you're looking for the difference between a guitar and a bass guitar, from my standpoint as someone who has played them both in bands a lot, I wouldn't focus on the neck so much as the headstock and look for for oversized tuning pegs, compared to 6 or 12 on a guitar. You should always also look at their right hand, in a right-handed World, anyway. If it's with a pick it will be harder to distinguish from Guitar, but if it's the fingers it still doesn't completely distinguish it until you match it all up but it's more likely it's going to be a bass guitar in that situation as well. But really I think you should always be looking at their playing hand as much if not more than their fingering hand if you really want to get a feel for how good they are.

Guitar is 6 or 12 strings. Bass is usually 4 strings. But there are 4,5 and 6 string versions

Real talent unlike most stuff that charts nowadays, any good bands left to play small venues. Electronic, voice sync, sampled to death 😣😭✌️

It is a cover from the Spencer Davis Group. That is why it is so familiar.

Back in the day, you heard it a million times on the radio and then bought the album so you could read the liner notes and learn the lyrics! I would have given anything for immediate internet access to the lyrics, but maybe it was the longer process that made it all so special and the concerts amazing

Well said.

It’s amazing this great music is over 50 years old….I live in a time warp when it comes to 60s and 70s music…..✌🏻🇺🇸

Their name was originally Chicago Transit Authority. They shortened the name to Chicago. The mayor of Chicago was going to sue the band for using the name of their transit system in Chicago.

The bass is a guitar it usually has 4 strings but some have 6-8

I bet they remind you of Spencer Davis Group 😁

Terry Kath, the guitarist, put this band together with of all the best musicians working in Chicago, IL at the time. That's why they adopted the name Chicago after a few iterations. Terry Kath is the most underrated guitarist, behind Prince. The bass player is Peter Cetera, he took over as the lead after Terry Kath died. This band, IMO, slowly died after Terry's death, eventually got rid of the horn section and had to hire 2 guitarists to replace him.

That percussion part has a strong Santana feel

Yes! Little salsa feel but also the bass groove

Chicago - Ballet For A Girl In Buchannon Tanglewood 1970 - You haven't heard the whole song. Just one part of it. A cutout called Make Me smile. Be sure it is 14 minutes because it was cut up by the record company. They spliced the beginning to the end and you can hear it once you know.

Favorite band of all time and I’m only 28. So much to listen to. Dialogue I think is their best song. Make sure you get the full version if you ever decide to listen!

I always thought Terry Kath the lead guitarist sounds like Ray Charles He is the lead singer on Make Me Smile.Peter plays bass sang lead on "25 or 6 to 4"

Great cover version of Spencer Davis Group original

Bro-- the studio version is jaw-dropping as well. You are only at the beginning of your amazement with Chicago. The first 5 albums (4th one is live) have great tunes! Keep going... T

Get to hear all three lead singers. (Terry then Peter then Robert) Horn section playing percussion. Robert abandons the keys for maracas! Essentially a guitar, bass and drums and a whole ton of fun!

Saturday in the Park. !!!!!!

Wow!!! I knew the song, but have never seen this performance. Amazing! May I suggest Grand Funk Railway performing "Inside Looking Out" - live 1969. There were only 3 band members, but that didn't stop them! Lol.

Thank you for your reaction to this great band. Keep up the great work🎸🥁👍

Chicago was a fucking POWERHOUSE!! 🔥 🔥🔥🔥

White boys stole the blues and jazz and took it next level. This was called getting it on, this is what my generations' music was all about, glad you like it.

You need to watch the Tanglewood performance of Ballet for a girl in Buckhannon. A great medley

Chicago is such a great band, I love all their music. Thank you.

Danny Seriphan on drums. Without a Keith Moon Or Neal Pert (who ever the Drummer for Rush was)..instead it looks more like a Sears Starter kit. He pulled so much music out of that little set it is unbelievable. I am a man, was rarely played on the car radio. But when they did, they dubbed it "the greatest rock and roll arrangement in the world. Because it was Chicago's" only cover song. Or was. (Steve Winwood and the Spencer Davis group were the OG) Always liked Chicago's the best. By the way, the two times I saw them, 1972 and 1973, I'm a Man was the Encore Song..and their Live at Carnegie Hall Album. My guess this was the case at Tanglewood.

The bridge on a guitar is centrally located. The bridge on a bass is at the extreme edge of the body

Please do Chicago Dialogues part one and two live from 1975 you’ll see a good deal of Terry and Peter going back-and-forth on the vocals And if you wanna see Peter when he was at his best and the vocals listen to 80s Chicago like hard to say I’m sorry you’re the inspiration hard habit to break all of those songs

You really can't get much better than that. "I'M A MAN" and then a drum circle.... Back in the day bands would do several encores and here there was one more song.... If you search YT for Chicago Tanglewood the entire concert is available. It's about 1.5 hours and the sound is a little better.

Usually a Bass guitar has four strings where a regular guitar has 6. It makes it easier if you look at the head where the tuning knobs are.

Bestcowbell every

70's were an amazing time to grow up (musically speaking)...Chicago used to tour all the time..usually paired with somebody like Doobie Bros...tickets were like $6..

You definitely have to check out the Pixies but, if you don't mind going back just a few years before that, and this was in the context of gang of four, post-punk from Britain which was huge, I don't know if you are familiar or not but you probably should be, The Au Pair. Four people in the band, the two women up front and the two guys behind them. Lots of great songs, some of them quite activist, but just had this simplistic minimal quality that really rocked when they combined it with the force of their personalities. A great starting point with them is Armaugh Jail. Or, It's Obvious. Or, America. Great starting point for gang of four is Anthrax.

terry had an awesome voice

Loving your dive into Chicago. All I can say is more, more, MORE

A guitar has 6 strings and a bass only has 4.

Yeah...everybody grab some percussion...Hit something 😂😂😂❤

At least in this particular live segment, Peter Cetera is kind of reminding me of Sly of Sly and the Family Stones.

their first three releases were double albums and the forth was a live box set of 4 records called Live at Carnegie Hall... their first single album was Chicago V...Every album had a huge poster included......you must start with "Chicago Transit Authority"

Terry Kath; the first singer; has been described as the "white" James Brown.

I got a fever...

Me too

Rad version bro . Thanks for your appreciation of brilliance .

yea his mic turned down too low for sure- in the video for this song which is in black and white if you watch it on the side you can fully hear his voice

I recommend taking a listen to "Make me Smile" next. Is the voice your trying to think of Ray Charles?

Bro if you look at the headstock of the guitar it has 6 tuners and the small compared to the 4 on the bass.BTW what made the song great for me back in the day (I’m 68) was the primal rhythms it bangs out.

Bass 4 strings Guitar 6

Please do MAKE ME SMILE .featuring Terry Kath who sings like Ray Charles ..!!!

Great reaction! Keep on going with them. They have so much more you’ll love!

Amazing! Both the song and your reaction, bruh! ❤

Another great video. Keep it up, and thank you!

If you want fast pace with great horn arrangements. This one might be your favorite Chicago song: "Now that you've gone " off Chicago V. I don't recommend just listening to this concert, because it was early when they only had 2 albums out by then. In an interview last year, Robert Lamm said one regret is they hardly ever filmed their concerts in the early years. They always killed it live and played 300 plus dates a year with concerts lasting 3 & 1/2 hours or more. They never missed a year of touring except for Covid. They are touring currently. The hardest working band around.

This is the Good Chi Town, before Terry died. After his teeth they became a pop love song band! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

You have probably heard 30 Chicago songs in your lifetime and didn't realize it

You're not alone. One of my favorite jams of all time. This version especially.

One day you just have to experience this whole concert it is just amazing so much fun

If this song dont make your body move in all sorts of ways then you might want to see if your still alive.❤❤❤❤

Exactly! bands like this would be too much of a risk nowadays because sheeple today can't handle real music with real instruments that has depth and substance like this music has. Nowadays they love mind-numbing mindless meandering repetitive robotic redundant beats that sound like you're listening to a clock tick that will dumb you down and give you a short attention span because repetition is an excellent form of mind control.🤪🐑🐑🐑

Now you need to react to Leonid and friends tribute to Chicago’s version , they are from Russia and will blow your mind .

Robert suggested good, thank him and thank you! South California Purples. Live at Carnegie Hall! Great Chicago song.

who knew that when you passed out percussion instruments (Kinda like music class in 2nd grade) to talented musicians you could come up with this sound.

Oliver Anthony - Rich Men North Of Richmond it s damn good

Yes, Peter had an issue several years after Terry passed, becoming the main singer after sharing lead vocals with Terry.. Peter had a change in his voice as he got older which was out of his control, but eventually settled with the change and put out hit records and also a huge solo career.

Beginnings is great, studio or Tanglewood. Please, please do Ballet for a Girl in Buchanon " from Tanglewood. He'll, do the album version too. It contains Make Me Smile within it. It is a suite of 7 songs

SOME MORE OF THEIR SONGS FROM TANGLEWOOD ARE; DOES ANYBODY REALLY KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS?, I DON'T WANT YOUR MONEY, MOTHER, AND MANY OTHERS....Tanglewood is a music venue and festival in the towns of Lenox and Stockbridge in the Berkshire Hills of western Massachusetts. It has been the summer home of the Boston Symphony Orchestra since 1937...ENJOY!!!!

4 strings bass (normally) 6 strings guitar (normally)

I’m sure that wasn’t the end of the show. They came back to do an encore. I’m old, so I was almost 6 when they performed this. I enjoyed it for the first time along with you.

It would be great if you make a reaction of Blood Sweat and tears. They are amazing too

This is definitely a must-see and must experience but I have to agree with the other comment the studio version is really crisp and you'll like it You should check it out

Peter reminds me of Curtis Mayfield in this number. Yes it's a base. Usually have seen a woman blues person use an 8 and another a 12th. They had 3 lead singers! Sometimes on the same song.

MMBxMOB would love Santana's Soul Sacrifice.

Mic level was too low on Peter Cetera here. :(

Your thinking of Ray Charles that Terry sounds like!!!

Terry Kath is so under appreciated. Man, he went too soon.

Do yourself a favour and look-up the original version of this song by The Spencer Davis Group, find out who the singer is and how old he was when he wrote and performed the song.

Next has to be Beginnings

FIND "I'M A MAN" BY BLACK STROBES...EXCELLENT COVER👍👍👍👍😍😍😍😍😎😎😎😎😎🎸🎸🎸

Sounds like Peter Cetera

PLEASE SIR DO MANDRELL YOU WON'T REGRET IT TRUST ME... PLEASE!!!

Bass-- usually has 4 strings but some have 5 or 6. Tal Wilkenfeld uses a 5 string in Chelsea Hotel tal wilkenfeld. There is a 6 string in - I will have to give you a link because She has wildly different versions so use the link. -- Hiromi's Sonicbloom - Time Out LIVe kzread.info/dash/bejne/fYCH17WwfLLcaMY.html&start_radio=1&rv=KLSuSwLOv8c

Oliver Anthony - Rich Men North Of Richmond it s gonna get you straght to the guts

I hope you don’t do the studio version as well. The sound is a lot more crisp.

great song... great reaction. have you reacted to SANTANA- 'Soul Sacrifice" Live at Woodstock. kzread.info/dash/bejne/qnZ7mKuag7SpoLg.html They also did one at Tanglewood. but the Woodstock story of their performance is legendary..... check it out. The drummer is HIGH AF...... and Carlos Santana said that he felt his guitar was a snake writhing in his hands...he was so HIGH as well. BUT the performance is nuts!!!!

Sometimes the sound guy just isn’t paying attention 🤷‍♂️
