Chicago was one of those weird bands for me back in the 70's, especially playing bass in a hard rock band...the Sabbath, Zep, Stones genre....but my late mother, who was a brilliant pianist and music teacher, taught me a lot (other than my personal piano teacher) about harmony, melody and opening my eyed up to all types of music. Chicago was one of those bands, and the were no joke live. Saw them 3 times in Detroit, and admist all of the heavy metal and glam that came out, they were really refreshing, but potent with their talent level. Terry Kath, RIP, was one helluva guitar player, could play with the best of them. I 've always thought that "I Just Want to be Free" is another killer tune, but so many good ones!!

For me it's one of the most beautiful tunes of the whole R&R era. (Mid 50's thru about '95). There's still some real talent out there, but most of today's "artists" need auto-tune to sound even half way decent. Glad we did not have anything like that back in the day. Our singers had to actually be able to sing.

Guys: its a 10.00 Terry Kath warp 3 speed, tearing through scales while Peter Cetera wails out the lyrics is INSANE. Hendrix spoke of his TOURmates, Terry Kath, as the greatest living guitar player on Earth. That's because he, along with Jeff Beck and Peter Green WERE the best in the World. "The dude knew how to sing?" It's Peter Cetera *One of Rock's few true tenor's. Go back and listen to Kath soloing throughout the whole GD song. Then listen to Kath the entire song. It's possibly the most insane technical solo in Rock History.

One of the greatest guitar solos in the history of rock, recorded in 1970 when rock guitar was in its infancy and most everyone else was playing standard boxy blues riffs. Plus, 25 or 6 to 4 was a huge top 5 hit, and it was unheard of to have a lengthy solo like this on a hit pop song. Terry Kath was arguably the most underrated player of all- time and it was none other than Jimi Hendrix who was blown away by Terry’s playing. Chicago was an unknown band and opening for Albert King at a club in LA when Hendrix came backstage with Mitch Michell and praised the group and declared that Terry was better than him. That statement is often questioned by snooty guitar wankers, but Jimi backed it up by taking Chicago on the road as his opening act. This paved the way for Chicago’s instant success that resulted in 12 straight platinum albums in the 70’s alone. Unquestionably one of the greatest rock bands of all time, who defined the use of brass in rock. Dive into ANY one of Chicago’s albums during the Terry Kath era and you’ll discover a treasure trove of hard rock, pop, jazz, r&b, Latin, all with Chicago’s signature sound of incredible horns and amazing vocals. Oh, and plenty of great work by Mr. Kath as well. Enjoy!

Close. But this was written in the late 1960's. It's about an LSD trip. If you've ever taken LSD this describes the experience perfectly. Plus, I heard Robert Lamm explain what it meant back then. But you'll never get them to admit it now.

@moonlitegram 3 жыл бұрын

@@davidgagne3569 Why would they admit it back then but not now? There's far less stigma around drugs now than there was then. You're telling me in the era of CBS telling The Doors not to say the word "higher" on the Ed Sullivan show these guys had no issue admitting that it was about acid, but now 'they'll never admit it'. Sorry, not buying it. Plus he's said multiple times its about him being up 25 minutes to 4am, trying to write a song. And all the lyrics match up with that explanation perfectly.

@davidgagne3569 3 жыл бұрын

@@moonlitegram Actually people are a lot less likely to admit to LSD trips now. Pot everybody admits to but not acid. And Chicago has changed radically from when this song first was released. Their music lost the edge as they became a band that featured gentle love ballads for women. Finally, seasoned musicians are a lot more savvy about what they say to the press. A band that features mainly love songs for mom isn't going to be talking about acid trips.

Regarding the meaning of the song, Robert Lamm, founding member & keyboardist stated that he had been up all night writing, was exhausted and couldn't figure out if the time on the clock was 25 or 6 to 4 a.m. when he looked at it. He said the song is just about trying to write a song.

The joy I experienced in watching two young guys listening for the very first time to what for my generation (I'll be 64 in 3 weeks) was one of the defining rock songs was truly a pleasure. This song had the respect of everyone back in the day. Interesting that the first thing the guy on the right picked up on was the drumming (which was slamming) because to me this song is basically Terry Kath's manifesto. When I was a kid Terry Kath was considered one of the most potent forces playing guitar. His solo on this is one of the greatest on record. He was a monster talent whose life was cut way too short due to a stupid gun incident. He was the heart and soul of this band before he died and was irreplaceable. I never get tired of hearing this song.

Chicago has been around since the late 1960's and still giving us great and memorable music. They can rock at times and other times have some ballads and soft soothing music. This is an example of a song that rocks. Another group that sounds similar is BLOOD SWEAT AND TEARS.Some other songs by Chicago that you guys should give a listen to are: SATURDAY IN THE PARK, FEELIN' STRONGER EVERYDAY, BEGINNINGS AND WISHING YOU WERE HERE.

When Terry Kath, the guitarist, died in 1977, Chicago died with him; "25 or 6 to 4" Robert Lamm, the keyboard player, came up with the title when he finished writing the song and noticed the time (none of us really knew what it meant back in the '70s it was just a great song!).

@bostonvair 3 жыл бұрын

25 or 6 to 4 was a time. The keyboardist, Robert Lamm was writing this song in the wee hours of the morning and a lot of the lyrics were about the act of writing the song (waiting for the break of day,/searching for something to say). He needed something to finish the chorus and lookednat the analog clock and it was either 3:34 or 3:35 am (in other words 25 or 6 to 4). He didn't intend to leave those lyrics, but ended up doing so anyway.

"25 or 6 to 4" is a reference to the time of day -- when you go back to listen to the lyrics, it's about those deep conversations you have where you lose track of time and suddenly it's almost 4 in the morning -- well, 25 or 26 minutes until then, anyway. Do I go to sleep now? Do we keep this going? It's 25 or 6 to 4 a.m. ... I love the guitar solo in this track. Check out "Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is", "Make Me Smile" (the B-side to that, "Color My World", is arguably their first love song of the type Andy was referring to), "Beginnings", or "Saturday In The Park", though in my opinion you started with their best track. And if you want more songs with rock groups incorporating horn sections from around the same time, check out Blood, Sweat and Tears, particularly their songs "Spinning Wheel", "Lucrezia McEvil", and "You Made Me So Very Happy" (though my mother hated them and thought they were poseurs while she felt Chicago was genuine), and the Ides of March's "Vehicle". All from roughly that same time period, all of them clearly influenced by the Beatles song "Got To Get You Into My Life".

This song was recorded in August for the self titled album "Chicago". The album was released in January 1970 and this song was released as a single in June1970. The band is from Chicago and was originally known as 'Chicago Transit Authority'. The CTA is the name of the mass transit system of Chicago, IL. They threatened to legal action if the band didn't cease and desist using that name, so they shortened it to 'Chicago'. The name of their debut double album is Chicago Transit Authority, recorded January 27-30, 1969 and released April 28, 1969 on the Columbia Records label. It didn't do well at first but fortunately, this during the advent of FM radio and eventually it sold 2 million copies on its initial pressing. The impact of FM radio can not be understated, it is what was directly responsible for the explosion of album sales and relegated the 45 rpm disc to a marketing tool to initiate /invigorate album sales. This was the beginning of the Golden Age of the music business.

Chicago was a blues rock group driven by guitarist Terry Kath who Jimi Hendrix said Kath was the best guitarist in the world. When Kath died, the group lost it's soul and vocalist/ bassist Peter Cetera pushed the band towards love songs. The title 25 or 6 to 4, means 25 or 26 minutes to 4am, about a song writer wondering if he should stay awake and keep trying to write, or go to bed. Interestingly, at the time the song was recorded, Cetera had his jaw wired shut. You guys should check out the 25 or 6 to 4 live video from Tanglewood 1970. Kath's solo is extended and fantastic.

Chicago was one of the first “protest” bands of the late 60’s. College FM stations played their songs when AM radio at that time would not. I recommend “Make Me Smile” as your next song. It showcases the entire band and Terry Kath’s singing 👍

YES! Make Me Smile is an awesome song! This should be their next song to check out!

Guys, two words regarding love songs vs rock: Terry Kath. These great songs are of my generation, so glad you appreciate how phenomenal the music of that era is.
