Terry Kath is seriously one of the most underrated guitarist EVER. Jimi Hendrix absolutely admired him. Terry's solo in this Tanglewood 25 or 6 to 4 performance, solidifies him has an extraordinary guitarist. Chicago was never ever the same after he died. The musical soul of Chicago dissolved. He was a real gift to music.

He was the heart and soul of Chicago, who were never the same after a self-inflicted accidental gun shot killed him about 8 years after this performance. He is a legend.

This is an amazing live performance. So glad you did this one. Terry Kath (guitarist) had a style all his own and the sound of Chicago really changed after his tragic death. The horn section in the band also helped to give a lot of their songs from this era such a unique and distinctive sound. The horn section in this band is a trumpet, a saxophone, and a trombone. In terms of the title, I have always heard the time as a commentary on the wee hours of the morning. The lyrics are about the difficulty of writing a song (so it's a commentary on the art of songwriting) and it's obvious that the songwriter is up very very late--at one point he says, "waiting for the break of day." So I have always heard it to mean 25 or 6 to 4 (in the morning); otherwise known as 3:34 or 3:35 am. Great reaction!

Songwriter Robert Lamm had writer's block. Much of the clues are in the lyrics. "Searching for something to say." He's in his room, trying to come up with lyrics to a song and nothing is coming to him. It's 3:35 in the morning, he's been at it all night, and wondering if he should continue trying or to just give up. What he does instead is write down his thoughts at that moment, what he sees and hears outside, and notes the time: 25 or 26 minutes to 4AM. Put that all together with some killer music, and you've got yourself a major hit.

The horns are a trumpet, slide trombone, and a tenor saxophone. The saxophone is different from the others, as it doesn't have a mouthpiece like a trumpet or trombone. It has a mouthpiece with a thin, flat, replaceable part called a reed. It looks like wood, but it's made from a type of reed plant, and that thin vibrating reed is part of what gives woodwind instruments their unique sound.

Terry Kath, the Master 🎸❤ He rocks soulful vocals too. My favorite group of all time, lucky to have lived it live. ✌️

The horn trio is tenor sax, trombone and trumpet. I've seen them four times and that horn section has changed over the years but they have stayed true to the music. Tragically, Terry Kath, the lead guitar;; died during a gun accident in seventy six. He was the backbone of that band and it would never be the same without him. The studio version of this song was shortened for the album but Kath's playing is not diminished within.

EXCELLENT FIRST CHOICE!!! Chicago was touring their first album called "Chicago Transit Authority", which debuted in 1968, I know because I waited in line at the record store to get it. After Tanglewood, which is in south central Massachusetts, they came to Oakdale Theater in Wallingford, CT. in the summer of 70', I went to that show which is in a giant tent, they brought the house down and stunned the audience with a combination of jazz, rock, blues, with horns and one of the best guitar players at that time. The first 2 albums are similar in style and are my personal favorites, they were raw and untamed, the music just flowed on and on. No 3-4 minute AM radio songs, then they crossed over to a more commercial style with less horns and very little guitar and pushed the vocals with a lot of love songs. They have about 20 albums and multiple platinum albums. Enjoy.

I saw them perform this… in late 60s Or 1970… I sat in the front row! All those instruments, especially the horn section, ( plus his voice & that guitar solo) just blew me away!!! It was absolutely AMAZING!!!

Listening to this song you'd never guess Peter Voters would sing all those pop ballads later. Their most commercially successful music but boy, these days were the BOMB

Try "Introduction", the first song on their first album. It truly introduces you to them...

This was back in the day when musicians could actually play their own instruments, write their own songs and sing like that…. Without auto tune!

It's hard to believe that music in general used to be SO good, that at the time, this was just another song on the radio in the midst of an excellent musical landscape. Oh how far music has fallen. :(

my dad was always 'this is about an L train ' which I don't know if he was right but I know there are a lot of ideas about this song but he always thought it was about the L trains in Chicago since he lived there for a while. cheers .. one of the great live shows ever!@!!

Great tune by this group, I think he was wondering if he should write more music at 25 or 26 to four o'clock. They have 100 of songs to chose from. One of my favorites is South California Purple live from their album Chicago at Carnegie Hall and an "Hour in The shower" but all their radio play songs are great as well.

Jimi Hendrix saw them and went backstage after the show and said "I love your horn section and your guitar player is better than I am. How would you like to open for me?

Not having this music in your life is really sad to me, im glad some younger people are checking it out, in my opinion this is one of Terry Kaths finest moments and one of Rocks finest solos ever! This dude just had the Terry Kath Experience! 😂
