What's amazing is that whereas all Chicago members came from the immediate area, the great tribute band called Leonid & Friends, who emulate the Chicago sound perfectly with regard to vocals, as well as instruments that exceed Chicago's Band, had Leonid having to scour all of Russia and Ukraine for consummate artists to produce the sound Chicago produced.

Perhaps the greatest AMERICAN musical talent assembled, but there are/were a half dozen British/European bands from that era whose talent dwarfed the bands most played on US radio. YES, Zeppilin, Floyd, Tull, King Crimson, Who, ELP, Supertramp, Queen, Focus, Moody Blues, Alan Parsons...not to mention the goddamb Beatles! The best (white) US bands OTE were Chicago, Steely Dan, Frank Zappa and the Mothers, Grand Funk Railroad, Jefferson Airplane/Starship and (arguably) Kansas. (and yes, FUCK the goddamb Eagles!!!) Significantly more talented and musically influential were black US artists such as Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Little Richard, Sly Stone, Curtis Mayfield, Isaac Hayes, Michael Jackson, and Maurice White/EWF,

Prime example of what we got to grow up listening to. Chicago, Yes, Zeppelin, Boston...and the variety was incredible...America, Bread, Doobies, Skynyrd, singer songwriters like Harry Chapin, James Taylor, Jim Croce, Paul Simon, Joni Mitchell, Judy Collins...to just scratch the surface! We were definitely spoiled, but we will always have this music to remember it all. Thanks for reacting and, please, check out the entire Tanglewood concert of Chicago from 1970. Terry Kath was not only a beast on the guitar but an incredible vocalist as well. He and Peter Cetera, one of the all-time great Bass palyers, were both great singers as was Robert Lamm. That concert is an amazing capture of the talent on display every time this band performed.

It’s challenging to explain to those who didn’t grow up in the 1970’s how critical these songs were to our lives, our childhoods. It does my heart a lot of good to see young folk rediscovering the 1970’s. Keep in mind, young folks. If you see an old fart like myself listening to some 1970’s music with tears in our eyes, just know that were not crazy. Were just reliving some childhood nostalgia. 🍻 EWM

The comparison to Zeppelin is a fair one, because the chord progression is the same and its in the same key (A minor), and yet they are still two very different songs.

I was 13 when the Beatles were on the Sullivan show. The world changed for black & white TV to Technicolor. All that came after the British Invasion was progression on the basics, sex-drugs & rock & roll. Disco nearly killed rock in the 70's but led by ZZ Top and Stevie Ray Vaughan it stayed alive. It died the day MTV switched off music videos and went strictly to rap in 1989.

I would strongly suggest you listen to there first album which was a double album and I would start with the first song on side 1, it's called "Introduction" . This record introduces the listener to a variety of different types of music, as well as each of the band members doing a solo. I know you will love this. BTW, the song 25 or 6 to for was written about writing a song at 25 or 26 minutes to 4:00 AM. Just in case you were wondering. Great reaction, loved it. Peace Bill.

What drew me to this video? Simple: you reacting to one of the best songs from the best era of my favorite band in the history of EVER!! They had it all: great music and lyrics, three incredible lead vocalists, a straight fire horn section, a phenomenal drummer (after whom I patterned all my drumming technique as a young drummer), and possibly the most criminally underrated and underappreciated guitar player of all time. Jimi Hendrix, for whom Chicago opened in their very early years, once told one of their horn players "Your guitar player is better than me." Please, please react to my favorite Chicago song, "Make Me Smile." You'll get more of that amazing horn section, Danny's fantastic drumming, Terry's insane guitar skills, and also his "white Ray Charles" lead vocals. You'll love it!!

@submandave1125 Ай бұрын

The point I hear few mention is how the record solo and the Tanglewood solo are completely different. Usually a musician will reuse licks from the recording, or even completely replicate it, but Kath was capable and confident enough to lay down a brand new solo that would have been just as 🔥 if it had been on the record.

Chicago 2 was my introduction to Chicago in 1970, I was only 5. This album is superb from start to finish, no fillers! Make Me Smile is my absolute favorite Chicago song, Terry Kath on lead vocals and crazy guitar work! 25 or 6 to 4 is pretty much what most people gravitate to. It's a great song, but my favorite is In The Country! In 25 or 6 to 4, it's Peter Cetera on Lead Vocals and Bass Guitar. My favorite lead vocalist, though, is Terry Kath (R.I.P.), we lost him way too soon, and his rhythm and lead guitar on this song is phenomenal! Robert Lamm on keyboards and lead vocals. Danny Seraphine on drums. The horns: James Pankow on trombone, Walter Parazaider on woodwinds, and Lee Louchnane on trumpet. Chicago was the first group as a 5 year old in 1970 that I really loved and appreciated! The first 5 albums in my collection: Chicago 2, Spyro Gyra Catching The Sun, Little River Band with Sleeper Catcher, Boston's debut, Kansas with Leftoverture. Soon after that, Styx with The Grand Illusion, Journey with Departure, and ACDC's Back In Black.

For me.... "Introduction" on Chicago Transit Authority is their MASTERPIECE. But Kath's work on this is beyond OUTSTANDING!

In my opinion, this is their best song. Nobody makes music like this anymore!

Chicago was my favorite band growing up in the 70’s. I had all their albums and saw them many times. I was devastated when I heard about Terry Kath’s death. I read Danny Serafina’s book and found out more detail about what happened to Terry. All these years later, no other artist’s death has affected me as much. I hope Terry is jamming with Jimi Hendrix in Heaven.

Saw them in concert twice in my life, once back in 1975 and again last summer. I swear it seemed like a lot of the same people were at both concerts!

This song is getting played at my funeral. I have it all planned out: it will be a 10-minute ceremony. For four minutes anyone can come up and try to think of something to say about me--good or bad. For the last six minutes, 25 or 6 to 4 is going to send me off. After the last note has faded, the six or seven people (priest included) who showed up can have a buffet on my me.
