Yes, the original seven. Terry Kath - guitar & vocals, Peter Cetera - bass & vocals, Robert Lamm - keyboards & vocals, Danny Seraphine - drums, Walter Parazaider - saxophone (and flute), Lee Loughnane - trumpet, Jimmy Pankow - trombone. Terry Kath passed away in 1978, so 1980s Chicago was completely different.

By the way, there are those who say that 25 or 6 to4 is a drug reference. In a 2013 interview, Robert Lamm said he composed "25 or 6 to 4" on a twelve-string guitar with only ten strings - it was missing the two low E strings - and that he wrote the lyrics in one day. The band first rehearsed the song at the Whisky a Go Go.[2] Lamm said the song is about trying to write a song in the middle of the night. The song's title is the time at which the song is set: 25 or 26 minutes before 4 AM (twenty-five or [twenty-]six [minutes] to four [o’clock]), i.e. 03:34 or 03:35.[3][4] Because of the unique phrasing of the song's title, "25 or 6 to 4" has been interpreted to mean everything from a quantity of illicit drugs to the name of a famous person in code.[

Can't believe I am just now seeing your first reaction to Chicago (I've followed the channel for a couple of years). This is one of the greatest recordings of the entire era. Peter Cetera's voice on this is incredible. Terry Kath's guitar playing was other-worldly. In fact the great Jimi Henrix once said that Terry was "better the me" and was also heard saying that Kath was "the greatest guitar player in the universe." That tells you all you need to know about TK. Then, of course those stellar horn parts...unlike anything being payed at the time on hit radio and really set the band apart as something completely unique. The drums, the vocals, Peter Cetera's bass playing...all among the best ever. Loved watching you discover these things for the first time.

The lyrics: they were sitting on the floor after a gig. It was almost 4:00 AM. So, one guy says, what time is it? The other guy says 25 or 6 to 4:00. All the rest of the lyric falls into place. "Feeling like aught to sleep" and "getting up to splash my face" and "wanting just to stay awake" and "giving up I close my eyes". See? All the other lyrics then make sense. It's 25 to 4. No, it's 25 or 6 to 4:00.

As someone from the city by the lake, I'm glad to see your reactions to this! This song is from the 70s, and were originally called "Chicago Transit Authority" until the real CTA caught wind and asked them to change the name, so it was shortened to just "Chicago." Also, this song is ironically about songwriting - incredibly meta song. The title is in reference to being up all night and not knowing what time it is anymore, lol. If you enjoyed this, may I recommend "Chicago- Saturday In The Park."

The song is about the lead singer having a writer's block and being unable to write a song. The title "25 or 6 to 4" is in reference to him recognizing the time of the morning it was and how long he had been working on the song. Think of it as 25 or 26 minutes to 4 am

This is the greatest/ most difficult/ most spectacular single pick guitar solo of all time........ Yes, and IT'S NOT EVEN CLOSE: but listen to the first verse: those guitar scales coming at lightning speed during Peter Cetera's 1st verse vocals almost sound like a tuba-ish type horn thing---but are actually Terry Kath's guitar--of 1 lone pick!! But this one is so hard. not metal finger clanging... --Kath is the classic rock GOAT. And this song and "Introduction" are the signature examples. Cetera's vocal performance is rare epic male vocalist in the tenor range.

The story behind the song "25 or 6 to 4 is is that Chicago needed one more song to finish their second album. The various members of the group were all sitting around the studio, trying to come up with one more song, but they were all too tired to be very creative. They'd been working all day since early the previous morning, and now it was in the middle of the night. At which point Robert Lamm (the keyboardist) turned to James Pankow (one of the trombone players) and asked, "What time is it, anyway?" Pankow replied that it was "25, maybe 26 minutes to 4 o'clock" (in the morning). Lamm was thus inspired to write a song about being up until Oh-God-Thirty in the morning, trying to write one last song to fill an album. And one of Chicago's biggest hits was born. About Terry Kath, Chicago's lead guitarist, there's a legend. Supposedly, Jimi Hendrix was once asked "How does it feel being the best guitarist in the world?" According to the legend, Jimi responded, "I don't know. Ask Terry Kath." No one knows if its true or not, but its a great story.
@markinman8156 3 жыл бұрын

I'm also a musician and producer who was heavily influenced by James William Guercio. The band's producer for their 1st 11 albums. In addition to Terry Kath's guitar work, I LOVE the fact that Danny Seraphine's drum parts are 2 different rhythms on multiple tracks. If you're a drummer and really listen, you'd realize that no one person could play this arrangement live. If you want a REALLY great song to check out, give a listen to "Oh Thank You Great Spirit" from Chicago VIII. It's a Terry Kath BEAST of a performance written as a tribute to Jimi Hendrix.
