Chicago - 25 or 6 to 4 (live tanglewood) REACTION

[@hypno59]

One of the most beautiful drummers in rock..Danny Seraphine

[@johnlyle5907]

One of the great groups from the 70’s

[@joelok48]

Everybody's mouth drops open the first time they see this. Probably the best live rock performance ever filmed. The dramatic horns put this into OMG territory when combined with Kath's inspired solos. The joy of music written on your face.......

[@pamagnolia]

What a guitar solo! Terry Kath was one of the best guitarists ever. We lost him too young. RIP 🙏

[@MorenikejiTaiwo]

💔🙏

[@gmb858]

Jimi Hendrix said that Terry Kath was a "better" guitarist than he (Hendrix) was. It's sad that both were taken too young to share the stage to weave their fire together.

[@OzarkTroutBum]

Really good documentary about Terry available "The Terry Kath Experience"

[@chetstevens4583]

The original 7 were all stand out musicians. Cetera's bass compliments Kath so well in this song. Add in Lamb's songwriting skills and Serafin's drumming and you have the pieces for a hall of fame line up. Then you add that horn section and it becomes a whole different animal. Tragic that after Kath died this became a ballad band. Probably kept them out of the HoF for 2 decades.

[@johndalessandro6433]

Young Lady, I love watching you react to music!! Your smile could light up the darkest night! I think you would love to react to Chicago " Make Me Smile" . It was sung by the late great Terry Kath, the guitar player for the band. Very soulful voice I think you will enjoy.Keep that beautiful spirit you have , it warms my old heart to see it.😀

[@danielbenincasa770]

One of the best if not the best guitar solo's ever

[@bobbyc3895]

The instruments, left to right - trumpet, saxophone, trombone.

[@MorenikejiTaiwo]

😳😳😳 I really thought those 3 instruments were the same😁 Thanks for this.💗

[@charlesgarner2177]

It was 1970 and my parents asked me if I wanted to go see Chicago. They had front row seats at Barton Collusiom in Little Rock, Arkansas. I was 7 so I said I would rather play with the kids next door. Really bad call. Moms friend went to the doc the next day cause she lost her hearing. Sounded like a kick ass good time.

[@russelljoslinjr4387]

Whoever saw this band was fortunate! That's getting your money's worth!

[@ciphernine7824]

It wouldn't surprise me if he Was playing that solo with his eyes closed. He was just that insanely good.

[@MorenikejiTaiwo]

wow👏🏼

[@RogerWyatt365]

Terry Kath is the lead guitarist and the trombone is the name of that horn. The world lost a great guitar player when Terry passed and Chicago was never the same band after that. Also, we need more of you dancing!!

[@RockDocNeal]

Hi, you have just watched probably the best live performance of this classic song, with an epic guitar solo by one of the most underrated guitarists in the history of rock music, Terry Kath. As I’m sure someone has already mentioned, Jimi Hendrix went to see them play at a club on the Sunset Strip in Hollywood early in their career (when they were still called Chicago Transit Authority) and he went up to the sax player and related how good the band sounded, then he asked who the guitarist was and said “He’s better than me”! Jimi also said that he’d love to do an album with them sometime, but he passed away before they could get together. Unfortunately, Terry Kath also died young at 31 y/o in 1978 due to a gun accident. He was fooling around with a handgun he owned at a party, pretending to play Russian roulette, and he assured people that the gun was unloaded, but he forgot to check the chamber which had one round and when he pulled the trigger, he shot himself in the head.

[@RockDocNeal]

BTW, I forgot mention that I absolutely love your reactions. You have a very infectious smile that automatically puts a big goofy smile on my face! 😁

[@craigw1911]

That was at the Whisky A Go-Go. Chicago was coming out of the dressing room for the second set and in the hall was Jimi Hendrix. He said to them, "You guys have a horn section that sounds like one set of lungs and a guitar player that's better than me! You wanna go on the road?" And Chicago Transit Authority agreed to become his opening act on tour. Trumpet player James Pankow told of that meeting in an interview that's on KZbin.

[@Me-myself-b3g]

Terry Kath is an absolute BEAST, one of the best guitarists ever !!! In fact, Chicago is a super group!

[@MorenikejiTaiwo]

[@keithroberts4952]

[@DanielFrost21]

Great selection baby girl Mo. This is the original Chicago lineup, one of the greatest lineups of musical talent ever assembled. The lead guitarist is Terry Kath, one of the greatest to ever pick up a guitar. More Chicago please baby girl.

[@peterfitz1545]

Best live song of all time. Vocals, jazz, blues, great bass and percussion and the Best live guitar solo of all time. RIP Terry Kath

[@jeraldkimball494]

This was my jams through high school along with Grand Funk Railroad. I saw them in concert and was blown away. I left there wore out from dancing around and was exhausted and in sheer bliss.

[@robertdedrick7631]

Also from this same concert Make me Smile is something you should check out

[@danielbenincasa770]

I'm from Chicago. I seen them in concert at least 6 times. I work for the city and I know their manager. All of their songs are hits. Not a bad at all. Check them out. Love your reactions and your a doll!

[@TheMikeman1971]

Very Good group to listen to or band , Musicians ETC. I love the song and your beautiful face.

The Band Chicago from Chicago, IL USA formed in 1967

[@bruceday4036]

Great brass. A once in a lifetime guitarist. Guitar was part of his body. RIP TK. Love seeing young folks enjoying. Thank you

[@Nigelrathbone1]

We played this as a pep tune in my high school marching band. Played that great bass line on a tuba. Having played this great tune, I have felt the power and great experience of re-creating this tune in perhaps a hundred performances. Thank you Chicago and my band director JW McCaskey for calling up this tune for us to play.

[@leonardfox2694]

Sweet baby girl back for more 25 or 6 2 4. That horn you asked about is a trombone with the long slide piece.

[@MorenikejiTaiwo]

Thank you!☺️

[@ronaldalagia9211]

i think you're talking about the trombone, the instrument that has a slide that goes back and forth to change the pitch.

[@rossmacintosh5652]

We learned Morenikeji LOVES brass! 😁 So do we!

[@MorenikejiTaiwo]

😂❤

[@notaaveragejoe]

Seeing the brass/sax portions live were indeed exhilarating!.. I played the trombone is HS & it's a great instrument. Great review Mo. Thanks

[@HBFTimmahh]

Yes. We often play with our eyes closed. I'm a bassist and often had my eyes closed when the Jam is just Jammin like this one is.

[@philipf4168]

I absolutely love Chicago. A band whose music never gets old after all these years. Mad at myself for never seeing them in concert back in my youth. Still watch their videos and listen to their music weekly. Thanks for that Mo.

[@jeraldkimball494]

They opened for Jimi Hendrix back in 68 and Hendrix told them "I am good but your guitarist is better then I am"!

[@mynorthshore]

"Chicago's" original name was "Chicago Transit Authority." The name of the company that operates Chicago's bus and elevated trains. But they sued so the group had to shorten the name.

[@Alewifes_Husband]

Mo -- let me say how refreshingly unusual I find it, for a (assuming under-25) Nigerian to be so entertained by mid- and early-70's rock as you've been! As I have mentioned, I'm married to a Yoruba woman and know dozens and dozens of Nigerians and have been to Lagos about 5 or 6 times. I don't know ANY who enjoy this music like you (and I) do, even when they're in my age bracket (50-60). It's all disco and pop and sometimes funk (which is cool but I hate disco and tolerate pop). Oh and of course they love Sunny and Fela and Obey and all the greats of Naija music 🙂 but it's so hard to come together with them on stuff like this. I appreciate your amazing facial expressions and the joy you exude on some of these old songs. It really warms my ancient heart.

[@saintsefo4763]

FYI your assumption about Mo being under 25 is correct.

[@ricknbacker5626]

The indomitable Terry Kath. Gone far too soon. Musicians who master their craft, playing becomes instinctual. With an almost symbiotic connection with their instrument and when you're plugged in, it's game on. Their our babies, are partners in crime. Through the bad and the good. Every time you open that case, it's like a reunion with old dear friend. Great reaction Mo! Loved it, RNB

[@davidbooth7778]

Great Live Video. Lucky enough to see em half dozen times in the 70's.

[@MorenikejiTaiwo]

Aww

[@Yotraj]

Yes... after enough practice your fingers know where they need... or want... to go.

[@oldmanghost219]

OH WOW ! Fantastic ! You did the Tanglewood concert when Terry Kath (Guitar) was on FIRE ! He was also on FIRE in "Ballet For A girl In Bachannon" in the Tanglewood concert. Just be sure you get the whole 14 minutes and not one of the cut-outs. Chicago never recorded a song called "Make me Smile" or "Colour My World". They are both 2 minute cut-outs from "Ballet" & they both hit the top of the charts. The Girls really loved "Colour My World". In January of 78, Terry was playing with a gun. He checked the clip and it was empty then he put the gun to his head and pulled the trigger. There was one round in the chamber. RIP 🙏

I've seen tons of great music at Tanglewood, up here in the Berkshire Hills of Western Massachusetts, one of the most beautiful outdoor settings for music I have ever been too. Those old shows from the late 60s to the early 70s are amazing, some others who played there back in the day include The Who, Jethro Tull, Santana and the Jefferson Airplane. They are all on You Tube. Enjoy pretty lady! 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎷🎶

[@keysersoze1294]

Not only is my favourite baby girl shaking her moves, but now she's singing as well !! 👏🎤🎶👏 This is a great live version. And to answer your question - yes, when musicians are so skillled at playing their instruments, they instinctively know " where the notes are". You mentioned the guitarist was maybe closing his eyes - that's possible when you know your instrument that well. (I wouldn't say that i'm super-talented, but i often close my eyes when i play the piano...) Wonderful that your cheeks are aching - that means you've been smiling so much! Which is always delightful to see! Take care and lots of love 😘😘

[@ecbst6]

Okay, so, two things on the guitar that might interest you, in case nobody else elaborated yet... First, as I and probably others said, the bar hanging on the guitar that Mr. Kath tugs at is called a whammy bar. It basically is a lever to stretch the strings while you're playing it, and that gives you more range for the guitar to make sound beyond what it's tuned to. Second, and not sure it's visible on this one but probably... If you notice on the stage at their feet, you'll generally see a bunch of cables going to little boxes right at the base of the microphone... Those are foot pedals, and tied into the guitar so you can further alter the sound it makes, like the classic Cry Baby pedal.

The main guitarist was Terry Kath, who was a beast on the guitar and was reputedly Jimi Hendrix' favorite guitarist. Sadly several years after this performance, Terry Kath would die by accidentally shooting himself while "playing Russian roulette." I loved your reaction to this iconic performance of this great song!

[@DanielFrost21]

It wasn't a game of Russian Roulette per se. Terry was foolishly playing around with what he thought was an unloaded gun because there was an empty clip. However, he wasn't aware there was a round in the chamber.

[@TANTRUMGASM]

"Russian Roulette"?? with a semi-auto 9mm? nope, not how it works.

[@bostonvair]

@@DanielFrost21 Wikipedia cleared up the details, so you are correct, though it's a bit of a technicality (which is why I put "playing Russian roulette" in quotes. According to Wikipedia: "Kath enjoyed target shooting and by 1978 was regularly carrying guns.[41] Around 5:00 p.m. Pacific Standard Time on Monday, January 23, after a party at the home of roadie and band technician Don Johnson, in Woodland Hills, Los Angeles, California, Kath began to play with his guns. He spun his unloaded .38 revolver on his finger, put it to his temple, and pulled the trigger. Johnson warned Kath several times to be careful. Kath picked up a semi-automatic 9-mm pistol and, leaning back in a chair, said to Johnson, "Don't worry about it ... Look, the clip is not even in it." His last words were, "What do you think I'm gonna do? Blow my brains out?"[37] To calm Johnson's concerns, Kath showed him the empty magazine. Kath then replaced the magazine in the gun, put the gun to his temple and pulled the trigger. Apparently, unbeknownst to Kath, the gun had a round in the chamber. He died instantly from the gunshot,[37] at the age of 31, eight days before his 32nd birthday."

[@DanielFrost21]

@@bostonvair Yes, I see your point. That's why I wrote "Russian roulette per se". It was similar in style, but not a game of RR. We are in agreement in essence.

[@MorenikejiTaiwo]

[@alexfletcher5192]

The first time I saw this I think my jaw was on the floor. My chief memory of Chicago was their runaway hit in the UK, 'If you leave me now', but that ignores the earlier period. There are points in this footage where I start to believe the guitar is playing Terry Kath, not the other way around.

The Group's original name was the Chicago Transit Authority. The real Chicago Trandit Authority got a court order forcing the Band to change its name. So they just shortened it to Chicago.

Best guitar solo all time. Terry Kath RIP.

[@mikemiller3069]

As a guitarist of 48 years I can tell you that you do develop a muscle memory for where the notes are. Pianists do as well but they have the advantage of the keys being all the same size. On a guitar, each fret is slightly narrower than the one above it so they get kinda small towards the high notes. But guitarists use hand positions so they may have to peek if they're moving a long way up the fretboard. But once your hand has found the correct fret, you can feel the rest with your eyes closed.
