HIP HOP FAN'S FIRST TIME HEARING 'Chicago - 25 or 6 to 4 LIVE AT TANGLEWOOD' | GENUINE REACTION

[@Sigma1_969]

This might be Chicago at their finest..

[@larrybremer4930]

It would be if the mix was better. The trumpet really cuts through, and is a little flat, but the sax and bone can hardly be heard at all.

[@smccrory60]

@@larrybremer4930 It's a live recording from 1970! No tracks, no auto tune, just a great live performance with warts and all!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@RD-jc2eu]

@@larrybremer4930 Yeah... I think Tanglewood was an outdoor setting, so makes real challenges for recording in 1970.

[@larrybremer4930]

@@RD-jc2eu All I was pointing out is the issues that prevented this recording from being a seminal moment in music. I am actually astonished how well they could even pull off these massive live shows in the 1960s and 1970s with the pretty meager tube amps of the day and their lack of clean headroom for high gains, relatively small speakers where 18" cones were "big", and analog mixing consoles with very few discrete channels, I gig Karaoke on a 16 channel mixer yet quite possibly that whole band may have been on that few channels for its primary mix with perhaps the rhythm section and brass mixed into a 2nd mixer that was then a single channel feed to the primary mix. They would have recorded the audio from that primary console (the same feed that went to the power amps / venue sound). The sound quality of the recording is as good as can be expected with period equipment, but the actual mix (sound engineer) really let is down on that front. Levels were good everywhere except for the brass and with a band like Chicago, that is a huge problem with that horn section being such a large part of their sound.

[@RD-jc2eu]

@@larrybremer4930 All good points. I had no intent to disagree with you... just thought I'd add a bit of context.

[@aldrob108]

Jimi Hendrix’s favorite guitarist! He loved Terry’s playing.👍

[@VinnieDelvecchio]

Somewhere in my travels I heard that Jimi's favorite guitarist was Billy Gibbons... Really can't go wrong either way. It's fortunate that Billy is still with us; we lost Terry way too soon. Cheers!

[@matter1710]

​@VinnieDelvecchio I heard that about Billy being Jimi's guy too. They toured together for a short period. Makes sense. Understandable too given Billy's early stuff.

[@colecolettecole]

& i read this from redbone wikipedia ~ (Hendrix himself stated that Lolly Vegas was his favorite guitarist and biggest influence in music

[@aldrob108]

@ When a band member of Chicago said Jimi, who was standing right off the stage watching, told him Terry was a better guitar player than him and that was right after Chicago came off the stage, I tend to believe him. That was the same time when Jimi then asked Chicago to tour with him. Obviously he was very impressed. I think Jimi had several guitarist he liked and many who influenced him but when he was also quoted as saying he thought Terry was the best guitarist in the universe, I think it’s clear he loved Terry’s playing. Rightfully so too. In this video we saw Terry give a tremendous performance. This is coming from a guy who has every Hendrix record, who had posters of him on my wall growing up and has read several books about Jimi. I started listening to Hendrix in the sixth grade. I love me some Jimi and Jimi loved him some Terry.

[@andrewparfrement8583]

@@aldrob108Hendrix was in awe of several contemporary guitarists, and said ( as you’ve stated) they were better than him!. He was once asked during an interview,are you the greatest guitarist of our time. His reply ( which I am sure you are aware of) was the guitarist sat in this chair!. Like your self, I have read books seen numerous documentaries about the life of Hendrix. It’s my opinion ( as a classical trained guitarist), Hendrix realised he had technical limitations due to being self taught. Having said that, he still remains one of my favourite guitarist and unlike his contemporary’s, he was much more than an excellent musician. He was a composer and visionary.

[@tomlew55]

No words other than RIP Terry Kath.

What passion!

[@marckusel5602]

My enjoyment of watching your enjoyment is only surpassed by the enjoyment of Terry Kath playing 🔥

[@matthewglidden4860]

Keep in mind that this whole concert is available and shows off their many different styles. It's worth a watch the whole way through. Terry (guitar), Peter (Bass), and Robert(keys), were all songwriters and lead singers in their own songs. Regardless, thanks for doing this one. Love every second of it.

[@carundle-ds1op]

Although Peter sings lead here, Robert wrote this song.

[@rhondapease8516]

Oh yes! You must react to this whole concert!

[@Tassie85]

One of the best things about you and your channel is that you LISTEN to your viewers. You are endlessly curious about music and its creative process and it shows. Thank you for that - for everything.

[@nostromo526]

Terry beating on that guitar like it owes him money.

[@tinaells8869]

Steely Dan, is one of those bands. If you like Chicago, you will like Steely Dan. Try "Reeling in the Years", I've mentioned this before, they are so good.

[@dannycasson1551]

This is old school here. You got a group of superb musicians who are just playing the sh*t out of their instruments. And look at their faces! Pure enjoyment and camaraderie amongst themselves. It makes a music lover want to cry. Feeling blessed I was raised on this stuff.

[@renegadegl]

And the fantastic Peter Cetera on vocals (and bass).

[@LukeDaDrifter-lj2nh]

@@renegadegl And they proved there good without him bet he regrets leaving the band

[@brucehauge1391]

@@LukeDaDrifter-lj2nh I doubt he had any regrets. He had 2 number one solo hits right after he left and i think he was pretty much shown the door like they did to Danny.

[@LottiesFaith]

Can you imagine how much his forearm was burning after that solo? Love the swinging hair.

[@kevinmorrell4155]

One of the best guitar solos of ALL TIME! Jimi Hendrix called Terry Kath the greatest guitarist on the planet. Unfortunately Kath accidentally shot himself and died at age 32. You will love this song, it’s an all time bro!

[@neillenet291]

Jimmy hendrix also called billy gibbons his favorite guitarist.

I saw Chicago in 1972 in Portland Oregon. I was 20 and pregnant with my first baby. It was awesome to go to live concerts back then. Tickets were cheap and everyone was high! 💙👵🏼☮️

[@hazmania]

“So if you’re annoyed…meh🖕!” Quite right too. Your channel, your rules! Your genuine reactions, genuine pleasure & enthusiasm at hearing great music, that’s why we watch you, sharing that enjoyment. You can’t beat sharing pleasure in discovering greatness, art, music, film etc with a mate, doing it in person is obviously best, but this comes a great 2nd. Thanks my’ansum, love from Annie, in Cornwall🙂🌸

[@Married50Yrs]

Annie in Cornwall, this is Meredith from Huntington Beach, CA. I have always wanted to go to Cornwall. In spite of being in your wonderful country several times, we’ve never made it there. Is it as wonderful as it seems?

[@hazmania]

@ yes! Hi Meredith, Cornwall is beautiful, we're surrounded on 3 sides (well 2 really, since we're the last county of England & no matter which way you go, you'll get to a beach), miles of golden sand, wild moorland and beautiful rivers through woods & valleys, we have it all, packed into our small county. It's definitely worth a visit if you venture "across the pond" again.🙂🌸

"I've Been Searching For So Long" is another great song by them.

[@garyscharf9232]

Beginnings and I'm a Man from this same concert are EPIC as well.

[@Lois-New-fae]

So glad you could do this without covering the video. It often seems like we don’t get to feel the full reaction with you when we can’t see what you see.

[@MollyBoyTV]

I only ever cover the videos when there’s nothing else left I can do for KZbin to allow me to upload it. I know it’s annoying, I hate it too but sometimes it’s that or not video at all ☹️ I appreciate you sticking around to watch the videos even when they’re covered though

[@marthajean50]

You're gonna be amazed at how broad Chicago's repertoire is. You're only scratching the surface with them, no matter how far you get. Their song, "Saturday in the Park" is a fun one, somewhat different from this one, but great. Top tier musicians who broke the mold.

[@bretttodd6470]

We told you. Haha. Glad you liked it. I suggest I'm a Man next and then Saturday in the Park.

[@robertcussins2807]

You just witnessed one of my top five guitar solos of all time. I'm 65 and remember when this came out. I got the album and at ten years old nearly soiled my drawers over the whole thing. Kath is one of my favorite guitar players if not the top. RIP Terry. P.S. Even with no guitar, you do an excellent guitar face!!!

[@kimberlyianaro3774]

The music of my youth! Amazing talent in the '70's. We knew how to have fun. 😊

[@SF_Bud]

Wow! Thanks for listening to this so soon after the studio version. I think that is the right way to hear songs; studio version first, then the live version. The horns are what made Chicago unique: they were full-time members of the band, not just touring musicians or session players. Horns are very familiar to most Americans, and I wonder is that the case in the UK? LMK Pretty much every high school in the US and a lot of colleges have marching bands that are mostly horns and woodwinds. So if you didn't play in band yourself then you at least had a friend or maybe quite a few who were in band and played horns. Thanks for listening and sharing! Peace from SF

[@hackermusic3355]

Listening to Terry play never gets old.

[@LindaAtchison-qi2fm]

Don't apologize for rewinds. Anyone who loves this music is right there with you enjoying it a second time. I love that you not only enjoy the music but learn the different members and their names. Only a true fan does that. Keep rocking, mollyboy.

[@Mainecoonlady.]

Music isn’t about age, genre or instrument. It’s about pure talent! This is as pure as talent can be. I’ve seen them many times, and each time it’s better than before. They’ve been touring for over 50 years together. Lead singer left for a solo career but it went nowhere. Lead guitar passed away in a horrible gun accident. RIP Terry. The horn section is stunning in live performance and keyboards, my favorite, Robert Lamb. ❤. Please react to Saturday in the Park. Thank you!

"If you leave me now" is an awesome song!

Thanks for viewing this! Love your reactions! Kath was probably in the top ten list of great guitarists. Died too young. Love this live performance, especially when they're still trying to set up the cymbal stands at the beginning.

[@maryg9215]

I was introduced to Chicago in the early 70s when I was in high school. Our band director loved their records and played them in the band room on huge speakers. I wasn’t able to see them live until college after their Chicago X came out, but the original band members were all there. Loved Terry Kath and Peter Cetera❤️

Yes, the lead guitarist, its true he did have electricity running thru his shoes and was plugged in and set to 10 in order to get that jerky style moves. The trick was trying to isolate it from his hands. Very effective for the day.

Must say, you are one of my favorite reactors. You have an ear and Open Minded observational skills that are exceptional. Stating that this along with Dire Straits is the best live performance you have seen is proof. YES, please stick to live performances. Or better yet, do both at the same time.
