Terry Kath and Chicago at the Arie Crown Theater 11-72

The November, 1972 concert from the Arie Crown Theater in Chicago. A stellar version of "Dialogue Parts 1 and 2" and a rare video of the band performing the instrumental gem, "Devil's Sweet".

[@bryanessing3344]

Terry Kath was everything. The band was never the same when he was gone.

[@jerrymammoser9101]

…that sums it up

[@anthonywilliams7110]

EXACTLY!

[@MichaelM-to4sg]

Don’t underestimate the talents of Robert Lamm, Terry’s best friend and Co-author on many of their songs. He suffered deep depression and left band for 2 years after Terry passed away. Without both Terry & Robert, the band lost direction with Peter taking band into disco inspired bubblegum pop band 🤮

[@hammer44head]

They wernt the same before Terry left, they had serious drug problems and they were seriously burnt out. They had made six fantastic albums and double albums but nobody could last that long at that much of a creative level. Blaming Peter for where they went is just ignoring they were already heading that way.

[@liamg2271]

This is simply a fact. Kath was the soul of Chicago and their music was sublime until he died. Once Foster entered the picture they had some very good ballads, and Chi 17 was excellent, but they could never replace the genius of Kath.

[@daviddecker5915]

How could anyone watch this and not understand - the 70's was the greatest musical decade in history? Band after band, artist after artist, song after song. These guys were the top!

The talent on this stage is rarely seen outside of a classic orchestra or pure jazz ensemble. 3 absolutely brilliant lead singers, who were all genius with their respective instruments. Add a drummer who has to be one of the all time greats, and add an off the chain horn section. Add to that their songwriting and arranging and you get Chicago. One of the 20th century’s greatest bands. Kath remains a freak of nature…that voice, guitar playing and songwriting …to this day these guys are required listening on a regular basis for me.

@dearing79 I agree man. You know, all I've heard in the last 30/35 years or so was how conceited and hard to work with Peter Cetera was. I've never had the pleasure of meeting him or any of Chicago for that matter, but like the old saying goes, there are 2 sides to every story, so who knows? What I do know is that the whole band has given me a lot of happy times for many years, the whole band, not just Peter, and I'm thankful that we have had this band so long. As far as the stories about Peter, maybe they are true, but who knows? If I could sing AND play like him, I'm fairly sure I would be a little full of myself, haha. Anyway, it is all just my opinion and I just felt like expressing it. Peace to all and especially to my fellow Chicago fans!

Was in 3rd grade when this came out. Away at weeks of summer camp, the counselors who were in their mid-teens enjoyed teaching littler kids to "dance" and they were always looking out for budding crushes among the kids. One of the counselors knew I had the hots for Hali, another 8 year old who looked like Shirley Temple. That counselor became matchmaker and put the '75 Greatest Hits album on the turntable in the mess hall where we were having a dance. She turned the lights down and grabbed me and Hali and showed us how to hold one another. Beginnings, Color My World and Searching make me shiver every single time, even 49 years later. We ended up sitting on a boulder under the moonlight, holding hands. Does it get any better than that?

This is about the time that I saw them but around September of that same year!!! Their opening song was Saturday in the Park, and I can remember it like it was yesterday!

This is the “perfect” assembly of Chicago’s band members from almost day one at DePaul University that I grew up on in the 70s. You can absolutely hear the difference between today’s Chicago and then. Thank you for posting this video. Terry brought so much of Chicago’s powerful ensemble to life on stage. I noticed Terry watching Danny play those drums like he is watching a magic show. You made it happen.

One of my favorite bands and one of the best concert I ever went to.

[@bryanbowyer8772]

Had the pleasure of seeing them just a few weeks earlier, late October, in Williamsburg Va.

[@mcjazzproject]

Damn I miss Terry's playing and soul. We could make it happen.

[@rongautreau8452]

This song is so appropriate for today . What a group , what a song.

[@petec9686]

Wow. A good bit of this is just straight up hard core jazz. What amazing talent.

When I was in college, we had Chicago performing at least once a year. We listened to their albums incessantly. Terry Kath was one of the greatest guitarists of the late ‘60’s and early ‘70’s. He remains one of the best guitarists ever thanks to these videos. The horn section was always esoteric. How can I explain what it’s like to hear real music by real musicians and free of crutches such as auto tune.

[@markschlesinger]

Never realized there were so many video concerts of prime Chicago. Thanks.

[@lincolnadams83]

TERRY 'FREAKIN' KATH!!!!

[@rosariopresti9792]

[@gorflunk]

Remember the Midnight Movies? For most of us, that was the only way we got to see this. How times have changed...
