The 1970 live version at Tanglewood is a must watch. In fact, all of the Tanglewood concert is a must see.

The original Chicago lineup was some of the greatest musical talent ever assembled.

Peter Cetera, bass player, on vocals. and the MOST AWESOME solo from Terry Kath!

[Ginny-ty]

You should watch the live version at Tanglewood to see how great Terry Kath ( the guitarist is, as is the rest of the band). 2:58

"Beginnings" and "I'm the Man" are awesome as well. Nothing like early Chicago.

"MAKE ME SMILE" Just might blow your mind. Also that descending guitar riff is a well used riff in a ton of songs. The descending of the guitar is one of my favorite all time sounds.

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. 🍻

Shout out to my high school band leader who made us learn this song-I will forever have every note committed to memory ❤

The live version of this song from Tanglewood is a must see. Terry Kath completely shreds his guitar a new one! 🔥🔥🔥

[kentharris]

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.

I feel sorry for the newer generations, for not experiencing music that changed peoples lives so much and so often versus todays music that rarely has the impact.

[Maydoggie]

Everyone was smokin' on this one, but Danny Seraphine on drums puts it over the edge into a timeless classic.

[kevinmcconnell]

Young people are truly lucky to have YouTube so they can now be exposed to the 25 years, 1955-1980, of the greatest music ever produced we baby boomers were blessed to grow up with!!

[annewoodard]

"25 or 6 to 4" and "Make Me Smile" are the bangers I grew up with 😄

[UncleSpellbinder]

How BOLD is it that the first three releases from Chicago were all double LPs. THAT'S balls.

[ronniefarnsworth]

This was a Huge Ginormous Hit for Chicago and played on every AM/FM Radio station around this nation in 1970', they were on every TV show playing music with this Hit (Remember only 13 TV channels back then Kids Lol) and it is "Still" played on Classic Rock radio station everyday in this country TNT, tune to your FM Classic Rock station and enjoy all the great Classic bands of the 1960s-70s ! 📻👍🎶🎼✌

In Jr. High, all the trombone players were big Chicago fans, because nobody had heard 16th notes on a trombone before.

[theajones]

R.I.P. Terry Kath. Great song. Grew up in Chicago in the 70s. Love that era of music.

[todderickson]

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!!

The song is about him trying to write a song in a little room above the Whisky A GoGo club on the Sunset Strip in L.A. When he says "25 or 6 to 4", he means that the time was either 25 or 26 minutes before 4AM.
