Chicago - 25 or 6 to 4 | REACTION

[frankvellucci]

Terry Kath is extremely underrated by many, but not by his peers.

[birdzilla]

Skynyrd had three guitar players, Outlaws had three guitar players. Chicago had one guitar player. He went from screaming, heart pounding solos, to scratching rhythm effortlessly. Kath was a great musician. He had a soulful voice, and he was a good songwriter. It's one of music's greatest tragedies that he died so soon.

No dubbing, no retakes, no auto tune, no mixing, just pure live music !!!!

[ITILII]

When Jimi Hendrix saw Chicago in concert he went backstage afterwards and said with their brass section, they were the best band he ever heard. Then Jimi looked at Terry Kath and said "Man, you play better than I do" What a compliment from the man often considered the greatest guitarist of ALL TIME !!!! And Terry Kath was an excellent singer, Kath - underrated as a vocalist; unsurpassed as a guitarist ....and listen to the GREATEST GUITAR RIFF of all time....Terry jams for 2 1/2 said, if Jimi says Terry is the best, ain't no one can argue with that !!!! Jamal great t shirt, great sentiments and be even greater if people actually put it into for you great vids bro....keep the Faith !

[JeffreyTheTaylor]

You just watched one of the best guitar solos ever captured. RIP Terry Kath.

[scottmcguire]

It absolutely blows my mind that Rolling Stone left him off their list of top 100 guitarists of all time. It shows how far that publication had fallen. Mind boggling in its stupidity.

[mikeberg]

Before I say that anyone who doesn't recognize Terry as being on the same level as Jimi, EVH, SRV etc is wrong, can we all just say that Danny Seraphine was an insanely good drummer.
I saw these guys 5 times in the span of 3 years in the early-mid 70s and they blew the roof off every time.

[Rickybwah]

Jamel, don’t think I’ve ever seen you not pause a song before. The power of seeing Terry in concert.

[joebalusikiii]

The old joke: Reporter: Mr. Hendrix, what is it like to be the greatest in the world?"
Jimi Hendrix: "Beats me. Ask Terry Kath."

[derekguitarmax]

The best part of that whole performance is towards the end of the solo when the entire horn section completely stops what they’re doing to stare at terry like wtf. You can tell that solo wasn’t rehearsed.

To answer your question, that guitar solo is one of the top 5 ever performed live by anyone. He was straight up shredding before there was even a word for it.

[chriskay]

Terry Kath is an absolute beast on guitar. Truly one of the most amazing guitar solos EVER - this is top three of all time best in my opinion. Even Jimmi Hendrix was impressed so much he wanted to produce Kath's solo album.

[GOGIANTS]

Chicago's Tanglewood is perhaps one of the most underrated live shows ever

[benjohnson]

Jamel, what you have here, is Chicago at their best! I wasn’t at this concert, but I saw them about a year after, and they were mind blowing! The guitarist Terry Kath was great. Jimi Hendrix claimed that Kath was better than him! (Hendrix was never full of himself) So sad that Terry died so tragically, and needlessly. The band was never the same afterwards. This was a great solo by Terry. I’ve heard so many great solos over the years, and I don’t rank them. But this one is up there! RIP Terry.

[Williamyarbrough]

I have played guitar for over 20 years but these guitarist are insane. That solo was so long and note filled. He ran all over that guitar non stop. He was truly inside the zone. His heart and spirit were just wrapped into that guitar and he was projecting it out for us to feel what he was feeling. Its amazing.

[catherineengle]

You need to watch the documentary on Terry Kath called Chicago: The Terry Kath Experience that his daughter put together. Its really worth a watch and its free right now on the YouTube movies. It will give move insight to the awesome guitar player that Jimi Hendrix loved and admired.

[stony]

Terry was the heart and soul of Chicago. His energy was sorely missed and they were never the same. He was the most underrated player of his day 🙏😎♥️

[tgforty]

That is the most INSANE guitar solo I have ever seen/heard. No wonder Jimi Hendrix called Terry Kath one of his favorite guitarists.

[gloriaault]

Smoking!!!! At 83 I'm still enjoying the moment!

[Kim-hcsi]

Can you imagine just for one minute what it feels like to play an instrument like that? Any instrument? Just to lose yourself in expression and creativity like that must be the closest thing to complete euphoria. RIP Terry Kath.

[johnmccarthy-behindtheveil]

I'm a big rock fan, and I have to admit, that was one of the best solo's of all time, live.
