Hey Guys. This is early Chicago when they still had guitarist/singer Terry Kath. That's him playing lead guitar and he's the first singer you hear on this song. The early songs of Chicago were my favorites. Check out anything from their first album "Chicago Transit Authority" and you won't be disappointed. Enjoyed your reactions! Peace.
Chicago was a jam band when Terry Kath was alive. After his death, they devolved into a pop ballad band led by Pete Cetera. I saw this group in ‘69, and they rocked! Stick to their first 3 albums, and for a real treat, check out their performance at Tanglewood in ‘70, Terry does a 3 minute solo on 25 or 6 to 4. ✌️❤️🎶
One of their earliest and best CHICAGO songs which is a cover of a young Steve Winwood song that he performed with his first band. This is a much better full fledged cover.CHICAGO had 3 lead singers originally sometimes changing leads within on each song. Those 3 are Pete Cetera which your friend is familiar with, Robert Lamm, and Terry Kath. In their early days they were known for bluesy rock, jazzy fusion and even softer tunes.Later after Terry died,( he was a world class lead guitar player), Pete Cetera did most of their pop/rock romantic ballads which sold well though not in the elite class that they had established!
Chicago’s original lineup had three great singers and they all take turns on this song, also the three guys in their horn section are playing different percussion instruments 👍
Peter Cetera on bass, Terry Kath on guitar, and Robert Lamm on keyboards. Danny Seraphine on drums. Terry was singing first with the deeper voice, Then came in Peter with the higher voice, and than at the end was Danny singing.
Three other tracks from this debut album that you MUST listen to are the opening track, "Introduction" - written by and lead vocals by founding guitarist Terry Kath, "Poem 58", an insanely FUNKY 9-minute track with Terry Kath on guitar (he will MELT YOUR FACE!), Danny Seraphine on drums, and Peter Cetera on bass, and the killer jam "Liberation" that closes out this double-LP with about 14 minutes of mind-blowing instrumentals! There's the Terry Kath era from 1967-1978 of a jazz/rock/blues band with horns, and then there's the post-Kath era where they fell into being a soft ballad sappy pop band. Much like choosing Coke or Pepsi, people have distinct preferences of which era they like, and this 61-year-old dude is firmly entrenched in the Terry Kath era that I grew up in. Anything after Terry Kath's death in January 1978 is only a pale shell of Chicago.
Danny Seraphine is one of the best drummers out there. The first singer is the guitarist the onecand only Terry Kath. He sang on a lot of the early stuff until his untimely death. A lot of people back then called him the White Ray Charles.
You want more Salsa? Live in Tanglewood You want more cowbell? Live in Tanglewood You want more drums? ... Yup, Tanglewood Glad you did the studio version bc you def hear things a LOT clearer than that show. Unfortunately, Peter's mic was very low on this song, but the awesomeness is everything you already saw in your previous reactions and more. Looking forward to when you get around to it. Thanks Ace! Peace.
"Chicago" is really two bands. The Terry Kath era and the post Terry era. I only listen to the Terry Kath "Chicago". Just so you know, Terry Kath passed away in the late 70's and the band changed in to a sort of "easy listening" or IMO elevator music.
This is the first album. Chicago has slways had multiple singers. This is the origin libe up from the 1960s through kate 1970s when singer/guitarist Terry Kath shit himsemf woth a gun he thought wasn't loaded. First singer: Terry Kath - guitars Sevond singer: Peter Cetera - bass (most famous ofvthe three) Third sibger: Robert Lamm - keyboards Drums - Daniel Seraphine The percussion is by the horn section as the song has no horns Walter Parazaider - sax/flute/clarinet Lee Loughnane - trumpet/flugelhorn James Pankow - Trombone - hirn arrangements This is actually a cover of a Spencer Davis Group song originally written and sung by their keyboardist Steve Winwood. This first album is a lot more lije this tgan their later hits. Hit the first track, "Introduction."
The early years of Chicago in the 60's and 70's were very dynamic in the fusion sense and everything post 70's was more commercial. Both era's enjoyed much success!!
I’ve read…. that this is the only “cover” song that they ever did. Say what? That means …. they wrote….their own material??? Back then nobody nobody nobody did that‼️🔥🔥
Great jam! Great band! This I believe is an old R+B song that was also done by the Spencer Davis Group in the 60's. It is a banger as well! Love the salsa moves!
It was written by Steve Winwood and Jimmy Miller of the UK in 1967 and first performed then by the band Steve was in, the Spencer Davies Group. This is a later cover.
First picture ::Fyi Terry Kath is the dark haired one, Peter Cetera is the light haired guy. Yes 7 members lead guitar, bass, drums, keyboard, trumpet, trombone, and saxophone.
Nothing compares to late 60’s early 70’s musicianship a decade of Goats! This particular song one of many remakes checkout Live at tanglewood 25 or 6 to 4 LIVE incredible! ✌🏻
There's 70s Chicago which you just heard-then there's 80s Chicago without horns with synths and ballads which is what Dyce Reacts heard (You're the Inspiration)
Children come on this is by far the greatest song and ban d Imagine being 16 years old and seeing this live. That is Terry Kath ...Jimi Hendrix said he was the best guitarist he ever heard!!!! Sadly we lost Terry to a freak accident at his kitchen table

Stick with 70s Chicago. ❤
Oh yeah, Chicago could definitely jam like that for sure. And they had basically three lead singers.

This is early Chicago, first album I think. They were rockers back then.
This is a brilliant cover of. a spencer Davis group song.
"It felt like the Producer left the studio there, for awhile." LOL
No better Chicago than the transit authority album. The drummer was a musical genius. Absolutely love Chicago
CTA was the best version of the group. Later lead singers really took them in some weird directions away from their roots.
Peter Cetera on bass, Terry Kath on guitar, and Robert Lamm on keyboards. Danny Seraphine on drums. Terry was singing first with the deeper voice, Then came in Peter with the higher voice, and than at the end was Danny singing.
I believe it was Robert Lamm doing one of the leads and not Danny who did not do vocals.
@@joelliebler5690Correct, leads in order on this track were Terry Kath, Peter Cetera, Robert Lamm.
@@craigw1911 Who cares!
The people enjoying the different singers were. Kind of strange someone gets pissed off at someone agreeing with them, but you do you.
You should see them do this Live at Tanglewood!
I had nearly forgotten that this song was such a jam! Thanks Ace,for the reminder!

Thank you guys......nobody has played this as a reaction,as far as I can tell in recent memory. can't beat EARLY Chicago !

Thanks for the great memory! ❤ I used to love this song in 70's and 80's. I haven't listened to it in its entirety in 20 years! 😊❤ thanks again guys!😊
Early Chicago before they went pop, first few albums were killers....THE FIRST ALBUM CHICAGO TRANSIT AUTHORITY WAS A KILLER.
Chicago live at Tanglewood 1970, the song 25 or 6 to 4, I think it is the greatest guitar solo of all time. Just
my opinion
I think he did that one.
One of Jimi Hendrix' favourite guitarists.
I think this tune was originally written by Muddy Waters, an electric blues musician from the late 1950's and early 1960's, from the Chicago area.
"Chicago" is really two bands. The Terry Kath era and the post Terry era. I only listen to the Terry Kath "Chicago". Just so you know, Terry Kath passed away in the late 70's and the band changed in to a sort of "easy listening" or IMO elevator music.

First singer: Terry Kath - guitars
Sevond singer: Peter Cetera - bass (most famous ofvthe three)
Third sibger: Robert Lamm - keyboards
Drums - Daniel Seraphine
The percussion is by the horn section as the song has no horns
Walter Parazaider - sax/flute/clarinet
Lee Loughnane - trumpet/flugelhorn
James Pankow - Trombone - hirn arrangements
This is actually a cover of a Spencer Davis Group song originally written and sung by their keyboardist Steve Winwood.

Chicago and Toto are the jam
experts at their fields

Let's GO bro ...nice .
Keep em comin .
Chicago had many singers,Mainly Pete Cetera,and Lead guitarist Terry Kath with the Ray Charles tone in the early years.
There's 70s Chicago which you just heard-then there's 80s Chicago without horns with synths and ballads which is what Dyce Reacts heard (You're the Inspiration)
The definitive version.
Children come on this is by far the greatest song and ban d Imagine being 16 years old and seeing this live. That is Terry Kath ...Jimi Hendrix said he was the best guitarist he ever heard!!!! Sadly we lost Terry to a freak accident at his kitchen table
guitarist/singer Terry Kath. sings like Ray Charles !!! the other singer is the base player Pete Creata
An excellent cover.
React to the original I'm a Man by the Spencer Davis Group
Uhhh, dudes. Please. Poem 58 from the same album. Will beat your brains. Totally.
Check out the original version, or at least a very early version, of rhis song by Muddy Waters. You wont be disappointed.
Your guys reactions are 🔥🔥🔥.
you should check out the video for this- old black and white- 3 singers on this song
I liked your Guest Hosts remarks, but he needs to learn how to sing. Or get a mute button. Lol
Spencer Davis Group does my favorite version of this song.
Live from Tanglewood is a better way to experience this song.
Jazz Rock fusion
he's like those are white guys , mind blown
25 or 6 to 4 Live in Tanglewood!!!!!!!!!!!
You should have watched it live
Great reaction to a great band! I prefer your solo reactions better tho.
3 singers buddy. Lead-bass- organ
The Terry Kath yrs......
acid is a helluva drug , just sayin
Hard Habit to break also by Chicago! God Bless!
Dude in ballcap just can't bring himself to say they are great, please don't try to sing.
New Dude sucks! He talked through the whole damn song. You're better by yourself.😡😡😡
