      @@wandaklusman6730 Jimi was just being humble... There is no way Terry Kath was ever better than Jimi Hendrix! The next thing we know here, someone is going to say that Terry Kath was better than Eddie Van Halen. Kath was really good, but Eddie was even better than Jimi, but Jimi comes in at a very close second.

      Terry was amazing and if you saw them live that solo changed. He almost never tried to reproduce the studio version. You almost got the feeling he was making it up within the structure laid out in the song. Kind of like Zappa feels a live version should be.

      LOL. yeah, and it really was never better than this night. Don't get me wrong, always great they were, but Kath played his MVP game in front of a camera. You may be able to find it, I looked for a minute so I could attach it for you but didn't see it, where Jim Pankow (trombone) was on some New Year's Bash TV show ... not long after this concert. I don't really remember if the whole band was there or not. It may have been local Chicago actually, but I just don't remember. I have, however, seen it online. Anyway, to the point: the MC, or interviewer, or whatever, asked Pankow about their "hot young guitar player". Pancow answered by saying something along the lines of, Terry put on a magic show up in Tanglewood a few months ago and we have been getting booking calls ever since.....
      Some people said it was coke, others said whatever, but it was goddamn masterful.

      Terry improvised every night. Every single night and not just on this song. He even improvised the lyrics and his melody when he sang lead on It Better End Soon. If you get ahold of recent rerelease of Live At Carnegie Hall with every song played all week long you will hear lots of guitar solos played differently on same songs night after night. A Chicago concert from 1970 to 1975 was a guessing game. Every audience member knew every song but in the middle of one, Terry on guitar or even the horns would go off on a long jam. It was magic.

    54 years later and this song is currently being featured on a TV commercial and sounds as good as ever. One of Rock & Roll’s greatest hits by one of Rock’s most talented bands of all-time. The guitar solo is mind-numbing by the late, great Terry Kath - who Jimi Hendrix once said was a better guitarist than he was. One of my all-time favorite songs. It never gets old and as long as I keep listening to it, neither do I. Thanks for posting :^)

      "Kath then picked up a semi-automatic 9-mm pistol and, leaning back in a chair, said to Johnson, "Don't worry about it ... Look, the clip is not even in it." Those were his last words. To assuage Johnson's concerns, Kath showed Johnson the empty magazine. Kath then replaced the magazine in the gun, put the gun to his temple and pulled the trigger. Apparently unbeknownst to Kath, the semi-automatic had a round in the chamber. He died instantly from the gunshot..."

      Anybody with any sense would know not to play that kind of game with a gun. My father was a Marine, and he taught me never point a gun at anybody unless you're ready to pull the trigger. Always assume a gun is loaded. Never put a gun to your own head. Common sense, but then again, common sense isn't so common.

      A piece of advice for today's guitar players. Nothing you do in your bedroom compares to what happens when you play with others. Just watch the players and their mutual effect. You can see how the music gets to them. They couldn't care less about the audience, the cameras or the BS. that passes for performances today. !
