Tanglewood for live! Even better than the album. Classic horn section!
Live in Tanglewood version is the one you want
Make Me Smile with Terry Kath on lead vocal is a must!
Or Colour My World
You really need to watch the live version of this at Tanglewood in 1974 - very cool performance
Absolutely! It was 1970 though. I'm not trying to sound like a know-it-all, you are right about the
best performance of them.
@@michaelheller8841 one of the top 5 guitar solos of all time in my humble opinion.
@@TheScaramongus Terry Kath was an
amazing guitarist no doubt, I would buy
his signature Telecaster, but I don't have 20,000 lol. All joking aside, he was too
talented to be underrated.
Back in Jr. High, all the trombone players were big Chicago fans, because they hadn't heard someone play 16th notes on a trombone before.
Early Chicago music is the perfect fusion of rock and jazz. I love the horns and the songwriting both. Peter Cetera's vocal is pretty clean as well. How about that guitar as well? This is my favorite Chicago song by far. Great reaction, Aaliyah!
you should see the live version!! the guitar solo is epic, plus you get to see the whole band in all their glory! Peter on Bass guitar and singing is everything!!!
I concur
The vamp at the beginning as they are trying to fix a crash stand in the middle of the drum kit and the way it all just flows into the intro. Then the extended guitar solo
@@jimwilcox2964 so awesome, right?
Make Me Smile is another great Chicago song. And another brass band, jazz and rock influence, from this time period was Blood Sweat and Tears with songs such as "Spinning Wheel" and "You've made me so very happy"
Every time I hear Chicago it brings me back to my summers in the 70s . Running around playing in the sprinklers, and of course Chicago always seemed to be playing on the radio.
The lead singer is Peter Cetera. Prior to this studio recording he went to a ballgame where someone hit him in the mouth and broke his jaw. His jaw had to be wired shut. Recording day came and rather than cancel the session, Peter sang it with his jaw wired shut.
I read that his wires perhaps were removed by that time and having to re-learn how to sing with clinched mouth being afraid of locking his jaw open if he opened it to wide.
Dodger Stadium
So glad you did the studio version first bc of it's clarity that let's you here every instrument clear as glass. But, young lady, I think it's time to see them work their magic live. The entire concert at Tanglewood in 1970 is phenomenal! It features this song but I think Sat in the park came later, not sure. Anyway. Now you know this song, I think it's totally ok and watch it again live. That's just me. Or the closer of the night is a song called, I'm A Man. It's cover from the Spencer Davis Group featuring Iconic singer, and everything else, Steve Winwood. They turn it into a PARTY. You'll get some salsa dancing, cowbells, maracas, shakers, drums. It's wild! It's a good time and a great song! God bless! ❤❤
Almost forgot. Three lead singers on this song. Peter, Terry and my fav singer in the group, Robert Lamm. Yes, all three sing lead on diff songs but they all tackle this one together!!
I agree. The live Tanglewood version has that fantastic Terry Kath guitar solo, but it's not well recorded. The brass and vocals are much better in the studio version. And since the brass is what gave Chicago its unique sound, it deserves to be heard.
No she should of watched Tanglewood Live she'd see one of the best guitar solos on youtube.. $ minutes long.. I like live versions myself. That is what makes a good musician. Anyone can go into a studio and record.
@@stevenseul361 I agree, most of the time. Considering the young lady is on her second Chicago song, and knowing the quality of Tanglewood vs the quality of the studio, I thought it was a good choice for a first listen. Hopefully, she will return and get to see the magic of their live performance.
It's been said in the comments, I'll repeat Tanglewood Live in 1970 of the same song and from the
same show "Make Me Smile" That song makes me wanna dance and sing too lol.
Great song and reaction! It's crazy, a lot of these songs I haven't heard in 30-40 years and can still sing them word for word....classics!
Another blast from the past 1970 (my days 16yrs old) lol. A lot of great brass playing in these songs from Chicago!! Thanks
Terry Kath is on the guitar amazing guitarist one of the original members of Chicago when they started in the late 60’s he died in 1978 of tragic accident so glad you hear this amazing song
Oh you have to do the version of the song live in Tanglewood
Terry Kath's daughter made a documentary of her dad. Recommended if you want to keep digging into Chicago.
It's called " The Terry Kath Experience".
Jimi Hendrix was asked by a reporter once what it was like to be the world's best guitarist. He replied, "I don't know. You would have to ask Terry Kath."
James Pankow has said this is not how that actually went. Chicago was opening for Hendrix at a Hollywood club and he was asked about other guitarists and he mentioned Terry as well as others that were top of the craft.
"25 or 6 to 4" is proof that a great song can be about anything. One interesting thing about the song is that it doesn't end on the tonic.
More songs by Chicago you might want to listen to: "Saturday in the Park", "Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?", "Colour My World", "Questions 67 and 68", "If You Leave Me Now".
Other groups and songs that feature brass:
- Earth, Wind & Fire: "Shining Star," "Sing a Song," "Getaway," ""September"
- Tower of Power: "You're Still a Young Man," "So Very Hard to Go," "What Is Hip?," "Down to the Nightclub"
- Blood, Sweat & Tears: "Spinning Wheel," "And When I Die," "You've Made Me So Very Happy"
And don't forget -----The Ides of March, and their hit song "Vehicle".
@@Dave-nt3kz Good suggestion!
Always great to see a new reaction from you pop up! Your analysis on the songs you react to are always on point and this song is such a good classic, nice choice keep it up!
There's a iive version from Tanglewood that is fantastic
A great band from my youth. I highly recommend the famous live version. It's epic.
I love the studio version. Kath at his best. IMHO.
You really need to listen to the Live version from Tanglewood!
Check out Chicago’s “ Wish you were Here” with back up vocals by The Beach Boys
So awesome to see you enjoying music from the past! My favorite Chicago song. I follow several young bands/artists and there is a lot of great music being made today as well.🤘
Hi Aaliyah, being a songwriter, vocalist and multi-instrumentalist myself, I've watched a few of your reactions and found them very enjoyable and interesting. You were talking about the harmonies in this song. This band has a lot of songs with great harmonies like this. Just check out their slow ballad titled "Wishing You Were Here". There are some killer backing vocal harmonies in that one. The lead guitar player for the band is Terry Kath. He also does lead vocals as well on a few different songs, and Wishing You Were Here is one of them. Peter Cetera plays bass guitar. The band has 3 different singers which is the reason that their harmonies sound so good. Peter Cetera, Terry Kath and Robert Lamm (keyboards) all sing lead vocals on different songs. "Saturday In The Park" is one of their songs that is sung by Robert Lamm." On the song Wishing You Were Here Terry Kath is playing bass guitar and Peter Cetera is playing acoustic guitar. There were so many bands from the 60's, 70's, 80's and even in the 90's that had good backing vocal harmonies. When I played in rock bands back in the 80's and 90's I was in two bands where all of us were lead vocalists so we could do harmonies like this as well. You always have good reactions to the songs that you do. Great Job! ❤❤🎵🎵🎼🎶🎶👍
So many people react to this song and don't get that it's a time. Great classic Chicago tune! Chicago is a group that grows on you. Their jazzy keyboards and horns sounded chaotic to me the first few times. But my brother kept playing their music, and in time I became a huge fan. They brought Peter Cetera into the band because the other three vocalists all had deep voices and they wanted a range.
Other two, Kath and Lamm.
I do suggest the Live, Tanglewood version, also suggest you listen to the Ballet For A Girl In Buchanon suite, different lead singers
I saw them twice in concert.😊
Aaliyah I love this song. Chicago is such an amazing band. Stupid me gave up on a chance to see them live when I was in high school. Wonderful reaction
Hi Aaliyah, Chicago is awesome and has many great songs. I wish you had reacted to the live version of this song. Oh, well. 👍🏼
A great song about not being able to think of something to write a song about. Chicago has been coming up with excellent songs since back when they were Chicago Transit Authority. Good reaction. Thanks for the visit back to my 20s
Great reaction to a great song. Thanks!
You need to check out the live version from 1970
ruclips.net/video/7uAUoz7jimg/видео.html
few live performances have ever lived up to this one.
I'd enjoy seeing your friends reaction to this song and Dust in the Wind when the violin 🎻 part is played
Do the live version.
live at tanglewood is the version you should have done. way better then the studio version
Hello. First time seeing you. Love the dimples. And the reaction.It's a great song. He wrote a song about not being able to write a song.
Peter is a great lead singer. I saw them three times during their heyday. They were a great live band. Loved your reaction.
The guitar solo on this song is underrated. it is one of the best from the era. Also, another band with a brass section from the 70s you might enjoy is Tower of Power, they are jazz fusion. Check them out, What is Hip is a good song by them
Their keyboard player, Robert Lamm, wrote this song. He also sang harmony. He disliked lead and preferred staying in the background. He's now just 1 of just 3 original members
Chicago set out to make their music to have the brass have their own sections within their songs. Before the passing of guitarist, Terry Kath, he, bassist Peter Cetera and keyboardist Robert Lamm, all with their unique voices. shared lead vocals.
As a 66 yo, I remember when this song first came out. Also, if you played guitar at that time, the opening riff was something almost everyone knew.
Bee Gee's Too Much Heaven. You won't regret it..🙏
Great reaction.... It wasn't they it was keyboard player and one of three lead singers Robert Lamm(along with bassist Peter Cetera and lead guitarist Terry Kath RIP). Peter sang lead on this song. I've been listening to Chicago since 1970. Trombonist James Pankow did the music... Yes Robert was up late/early one morning and had writers block and he wrote about that.😊🔥
Great song. Chicago has some great ones. Im waiting for "Hard to Say I'm Sorry" by Chicago. Great vocal on "25 or 6 to 4." Really enjoyed this song. Great pick and as always, great reaction.😊
Jimi Hendrix’s pick for best guitar player - Terry Kath
Nice reaction, and as a few others have said, you should try "Make Me Smile" by Chicago. It was the group's first big hit, and features the same sort of upbeat jazz/rock fusion. It is sung by Terry Kath, who is also the lead guitar player.
Arguably, the first jazz/rock fusion song was "Got To Get You Into My Life" by the Beatles in 1966. It would also make a good reaction by you.

Terry Kath live is just another level. God tier so to say.
I am amazed you have not reacted to this b4.
Need to hear Terry Kath sing on MAKE ME SMILE by Chicago also Please do BEGGININGS
A classic track from my favorite band at the time. All of my favorite groups were atypical, meaning they're not straight rock and roll. Chicago and Blood, Sweat & Tears were my bridge to jazz; Santana's fusion of Latin and rock got me into Latin music more broadly; then Emerson, Lake and Palmer, along with Yes, were my bridge to classical music; ELP because of their many adaptations of classical pieces, and Yes, with their classical-like structures to many of their compositions. You, Aaliyah, are on a journey in music which I hope you'll enjoy as much as I did mine.
I think you would love Chicago's early albums; specifically, the first seven albums as they are more jazz-rock with the great Terry Kath.
Aaliyah, you need check out Laura Nyro. She had an operatic component to her voice I think you'll appreciate. She was also an incredible pianist and songwriter. She was around your age when she did her best work. I recommend "Eli's Coming" "Stoned Soul Picnic" "Save the Country" "He's a Runner" "Stoney End".
Terry Kath was a guitar god. Gone to soon. It was sad how he passed
Tanglewood.
It was said by none other than the great Jimi Hendrix that the guitar solo by Terry Kath here was the greatest guitar solo ever!
More Chicago, Make Me Smile
I used this song to demo ipod speakers back in the day. Horns, percussion, and a killer guitar player. What could be better?
Should add, harmonies. Harmonies added to all that would be better. Add it all up, and you have a perfect rock song.
Everyone always prefer the studio first. I'm on the other team watch Chicago 25 or 6 to 4 Live Tanglewood 07/21/70. Terry Kath solo is amazing in this. 4 minutes long and my opinion the best solo on youtube.
You should listen to Broken by Seether with Amy Lee, the vocal harmoniies are hauntingly amazing! 🤘😎
The Great Terry Kath rips the crap out the sucka with this timeless hit.
Should I try to do some more ( 25 mics of acid) or (624 a quaalude, a downer with 624 marked on side). 25 or 624. ❤❤❤
🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
I know the Tanglewood version is great... but to get another Live version, check out the tremendous and oh-so-professional group from Russia (!!) , Leonid & Friends !! Spot on and very energetic, just like the original !!!
Always enjoy your reactions, BTW any song by the eagles will be blocked ,I wouldn't bother with them ,Henly will block anything that has to do with the eagles
Hi beautiful young lady the story behind the song when I found out how it got that number sequence about them recording the song in the wee hours of the night and they were getting frustrated is absolutely hilarious but you on the other hand are absolutely beyond beautiful I take on all the men in the world and fight them to get with you Peter Cetera of Chicago has a killer voice
Well, gee. That's not creepy at all... Quietly slipping the creep into a run-on sentence...
@@johnpalmer3848she also won’t be impressed with your white knight act
@@mrgold714 Too bad you can't upvote your own post more that once, eh?
Hello, my dear Aaliyah po! Opo, isn't this a great song? I highly recommend the live version recorded at Tanglewood. It showcases how tight the horns were and has an extended Terry Kath guitar solo. There's so much to explore with this band.
Noting how much you enjoyed the Rock and Jazz fusion, you may also want to check out two other bands who started at exactly the same time as Chicago. Blood, Sweat, and Tears were a little more R&B funky but just as entertaining, while Lighthouse went for a lighter Jazz feel but just as good as their counterparts.
Chicago ... The live versions that are FIRE 🔥.
"Ballet for a Girl in Buchannon" live (Tanglewood 1970) Make me Smile is just a 3 minute cut out of this song.ruclips.net/video/iFWdkBvxDoA/видео.html&pp=ygUrYmFsbGV0IGZvciBhIGdpcmwgaW4gYnVjaGFubm9uIGNoaWNhZ28gbGl2ZQ%3D%3D
Chicago - 25 or 6 to 4 - 7/21/1970 - Tanglewood (Official) The guitar solo is way better & is one of the best ever., ruclips.net/video/7uAUoz7jimg/видео.html&pp=ygUZMjUgb3IgNiB0byA0IGNoaWNhZ28gbGl2ZQ%3D%3D
Make Me Smile by Chicago
Love your video's and reactions. Please try the song, "Alone" official video by the Bee Gee's. Would love to see your reaction. It will blow your mind.
Hey Princess, as always the perfect reaction. When you have the opportunity. Please react to Joe Bonamassa. Midnight Blues, Just Got paid, and with singer Beth Hart. Ill yake care of you. I'd rather go Blind. and so many more. You will be glad you did, All live of course, Stay well
This is before they lost Terry Kath.
More Mozart!
I like your channel, but number one rule ,please don’t ever interrupt in the middle of a guitar solo.. Wait before it finishes, or before it starts…ty😎😎
Ciao cara Aaliyah!🤗❤️
Please listen to Diana Ankudinova, Quiet outpost "
Why do people always pick thi s version its great,but doesn't compare to Tanglewood version !!
Terry Kath sadly passed away young playing Russian roulette with a revolver. Chicago was an amazing band! Great reaction! ❤❤❤🙏🙏
WRONG, get your facts right and stop spreading false rumors. As a hint look up Danny Seraphine's memories of Terry's passing.
@@chetstevensq - per Wikipedia- Kath enjoyed target shooting and by 1978 was regularly carrying guns.[42] On Monday, January 23, after a party at the home of roadie and band technician Don Johnson, in Woodland Hills, Los Angeles, California, Kath began to play with his guns. He spun his unloaded .38 revolver on his finger, put it to his temple, and pulled the trigger. Johnson warned Kath several times to be careful. Kath 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". His last words were, "What do you think I'm gonna do? Blow my brains out?"[38] To calm Johnson's concerns, Kath showed him 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 gun had a round in the chamber. He died instantly from the gunshot,[38] eight days before his 32nd birthday.
@@MarissaM312 You realize it is IMPOSSIBLE to play Russian Roulette with a 9 mm right?
@@chetstevensq - Symantics
@@MarissaM312 OMG no, your OP is wrong, you should delete or modify it.
Peter's jaw was wired shut when he recorded this song...
For me anything the band did after Terry Kath's death is pretty much worthless IMO . He was the bands soul .
I remember hearing back in the day that it was the number written to identify a pill. And it is easy to hear in the lyrics as possible drug effects. I think the Beatles' "Lucy in the sky with diamonds" is still about LSD, but I probably should look it up. You could spend months looking into messages either purposely put in songs or interpreted from songs even if they aren't really intended by the composer. Many classical composers as well. It's easy to imagine a composer sending a personal secret message to someone, now lost to time, because only that special person would really recognize it.
The lyrics meanings are NOT what you are being told in the comments. However, those born LOOOOONG after this came out have accepted the ridiculous narrative the band gave when they got into some trouble, so, oh well, you are going to buy into some "dog ate my homework" level nonsense about writers block and neon signs and such. I am old, lived through this era, saw them perform this twice (when everyone in the audience, EVERYONE, actually knew what the song was about, and actually knew what the lyrics meant). Oh well. None of this really matters. Lamm HAD to do that. 🙂 That aside, immortal song, timeless, and a very VERY good reaction!
