Back in 1976 myself and my family stay at a cabin on a small lake in Wisconsin. Turns out the owners were Terry Kath's parents. I remember the gold and platinum records on the wall there. When he died I was beyond shocked and sad. The group Chicago I've loved since age 9 or so. Now I'm 55.
Charlotte such a talented band sad sometimes life takes us down a road we can never come back from.But the music will be with us always.Always love Chicago.My wifes late brother in law has Billy Ocean's Platinum framed disc.His sister was married to Robert John Mutt Langer.Who was married to Shania Twain.
When music didnt need backup dancers, flashy sets, unnecessary oohs and ahhs filling up space, real lyrics that had a message and the bands sounded as good onstage as their recordings. God I miss those days. Kids today have no idea.
I’m sure he does, but something about this performance threw it off. Like he wasn’t as tight as other performances I know him for. great song regardless!
A couple important points: 1. Danny is the one telling Pankow to shut up, after Pankow mocked Peter's song with the smartass "John Denver" remark. Pankow was a heavy drinker and coke abuser (as were some of the others in those days) and his antics were a frequent source of frustration and anger within the band. Danny said later in his book that it eventually got to the point where the band did an intervention on Pankow and told him to get his shit together and knock it off, which to his credit, he did. It's a well-known fact that Cetera and Pankow clashed often, usually over Cetera's stated preference to leave the horns off some of his songs. It's also no secret that Pankow's muse had pretty much abandoned him by this point, while Cetera was hitting his stride as a songwriter. The fact that this song quickly became the band's first #1 song, and a huge hit worldwide, no doubt made it all the worse for Pankow. Imagine if Cetera introduced Pankow's Ballet For A Girl In Buchanon to the crowd with a smartass comment like, "Now we're gonna play some bullshit inspired by Bach." 2. Don't believe the crap you hear about "Terry refused to play the song in concert and/or walked off the stage when they played it, because he was upset that he didn't play on the recording." That is pure bullshit, spread by people who don't know or care about the truth. The truth is, Terry occasionally played bass in the studio, and Peter occasionally played acoustic guitar on some songs. It's called being multi-talented. There was nothing unusual or controversial about, as both guys (along with producer Guercio, who also played both instruments) had the ability to do so, and when the band was at Caribou, it was not unusual for some guys to work on some songs while other band members were out and about or "doing other things" at the Ranch.
Yeah. I've always wondered the relationship between Peter and Terry. It must've had to been real tight since they were the two guitar players in the band and had to work off of each other. I always hear how the other members dealt with Terry but not Peter's. Does anyone know?
Pankow was rude and obnoxious from start to finish on this song. He obviously knew he was being outshined. Fortunately, Peter kept his composure and performed the song brilliantly. True talent.
the original lineup had something playing together. As much as I do enjoy later albums, Chicago lost its soul when Terry Kath died. It just wasn't the same.
Agreed.....I was too young to ever see them with any lead singer other than the latest guy...I can't even think of his name. Old Chicago is the best Chicago!
Watching this video, it must have been hard for Peter to keep his cool on stage after Pankow made his sarcastic comments before the song started. This was their first #1 song and in my opinion Pankow was jealous of Peter and still is to this day!
Another example of Jimmy being a prick onstage and showing his jealousy of a good song that he didn't write. Glad that Danny had the balls to call him out about it onstage. I bet there were some interesting words between them after the show.
Musically speaking, this song is a sweet little number, but I wasn't a Cetera fan. After Kath, the music became pop. Still, Bruce was an ass. Peter does have a John Denver vibe goin on!
Peter would be the only dude from Chicago to not just write 1, but 2 #1 hits for the band. Pankow's super jealous about that, so is Robert. Pankow and Lamm thought they had a monopoly on the songwriting, they never could accept Peter's writing success.
@@WillClarkston24 ,Not sure your right about that , from what l read and heard Peter became lead singer while Kath was still there and did a lot of lead singing in a lot of those albums !!!!
Not Chicagos saltiest tune, but yet one of the prettiest songs that ever has been written. Many new listeners now discovered the group and much more of their music.
Another of those timeless songs, I never tire of hearing. Still as good as it was in the seventies, one of my favorites of all time. It is so superior to the noise that tries to pass off as music nowadays.
Omg, I love Chicago! I've been on a continuous loop of nostalgia and I don't wanna get off. The Eagles, David Gates & Bread, Carole King, Carly Simon. Somebody help...! lol
i give Pete all kinds of props. he stayed longer than i would have considering all the childlike envious antics he had to put up with from some of the other members [coworkers]. I oftentimes viewed it as an abusive work situation. let's be realistic, if one looks at all videos one sees Pete working his vocals to death, lead, backup lead, etc. and not getting respect or recognition. for the longest [most listeners gave] all credit to kath and lamm when in fact the 'voice' was cetera. this comment from ig'nant azz'd pankow is one example of the many attacks Cetera had to put up with that would have hindered a lesser artist's creative energy--let alone sucker punch pankow after tha show. Pete, in my book, will always be the 'voice' of Chicago whether folks want to accept or not-it is what it is or was. Pete was, is very talented. He worked his 'cute' li'l tusch off for Chicago. LOL! one thing i have to chide on is tha hair cut he wore when he appeared on Merv Griffin 1980...tickled me to life.
Being from Chicago I had to love their music. I remembered having a crush on a girl during the time this song came out. I kinda owned it at that time along with “Lady” by Styx.
I know a lot of people get iffy about Peter writing love songs but he seriously made some of the best melodies by far in rock history and in the band and that voice is one in a million. Like I can't imagine any of their hits being sung other than Peter, besides Terry in Make Me Smile.
That"s so funny that Peter mentions John Denver at the beginning. I assume because, John also played those big Guild jumbos. 6 string & 12 string. I like the way the guitar is a little more faw in this recording & how Peter makes a quick adjustment to the microphone early on.
Unsung hero of this song, Robert Lamm on the keyboards! (I'm guessing that's the old Fender Rhodes, such a great sound that had. Can really hear it around 2:35.)
@@coltoncooper170 Yes, he wrote probably more than half of their big hits in the early years, and was clearly an influence on Peter Cetera, who would eventually become a principal songwriter for the group. Hard to imagine Chicago without Lamm’s 25 or 6 to 4 being a staple for 50 years now.
Este grupo fue realmente fabuloso. Cantaban y tocaban muy bien y sus canciones son buenas para escucharlas todavía, más de 40 años después. Y lo hacían en una forma tan natural, que siempre me impresionó.
Someone in the comments referred Peter as the muse, that's very accurate. All the members who wrote songs and wanted them to be hits, wrote the songs with Peter in mind. Who else could deliver them and make them hits.
Una de las canciones más hermosas e icónicas de la banda , y por supuesto Terry intercambiando su guitarra por el bajo con Peter ,Muy buena actuación ! Saludos desde México 🖖😃🇲🇽
I wish Rebecca was here that song what Does My Heart a little bit too hard and Debbie too that song is amazing especially the keyboard thing that freaks out
"Si me dejas ahora" excelente canción, tan sentimental, cantada con tanto sentimiento, y tocada con mucho talento. Está a millas encima de las canciones que se producen ahora.
No hay punto de comparación con lo q hoy llaman música....pobre nuestros hijos que están creciendo con ese ruido llamado Reguetón..... ésto es música... inevitable no llorar de la emoción d de escuchar a Peter Cetera y Terry D.E.P.
Except for the live shows with Terry, the bands releases did not display Terrys guitar fusion sound since actually Chicago 3, "Saturday in the park"(1972) up till "Baby what a big surprise" (1977) 5 yrs Kath had nothing going on with these pop oriented tunes even songs between the two aforementioned tunes. Thr record companies demand for the pop songs actually changed the band and somewhat sidelined Terry before he died in 1978. I dont see how he was missed (musically), when his fusion like playing was already cut out of most of their sound.
@@waltersimmons946 I believe he was the first that wanted to leave the band, along Cetera and Lamm. I never cared for their pop stuff... I understand you have to market a band to make money, but I'm sure they had quite the following even before their pop days on the radio. I stopped buying their stuff as it all sounds the same now..recycled pop songs. Sad really. But their stuff up 78 was still good.
@@deltatango2581 Thanks for responding, I agree with what you said about the pop direction they had taken, and actually it was Terry who was going leave first. Cetera did an interview with Ernie Manouse explaining that it was Terry, Lamm and Cetera himself on leaving in that order. That interview with Ernie Manouse , you can see it on RUclips and Cetera addresses a lot of things , even some stunts the record company was trying to pull behind his back even after "Glory of Love and "Next time I fall". Yes, even after those songs did very well the record company was still plotting and trying to get him back in Chicago (He had no management or backing when he was officially solo) . Its funny how people say hes egotistical and douche bag, he's not like that at all. He revealed in that interview he was a afraid of leaving Chicago (for years) not only because their success was massive but also he didn't think he'd be accepted as a solo artist but once they forced him out (by reneging on his requests to spend time with his daughter and doing the solo album) he said he was scared but he felt his leaving was the right decision. And you should see the "Terry Kath "Experience" Kaths daughter interviews people even Cetera and according to Cetera, Kath was unhappy and had songs laid out for his solo move and Kath also said " NO HORNS" . But everyone grumbled when Cetera wrote songs without horns.
@@waltersimmons946 I seen that video you were talking about and it reinforced what had read about the three of them wanting to leave the band. The Terry Kath Experience was done by his daughter if I remember right. It gives you more insight on Terry, which I thought was prob one of the most underrated guitarist of the time and very humble.
Pete Cetera era o solista mor da banda e continua a fazer sucesso, já velho. Terry Kath e Robert Lamm também são excelentes. Cantei muitos sucessos da banda Chicago, de 1973 a 1976, na noite paulista, aqui no Brasil.
Terry plays guitar, but he also plays bass. In the early years before Chicago was Chicago, they already had a guitar player James William Guercio, but they needed a bass player so Terry became the vast CV player on the tour.
This song it alright. But when you hear the beginning of some of their older pieces you just sit up and take notice and then immersed. For me the brass added so much to the band.
Peter was criticized way too much from the band over this song. It was their first #1 song and they should have respected that. I think some of the band members did.
This had to be before the fight Peter had with the marines who broke his jaw it was wired shut for months. His voice sounds different as is the way his mouth moves. He also was heavier. He said in a few interviews he had to go on the road with the band even though his mouth was wired so, he sang differently…his teeth clenched, etc. After the wires were removed he said he just kept singing as if the wires were still there. He also has said he liked to play base because it was a four string guitar. I wish he would write a book. I love watching his interviews. He is one of our all time great singer/songwriter.!
Cetera es un buen músico, pero TK sencillamente era un GENIO, aquí se puede ver que Cetera no tiene gran dominio de la guitarra; pero TK toca el bajo como si fuese su instrumento de siempre.
That puzzled me for ages too, until a few years ago it suddenly dawned on me: Kath was a BLUES man, musically. A consummate player and fan of the blues (the music), had a bluesy voice, and that big honking MUSICAL NOTE on the front of the jersey. That jersey was a statement about HIMSELF, not a hockey team. (And I'm from St. Louis, BTW).
Well, why did Cameron in Ferris Buellers Day Off wear a Detroit Red Wings Jersey when he’s from Chicago❓🤷♂️ More interestingly, why were Horns added to Twist And Shout during parade in Ferris Bueller❔Food for thought.
One of the first Chicago songs to be a purely studio creation that couldn't be replicated live. Well, I guess that "I've Been Searching So Long" was really the first...
@@sharonlaforest6134 They didn't want Peter writing songs period. When he joined the band in 1967 he was not a songwriter, the same for Dennis Deyoung when Styx started but Robert Lamm encouraged Cetera to bring any ideas to the band, if he had any for songs. Cetera said in a 1995 interview " They'd tell what do you think your doing,? We have enough songwriters" and it sounds to me those were words from James Pankow. Lucky for them Cetera put up with up those crybabies long as he did. And Peter , David Foster, Seraphine and Bill Champlin are the ones who gave Chicago the band a revived career, they are the reason Chicago 16 was successful period. It was Dan Seraphine who brought Cetera into the original Chicago line up and later for Chicago 16 it was Seraphine who brought Foster/Champlin in to resuscitate their careers, thus Cetera/Seraphine saved the band but got kicked out by some jeoulous egotistical old men.
Pankow's comments were not necessary before the song and video started. Glad to hear someone in the band told him to "shut-up." He is so damn egotistical.
Yes he is and always has been way too much to take. The horns are great but without Peter Cetera's voice to compliment that, things would have been quite different.
Their best song?? You've got to be kidding me. I actually prefer a lot of Denver's music to this song. While I can appreciate your nostalgic fondness for it, I think it's a career low point for the band, artistically-speaking. IMO, It has nothing on classics like "Saturday in the Park", "25 or 6 to 4", or ""Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?"
I dont know about you all, but the song "Wishing you were here" is one freaking great song. What do you think?
I can play that on guitar all night long wishing you were here makes me weep
Saw the video (with the Beach Boys backing) for the first time last week, blew me away, no words, can't stop playing it.
Well, DUH! Sorry, but BeachAgo is my favourite

Beautiful memories! 😍
I was born in 66 as well. This is the stuff on the radio I liked, especially the earlier 1970 stuff
You're YOUNG❤
Kath was epic !!! I have a huge wall size picture of him framed above my recliner ❤
Long after we are all gone - this song will still be as beautiful as it was in the 70s. 🎶❤️🎶
And I am
True.
Exactly!!!
It went so fast tho!
When music didnt need backup dancers, flashy sets, unnecessary oohs and ahhs filling up space, real lyrics that had a message and the bands sounded as good onstage as their recordings. God I miss those days. Kids today have no idea.
60s and 70s was by far the best decades for as music goes and it's not even close.... I may been born in the mid 80s, but I know what good music is
because you needed talent, not autotune and smoke and mirrors.
SPOT ON!!!!!
Peter Cetera does play 12 string 🎸 really well, and his vocals ,as always, are awesome
I totally agree with you Patrick !! 😀
I’m sure he does, but something about this performance threw it off. Like he wasn’t as tight as other performances I know him for. great song regardless!

@@terrykathspotlight9916 I also read that Terry played bass at first maybe in another band not sure about that one.
@@chicagomusicfan8817 Yes, Terry played bass in Jimmy and The Gentlemen, when they did the Dick Clark Caravan of Stars
Terry Kath could play the bass too. But his forte was the electric guitar 🎸 He was THE BEST.
His fellow contemporary guitar players have all given testimony to that
@@rodgerpalmer9872 you are correct.
He was Awesome
This is schlock. Kath was done. If you watch the documentary his daughter did. He was ready to do some rock sans the horns. What could have been

He seemed to be trying to keep the crowd entertained. Just took the "shut up" a bit to personal. 😂

For sure. I loved watching and listening to him play his balls off!!!!
Ryan Henry it was when Peter left they fell apart they made 17 without terry there best ever

I've always imagined myself drowning in the pool of love.
One of the reasons i love soft rock
Bravo, bravo, bravo Maestro!!!
De la musique qui!''''coule''''gentiment'''extra!!!! sublime !!!!!

45 лет Т. К. нет с нами!
He was amazing R.I.P.
I kinda like it slowed down like this lol
"Hey, [trombone player] - shut up." We get that a lot. 🤷♀️
Superclásica de toda la vida...
Terry playing Bass 😉
Terry Kath playing a Fender Jazz Bass?
Yep! He played bass on this tune and "Wishing You Were Here". Terry played bass for years in the early bands...The Missing Links, Caravan of Stars....
I read that terry said he’d never play this song live cause he wasn’t on the studio recording. Cool to see him play bass here.
Terry plays guitar, but he also plays bass. In the early years before Chicago was Chicago, they already had a guitar player James William Guercio, but they needed a bass player so Terry became the vast CV player on the tour.
This song it alright. But when you hear the beginning of some of their older pieces you just sit up and take notice and then immersed. For me the brass added so much to the band.
"Pankow shut up, please shut up"
At the end of the song Lee was mocking Peter and was so glad to see Walter put him in his place.
Peter was criticized way too much from the band over this song. It was their first #1 song and they should have respected that. I think some of the band members did.
When was Lee mocking Peter?
@@MarcBarkyMarta he means Jimmy I think...
@@MarcBarkyMarta after Peter took a bow at the end then Lee sarcastically jestered the same.
Chicago Music Fan ah, I see Lee bouncing up and down bowing. I didn’t realize that was derogatory toward Pete.
Hay amor? Bella song 😍💙
This had to be before the fight Peter had with the marines who broke his jaw it was wired shut for months. His voice sounds different as is the way his mouth moves. He also was heavier. He said in a few interviews he had to go on the road with the band even though his mouth was wired so, he sang differently…his teeth clenched, etc. After the wires were removed he said he just kept singing as if the wires were still there. He also has said he liked to play base because it was a four string guitar. I wish he would write a book. I love watching his interviews. He is one of our all time great singer/songwriter.!
Peter's broken jaw happened in 1969...his entire career with Chicago was post assault.
a great cetera video
Cetera es un buen músico, pero TK sencillamente era un GENIO, aquí se puede ver que Cetera no tiene gran dominio de la guitarra; pero TK toca el bajo como si fuese su instrumento de siempre.
Never leave Terry 👻👻
Rick camacho, Janice navarretteThank you for the good time'sMay 1976. Feb 2017 the best song ever.
Me being from Chicago, I still can't understand how Terry Kath wore Blues jerseys as a Blackhawks fan. Lol
That puzzled me for ages too, until a few years ago it suddenly dawned on me: Kath was a BLUES man, musically. A consummate player and fan of the blues (the music), had a bluesy voice, and that big honking MUSICAL NOTE on the front of the jersey. That jersey was a statement about HIMSELF, not a hockey team. (And I'm from St. Louis, BTW).
Well, why did Cameron in Ferris Buellers Day Off wear a Detroit Red Wings Jersey when he’s from Chicago❓🤷♂️
More interestingly, why were Horns added to Twist And Shout during parade in Ferris Bueller❔Food for thought.
One of the first Chicago songs to be a purely studio creation that couldn't be replicated live. Well, I guess that "I've Been Searching So Long" was really the first...
Who did the lights on this show? Great audio but if they didn't allow flash cameras in the audience I'd think my screen was broken.
HUM CALOR DESSE É ELES DE ROUPAS COMPRIDAS EU EM 👍😎
"Hey Pankow! Shut up." 😂
😂😂😂😂
We've all yelled that at one time or another.
@@warrenenglish942 not an excuse !!!!!
I heard that too! Lol..also Terry Kath on bass and counts the song in
Now I see why people say that Pankow was a asshole. Bet he wasn’t making a comment like that when he saw his bank account.
In my opinion Pankow resented Peter once he started to emerge as a songwriter and contributed to the band's first #1 song.
@@sharonlaforest6134 They didn't want Peter writing songs period. When he joined the band in 1967 he was not a songwriter, the same for Dennis Deyoung when Styx started but Robert Lamm encouraged Cetera to bring any ideas to the band, if he had any for songs. Cetera said in a 1995 interview " They'd tell what do you think your doing,? We have enough songwriters" and it sounds to me those were words from James Pankow. Lucky for them Cetera put up with up those crybabies long as he did. And Peter , David Foster, Seraphine and Bill Champlin are the ones who gave Chicago the band a revived career, they are the reason Chicago 16 was successful period. It was Dan Seraphine who brought Cetera into the original Chicago line up and later for Chicago 16 it was Seraphine who brought Foster/Champlin in to resuscitate their careers, thus Cetera/Seraphine saved the band but got kicked out by some jeoulous egotistical old men.
Ok, I gotta ask, when exactly did Robert Lamm encourage Peter to bring any ideas to the band? I’ll have to look that up
Pankow's comments were not necessary before the song and video started. Glad to hear someone in the band told him to "shut-up." He is so damn egotistical.
Yes he is and always has been way too much to take. The horns are great but without Peter Cetera's voice to compliment that, things would have been quite different.
Maybe people think the same about you. Whenever you dislike something about someone, check yourself for the same trait.
To THIS DAY, Pankow is an OBNOXIOUS show off!
@@tonyde52 I agree 100%.
@@reginaboudreau5457 Without the horn section Chicago wouldn't have been the same.
Does anyone know the model of the keyboard that brings the great mood to the song?
So what's wrong with John Denver? Kind of a hack thing to say.
They are just referring to the disparity of the styles
Thank god for Punk Rock
About as far away from John Denver as can be. It is their best song..the opening chords bring me right back to the 70's more than any other song.
Their best song?? You've got to be kidding me. I actually prefer a lot of Denver's music to this song. While I can appreciate your nostalgic fondness for it, I think it's a career low point for the band, artistically-speaking. IMO, It has nothing on classics like "Saturday in the Park", "25 or 6 to 4", or ""Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?"
@@colico14 wah "these song is not 25 or 6 to 4" wah
@@colico14 It's a pretty number, but yeah, this to me has nothing on 'Make Me Smile' or 'Questions 67 and 68'
GREAT BAND BETTER WITH TERRY KATH!!!
