@@RD-jc2eu All I was pointing out is the issues that prevented this recording from being a seminal moment in music. I am actually astonished how well they could even pull off these massive live shows in the 1960s and 1970s with the pretty meager tube amps of the day and their lack of clean headroom for high gains, relatively small speakers where 18" cones were "big", and analog mixing consoles with very few discrete channels, I gig Karaoke on a 16 channel mixer yet quite possibly that whole band may have been on that few channels for its primary mix with perhaps the rhythm section and brass mixed into a 2nd mixer that was then a single channel feed to the primary mix. They would have recorded the audio from that primary console (the same feed that went to the power amps / venue sound). The sound quality of the recording is as good as can be expected with period equipment, but the actual mix (sound engineer) really let is down on that front. Levels were good everywhere except for the brass and with a band like Chicago, that is a huge problem with that horn section being such a large part of their sound.
Somewhere in my travels I heard that Jimi's favorite guitarist was Billy Gibbons... Really can't go wrong either way. It's fortunate that Billy is still with us; we lost Terry way too soon. Cheers!
@VinnieDelvecchio I heard that about Billy being Jimi's guy too. They toured together for a short period. Makes sense. Understandable too given Billy's early stuff.
@ When a band member of Chicago said Jimi, who was standing right off the stage watching, told him Terry was a better guitar player than him and that was right after Chicago came off the stage, I tend to believe him. That was the same time when Jimi then asked Chicago to tour with him. Obviously he was very impressed. I think Jimi had several guitarist he liked and many who influenced him but when he was also quoted as saying he thought Terry was the best guitarist in the universe, I think it’s clear he loved Terry’s playing. Rightfully so too. In this video we saw Terry give a tremendous performance. This is coming from a guy who has every Hendrix record, who had posters of him on my wall growing up and has read several books about Jimi. I started listening to Hendrix in the sixth grade. I love me some Jimi and Jimi loved him some Terry.
@@aldrob108Hendrix was in awe of several contemporary guitarists, and said ( as you’ve stated) they were better than him!. He was once asked during an interview,are you the greatest guitarist of our time. His reply ( which I am sure you are aware of) was the guitarist sat in this chair!. Like your self, I have read books seen numerous documentaries about the life of Hendrix. It’s my opinion ( as a classical trained guitarist), Hendrix realised he had technical limitations due to being self taught. Having said that, he still remains one of my favourite guitarist and unlike his contemporary’s, he was much more than an excellent musician. He was a composer and visionary.
One of the best things about you and your channel is that you LISTEN to your viewers. You are endlessly curious about music and its creative process and it shows. Thank you for that - for everything.
This is old school here. You got a group of superb musicians who are just playing the sh*t out of their instruments. And look at their faces! Pure enjoyment and camaraderie amongst themselves. It makes a music lover want to cry. Feeling blessed I was raised on this stuff.
Steely Dan, is one of those bands. If you like Chicago, you will like Steely Dan. Try "Reeling in the Years", I've mentioned this before, they are so good.
@@LukeDaDrifter-lj2nh I doubt he had any regrets. He had 2 number one solo hits right after he left and i think he was pretty much shown the door like they did to Danny.
Keep in mind that this whole concert is available and shows off their many different styles. It's worth a watch the whole way through. Terry (guitar), Peter (Bass), and Robert(keys), were all songwriters and lead singers in their own songs. Regardless, thanks for doing this one. Love every second of it.
“So if you’re annoyed…meh🖕!” Quite right too. Your channel, your rules! Your genuine reactions, genuine pleasure & enthusiasm at hearing great music, that’s why we watch you, sharing that enjoyment. You can’t beat sharing pleasure in discovering greatness, art, music, film etc with a mate, doing it in person is obviously best, but this comes a great 2nd. Thanks my’ansum, love from Annie, in Cornwall🙂🌸
Annie in Cornwall, this is Meredith from Huntington Beach, CA. I have always wanted to go to Cornwall. In spite of being in your wonderful country several times, we’ve never made it there. Is it as wonderful as it seems?
@ yes! Hi Meredith, Cornwall is beautiful, we're surrounded on 3 sides (well 2 really, since we're the last county of England & no matter which way you go, you'll get to a beach), miles of golden sand, wild moorland and beautiful rivers through woods & valleys, we have it all, packed into our small county. It's definitely worth a visit if you venture "across the pond" again.🙂🌸
You're gonna be amazed at how broad Chicago's repertoire is. You're only scratching the surface with them, no matter how far you get. Their song, "Saturday in the Park" is a fun one, somewhat different from this one, but great. Top tier musicians who broke the mold.
I'm an old guy, so got to see them do this live in the early '70s. Real musicians, real talent. No synthetic, electronic,auto-tuned crap thats passed off in todays market. The corporate "music industry" has done more to kill raw talent than any other intiety. The public should IMO, stop buying into it and demand better.❤
Fellow Old Guy (retired) here... Just about the only thing real now is live at local clubs or the guy playing country/western songs on a guitar sitting on a stool in a restaurant that has sawdust on the floor. Or watching old-timers at a State Fair (like how I saw Meat Loaf several years ago, where my daughter kept saying "He did that one?").
Put on the first album, ‘Chicago Transit Authority’, first song, Terry Kath’s “Introduction”, and let it play! The balls of these guys, to release their debut album as a double album. This whole Tanglewood show is great, by the way.
I first saw Al Kooper with the Blues Project, and then BS&T playing in Chicago - with David Clayton Thomas singing and Bill Cosby, doing comedy while they finished setting up and then playing the rest of the night on drums. I've also seen David Clayton Thomas performing as BS&T decades later in California. When I told him I had seen him play in Chicago, he asked me who was on drums? When I said Bill Cosby, he said - Yep - You were there!
I saw Chicago in 1972 in Portland Oregon. I was 20 and pregnant with my first baby. It was awesome to go to live concerts back then. Tickets were cheap and everyone was high! 💙👵🏼☮️
One of the best guitar solos of ALL TIME! Jimi Hendrix called Terry Kath the greatest guitarist on the planet. Unfortunately Kath accidentally shot himself and died at age 32. You will love this song, it’s an all time bro!
I saw Chicago a couple of weeks later in 1970 at Steel Pier in Atlantic City which was a venue for about 2000 max. Funny thing is that I was 10 years old and had a general admission ticket to this "Amusement Pier" for the day and all of a sudden, I see a bunch of hippies heading for the bandshell at the end of the Pier and i just followed along and saw my first Rock concert. I remember being blown away. I also remember Terry Kath introducing the song Make Me Smile as being written by "Jimmy Trombone", i.e. James Pankow who played Trombone and wrote most of their brass section parts.
The mentality of the 70's musicians was for the sake of the Art of music .... master your instrument or instruments and your vocals if you could sing. It was all of the art. today's musicians mentality is about creating a catchy song to make money and popularity. The 70's musician or artist cared about giving the public inspired music that they created and didn't care about whether we liked it or not and they didn't care Fam and we supported them with money for the unique and signature sound or delivery of that sound and it registered in our souls.
"Beginnings", "Questions 67 & 68", "Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is", "Saturday In The Park", and "Feelin' Stronger Every Day", are good starters.
You just witnessed one of my top five guitar solos of all time. I'm 65 and remember when this came out. I got the album and at ten years old nearly soiled my drawers over the whole thing. Kath is one of my favorite guitar players if not the top. RIP Terry. P.S. Even with no guitar, you do an excellent guitar face!!!
Don't apologize for rewinds. Anyone who loves this music is right there with you enjoying it a second time. I love that you not only enjoy the music but learn the different members and their names. Only a true fan does that. Keep rocking, mollyboy.
Knew you would love this, it's a real experience! I like that you replay parts because that shows your true interest and love for music, keep rockin' MollyBoy!!
Great reaction! like others have said I like it when you rewind, it shows your resect ad appreciation of the music. I am sorry this link had a muffled sound. There are clear copies of this live performance out there. Please look for one and relisten for your own enjoyment. Keep up the great reactions, you make my day when you release something new. I have seen Chicago live 4 times; they are awesome.
My beautiful hubby was a Drummer in the U S Marine Corps Band 😎 He could play any Chicago song ... he was that good and Chicago was his fav. group 😍 🤗 😍
Aaahh, Chicago! Terry Kath's guitar solo is one of the absolute best in rock! He was a monster!! Great job for listening to them at Tanglewood! I still, in 2024 listen to them in my truck when I'm driving somewhere!❤
So glad you could do this without covering the video. It often seems like we don’t get to feel the full reaction with you when we can’t see what you see.
I only ever cover the videos when there’s nothing else left I can do for RUclips to allow me to upload it. I know it’s annoying, I hate it too but sometimes it’s that or not video at all ☹️ I appreciate you sticking around to watch the videos even when they’re covered though
You would have loved growing up during the late 60's and 70's. It really was the best time for music and concerts. I have listened to all types of music up until this point, and I enjoy many, but nothing compares to the music of that time. Nothing. I hope you keep on listening.
Thanks for viewing this! Love your reactions! Kath was probably in the top ten list of great guitarists. Died too young. Love this live performance, especially when they're still trying to set up the cymbal stands at the beginning.
Music isn’t about age, genre or instrument. It’s about pure talent! This is as pure as talent can be. I’ve seen them many times, and each time it’s better than before. They’ve been touring for over 50 years together. Lead singer left for a solo career but it went nowhere. Lead guitar passed away in a horrible gun accident. RIP Terry. The horn section is stunning in live performance and keyboards, my favorite, Robert Lamb. ❤. Please react to Saturday in the Park. Thank you!
I love that this guitar solo starts modest and quickly becomes unhinged and beautiful. Terry Kath was one of a kind. Not to mention he also had an amazing voice
I was introduced to Chicago in the early 70s when I was in high school. Our band director loved their records and played them in the band room on huge speakers. I wasn’t able to see them live until college after their Chicago X came out, but the original band members were all there. Loved Terry Kath and Peter Cetera❤️
I arrived/emigrated to the United States on Jan 24 1978 and landed in (LA) Woodland Hills, CA (Topanga & Victory) - the very next day after Terry Kath died in the same Woodland Hills, CA of all places! And I was already big fan of Chicago - you can just imagine how I felt!
The first time I heard this guitar solo back in the late 70’s it was one of the few times in my life where it was so good that it almost didn’t seem real. RIP to one of the true greats Terry Kath
Wow! Thanks for listening to this so soon after the studio version. I think that is the right way to hear songs; studio version first, then the live version. The horns are what made Chicago unique: they were full-time members of the band, not just touring musicians or session players. Horns are very familiar to most Americans, and I wonder is that the case in the UK? LMK Pretty much every high school in the US and a lot of colleges have marching bands that are mostly horns and woodwinds. So if you didn't play in band yourself then you at least had a friend or maybe quite a few who were in band and played horns. Thanks for listening and sharing! Peace from SF
❤🎉❤ Congratulations on being entertained by musical and vocal Royalty!! 🎉🎉🎉 Terry, Danny, Peter and everyone else in Chicago!! We have been blessed since our teens with this ear candy in the 60's and 70's !! RIP Terry 😢
Great reaction, MB! At the end Peter Cetera (vocalist, bassist) says "Terry Kath!" acknowledging the out of this world performance that was just delivered
I cried two times in my life when celebrities died. What's for Terry Kath and once for Thurman Munson a baseball player for the Yankees.😢😢 Both of them made big impact on my life. Because they were good at what they did right up to the final breath 🎉🎉❤❤😊
Never apologize for rewinding when the music moves you! That's why we all watch your reactions - they’re real.🤘🏼
^This is why we keep coming back.
^ THIS ^ it's why we're here 🤘🎶
We all do that I'll bet.😉
I totally agree!
Those of us who grew up with it and loved it then enjoy hearing it over and over with you!
And THAT was the Great Terry Kath on guitar!!! Shredder extraordinaire!!🎵🎼🎶🎸🎸🎸🎸
I have a strange question. Where did you find music emojis. Mine disappeared.
@Fuphyter I found them just searching my emojies on my phone. I have an android.
@@marcieharreld286 thanks. I have an android tablet, no cell phone tho. I have a land line, old school lol
@Fuphyter we have landlines at work...boss is old school!! I have no idea how to find the emojis on a pad!!🤔🤔
He was amazing there is a great documentary out there about Chicago they deep dive into Terry especially. It was a great one.
Terry beating on that guitar like it owes him money.
That’s a great description. It really made me laugh!
This might be Chicago at their finest..
It would be if the mix was better. The trumpet really cuts through, and is a little flat, but the sax and bone can hardly be heard at all.
@@larrybremer4930 It's a live recording from 1970! No tracks, no auto tune, just a great live performance with warts and all!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@larrybremer4930 Yeah... I think Tanglewood was an outdoor setting, so makes real challenges for recording in 1970.

That is the other part of Tanglewood I love.
Omg yes!!
The white Ray Charles is that bluesy, gorgeous baritone!
Absolutely, I hope he does it too!!
OMG YES!
This guitar solo is the definition of "the zone" He was somewhere else, no doubt...
He was impatient to get started and reluctant to end it. He just wanted to PLAY!
What passion!
Terry always appeared to give others their dues.

Yeah you witnessed one of the best guitar solo ever, from one of the best guitarist EVER, underrated
Who underrated him? Possibly unheard of because he was so long when he died?
My enjoyment of watching your enjoyment is only surpassed by the enjoyment of Terry Kath playing 🔥
The best song ever written about trying to write a song🎶🎶🎶

Rock and Roll with a brass section! Gotta love it.
Can you imagine how much his forearm was burning after that solo? Love the swinging hair.
One of the best guitar solos of ALL TIME! Jimi Hendrix called Terry Kath the greatest guitarist on the planet. Unfortunately Kath accidentally shot himself and died at age 32. You will love this song, it’s an all time bro!
Jimmy hendrix also called billy gibbons his favorite guitarist.
Always enjoy watching MollyBoy react to the songs of my youth. We were blessed. Massively.

We told you. Haha. Glad you liked it. I suggest I'm a Man next and then Saturday in the Park.
Chicago was my favorite band in the 70’s. I saw them several times live, including with Terry Kath. They were always incredible ❤️
To play an instrument with that much passion you have to feel the music.
The music of my youth! Amazing talent in the '70's. We knew how to have fun. 😊

Listeh to the bass behind the solo! It's badass too!
That was so good it hurt, these great 70s bands toured a lot. We were at live shows all the time
I'm 65 today. Crazy that I was 11 when this was performed!
Happy Birthday!!
@@jaquestraw1 Happy Birthday !!🎂
I'm 50 and I wasn't even born when they performed this.
So am I , loved them then, faceless albums and all, the music was just that good. Fast forward 50+years and would you believe still at it.
@ekat911 That's terrific! Whoo hoo!! Once a Chicago fan, always a Chicago fan!
I was 16 when I first heard this, it blew my mind. Fantastic reaction. Thank you 🏴🏴🏴

Two distinctly different Chicago eras. The Terry Kath era and after Terry Kath passed. RIP Terry Kath. Rock and Roll misses you.
Personally I don't like the post Terry Kath era. Just all mushy ballad stuff. Totally lost their rockin' edge.

Listening to Terry play never gets old.
This was accidentally the best intro to this song ever conceived.
I arrived/emigrated to the United States on Jan 24 1978 and landed in (LA) Woodland Hills, CA (Topanga & Victory) - the very next day after Terry Kath died in the same Woodland Hills, CA of all places! And I was already big fan of Chicago - you can just imagine how I felt!
Nothing like raw talent in it's purest form.
This is only the second time that I’ve seen Chicago play this live! Thank you, brother!!!
I was a teen in the 70's.,We didn't know how good we had it!!!
Song NEVER gets old. Cheers.
I was there, yeah I'm old. First concert ever. Great memories.
WOW!!!! Must have been amazing. I love Tanglewood. Great place to hear music
I ALWAYS rewind for that guitar solo! One of the most underrated guitarists of all time!
Same comment as the first. Terry Kath is a fucking monster.
Terry Kath puts on a masterclass on guitar. One of the best guitar solos you’ll ever see. A criminally underrated, underappreciated guitarist.
The first time I heard this guitar solo back in the late 70’s it was one of the few times in my life where it was so good that it almost didn’t seem real. RIP to one of the true greats Terry Kath
"If you leave me now" is an awesome song!
By Chicago of course
❤
Live at Tanglewood how long I've waited for this. Berkshire mountains of Massachusetts. Iconic.
What I love about music from the 60s and 70s is that they poured EVERYTHING they had into their music. Wonderful decades for music.
No one ever talks about Terry Kath. One of the greatest and most underrated guitarists in rock. Chicago was never the same after he died.
Wow! Thanks for listening to this so soon after the studio version. I think that is the right way to hear songs; studio version first, then the live version. The horns are what made Chicago unique: they were full-time members of the band, not just touring musicians or session players. Horns are very familiar to most Americans, and I wonder is that the case in the UK? LMK
Pretty much every high school in the US and a lot of colleges have marching bands that are mostly horns and woodwinds. So if you didn't play in band yourself then you at least had a friend or maybe quite a few who were in band and played horns.
Thanks for listening and sharing!

Mad genius on that guitar - outer world experience just watching him !!!!!!!! He was chosen to show what a gifted human is !!!!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️
That whole show is absolutely amazing. “Beginnings”, “Does Anybody Know What Time It Is”, “Make Me Smile”… Insane
Horns on this track are undeniable. Fantastic.
It is so refreshing to see younger people love and appreciate the music I grew up listening to! So many great artists! I truly enjoy your reactions!
Love Chicago 😍
❤🎉❤ Congratulations on being entertained by musical and vocal Royalty!!
🎉🎉🎉 Terry, Danny, Peter and everyone else in Chicago!! We have been blessed since our teens with this ear candy in the 60's and 70's !! RIP Terry 😢
Great reaction, MB! At the end Peter Cetera (vocalist, bassist) says "Terry Kath!" acknowledging the out of this world performance that was just delivered
50+ years on, and it still slaps!
i;m so glad i grew up thru the 60's and 70's to be able to enjoy this great music

I cried two times in my life when celebrities died. What's for Terry Kath and once for Thurman Munson a baseball player for the Yankees.😢😢 Both of them made big impact on my life. Because they were good at what they did right up to the final breath 🎉🎉❤❤😊
RIP Terry. One of the best to ever do it!
Famous last words: "It's not loaded!" Don't Play With Guns!
Amen!!!🤘🤘🤘🎵🎼🎶
This band started from the 60’s, like so many great bands. They were very popular with us teenagers back then. 💙
I saw them play in 1988 at Tanglewood my first date with my now husband, we married in 1992 and played Chicago at our wedding 😊❤
