Going down a Terry Kath rabbit hole in 2024.....and so glad I did. Fire, soul and groove in a powerhouse performance.
My brother was a student at SUNY Brockport in 1971 and “ Chicago “ was scheduled to play at the Ice arena… there was a terrible snowstorm that day into the night . The band was there already so the show must go on ! There weren’t many people due to the storm , the band took the stage .. looked around.. and asked us all to sit at the edge of the stage and in the first few rows. They played their set , then asked for requests.. even if they had already played the song , they played it again . Well , I’m 71 years old now and that’s the best goddamn show I’ve ever been to ! Thank you Terry , James , Lee , Walt , Peter , Danny and Robert !
Terry Kath was a beast. He manhandled that Stratocaster like it was a toy. There will never be another guitarist like him again.
Is anyone as obsessed with this concert as I am? It's led me to believe that Chicago is one of the top bands of all time.
Lord knows how much I miss real music performed by actual musicians.
CTA broke the mold in melding rock, blues and jazz far ahead of their time. Sadly they couldn’t get any radio airtime until the expansion of FM and “Make Me Smile” charted. Their long format songs kept them off profitable corporate radio but endeared them to local concert venue goers everywhere.
jimi hendrix said Terry Kath was the “best guitarist in the universe” this concert really shows you what he was talking about. RIP to a true legend
Can't get over how good Terry Kath was. Unbelievable.
Terry Kath was the heart and soul of this band! Love what he did!
Terry Kath with that voice at 23 years old in 1970. Amazing. So soulful. Never could another voice or guitarist come close to his unique talent.
The energy is contagious. The best of the 1970s.
2022 glad to see people still appreciate this.
This recording is one of the great treasures on youtube. What an unbelievable band. The real Chcago.
No pyro, no smoke machines, no big fancy light show...just a super talented band kicking ass for 90 minutes.
JUST HARD TO BEAT THE GREAT MUSIC THEY MADE. IM 71 AND STILL JAMMIN TO THERE MUSIC. ALWAYS WILL
Whenever I watch this show, I start out with a gentle smile and end up with a massive grin and tears of joy. What a time to be alive.
Everyone in the band was awesome and everyone in the band was in awe of Terry Kath
I always find myself coming back to this live show... masterpiece!
They just may be the most talented band of all time. This is real music. From real talented people. Today's music isn't anywhere close to this.
