My guess is that he was somewhat "unconscious" while playing. I don't think anyone can think about that much and that fast... attack notes and rhythm. In retrospect, he probably could not have remembered the whole solo.

I got a chance to watch parts of Terry's daughter's video on her dad...they were searching for his missing guitars. She told the story about his mom sending him to a professional to take lessons. He came home after the second lesson and told his mom he wasn't going back. When he was pressed, he told her, "They won't let me play the guitar the way it was meant to be played." That's amazing and it says so much about his insight into the guitar.

Thomas, I've watched a couple documentaries on Terry Kath and one thing sticks in my mind more than anything else. His mom sent him to get guitar lessons and as she picked him up from his second lesson, she asked him when the next one was. He told her he wasn't going back. When she asked why, he told her. "He won't let me play the guitar the way it was made to be played". Looks like he figured it out.

I wept on and off for a week after Terry died. He was both the creative and musical engine of Chicago. The story Robert Lamm tells is that his lyrics were just words until Terry Kath and James Pankow (trombonist) got in the studio and got the music right. They did it in one day. They also created and arranged the horn parts almost immediately. That's how good they were.

However, when I listen to Chicago live I'm convinced they were one of the absolute elite. Every musician, song, performance....impeccable from start to finish. This group had it ALL: great songwriting, elite musicianship, PASSION, extraordinary vocals, and attention to detail. No one artist or group is "The Best," but few have done it as well as Chicago.

I never noticed it myself, but I read one time that someone thought Terry Kath sounded like Ray Charles when he sang. I got to thinking about it and he really did…almost in an uncanny, unnoticeable way! For some reason, most people don’t associate their voices. I just got through watching this all the way through, and watching Terry literally brought tears to my eyes because he was sooo incredibly good. It was just the epitome of someone being what psychologists call a “self-actualized” person, and being absolutely the best they can be. It is just an emotional thing to watch because he’s so otherworldly. And for the world to lose someone like this at such an early age because of a senseless accident…it’s just so incredibly sad. It’s like losing John Lennon…so sad and unfair to the world. How much did the musical world miss out on because they died so early?! 🫤 And by the way, let’s don’t forget that Jimi Hendrix told Terry Kath that Terry was better than him. That pretty much says it all as far as Terry’s talent. I really don’t think it’s possible for anyone to be any better than Terry. There’s just so high a human being can reach and I think Terry reached the pinnacle.

Over 50 years after first getting this record, when watching this clip of this tune and this band - that original lineup - it still sounds as thrilling as ever. Indeed, the complete show from which this is extracted is phenomenal. For those not so familiar with the early Chicago: We read about Hendrix saying that Terry Kath was 'the best'. That happened after he saw Chicago (then named Chicago Transit Authority) at the Whiskey a Go-Go on Sunset Strip. He invited the band to open his upcoming tour. Al Kooper was also in the Whiskey audience. Impressed, he flew back to NYC, where he quickly assembled a like-minded band - Blood, Sweat & Tears - and secured a record deal (as a hit songwriter, having been in Bob Dylan's band and been a member of the Blues Project he had some pull). His intent was to release a jazz-rock record before Chicago did, which is exactly what he did in February 1968. Though their 'Child is Father to the Man' had some success, Chicago Transit Authority's debut in April 1969 was the one that really scored big and kicked off the jazz-rock craze in a big way. Being a double album packed with great tunes ('Introduction', 'Beginnings', 'Does Anyone Really Know What Time It Is?' etc. and priced about 60 cents more than a single disc it was an compelling bargain and - albeit slowly at first - became a major hit. "25 or 6 to Four" is from 'Chicago', the band's second album, also a double. The shortened name was forced upon them by the real Chicago Transit Authority of the City of Chicago, who threatened to sue them. How ironic that once the band became a success the City treated them like honoured sons. That debut album contains 'Free Form Guitar', several minutes of just Kath and his guitar generating roaring and wailing with feedback howling, sounding at times like a war zone. Hendrix would do the same with 'The Star Spangled Banner' at the Woodstock Festival in August '69, several months after the release of that Chicago Transit Authority album containing 'Free Form Guitar'.

There was only one Hendrix one Page and then Terry Kath. I don’t hardly see how you can say one was better that the other. Three of the greatest that ever played the guitar!

This was an eye opening song for me when I was a kid. I saw a band cover this live and it blew me away. To this day one of my favorites

I got to see them in concert in the early 70's what a fantastic band. Terry Kath was a amazing. Of course Danny and Peter are no slouches either. The horn section was unbeatable then. I was a drummer ina garage band back then and couldn't wait to see Danny, but was wept away by everyone else too. On the record Danny does this great flam on the backbeat but in concert just through it in once in awhile. You can tell by the pace of the live version he was just keeping amazing time. Good job on the break down. I remember being in total shock when I heard Terry had died. I just couldn't believe it. I would love to see where his music would have gone had he still been with us.

I was 14 when he died and I still remember where I was and what a gut punch it was to me.

In an interview Danny points out that when you listen to the studio version you can hear that it's 'two' drum kits. As if one Danny wasn't enough on the record !!! But your point of all these great elements colliding when they played is something we're just so fortunate to have heard. So uplifting.

My first rock concert was either Terry Kath's last or penultimate show. Dad took me either to November 30th or December 1st, 1977 at Oakland Coliseum Arena. First rock concert with friends was Rolling Stones at Candlestick Park. Alas, that ticket stub is missing too.

Terry Kath rockin' the Jay Leno "Canadian Tuxedo" and blowing minds! Such an amazing talent tragically taken away too soon.

I can’t believe you even attempted to dissect this! Thank you! This has been my favorite song since it can out. Yes, I’m old. Terry was why Chicago was my favorite band until he passed. He doesn’t get near the discussion he deserves. Thanks again!

Awesome song by this great band. Terry Kath easily rates in my top 3 rock guitarists of all time, if not #1. I was fortunate to have seen him and Chicago live almost 50 years ago. This video clearly captures his incredible artistry and talent. I’m no guitarist myself, I tried but couldn’t get my left and right hands to talk to each other, but I found this reaction and analysis to be extremely interesting. Thank you.

Excellent video. The trombone on this song is one of my favorite things ever. TK is a god! Thank you for making it.

"Is that how it ends on the record?" - followed by some real hard thoughts about that closing chord progression. THIS. This reminds me of high school me 20+ years ago learning guitar after hearing this song. Sitting there with my guitar and an old rough "Chicago Transit Authority" LP trying to learn by ear... Loved your video - I know it wasn't your intention, but man, that brought back some good memories!

+1 Leonid's previous/original guitarist, gone for 18 or so months now, particularly had the Terry feel down... I saw them twice live in their mostly pre-covid configuration (some member changes since, still very good), and while their take on this song wasn't nearly as long, that guy's solos were inhumanly (seemingly) effortless. I'm sure he was channeling him. Probably watched this video a few times!
