I saw him just a week before this when I was in Pittsburgh and I did not recognize him at first. He gained so much weight. I even asked my friend "Is it him" ? Just then he turned towards me and then I knew...I was only 5 rows back. But one thing for sure is that he never missed a note playing or singing...the man was so good. There's some isolated guitar work of him out there on some "Chicago" stuff that really gives you a hint of how good he was as a player. I'm so glad his daughter put that fantastic documentary together to honor him. He truly deserved that !

I was at this concert in Houston, 1977. The same experience happened to me. I didn’t recognize him either. We were very close up at the side and Terry came forward to sing a lead song I was surprised. We didn’t have the internet or anything like that back then so you never really saw many pictures except on album covers or magazines. Great performance though. Beautiful, rich voice and unbelievably talented guitarist.

@@thomasmaxwell8353 You aren't incorrect - he has been snarky and douchy in regards to Chicago. I used to be more critical of him for that, but after reading Danny's book and watching how the core members have handled the business end of the band, I now understand Peter a lot better - they're about touring and making money, no matter who is on that stage. That was the case in 85 when he wanted a break and they wanted another album and tour, it was the case when Danny was voted out of the band, and is the case now as players come and go without much of the public knowing or noticing. Even with that, we only see the tip of the iceberg. To me, that's what makes a video like this so great - how great they were with Terry, when they were a songwriting unit that cranked out only great albums.

So glad we are able to all these years later still listen to for my money one of the greatest bands ever.

Compared to earlier vids, Terry does not look healthy. His voice is not as strong here. He looks a little "out of it." In an interview with Lamm, he said Terry worried them because he became very involved with a "personal" dealer. They all admit to partying, but Terry was changing. Even his wife said he was becoming more secluded toward the end. This came from Terry's daughter, through the film she made about Terry.

I remember right after "Chicago Transit Authority" played that night, "Sam & Dave" came on to perform and Terry was standing right behind Sam & Dave on stage and was literally dancing and grooving on stage during Sam & Dave's whole performance. He was a fan too!

The day I heard of his passing on the radio was a shocking blow. In my world, the tragic event would have been THE news story for days. I remember the neighborhood I was driving through that sunny afternoon. I ran up on a certain kind of dead end that day. I wanted to blame someone or something, but it was what it was, and it had to be endured plain and simple. I played Chicago eight-tracks w/o ceasing and Chicago albums over and over again. I tried to play my acoustic Epiphone guitar out of a great Chicago songbook. Chicago posters from the Live at Carnegie Hall box set of albums on my wall. I include favorite cuts on my cd-r's and mp3, namely Song for Girl from Buchanon suite, Hour in the Shower, Questions 67 & 68, Beginnings, Mississippi Delta City Blues. RIP Terry Kath. Unfortunately Chicago was over with, no disrespect intended for those who carried on. What else could you do?

Cetera's interest in music began at 11 years of age when his parents bought him an accordion instead of the guitar he wanted. When he was 15, some older students from his high school took him to a club to see a band called The Rebel Rockers, which led to his purchasing an acoustic guitar at Montgomery Ward. He eventually took up the electric bass, and with some high school friends-a drummer, guitarist and saxophone player-Cetera began playing the local dance circuit, dividing lead vocals with the guitarist. Cetera played in several groups in the Chicago area, including a popular local rock band named The Exceptions, which toured the Midwest in the mid-1960s. They released several singles and a five-song seven-inch EP titled Rock 'N' Roll Mass. Cetera is quoted as saying, " 'By the time I was 18 I was making more money than my dad.

In high school during the summer, Cetera and his buddies would head over to the Indiana Dunes (a Lake Michigan beach area) where he'd just sit there and noodle on guitar (and attract girls) while the other guys got drunk, puked and passed out. I visited that beach last year and pictured that whole scene while seeing the distant, faint outline of Chicago's skyline. Any Chicago/Cetera fan should do that at least once. Plus the Indiana Dunes really are nice. Cetera truly was a guy who chose the road less traveled, and he was all the better for it.

I'm thinking, "Dang - and this is that poor soul at top weight, beat up by drugs, fighting personal discouragement... and he STILL blows that magic right through that guitar." You can't help but wonder, and imagine: what if he'd been able to clean up, get it together, and stay with us to today? Particularly if he'd let Chicago head off into Balladville, gone solo, and gone back to jazz-rock and all the everything-else he could do. What more sheer brilliance would we have today? So, so sad.

Clearly, no one in his right mind plays a game of Russian Roulette with a loaded weapon without either being psychologically disturbed/ill or suffering from extreme drug intoxication/paralysis and/or mental depression or psychosis. Never realized how gifted this guy was both in the vocal context and on the guitar. He had some serious chops and he sounded like an African American with outstanding timbre and resonance.

Chicago, still fantastic all these years later. Kath is such a monster player--rock solid time, outstanding chops--a great voice. The band as a whole is really outstanding. Check out this transition from Ballet For A Girl In Buchannon to the next tune: Horn soli sets up Kath's solo, sets up the horns repeating the last three notes on top of the organ pad, drops down a minor 3rd and plays that dark line! 22:42

Agree with everything everyone has said; Peter’s, Bobby’s and Terry’s leads and harmonies were AMAZING. EVERYONE’S playing was absolutely stellar. -Terry was definitely in need of interventions to get him cleaned up and help him through his depression. -Peter have should have been allowed, and even encouraged, to do solo work while also working with Chicago. -Chicago should have tried to maintain their very innovative horn-driven and guitar-driven jazz-rock fusion music somehow. When they became a pop ballad band, they lost, sadly, their innovative and unique sound. -Firing Danny, the one who originally put the band together, and who was a fantastic and creative drummer, was a bad move too…

@@jeffnelson2028 Jeff, what happened to Danny Seraphine was wrong. I listened to those other guys bitching. They made it sound like he had just picked up a set of drumsticks the week before. Danny got into one of those slumps & had a problem keeping time. I listened to Bernard Purdie & even he said that a sound engineer told him to start using a click track, (like he would need one.) At any rate, I thought I'd comment because I know we're not the only ones out here that feel that way....

Terry Kath is, was and will be the greatest guitarist to date, and I loved Eddie and love Eric. But Terry played rhythm and lead while singing and blistering solos no one can touch while touring schedule that I think broke him. He was unhappy with new Chicago. His band had left the stage. Terry deserves to be recognized as one of the greatest guitarists of all time.

" My Personal Tribute for Terry " - - - All through my lifetime i have never - ever known him or anything about him - other than i knew someone else in that Band did sing a few of the Fantastic songs known as - Chicago - . I never comprehended just how " Out of this World " he played the Guitar & Sang . I never had the Privilege of seeing him performing , until this particular Video . This young man had an Unbelievable Talent of not only being able to sing , but to play the Guitar to extreme Perfection . He had way more Passion , Heart , & Soul in his entire body than most of us today . If he would still be with us - what more could we have been able to behold in our Music World of Today . His way of doing things & the words he sang is what caught my Attention ! I'm sure he was a Talent that probably wasn't Appreciated as he Soulfully deserved . He could of had a " One in a Million " Future Career , but so sadly was taken away from us too soon . But , lets not Cry Sad Tears - - As in my Heart & Soul i know he is now in a place where he is Living w/ Jesus through God and has to be Very Happy & So Proud of his Accomplishments in which he was able to Achieve before he left us . He was Big then & if here Today would definitely been : Larger than Life Itself !

I'm so sorry I never got to see kath play live. One thing I know is if you get Chicago's greatest hits and play it in your car loud it's one of the most amazing music I've ever heard. I was old enough to see them then but I don't have a clue why I didn't peruse it harder. But I wouldn't waist my time seeing Chicago know. Not in the least bit interested. Sorry TCA fans. But what a group. What a time to be alive lll 🇺🇸👀❗
