Chicago - 25 or 6 to 4 (REACTION) with my wife

Terry Kath was a great guitarist and criminally underrated.

Terry was a beast on guitar

The horn section, which made Chicago stand out from other bands at the time was Lee Loughnane on trumpet, Walter Parazaider on saxophone and flute, and James Pankow on trombone. James Pankow arranged all the horn parts on their music. He also wrote many of their hit songs. Thanks for a very fun first reaction. Chicago has many, many great songs, some of which I'm sure you've heard but didn't know it was Chicago. They have gone on tour every year for more than 50 years. There are 3 original members still performing this great music of Chicago with the band. Have fun!

Chicago stood out then because it was unusual for a rock group to have a brass instrument section.

Love your reactions. The 70's were more relaxed and we were free to express uniqueness more, which makes things ripe for creativity.

Terry Kath was just phenomenal, one of the greatest guitarist in the world ever!

Brilliant band with three different singers. Early Chicago was more hard rock and then after Terry Kaths tragic passing they became more of a soft rock band.

The 70s rocked! When it comes to music, we had it all.

One of the pure joys at this stage of my life(senior citizen) is seeing the discovery of the music I grew up with. You both exude a "Joy" that few know or experience along the way and watching this makes me young again! For that I'm appreciative.

Everybody had long hair in the 70's, either long and straight or big and bushy! Best musical decade in the history of mankind. 70's chick, absolutely perfect! 😂

I remember the days of seeing bands like this with no light shows, no pyro, no special effects. Just players playing their hearts out. Most bands didn’t have 100’s of people on tour with them. The industry is very different now. At least for established artists. Not that I’m against special effects etc, but sometimes it’s way over the top and not needed. My first Eagles concert, all they had was a background curtain with the cover of the Hotel California album on it.

This is the music of my childhood. I love hearing you discover it and appreciate it.

Re: 70's hair. One of the things I liked about growing up in the 70's was how normal the musicians looked. The clothes and the hair is exactly what we had in high school at that time. They were musicians, not movie stars, and their focus was on the music and not the look. To me it is a very unselfconscious look and I always liked it. No need for hairdressers unless you were a disco act. Men just left it short or let it grow long and that was it. It wasn't a big priority like it is now, like every little aspect of appearance is now. I mean look at that dorky jean shirt the guitarist is wearing. Every boy from 12 to 18 had that exact shirt.

"Make Me Smile" will make you smile

My friends , you can call it America, United States, or whatever you like. Peace and love to you both

I saw Chicago in concert in the early 70s and they were every bit as good as this one. By 1972 in my senior year of high school I had shoulder length hair as well! That third horn by the way is a trombone.

Other Chicago songs to check out include, "Begginings", "Make Me Smile", "Saturday In The Park", "Another Park, Another Sunday", "Color My World" and "If You Leave Me Now" to name a few.

Saw Chicago transit authority open for Jimi Hendrix in Charlotte NC about '69. What a concert

When a reporter asked Jimi Hendrix what it felt like to be the greatest guitarist of all time he reportedly said:" I don't know but I'll ask Terry Kath".

Terry had one of the best solo's of all time here. He went to another universe and drug us with him. LEGEND. People that know, know , he's always in their list of greats.
