  • I really like terry's shirt....warehouse new orleans

  • Terry Kath knew how to play rock n roll as good as any player.

  • Whenever I see something wonderful like this clip I'm magically transported back in time. Graduated high school in 1972. For those of you who weren't born yet..well......we were having fun. And Terry Kath will live forever in the hearts, minds and fingers of all of us guitar players that emulated him. R.I.P. Terry, you were one of the best!

  • If you know about terry and Chicago in those days you could have prevented,but.

    no one listened in those days.

  • Terry wailing away on a Les Paul Recording model !!! you NEVER EVR see that!!! love the sound of those low impedance single-coil pick ups !!! freakin awesome !!!

  • Great song. Does anyone know what key this is?

  • @70sRob starts A flat sus.

  • @70sRob After The Intro It's In Eb

  • terry kath knew he had a short window

    he chose to be a gentle man

    terry kath as unique as gogan or brian wilson

    he got every sound in his head he couldn't make on the guitar with this band

    and then he threw in some good words

    thank you terry

  • Terry -- you make me smile -- outstanding

  • @Chuck-wrong

    

  • I think Jason Scheff is at least as good as Peter cetera

  • @stonesharve no way no how

  • Thanks for all Therry

  • Terry was the SOUL of the band. After he died, it was all downhill from there.

  • They ruled the airwaves!!!! Terry Kath God Rest his Soul & Peter Cetera picked up the band after Terry Died with His blockbuster songs!!!

  • Kath's solo impress me a lot more than Eric Clapton's  Crossroads....!!!!!

  • Love Terry's look here....but miss the Telecaster tone/sound....

  • As a Republican....I will sincerly pledge a vote for Obama if he can twist  jann wenners arm to make Chicago the 2012 R&R Hall of Fame lead induction....I will never buy a copy of Rolling Stone...Jann needs to grow a di......fuck him

  • @rlawton002 As a Democrat, I will drink to this and I too will vote for Obama despite the sorry state affairs we currently "enjoy".

  • @Wojo8888 You cocksucking liberal cock breath obama loving America hating fucking pig. I hope you fucking choke on a fucking chicken bone you pathetic piece of dog shit. 

  • @leeportcam You need a hobby.  May I suggest eating DOG DICK?

  • @Wojo8888 Hardly, that's for pathetic pieces of shit like you. You like socialism so much, move to a socialist country.

  • @leeportcam remember that one time that the video playing was a chicago song about being really happy with the person you love? You should find somebody to love.

  • @Wojo8888 you have to be kidding ! That idiot is going to continue to kill jobs until we end up like crap hole europe. Aw heck we'll just print mo munay ! ...obama

  • Listen to Terry Kath's guitar playing! He was the man. It's been said that he was one of Hendrix's favorite guitarists. They're both playing for God now in that great amphitheater in the sky. My only regret with this video is that we don't have the entire song.

  • His voice made me cry just now...Teryy Kath RIP

  • His voice made me cry just now...

  • Danny Seraphine is one of my favorite drummers of all time. My band might try to do "I'm A Man" and "25 or 6 to 4".....I can't play like Danny but I'm going to give it my best shot!

  • @m42mike Yes Danny was one of my biggest influences too as a kid/teenager. I hear some of my licks today and catch a large bit of his style in my playing.

  • @MrVeesworld I wish I could say he influenced me, but I'm not nearly good enough to pull off the kind of stuff he did. I've only been playing for 3 years and am in Seraphine's age group....and had never played an instrument before, so it's a constant struggle just to play ANYTHING! LOL!

  • @m42mike  That's okay. Just listen to the recordings as much as you can and play with them to try to figure out the licks. Especially the beginning lick of make me smile and the closing drum solo part. That pretty much sums up his entire repitoire or style in a nutshell.

  • Thanks....Nice tidbit of info.

  • Terry Kath is absolutetly great, also did anyone know was Keifer Sutherland's father-in-law?

  • Comment removed

  • Gotta love Terry's beard

  • My love, do you realize that it was the best time of our lives when we heard this song, when it felt like Terry was singing his heart out to us? We would take my first car to the 7/11 finding ways to hold hands even though I was taught to keep one hand at 10 at and the other at 2. How the speakers filled the car with that Chicago love that made all your lights turn green. I remember how you told me that some day I would miss you. And I miss you, my love, but remembering you here makes me smile!

  • I think of one word when I watch Terry in this video....TESTOSTERONE (as in he was such a totally rugged, individualistic, masculine gorgeous man). Okay, two words, testosterone and LOVE (as in I have ALWAYS loved Terry and I will ALWAYS love Terry)...What else can a girl say?

  • @carina2244 Amen. Preach it. The 3 Chicago vocalists at this time were a perfect, balanced blend: Terry with the rugged, raw, bluesy low register; Bobby Lamm with the wise lounge singer mid-range, and Cetera with his touch-the-clouds heights of crystalline snowflakes. In Hindu philosophy 3 components make the world function--the 3 gunas: [churchoftheeast.ca/catechism1­/gunas.htm] Just remember that I'm describing their VOICES, not the men, when I compare their sounds to the gunas' qualities.

  • I have been listening since high school back in early 70's too. Always been my favorite group.  Your so right about Terry Kath. I also think they had the best drummer / percussion man of all time! Great post. Thanks.

  • @GodlySkunk I was 17 too - 42 years ago when i first heard them. you are blessed dude. Terry Kath can pull the rug off any guitarist today Lifeislikeabeanstalk!

  • the live version sounds better than the studio version

  • damn i'm 17 years old and i just heard chicago a few weeks ago. they're now one of my favorites. i wish my generation had some real music like this!!!!!

  • @GodlySkunk it's you youngins who are going to keep them alive and well once all us old folks are dead and gone.

  • @hollyawoods i'll do my best!

  • Enjoyed seeing them in 1970 when I was 15 at the Hollywood Bowl--My first live concert. Terry Rocks on!

  • Jesus, what a great voice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Terry ---if you did not know he was white, Holy shit man, he has as much soulas any singer-- like Elvis ,with the soulful voice, yet GRITTIER and on the axe he was like a controlled Tornado or Hurricane!!!! god , why dont people give him the credit he deserved!!!! ah man what a loss, Be jammin with all of you greats up there soon, i will be sure to bring my #1 Strat!!!!

  • Terry Kath had a beautiful soulful voice, just the right pitch and melody. He will be remembered.

    This song was played at his funeral, He always said it was his favorite.

    Rest in peace Terry, your legacy in the music world lives on, in many people.

  • Terry was the soul of Chicago. When Terry died, so died Chicago.

  • @chuckdiann you got it !

  • @chuckdiann the still rocking anyway , sorry

  • @chuckdiann Very true. I remember the day. Total shock. Very sad. RIP, Terry.

  • @chuckdiann I sooo disagree with you..However,i am without words :))

  • que buen solo se echó el cabron

    neta era una mamada

  • their will never ever be a voice to replace the Great Legendary : TERRY KATH! =0|

  • @tornmask Agree!!! His vocals in the 1970 version of this song are amazing also!

  • @tornmask You got that right, tornmask! Long live the one, the only the GREAT Terry Kath!

  • TERRY KATH IS THE MOST UNSER RATED MUSICIAN OF ALL TIME RIP

  • ES UNA DE LAS ROLAS MAS CHINGONAS DE CHICAGO ME GUSTA DE A MADRE SALUDOS DESDE MONTERREY MEXICO

  • Long Live Terry Kath

  • THis is one of my fav Chicago tracks by them!

  • Goddammit. What happened to the other live version of this from 1970? Some shitheeled marketing prick figure out they weren't making any money off it?

  • @whisky2roxy yeah, that's the one I was looking for....

  • @whisky2roxy Was that the "Jimmy tombone" vid???

  • @Trashfished Yep that's the one...

    Gee, let's remove Chicago's best clips from utube so that no new listeners will ever see how great they were or buy their music. What a marvelous marketing strategy!

  • @whisky2roxy I really miss that one! Good day to ya!

  • @whisky2roxy and Trashfished -- Hi! That was the one from Tanglewood. God, I miss that one too! ChicagoKid1969 had that,, but his channel has been nuked! I feel your pain! Cheers, Carina

  • @carina2244 and trashfished - Check:

    Chicago performs the Ballet at Tanglewood, MA in 1970 part 1

    -Whisky

  • @whisky2roxy Thanks! Terry is just amazing!!!

  • I did not know this song had such a long introduction.

  • Only my friend Spooner (R.I.P.) and I know this. Love it.

  • @mustwinder Looks like a Les Paul "professional".

  • @TheSweetSpot52 It is a Les Paul Professional he played that and the Strat at the same time. He played the legendary Telecaster with the stickers on it up to his death.

  • @drhey19 are they out of production now? First time ive seen a Les Paul with an angled neck pickup.....cool,nonetheless...

  • @hazor777 I believe they were last made in 1973 or 74. It was a limited edition guitar. The first ones were made in 1959. Since then Gibson has made custom guitars for musicians with similar pickup placement, for example variants of the custom version of the ES-335, called the CS (Custom Series)-335.

  • @drhey19 What's your opinion on Gibson LP's now? Would spend that kind of money or do you think Epiphones are rather competent guitars (in a professional sense) too? Ive heard that a Japanese co. 'Burns' , makes a good LP knockoff.....

  • @hazor777 I think that due to Gibson acquiring many other companies, including Epiphone, they have only raised the price on the same products. I've heard good reviews on Burns but I think they make mostly Strat style guitars with P-90 pickups. I've also heard good reviews on Peavy guitars as well as on Epiphone. If you aren't concerned about the name or the quality of the wood, Epiphone isn't bad. You can always easily add Gibson parts to the Epiphones.

  • Terry Kath is really channeling Ray Charles here!

  • @gregtyoung He sounds like Ray Charles

  • Saw them in Milwaukee in early summer of 1973. I was 17 and took a beautiful blond girl named Sue. Every tune was note perfect. I remember they came back for the encore with about half of them smoking coffin nails. The encore was "Make Me Smile" . Later that night, Sue did.

  • In this video it's a les paul recording

  • Thats a Les Paul...but...he normally used a fender stratro caster...check the song beginnings...fender strat....all the way!!!!

  • @gregorytknudson played a tele alot as well-- uses humbuckers in them usually-uaed--sorry, the man played like a possessed dragon! man, he was one of a kind

  • I am glad someone appreciates Roy Buchanan. Him and a fellow named Buzz Evans were both friends of my in Boston. Buzz is now in Vegas as am I and at 70 yrs young can still kick the asses out most every guitarist out there.

  • Comment removed

  • @skipper8257 Hey I met Buzz about two years ago, are you talking about the pedal steel player? If that's who you are referring to he can kick everyone's ass, that's the truth.

  • Have you seen the new years eve performance of Dialogue that's on youtube? It's really good. ChicagoKid has it.

  • Greatest Singing Rock Guitarists Ever: Hendrix, Johnny Winter, Lonnie Mack, Roy Buchanan, and this gentleman here, Chicago's Terry Kath.

  • Why doesn't the studio version of this song have the guitar part?? I love the song either way, but the guitar makes it even better!!

  • the ALBUM version featured extended guitar soloing by the incomparable Terry Kath. Forget the single version, it's completely lame by comparison.....

  • I have this song on Chicago IX and it does not have the extended guitar solo. I am planning to get Chicago at Carnegie hall and I am sure it is on that one b/c it has the whole Ballad for a Girl in Buchannon.

  • get the original album, simply called "Chicago". It was the group's 2nd album, and features the amazing guitar & vocals of Terry Kath, who wrote "Make me Smile".

  • Terry Kath did NOT write Make me Smile. It is part of a much longer song called Ballad for a Girl in Buchannon, which was written by James Pankow, the trombonist. The song Colour my World (sung by Terry Kath) is also part of that same song.

    Terry Kath was the heart and soul of Chicago, without a doubt. But the NYE performace of Dialogue is great b/c all the band members were at their best in that performance. I am not a huge Cetera fan, but I like him in that performace.

  • correct jenne, but check out the 1974 video of "Ive been searching" Peter is way cool!

  • wtf its japanese u dumb shit

  • for better of for worse- just want to qualify the last comment.

  • oh baby, petey was the one who took them to the top

  • @kimberkley

    They all took them to the top.

  • Terry Kath was fantastic..he had heart and soul in his voice. Peter Cetera was just a priss ass, artificial sickening kind of voice.

  • How long have you been the President of the Peter Cetera fan club? LOL

  • LOL I know. There's something about him that I just can't stand. His voice is just so ........... repulsive....and it just goes on and on and always sounds the same. Yuck.

    I loved Terry's Kath's voice........ had feeling. I also like Robert Lamm's voice. But Chamblin and Cetera are just gross.

  • Just how f*ck*ng great was Terry Kath anyway? One of the absolute best of all time.

  • @Lifeislikeabeanstalk  He was the best...what a shame...and then his widow Camella up and marries Keifer Sutherland to get some 2nd rate bit parts in movies.

  • @Lifeislikeabeanstalk way beyond awesome

    Candy

  • UN FREAKIN REAL!!!

  • MAN I love this song and Terry Kath. RIP TK - you are still loved and missed!

  • blame david foster

  • Only Terry can sing this song!

  • Happy 63rd B-day Terry 1/31/09 RIP

  • Terry is the all time BEST :) thanks for posting!!

  • I agree, Terry was great. Saw him as in the SAeventies. Very sad he's gone. Eventhough Chicago is still going strong he's dearly missed. Hope to see and hear more of him here on You Tube

  • Great stuff. The late Terry Kath is one of those musical greats that I hope more people get to see on YouTube and get a chance to appreciate his talent. Thanks for posting!
