[LaRezNar]

[marshmellowman2011]

@Goatboy3636 Im one of the few in my schoo, that listen to this kind of music. They ask why and i say because this is true m usic, not calling people bitches, niggas and hoes

[MegaFuall]

Brain Stew sounds like this by green day

[cmk47274]

We played this one of our first shows this marching(football) season. I play trombone, and it was so fun! We got to play the guitar, trombone, AND lyric lines xD

[bmoliveras]

Simply the GREATEST!!! Terry Kath Chicago's Brilliant Guitarist and Co-Founder, January 31, 1946 - January 23, 1978 R.I.P. my friend ;-(

[loveguard97]

We did a Chicago field show :) Opening song... <3

[Circusvoid]

Playing this in band. I love this song.

[HorseRaceBetWin]

For you read-way-2-much-between-the-li­ners: Lamm explained his lyrics pretty simply... he was staying up trying to write a song and the time was 25 or 26 to 4am. all the rest of the lyrics corroborate this.

[fredtiger01]

wow im playing this in jazz band too i agree

[innerphase5]

Looks like 65 people need to be clubbed with trombones.

[bmoliveras]

@innerphase5 65 Bieber fans SUCK!!! And they need to stay away from REAL music videos!!!

[mikero08]

@innerphase5 I'll take a keyboard dropped from about five stories.

[Uyusanis]

@innerphase5 Poor trombone. =(

[Shellbullet34]

I miss Terry Kath...



[Wojo8888]

@Shellbullet34 Me too.

[hotstuffjetcars]

Story was, there was party the night before, one of the guys comes downstairs, laying on the floor is another one of the band members still tripin on the acid he had taken. His buddy asked him if he knew what time it was. Laying on his back, he looks up at the clock, sees the big hand on the 5 little hand on the 4.

ON ACID 4:25 looks like 25 min to 4:00 As the big hand moved it looked like it could have been 6 min to 4:00.

So it was either 25 min, or 6 min to 4:00 am.

[thevideosnotthatfunn]

Seeing this tonight at Umass Lowell Tsongas Center!

I'm so amped!

[NEPTUNEMARIUS]

simplemente excelente!!!!

[BENGTERIKL]

I saw "them" in Stockholm 40 years ago, amazing.

[NDguy191]

I love this band, anybody else see them play with Notre Dame? They've aged.

[jorgerodriguezyarruh]

25 or 6 to 4 means 25 or 26 minutes before 4 am

[tag7100]

@jorgerodriguezyarruh I've also heard from a buddy that it has something to do with horse racing. But I've read in interviews with the band that it was about the time. I believe you're right. Epic song, though- I destroy my car speakers with this.

[jorgerodriguezyarruh]

awsome. This band is out of this world. I just saw their concert at the Saban theater in Beverly Hills, California. Best concert I've ever been to.

[bydlosith]

3:35 AM (or 3:34 AM)

[flapjac284]

what does 25 or 6 to 4

mean

[OverdrivePelican]

The guitar player looks like sam winchester from supernatrual.

[Madkid60]

nice dude.

[bretoff]

Sorry but does Bruce Johnston look like somebody blew by him in the fast lane at about 120

[bretoff]

Who ever was running the mix board knew what he was doing, the juiced up lead guitar sounded like a great tribute to T Kath & the horns were holding their own, half the people there probably didn't even know what they were watching .......

[CTS512]

dont get me wrong i love the band.. BUT whats with the use of the whole sound stage for em? EGOS!

[Profedrybicki]

Man, we used to dance ourselves sick to this, back in 1971...Chicago version, or with a live band called Birth. Bunch of Harare (Zimbabwe) medical students...SUCH good memories!! Thanks!

[Duncan6913]

awesome, I love this song, keep playing.

[scorpiones103]

Baby am gona leave you by led zeppelin rip off

[isveryniceyes]

@scorpiones103 Babe im gonna leave you was a cover. Led Zeppelin didn't write it. Oh, and it's not the same riff, it's played differently.

[hakkai153]

@scorpiones103 Wrong. Pachelbel's Canon

[TheGriffoe]

my band of 10 sound exactly the same O.O

[Dabanskiboo]

Alto Sax is the best JS.

[Dontwant2thinkofuser]

This sounds very very similar to brain stew by green day.. the guitar part anyway

[w00tmonger84]

@Dontwant2thinkofuser You mean the other way around.

[Dontwant2thinkofuser]

@w00tmonger84 Well i was just saying i mean obiously this came first

[zachisaniceperson]

im sorry. i disliked this. theyre not the same without kath. WARNING people in jazz band that r hearing this song 4 the 1st time, listen to the vid below this video(blue with chicago logo by hoisen)2 hear the best guitarist , terry kath

[67genxer]

@urbanmyth169 oh you mean what year is this video...doh

[urbanmyth169]

@67genxer Yeah, the year they played on the Tonight Show

[mentalpatientinwait]

Keith Howland rarely plays the guitar solo like the original in deference to the late great Terry Kath.

[ufofan1980]

[fuuremrsbiebs]

So weird how my school band is playing this song too...

[HIVisaLIE]

@fuuremrsbiebs any hot chicks in your band ?

[RedEyePergo]

Chicago coming to my school saturday for a concert less than 100 ft away from my dorm. Fuck Yeah!!!!! Now these retarded college yuppies can hear some real music.

[ZuRock10]

I'm listening to this song because the middle school band I'm in is playing it for the halftime show. This song is literally the shit.

[TheColtonman]

@ZuRock10 yeah it is we're playing it for pep band probably the most fun song a good one to listen to though is 2009 Carroll Pep Band 25 or 6 to 4.

[twerpuser]

SO much hair in that band

[rexmiguechidoto]

that solo was great

[thephenomenonwatcher]

no thrilling on guitar solo part

[tpbdragon1]

kick ass!!!

[captainyes100]

[adharte100]

This is real music.

[Jamesvk679]

that saxophonist has like such easy parts...

[ejlarsonstratford]

who's on drums? thats not tris is it??

[888keanu]

so, nice.

[HinknownUnson]

Some guy I know used to play those five real quick horn notes on his car horn

as we listened on a.m. radio...funny as hell.

[21harlz]

Our band along with the IU band plays this song at the football and basketball games and now I love it!!!!!

[iHeart768]

My band is playing this at our pep rally :)

[shafta99]

this guitar is one of the best wah pedal solos.

[wierdhead2]

noobs



[alyssababy1212]

you guys are dumb. there is no "ripping off" music as music can not be claimed. Riffs, notes, and chords can not belong to any song or band.

[davenichole]

@alyssababy1212 it can be claimed. it's called a copyright.

[MrFunk554]

Is that my old friend from Fresno, Louie Pardini on Piano? Some Chicago trivia for all you out there. Robert Lamm and the Chicago horn section made their recording debut performance in 1968 backing another late friend Jimy Rogers and his band from Chicago, 'The Mauds" on 'Soul Drippen' You can find it on YouTube. Cheers

[Ridude765]

if only i could read the comment the highest rated one responded to ha

[jjsassenach1]

Palais dance floor tryin to pick up girls who were all dancin round their handbags with their friends, such great days and memories

[iLOVEtrumpet1]

James Penkow is amazingg :) Gotta lovee that trumpet playa too!

[ToysfromtheAttic1]

wheres cetera?

[TheMarkster1957]

They skipped the second verse,

[gigglystoner420]

Man today's music you don't even have be good just own a computer and autotune. It fuckin sucks. Classic rock is a great tasty lick all around:D

[MrWhateveranything]

Real Music

[msguidobiatch]

Keith Howland is no Terry Kath, but he's DAMN CLOSE!!!

[njamesburns]

This is real music.... too bad no one these days can make it

[joekiddlouischama]

... this is fantastic; even jazzier than the studio version.

[CompulsiveDesigns]

I never like considering someone trolling but that dude is just fucking with you, and it's working loool.

Green Day is some weird wannabe punk rock band and Chicago is Jazz Fusion, I see a major difference already.

[bambopbam]

LOL at all the comments... lolololololozzzz!!!L!!!!!!!@21­11!!!

[bloden2]

if they ripped off anyone its cream

[Umba]

Damn, King of the Hill has the best music

[mchammer964]

im playing this in band

[parkourisfun90]

Who the fuck listens to green day ?

[nick7305]

@parkourisfun90 id like to see you do better loser

[parkourisfun90]

@nick7305 what the fuck are u talking about?

[shelloz09]

@parkourisfun90 I do! they're my favorite band

[sp00kynek0]

Can we agree that both bands are good? jeez....

[sp00kynek0]

greenday & chicago btw

[turdy3birdy]

All you wireheads are, like, so, like intelligent!

[JohnathanPozzi]

Did they shorten this song? In the 70s vids it's around 6-7 minutes and this video it's only 3:33.

[Awookado]

I won't lie, I only have heard about this song today, I don't know how I managed to live 20 years of my life without that knowledge.

[normanrlevin]

Keith Howland is great. He certainly does justice to Terry Kath. And he should sing more. He has a great voice. One of the best additions to Chicago.

[farkinfrak]

@normanrlevin That's not Keith Howland singing this song btw, it's Jason Scheff

[normanrlevin]

@farkinfrak I must have screwed up my comment/reply. I never meant to say that Keith was singing 25 or 6 to 4 on Leno. I know its Jason. I was just commenting on how great a guitar player Keith is.

[farkinfrak]

@normanrlevin Yes Keith is great guitar player. I was fortunate enough to see him play live with Chicago. :) Also for basically an unknown back when..... Jason was a great find and fit for this band too.

[normanrlevin]

Keith Howland is great. He certainly does justice to Terry Kath. And he should sing more. He has a great voice.

[theoriginalbadbob]

I'd like to torture and then kill the asshole director who called for the "trippy" camera shots. Just give us the band, you wanker.

[duane1964az]

I wonder what year this was,probably mid 90's. i wish i knew.



[TheBEATLESMania100n2]

Rock Band 3 FTW

[marietaap]

¡¡¡Hermosooooooooooooooo !!...¡ Maravillosooooooooooooooooooo !!!

¡¡Beautifuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuul !!!....¡¡Wonderfuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­uuuuuul !!

[supninja45]

my marching band is playen this this year i play tuba !

[TheStormofStorms]

@supninja45 i want my bad to play it but theyd probably f it up. last year they played bad romance...eh :(

[TheLovie999]

@supninja45 .. how is the tuba playing coming, matey?

Your comment is utterly brill and witty..

[supninja45]

@TheLovie999 what i dont play tuba i play sousaphone and great i guess

[TheTinkerbrad]

Awesome! I've got all thier albums. Yes, I said albums. Real vinyl. Plus some cd's. Will never tire of hearing a real band play real music. Love 'em!!!

[ZTK14]

My schools marching band is playing this song this year. :P Good song.

[25brandonby]

@ZTK14 So is mine!

[mmnnmmnnmmnnmn]

25 or 6 to 4 means 3:34 or 3:35 am.

[heyimonlydancing]

You can hear this riff being played by Paul McCartney on the bass guitar in the George Harrison song While My Guitar Gently Weeps from the Beatles White Album released in 1968

[MrJudge70]

Used to know what 25 or 6 to 4 ment, but I'm old and can't remember. HELP

[berttzilla]

@MrJudge70 Its a reference to a time of day

[thestickmalone]

@MrJudge70 it's about having writers block in the middle of the night.

[28211145]

Half the idiots leaving negative comments don't know s#&t about what they are saying! And anyone who doesn't like this video needs their asshole kicked up around their shoulders so they will look like their wearing a BUSTER BROWN collar!!!!

[avantiisonfire]

@covenstead I was just going to comment about this before i saw your comment. Thank you. C:

[0987bozo]

it was ripped from led zeppelin

[ghero1123]

What kinda guitar is the guitarist playing? It looks kinda like a tele but im not sure

[chabeworks]

totally awesome--no other word expresses it more

[jtessexpress]

Songs sound similar- doesn't mean they are ripped off...

[TheStormofStorms]

:54 AND RONALD REAGAN ON PIANO!!!

[DBCcigar]

@TheStormofStorms No doubt!

[Wojo8888]

@TheStormofStorms Ronald Reagan was such an asshole, I just don't think it does justice to Bobby Lamm. I'm sure I'm in the minority, but reagan was an asshole. As an air traffic controller, I'm entitled to this opinion and stand by it.

[TheStormofStorms]

@Wojo8888 sweet you voiced your opinion on reagan, but it still looks like him, joke killa!

[Ihaterudecomments]

@Wojo8888 Why does your opinion about Reagan matter? They're saying someone looks like him, for God's sake, not how good or bad of a president he was...

[rirrd]

@TheStormofStorms but kinda asian or something right?

[arpionatore]

@TheStormofStorms LOL!Just.
