The Terry Kath Tribute Concert Part 13 - 25 or 6 to 4

More than 32 years after his untimely death in a gun accident, friends, fans, bandmates and other musicians gathered at William H. Taft High School in Chicago, IL on May 27, 2010 to stage a concert in tribute to Terry Kath, former guitarist, singer and composer with the jazz-rock band Chicago.

Headliners included: Danny Seraphine, original drummer with Chicago; James William Guercio, Chicago's first producer and manager; and Kenny Cetera, brother of Chicago bassist and now solo artist Peter Cetera. They were joined by Chicago cover bands 25 or 6 to 4 and the 95th Street Band, as well as guitarist Tom Vienna and drummer Nick Morrone.

Kath's solo on the Chicago hit 25 or 6 to 4 is perhaps his best-known guitar work, while vocally he sang on the hits Make Me Smile, Color My World and Wishing You Were Here. However, his true talents came through best on several Chicago album cuts -- on guitar in songs such as Free Form Guitar, Poem 58, Liberation, Sing a Mean Tune, Kid, Oh, Thank You, Great Spirit and Uptown and on vocals in songs such as Introduction, Movin' In, Make Me Smile, It Better End Soon, An Hour in the Shower, Now That You've Gone, Dialogue, Alma Mater and Hope for Love.

In the grand finale, the massed bands of 25 or 6 to 4 and the 95th Street Band join Danny Seraphine, James William Guercio and Kenny Cetera to jam it up on the iconic Chicago song 25 or 6 to 4, which featured the classic guitar solo by Kath.
