Yes, the original seven.

Terry Kath passed away in 1978, so 1980s Chicago was completely different.

@CTJ2619 9 месяцев назад

By the way, there are those who say that 25 or 6 to4 is a drug reference. In a 2013 interview, Robert Lamm said he composed "25 or 6 to 4" on a twelve-string guitar with only ten strings - it was missing the two low E strings - and that he wrote the lyrics in one day. The band first rehearsed the song at the Whisky a Go Go.[2] Lamm said the song is about trying to write a song in the middle of the night. The song's title is the time at which the song is set: 25 or 26 minutes before 4 AM (twenty-five or [twenty-]six [minutes] to four [o’clock]), i.e. 03:34 or 03:35.[3][4] Because of the unique phrasing of the song's title, "25 or 6 to 4" has been interpreted to mean everything from a quantity of illicit drugs to the name of a famous person in code.[

Can't believe I am just now seeing your first reaction to Chicago (I've followed the channel for a couple of years). This is one of the greatest recordings of the entire era. Peter Cetera's voice on this is incredible. Terry Kath's guitar playing was other-worldly. In fact the great Jimi Henrix once said that Terry was "better the me" and was also heard saying that Kath was "the greatest guitar player in the universe." That tells you all you need to know about TK. Then, of course those stellar horn parts...unlike anything being payed at the time on hit radio and really set the band apart as something completely unique. The drums, the vocals, Peter Cetera's bass playing...all among the best ever. Loved watching you discover these things for the first time.

This is the greatest/ most difficult/ most spectacular single pick guitar solo of all time........

But this one is so hard. not metal finger clanging... --Kath is the classic rock GOAT. And this song and "Introduction" are the signature examples.

As someone from the city by the lake, I'm glad to see your reactions to this! This song is from the 70s, and were originally called "Chicago Transit Authority" until the real CTA caught wind and asked them to change the name, so it was shortened to just "Chicago." Also, this song is ironically about songwriting - incredibly meta song. The title is in reference to being up all night and not knowing what time it is anymore, lol. If you enjoyed this, may I recommend "Chicago- Saturday In The Park."

The lyrics: they were sitting on the floor after a gig. It was almost 4:00 AM. So, one guy says, what time is it? The other guy says 25 or 6 to 4:00. All the rest of the lyric falls into place. "Feeling like aught to sleep" and "getting up to splash my face" and "wanting just to stay awake" and "giving up I close my eyes". See? All the other lyrics then make sense. It's 25 to 4. No, it's 25 or 6 to 4:00.

The song is about the lead singer having a writer's block and being unable to write a song. The title "25 or 6 to 4" is in reference to him recognizing the time of the morning it was and how long he had been working on the song. Think of it as 25 or 26 minutes to 4 am

Got to see Chicago in concert way back in the early 70's. It was the top middle row of the Boston Garden. Up to that time I had been a rock/pop fan. But the clarity of those horns along with a myriad of other instruments was so crystal clear to my young "undamaged" eardrums, that it was an epiphany that opened me up to an entire world of music, that has enriched my life ever since. That being said, today I'm primarily a hard rock, heavy metal fan whose enjoys sitting back and playing my guitar to backing tracks. 😊

(WARNING: Looooong comment ahead....) THANK YOU!!! You have just been introduced to and reacted to the iconic song from my favorite band in the history of EVER!!! I flipping LOVE these guys - was hooked from the moment I first heard them, just like you two. 😁 Okay, a quick primer of the original, classic lineup you heard here: Danny Seraphine, drums. Had to list him first, because I'm a drummer and I patterned everything I first learned after him. Criminally underrated. Terry Kath, guitar and lead vocals. LEGEND. He absolutely shreds on songs like this, and when Chicago opened on a tour for Jimi Hendrix in the early days, Hendrix told one of the horn players "Your guitar player is better than me." Terry was tragically killed eleven years after the band started. In my opinion, one of the top five guitar players of all time. Peter Cetera, bass and lead vocals. He's the one you hear on this song with the soaring vocals. Robert Lamm, keyboards and lead vocals. The smooooth voice of the band, and an extremely talented keyboard player. Jimmy Pankow, trombone. The primary horn arranger and perpetual motion on stage with his constantly swiveling hips. Lee Loughnane, trumpet. A favorite of Doc Severinsen, band leader of The Tonight Show for decades. Walt Parazaider, saxophone and flute. Plays both instruments with ridiculous ease. In my opinion, this is the best horn section in the history of rock music. Chicago was dominating FM airwaves and putting out phenomenal music over their first ten years that was blowing people out of the water. I strongly encourage you to react to my favorite Chicago song, "Make Me Smile." You'll get MUCH more of the sensational horns, incredible stick work from Danny, and Terry's gritty, soulful vocals (he's often been referred to as the white Ray Charles) along with more of his mind-blowing guitar. Also, both songs are from the album Chicago II, which you had on the screen, and I really think you should give the entire album a listen; it's a fantastic showcase for the incredible musicality and variety these guys had. Oh, and as to the title of this song, the story goes that Robert and the guys had been working on writing the song all through the night, and when he asked what time it was, someone said "About 25 or 6 to 4 (o'clock)." I apologize for how insanely long this comment is, but I did warn you....and it's your fault for checking out my favorite band EVER!! Great, great reactions, and you have a new subscriber!

@GrumpyOldGuyPlaysGames 3 года назад

The story behind the song "25 or 6 to 4 is is that Chicago needed one more song to finish their second album. The various members of the group were all sitting around the studio, trying to come up with one more song, but they were all too tired to be very creative. They'd been working all day since early the previous morning, and now it was in the middle of the night. At which point Robert Lamm (the keyboardist) turned to James Pankow (one of the trombone players) and asked, "What time is it, anyway?" Pankow replied that it was "25, maybe 26 minutes to 4 o'clock" (in the morning). Lamm was thus inspired to write a song about being up until Oh-God-Thirty in the morning, trying to write one last song to fill an album. And one of Chicago's biggest hits was born. About Terry Kath, Chicago's lead guitarist, there's a legend. Supposedly, Jimi Hendrix was once asked "How does it feel being the best guitarist in the world?" According to the legend, Jimi responded, "I don't know. Ask Terry Kath." No one knows if its true or not, but its a great story.

@markinman8156 3 года назад
