I've always said that Kath/Cetera/Seraphini could have gone out as a power trio without the horn section and rivaled Cream and Hendrix. Jimi even said Kath was better than him. I wouldn't go that far, but they were a damn good band in their original lineup.Eat Us And Smile

One of their very early gigs after they moved to L.A. in 1969 or so was opening for Jimi at the L.A. Forum April 29, 1969, the very night when Jimi's guitar told a guy in the audience "FUCK YOU MOTHERFUCKER!".
I am not kidding. Late in the set, some guy was hassling him, and it was the GUITAR that spoke in PLAIN ENGLISH.
Would have loved to have been at that fucking show.Comment

those of you as old as me will remember when guitar world had it's 'end page' in the late 90's.
i have a complete collection of guitar world from 1990-present. some older collectors issues also.
apparently Terry's last words were 'don't worry, it's not loaded'.Comment

Holy crap, what a band and what a great loss. FORD is spot on, as essentially Chicago was a Band Of Gypsys/Cream/Grand Funk power trio that just so happened to have a horn section and some goofball occasionally hitting the piano. Their albums always included cool, Alice Cooper-like extras, like the iron on decal (Chicago VIII ) that every cool kid in middle/high school band quickly applied to a black sleeved baseball shirt.
And you always sought out the Terry Kath tunes on each album, even though the entire band contributed great songs. I guess my favorite (aside from the first greatest hits collection) would be Chicago X, which began and ended with a brace of Kath songs.
Sadly after his death, the band turned into some sort of quasi-Air Supply hit machine, with Pete Cetera turning into the personified voice of pussy-ism once held by Kenny Loggins, that was later taken up by Michael Bolton. Today, the "band" is made up of anonymous session players of dubious talent, cranking out horrible live versions of classics like "Questions 67 and 68" and "Dialogue (Part I & II)." Yet that string of albums between 1969 and 1976 make up some of the best ensemble recordings by a big band ever made.
