70’s Music Revisited – Terry Kath

Written on January 23, 2018   By Sunshine   in Music thoughts

As I happened to mentioned on my very first post, I am a child of the ’70’s and when I listen to music it’s mostly from that time period. Although there are some modern artist I really like Pink is one of them.

Anyway I have decided since I am often on You-Tube looking for songs that I may not have heard in awhile, or live performances I’ve not seen before I have decided to do a feature I call 70’s Music Revisited. I’ll be posting from time to time links to you-tube.

Chicago has always been my favorite Band, and I love Terry Kath’s guitar work. Today, January 23rd, is the anniversary of the day he died from accidental gunshot wound to the head. What better way to revisit the music of the 70’s from one of the decade’s legends. Jimi Hendrix was a big admirer of his guitar playing. Kath’s guitar work can best be heard with his guitar solo in Chicago’s song 25 or 6 to 4. He may not have ever played the solo the same way twice in any of his live performances.

This was Live at Tanglewood, July 21, 1970.
