Monday music - "25 or 6 to 4" performed live, from 1970

Recently a YouTuber put up a full concert with Chicago, from 1970. I'd had an audio version of it previously, but it's fun to see and hear it in higher quality.

This is the original lineup, before everything; and that means their founding member and amazing guitar virtuoso Terry Kath, who died tragically in a gun-related accident in 1978. This is one of the best live performances I've seen; Kath, as the kids say, absolutely shreds as of about three minutes in and following. The man could do everything: slow, fast, rock, jazz, slide, the works.

Enjoy!

I am sorry, it made me cry out loud and weep. This is where I came from...and it makes me sad from the drugs and alcohol...I could not finish it due to where I came from...I am almost 60 years old...and I like it for all the wrong reasons...
