Aye. People forget that Chicago could rock, before Peter Cetera's influence turned them into a prom song band. Kath's solo on "25 or 6 to 4" is as good as it gets.
I've read more than one YouTube comment from self-identified guitarists who say they have no idea how he pulled off the opening riff to "Questions 67 & 68".
"Kath was great and Chicago was so much better when he was with them"

Kath was great and Chicago was so much better when he was with them. This is a great performance by the band overall, albeit well past their time of musical relevance, and showcases some superb guitar from Kath, who also is wearing a Blues #20 sweater. Back in 1977 #20 would have been Wayne Merrick, I believe, so I choose to see finding this clip as a sign of the imminent return of Alex Steen. Or, God forbid, his accidental suicide.
Update:
ST. LOUIS (AP)—The St. Louis Blues have activated forward Alex Steen, who missed 39 games with a concussion, from injured reserve.
The 28-year-old Steen was injured on Dec. 27 at Detroit. In 36 games, he has 13 goals, 11 assists and a plus-20 rating. Steen was expected to be in the lineup Sunday night at Phoenix.
