stanner Posted September 7, 2002 Share Posted September 7, 2002 anybody watch that "a&e special w/ 'chicago'? they were taking these phone requests-it seemed set up-they were always ready to play what ever tune was asked for...maybe some heavy editing...anyway it was great to hear all those ol' tunes again-'make me smile'-'questions 67&68'-'colour my world'-'does anybody know what time it is'.... and then they mentioned how much they missed their former guitar master: terry kath~RIP~.they called him "the heart and soul of the band"! and it reminded me of what a great guitarist he was and singer-his singing was as distinctive as his playing and one wonders where he would have gone in the long run... someone mentioned in these pages awhile ago how certain guitarists of that era may have lacked technical expertise compared to today's whizzers but to me they more than made up for it in heart and trueness... well,i'm ramblin but i just had to say somethin... s :cool: AMPSSOUNDBETTERLOUDER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenElevenShadows Posted September 7, 2002 Share Posted September 7, 2002 I think there's always been really technically gifted guitar players that played from the heart -- and there always will be.

Tedster Posted September 7, 2002 Share Posted September 7, 2002 It may have been me that said something like that...but that's not really what I said, because you basically agree with my earlier assessment. I don't think they were lacking technical expertise at all. I think that expertise has "evolved" from what it was in the late sixties-early 70s, so that young people of today can't appreciate what it was like to hear Hendrix or Kath or Clapton or whoever for the first time...before it had been overdone by the Vais and the Satrianis etc. These guys were the pioneers, and to me, their playing is superlative. I'd rather listen to Terry Kath than a 1000 Yngwies...but, that's me. "Cisco Kid, was a friend of mine" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip OKeefe Posted September 7, 2002 Share Posted September 7, 2002 Kath definitely had some chops... especially for the time period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KHAN Posted September 7, 2002 Share Posted September 7, 2002 I saw most of the A&E thing. Enjoyed it a lot for the most part. It just bugs me a little when they do the Cetera songs, and his voice is missing. So Many Drummers. So Little Time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

not Cereal Posted September 7, 2002 Share Posted September 7, 2002 i thought the vocals were a lot harsh, perhaps overcompressed and boosted the mids a little too much. they grated on my ears and annoyed me. the keyboards and drums were a little low in the mix too. but- the brass, guitars and bass sounded fine!

Kendrix Posted September 8, 2002 Share Posted September 8, 2002 I still love this first album. Unfortunately, none of what followed was anything like it. Check out some tunes here: http://www.garageband.com/artist/KenFava Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
