Chicago's reputation as a rock band was sullied in the 80's and 90's as the group veered more and more into soft rock ballads. However, in the band's prime. from 1969 to 1977, with guitarist Terry Kath at the helm, Chicago could rock with the best of them. That era ended, however, with Kath's tragic death from a self inflicted gunshot wound in January 1978. This soundboard recording captures Chicago just about a year prior to Kath's passing, at the Rockpalast in Essen, Germany, on February 12, 1977, 39 years ago today.

Thanks! Great show, but you do Kath a disservice, as it was a tragic accidental shooting, versus a 'self inflicted' shooting, which infers that it was a suicide.
Thanks Speedy. Living in Chicago when Kath died, it was devastating when the news broke. The band lost it's rock edge and was never the same.
69-77 Prime time for sure! Kath could do some serious shredding with his guitar, thanks for the post.
Thanks! Chicago could definitely rock back in the day.
