The Terry Kath Experience

Growing up, Terry Kath was one of my favorite guitar players even though he was trapped in the cheese factory band, Chicago. This documentary shows how good he really was and how good Chicago was before they became the scourge of every high school dance. (If I could've made 'Color My World' a physical being I would've strangled it to death with my bare hands.) Anyway it's a good doc on a great guitar player, with nice memories shared by family and friends. It's a fun watch.

Insightful film, very telling that Peter Cetera and James Guercio appeared in this film and not in the Chicago documentary Now More Than Ever

First off, I don't need Jimi's approval -- any musician knows how great Terry was. "Introduction" is quite the introduction.

I'm glad his daughter made this. I'm surprised it needed to be crowdfunded - doesn't she have millions? Why not keep more of the pie? I noticed her husband doing the narrating, saving money.

Cetera has never done anything related to Chicago on video, but he did do this for Michelle and Terry Kath. I'm so happy, and wish there were more excerpts of him. Too bad they didn't play another interview, since they have the archives (we don't).

Finding the guitar took a lot of time, and it didn't matter to me. This was only 75 minutes long - I would have used more of the cutting room interviews.

In high school, I'd listen to Chicago, and then my friend told me what happened to Terry, and it saddens me to this day. I cried for the first time from a song, "Oh, Thank You Great Spirit" - one of my favorite songs ever. I'd tell fans to start with the first album, and go chronologically. Lots of concerts available for traders/collectors who can hopefully upload them for the world. I try to do my part.. I've gotten back into Chicago, can't stop watching this documentary. Three times in the last two weeks. And the Chicago documentary, which got a ton of heat from the journalistic community, HuffPo, Danny Seraphine, Peter Cetera who called it a "crockumentary". I wish the ex-Chicago members made a documentary.

I would also like to know more Terry Kath. I'd like to see archives -- interviews in print, audio, video.. Someone should write a book.

This movie more than does justice to Terry Kath, an artist whose voice and guitar jumped out at me on the early Chicago albums. I knew how good he truly was when I heard the band's work after Kath's death, and clearly part of the soul and vibe of the band had left as well. Jimi Hendrix once said that Kath was a better guitarist than he was-that speaks volumes. But, as with so many great rockers, talent came with recklessness. Kath wore it on his face like Jim Morrison. Considering Chicago's decades of popularity, I am surprised at how underrated this man still is. This loving portrait by a daughter who never knew him is well deserved.

Unfortunately, the loss of Terry Kath at such a young age left so many undiscovered pinnacles in the music world, as well as his interpersonal life as well. This film does great justice to both. It's a must see film.
