[FONT=Comic Sans MS, Cooper Black, Jokerman, Papyrus]He was a lead guitarist in a league with Jimi Hendrix - this according to no less an authority than Hendrix himself. After hearing the band in 1968 at the Whisky A Go-Go in Los Angeles, Hendrix told Chicago saxophone player Walter Parazaider "Your guitar player is better than me." Hendrix was so shocked and amazed at his guitar abilities that he took him and the band on tour as the opening act on his and Janis Joplin's European tour in 1968. This was also one of the only times that Hendrix was actually floored by another guitarist. Rock critics, unfortunately didn't offer the same for Kath. Pop music critics seemed to rebuke Chicago with regularity during the band's hey days in the 1960s and 1970s. [/FONT][FONT=Comic Sans MS, Cooper Black, Jokerman, Papyrus]
