Excerpt from "Chicago In The Rockies" To those who might complain that the clip ends too early, it is because a commercial cut off the end of the song as it's fading out.
Hi I am listening. My mix of songs brings back so many memories of when I was young. Now I am 60 years old and still enjoying the music from the 60's 70's and 80's. ❤😊
I WAS 21 ,HOME FROM VIETNAM,SEPARATED FROM THE MARINE CORPS,CAME HOME TO FLORIDA. STARTED TO COLLEGE ON THE GI BILL....BECAME HOOKED ON CHICAGO.50 YEARS LATER THEIR SONGS BRING BACK NOTHING BUT GOOD MEMORIES OF GOOD TIMES AND THE PEOPLE I SHARED THEM WITH. THOSE WERE THE GOOD DAYS. THINGS NOW ARE GOING TO HELL IN A HAND CART.
I grewup there n remember going to an outdoor concert n hearing Saturday in the park n all their early stuff. I was a youngster only 5 or 6 but u don't forget thing's like that! I'm 52 nxt mnth n i love them even more if that's possible,lol!
@@michelleebel1386 If it wasn't for that stain called disco ! Just like grunge stained the 90's disco stained the 70's ! Notice how some 70's bands had their biggest albums in the 80's ! Journey for example .!
Woke up this morning singing this song to myself. I'm a cancer patient who just finished 10 months of chemo last week. Love this tune - and great vid! Saw them at the warehouse in New Orleans in the 70's ;-) And I'm feeling STRONGER everyday!
That's the spirit! There are many who have been ill with supposedly incurable disease who have been cured because they believe they are going to overcome them.
God bless you and your family. Have a good recovery. I know first-hand ways to cope with cancer, if you have more challenges with your recovery, feel free to contact me. I know of herbal medicine named of Empower that skrinks tumors. Take care of yourself.
Hi, hope you are better. I too am from Kenner - lived in New Orleans all my 68 years. I am so sad that I didn't get to see them at the Warehouse. The 70s were my baby years. All that dope in the warehouse scared me because of my pregnancies. I just rediscovered my love of Chicago with Peter and Terry. Isn't this great that we can relive the things we took forgranted back then. I hope TH-cam continues this.
I agree totally, the best thing to happen to you the best thing that happened to me yeah yeah yeah , I just love Chicago fans, I believe they're growing stronger every day💪
Chicago, in the Kath years, was easily one of the greatest bands of all time. The sophistication of their writing and arranging, muscianship, and incredible tightness on every level was just amazing and in a league of its own.
I hope you feel better soon XO Rosie from New York City last year in March I had suffered a major stroke I'm still struggling with the aftermath this song has a lot of meaning to me too hunny hey I'm very lucky to be alive if it weren't for my buddy and former roommate Sharona who found me I wouldn't have made it out alive 😿😭🤗😮💨😎🇵🇷✡️🕎♾️💕😭💟💞🇺🇸🙏🇮🇪😘💐🇬🇧🕊️🇸🇭🇿🇦🇭🇲🇯🇲🇨🇦🙀we got this Superman keep on truckin baby to quote the late great Eddie Kendricks came out the very same year as Chicago's hit Feelin Stronger Everyday I love Peter Cetera he was the voice of Chicago I'm from New York City a few days after my birthday my birthday went on indefinite strike
I've rediscovered Chicago through Leonid & Friends, a great band from Moscow. They do amazing covers that are must listening for anyone who followed Chicago, Earth Wind ands Fire or Blood Sweat & Tears. Brought it all back tome with their first note.
What a great band. I hated seeing them leave one by one! This video of that fantastic song is one of my favorites! You can really see the damage that was done to Peter in that awful attack, but they've fixed up his jaw quite well and it surely didn't have any effect on his great voice. You gotta' love Peter's solos too!
Nobody had a voice like Peter Cetera, and there will never be another voice like his. I don’t care what anybody says, he MADE Chicago and was primarily responsible for their outrageous success. That voice was like no other. Yes, Terry Kath, Robert Lamm and all the others were indispensable, too, but Cetera is the main one that gave them that classic “Chicago” sound. And after he left the group, that familiar Chicago sound went with him…never to return again, even though they attempted to fill his spot with countless high tenor voices. Chicago has never sounded the same since he left. What a time to be alive back then. One hit after another from HUNDREDS of fantastic groups and individual artists. Today’s music sucks in comparison.
Peter could definitely crank up the voice, Terry on that guitar was incredible. The horns followed the rhythm. Great band, hit after hit. RIP Terry, you were one of the greats!
Being from Chicago, every time I would here the band on the radio, records, or live, I knew I was from the greatest city of music in the world. Rock on Chicagoans and all, in Jesus. The God who has given you music, love and life in Him.
I'm 67 years old and I was born and raised in Chicago and yes Chicago was if not one of the best bands in the world this was a wonderful City to grow up and live in back then the music of the 70s will never be duplicated the talent will never be duplicated❤
Yes Vince- With bands like: Chicago, New Colony six, The Cryan Shames, Styx, Buckinghams, Tommy James & The Shondells, etc. It was great melodies even if I didn't agree with all the lyrics said.
So badass.. been listening intently to 'rock and roll' for 48 years since i was a 13 year old boy in Seattle area and my Mom would have radio , am radio on. Been intrigued since. Remember Chicago when i was a teen in 70s, heard 25 or 6 to four by bands other than them a thousand times by 1980, at high school bball games, football game etc.. lol.. always thought they were alright.. i actually really liked Old Days a lot since maybe 1980. My appreciation of Chicago has gone up intensely for last 5 years This song is intense, cool as possible, well done and is catchy, relevant and sounds incredible from an old man stoner who loves rock music while stoned.. Masterpiece , Feeling Stronger Everyday is am certsin
Stronger everyday is just one of those riffs when you hear it, you immediately develop energy and feel better, like the song says feeling stronger everyday.
Damn, I could listen to this forever. Chicago is at the height of their powers here. Grew up in Chicagoland and they will always be in my top three bands of all time! So happy I grew up in the '60s and '70s, when music was passionate and REAL.
Pure positive energy, musicianship and one of the best vocalists ever show how far we have skid as a society when you look at what passes for music these days! At least we had it and hopefully we can get it back someday...
Before digital recording, before virtual instruments, before sampling, before auto tune, back in a time when singers could actually sing and stay in key and when many bands actually performed "live in studio" with each other....there's something about those old recordings that sound so much better than a lot of the current stuff.
Brian Wilson had The Wrecking Crew perform most of those 60's BB songs live in the studio, until they got it right. They were the best in the business, and it even took them a few takes.
I was six when this song came out it and I loved it. Now as a middle aged-man fighting bitterness and cynicism it has become my favorite. So much Relentless Positive Energy. The video was cut short, would have loved to see the reaction of the band and producer etc at the end of the take.
Damn, this footage is priceless. Peter Cetera is from my part of Chicago, the southside. the other bandmembers are from the northside of the city. these guys had a lot of BIG HITS in there day. this is just ONE of them. they made the city of Chicago proud.
@@jefffairley8377 the in studio version - got a link? I'd like to see what you're referring to. In this video and on the single released from the Chicago VI record, Cetera is the primary vocalist. Terry provides backing vocals as does most of the band. The audio used here isn't what appears on the record though. I'd love to hear a Terry Kath take on this one.
These guys are the best of the best. My sisters girlfriend dated Peter Cetera in the "early" days. I use to watch them practice their early hits and use to get backstage passes. Every single one of them were incredible musicians and incredible people. I really miss the original band. R.I.P. Terry. Still miss you after all these years.
I always loved Chicago's music both the Terry Kath and Peter Cetera era these guys are true professionals at what they do as you can see pure dedication.
I love this phenomenal band with and without Peter Cetera. I miss Terry Kath and his fantastic guitar (Jimi Hendrix said "he's better than me"!) and I hated to see Peter leave the band, but the singles he recorded himself are beautiful. I'm about the same age as all these guys (old!), and these songs take me back to the 70s when we were all young. Peter does a great job on Bass too!
How is it that everybody, almost, sounds alike today. So many that I grew up listening to had such recognizable voices. No mistaking the voice of Peter Cetera.
I’ve mistaken Cetera’s voice before. I’ve often said, Peter Cetera and Terry Kath sound nothing alike but Robert Lamm sounds a little like both of them.
Absolutely right. They had their first chance to bow out gracefully after Terry died. They had a second chance to do that when Cetera left. All down hill since.
@@harrisfleming7431 I am so extremely glad they didn't bow out gracefully after Terry died. I can't imagine not having any of their music after Terry died.
Wait a minute I was going along with you Santiago until you said there's nobody that comes close wrong!! Genesis with Phil Collins then behind them comes you too just a tad bit behind Genesis 😄😆
You all might agree, but then that means your not listening to the right music or the right sources. There are many extremely talented artists today making music equally entertaining as anything Chicago produced.
To be totally honest, you are right, but almost everyone (including most people on this comment section) overlook or never hear about these artist because the radio plays these horrible artist and many people are too lazy to look into other stuff or were raised on that music. If only these unknown bands were popular......
It was 1973, I was 18 years old. And my High School Girl Friend Dumped me. But I remember hearing this song on the radio made me feel better. And I was Feeling Stronger Everyday.
I know great music can be made by taking months in the studio and over-dubbing tracks a million times, but a band that can do THIS is in an elite category. No effects, no overdubbing, everyone playing and singing all the parts - just incredible. And not an easy song either! Amazing dynamics start to finish, just awesome on all fronts.
@@cooldaddy232 Several of the guys studied music working towards MFAs or higher. The sax player was headed for the Chicago Symphony but left that track to form the band.
What's amazing is this live take, which obvioulsy has some differences than the album cut, has some elements that are NEAR IDENTICAL to the album cut. So close a times, I though it was the album cut but eventually heard the differences. Which means these dudes are well rehearsed and pro all the way.
@@napnap609 yes you are absolutely right about that the first thing you notice is right in the beginning Terry doesn't have any guitar going before Peter starts singing.
No doubt about it - Chicago is the greatest American rock band, ever. Nobody else had the musical diversity that these guys had, and the ability to pull it off.
@@phoebelots7433 Who else had their talent? And able to perform all their hits live? And who could walk into the studio and bang out a great number like they did here?
who's listening in 2024?
Me❤
I am some of the greatest music that i've ever heard when I think all of the world is ever heard
Hi I am listening. My mix of songs brings back so many memories of when I was young. Now I am 60 years old and still enjoying the music from the 60's 70's and 80's. ❤😊
I haven't stopped since the song first came out!
I'm listening on June 17, 2024 loving every minute of it🤎❤️
Man we were so lucky to grow up with real music 😂
Jeez , these old songs are getting better every day .
Real music, real singers, real musicians, real ltalent...real songs!
Real Good!
And an excess of cocaine
For my money these guys are one of the greatest bands of all time.
Agreed!!!
Agree 💯
Absolutely
You must be rich
I'm right there with you no doubt
Omg! OMG!!! I had forgotten how much I love this music! I'm 70 and it feels like I'm hearing it for the first time!!!!! Thanks!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰✌️✌️✌️
I’m 57 and I still have my Dad’s Chicago lp’s.
I cherish the memory of my Dad taking me to see Chicago at the Universal Ampitheater in the 80’s.

I'm 65 too and love the music from Chicago Band. Sadly they don't come to concerts in Germany, would like to hear them live🎶🎶
I'm 55 and I do too!
50 years later...I'm STILL IN LOVE with these boys..❤
The band so good they named a city after them
fact.
good one my friend.
I grew up with the group. Love the music they made.
Coolest comment ever!?
Their original name was Chicago Transit Authority, but a lawsuit by the actual Chicago Transit Authority made them truncate their name to Chicago.
This song is epic and Chicago is in a league all by itself. The harmony is amazing.
True!!!
Part of Kath’s genius was that this song doesn’t have a guitar solo. As great of a soloist as he was, he knew when a song didn’t need one.
He was undoubtedly a genius. I'm not gonna lie, though, he looks terrible in this video.
His rhythm sounds so cool anyhow 2:33. His guitar sets the mood of the song and drives the others to play at the same level
As a musician I've always believed. Sometimes less is more
@@therabidscorpion Not the best I agree. The Camara angle was ridiculous!
@@321ssteeeeeveI’ve stopped it around 2:21 a million times.
It’s pure God given genius
Rest In Peace Terry🙏

They really were but after that they didn't deserve that kind of credit anymore after the first three albums they went downhill in my book
True!!!

My favorite Chicago song of all time!
This was my theme song after a breakup and I broke up with him lol
WOW that's beautiful and cathartic
The": build up" on this song is amazing. You can feel it getting stronger in every way. Just a fantastic example how music can change you're mood
Will be seeing them here in Maryland in April....the buildup of this song is on my bucket list....I'm going to get it live!!!!
Who's still listening to this AWESOME music in May 2020?
September 2020
I've rediscovered Chicago through Leonid & Friends, a great band from Moscow. They do amazing covers that are must listening for anyone who followed Chicago, Earth Wind ands Fire or Blood Sweat & Tears. Brought it all back tome with their first note.
Me Chicago music will never be forgotten
Everyone in the Southern State's
Best mood elevator EVER !!!
Cetera’s voice was so clear and powerful. The whole band was terrifically fantastic!
A little less on the past tense please..Chicago and Cetera are forever..thank you..🇨🇦

My guys in the band !! How in the world did we we get this old so fast? I just love them !

Balanced....positive....loved.....and respected.
Great point-the music and tv, movies, media etc is designed to bring the opposite effect these days!
And humble!😊

Leonid and friends tribute band sounds exactly like Chicago ❤❤❤ they’re both full of awesome singers n musicians 👏👏👏👍
Saw Chicago In Kc in late 70’s n their performance and sound was outstanding 😂excellent musicians n singers
So were the other two awesome voices who did leads on singles back then too. Please sign off, Peter Cetera puppet or whoever you are
Peter could definitely crank up the voice, Terry on that guitar was incredible. The horns followed the rhythm. Great band, hit after hit. RIP Terry, you were one of the greats!
Once Terry passed they were never the same. I do agree he had a great voice.
Chicago is great for camping, long drives, and late night youtube! Always makes me feel well.

The soundtrack of my life in the 70's. Hardly a day passed by without listening to a Chicago album.

...CHICAGO...BEST BAND EVER!
Spent my life taking Chicago for granted, I'm 56 now and I realize their early stuff was in fact the best in the universe
In those times, Chicago was pure hope, clarity and so freggin amazing! A sound like no other. Santana was close.
Who today could sound this good live?? Not many-Chicago ruled in the 1970's-RIP Terry Kath
I was born in 1951 my age landed me spot on in the 70s music. Never heard this cut before. Only one word comes to my head spectacular!!!!!!!!
Don I was right behind you, born in 1955. Always loved Chicago.
What I always liked about Chicago was the horns. It's rare in rock music but what a great difference it adds!
Blood, Sweat and Tears too! Yep, horns can be GREAT in rock when done correctly.
BS&T and the Sons of Champlin also used lots horns!
The horns, separated them from everybody else.
Terry Kath was gonna quit because of the horns.
SUCKS cause the horns majestic it tuff to cover ... but ya the horns are awesome
PURE PERFECTION! I'm 55 and never get tired of hearing this song and watching these *incredibly* talented musicians perform together!!! ❤🎶
True!!!
Man, even as a little girl in the 70s, I remember all these songs from Chicago. Their songs were classics! Man...I miss those days
Me too. I was 8 when this came out. Older siblings were in high school blaring this on the stereo. I'd go back in a heart beat.
One of the grestest "jam session" bands ever. Cetera's voice... top shelf!
Damn, I could listen to this forever. Chicago is at the height of their powers here. Grew up in Chicagoland and they will always be in my top three bands of all time! So happy I grew up in the '60s and '70s, when music was passionate and REAL.

Thank you Chicago for this freaking blessing!!!!
Yes indeed!!!!
I always loved Chicago's music both the Terry Kath and Peter Cetera era these guys are true professionals at what they do as you can see pure dedication.
I love this phenomenal band with and without Peter Cetera. I miss Terry Kath and his fantastic guitar (Jimi Hendrix said "he's better than me"!) and I hated to see Peter leave the band, but the singles he recorded himself are beautiful. I'm about the same age as all these guys (old!), and these songs take me back to the 70s when we were all young. Peter does a great job on Bass too!
How is it that everybody, almost, sounds alike today. So many that I grew up listening to had such recognizable voices. No mistaking the voice of Peter Cetera.
brooks wade This is so true , his voice sounds like an instrument !!!!!!!!
Thats cause who runs music today interchangeable
I’ve mistaken Cetera’s voice before. I’ve often said, Peter Cetera and Terry Kath sound nothing alike but Robert Lamm sounds a little like both of them.
The original Chicago was the best.....love this song and the late Terry Kath.
Absolutely right. They had their first chance to bow out gracefully after Terry died. They had a second chance to do that when Cetera left. All down hill since.
@@harrisfleming7431 I am so extremely glad they didn't bow out gracefully after Terry died. I can't imagine not having any of their music after Terry died.
marie elena Yet this was a Cetera Pankow song, yes?
I have seen them many times through the years and have always been amazed @ How they kept the sound alive. God bless Terry !!!
Lucy Foster It is, but it wouldn’t rock without Terry’s guitar, he balanced out Cetera’s wussyness.
HUGE talents all of them. nobody today comes close
Wait a minute I was going along with you Santiago until you said there's nobody that comes close wrong!! Genesis with Phil Collins then behind them comes you too just a tad bit behind Genesis 😄😆
THIS BAND HAD SO MANY GREAT SONGS
THEY ARE IN MY TOP 5.
There is more talent in this one clip than all the music today combined.
Agree.
Truth!
You all might agree, but then that means your not listening to the right music or the right sources. There are many extremely talented artists today making music equally entertaining as anything Chicago produced.
Damn right it was 70's & 80's put out some damn good music, not this shit today that they call music
To be totally honest, you are right, but almost everyone (including most people on this comment section) overlook or never hear about these artist because the radio plays these horrible artist and many people are too lazy to look into other stuff or were raised on that music. If only these unknown bands were popular......
Geez, just incredible musicians, and Peter Cetera's voice is silky smooth.
Chicago was one of my favorite groups!
It was 1973, I was 18 years old. And my High School Girl Friend Dumped me. But I remember hearing this song on the radio made me feel better. And I was Feeling Stronger Everyday.
I know great music can be made by taking months in the studio and over-dubbing tracks a million times, but a band that can do THIS is in an elite category. No effects, no overdubbing, everyone playing and singing all the parts - just incredible. And not an easy song either! Amazing dynamics start to finish, just awesome on all fronts.
True!!!
It’s called talent, it’s in short supply in the industry now
@@cooldaddy232 Several of the guys studied music working towards MFAs or higher. The sax player was headed for the Chicago Symphony but left that track to form the band.
@@jimcameron2511How times change, if you get an education these days you're called a socialist.....
Great band reminds me the good old days 😌
Chicago rocks. Great blend of guitar, horns and vocal melodies!!
I'm 70 and I still love their music...❤
This ain't the album version synched to video footage. These guys are really playing this...LIVE!!!!!!!! AWESOMENESS!!!!!!
What's amazing is this live take, which obvioulsy has some differences than the album cut, has some elements that are NEAR IDENTICAL to the album cut. So close a times, I though it was the album cut but eventually heard the differences. Which means these dudes are well rehearsed and pro all the way.
Omg of course
@@napnap609 yes you are absolutely right about that the first thing you notice is right in the beginning Terry doesn't have any guitar going before Peter starts singing.
There hasn't been a song in the last 25 years even half as good as this masterpiece.
Well said!!!
So proud to have seen them in concert in western New York in late 70s. ❤💗❤
No doubt about it - Chicago is the greatest American rock band, ever. Nobody else had the musical diversity that these guys had, and the ability to pull it off.
Umm….no
@@phoebelots7433 Who else had their talent? And able to perform all their hits live? And who could walk into the studio and bang out a great number like they did here?
