Long Live Peter Cetera. Rock On, baby. I've been with you from the beginning and watched you grow into your amazing talent. Thank you for sharing your Gift with the world. I love you!
I have to say Peter is the king of cool oh my gosh having a base in his hand again and singing and he knows just how to get those notes out to make the points this is what I'm talkin about a professional
Thanks for all of these fantastic quality videos. This is the most into it I've seen Peter in forever. His voice is definitely on and his bass playing is getting more adventurous!
yes - look at the 9 second mark- upper left. Pete only pulled out the bass in the encore - guitar or nothing during the main set (but damn he has no idea what to do with his hands without a bass or guitar). You can see the bass player clearly on Feelin Stronger 5:40 +/- mark
Absolutely amazing. Peter Cetera is badass to contradict Cobra Kai. His vocals and bass playing are spot on like they were on day 1. Usually when singers age, the songs are tuned down a pitch or 2 to keep up. Not for Pete 👍
I'm surprised to hear this... both songs are in the original keys I think. They're not taken half the musical scale down like many of his other songs live. A few notes are out of his current singing range, but he manages to work around it. Awesome!
So beautiful, and yet so sad. Terry's death had an effect on Peter in ways no one will ever understand. In my opinion, when Terry passed, so did Peter's soul passion.
Peter stopped playing the bass for a long spell and its no surprise he lost his chops. Check out the 1970 concert and watch his finger work-really impressive.
How do I know? If a picture tells a thousand words then this seven minute video speaks a million words. Cetera and his pickup band seem more like a lounge act.
We're too greedy. Do we really expect the casinos to give Cetera the money to replicate the sound on the record umpteen times a week for drunk Jersey gamblers in 2016? No way. Let's just be glad Cetera hasn't retired yet, because there will be a day he will. He's just padding his retirement fund now, and we;re left with the memories of when this song first hit the airwaves.
miss the crazy drum solo in the original i’m a man- plus terry's lead off vocals and guitar- but then again seeing the other current version without peter doesn't sound right- and they can't even do the second song without peter- wish they could have put their bs aside and played either of these sans terry at the rock and roll hall of fame- but we know what happened
Why couldn't they have agreed to sing this song at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Ceremony? They key is the same as the original and that was the problem on their planning to do 25 or 6 to 4.
2008PLS yeah ... ok. Because the band was so swell ... sitting Danny and Michelle (Kath) at another table, trying to limit Danny’s performance to a single song, refusing to change the key for Peter, refusing to thank or perform with former members (including Donnie and Laudir that were in the audience. And who could forget Lamm’s insultingly nasty blog, attacking Danny and Bill
He still sings and looks really good but not the eye candy he was in Chicago. I like him no matter what but did he get religious or something after he left Chicago? His solo music was more mainstream pop/easy listening and kind of reminds me of Christian rock. I like it but it's very different from early Chicago times.
Thats because a lot of the early Chicago material Cetera didn't write, he composed a song or two in the early stages of Chicago but he became really a dominant writer during Chicago 16&17 and his songs saved the band's career.
Peter and his band , like it or not 👉 SOUNDED MORE LIKE CHICAGO THAN CHICAGO has sounded in the last 20 yrs. He's ain't sweating nothing. He's enjoying retirement these days. Can't touch this .
Rant...A horrible nasty attitude to public meets them ....Refuses to sign chicago items. holding back on this song as he can't quite cut it anymore. In downtuned version. Didnt play with Chicago at the Hall of fame because he couldn't play in the keys that were needed to sound good. Etc..... that said ...I liked vocally his early career no doubt, and was great
You should get your facts straight, by listening to direct sources of interviews with Peter and what's written in Danny's book. Peter wanted out of Chicago after Terry's death in 1977. He recorded his first solo album in 1980. By the time 1982 hit and the band was recording Chicago 16 everyone in the band except Danny and Peter were addicted to drugs and not getting any help/rehab. It was so bad that they scrapped the entire album and Danny asked David Foster to come onboard and produce the album. The people that were horrible to him was particularly Robert Lamm He was jealous of Peter in the spotlight. Peter never wanted that. If you watch live videos of Chicago prior to the 1982 album you will see that Peter is always off to the left or right side directly with the band. It was up to him or Danny to take the lead and be the face of Chicago and try to save the band. Of course it was decided that Peter would be front-and-center because he was the most attractive. He did not want to write those songs and he did not want to be in the group but because the songs were so popular he stayed. He got nothing but s*** from the rest of the band because they hated the songs, yet they were the ones who wrote complete s*** that was so bad the recordings were trashed. They have no problems singing those songs to this day and make money off them! Peter officially left the band after 17 was recorded. He never toured with them. He asked repeatedly to work out a deal where he could do solo stuff and be in the band and not tour as much to spend time with his young daughter and wife. Basically a deal how Phil Collins had with Genesis. Danny says in his autobiography that was the stupidest decision Chicago ever made by not agreeing to what Peter wanted to do. And their sales got worse as soon as Peter second album came out and had multiple hits on it including two number one hits. At that time the only two songs that became number one on the chart in the past where songs that Peter wrote and sang lead in Chicago, If you Leave me Now, and Hard to Say I'm Sorry. Can you really blame the guy for not wanting to sign any Chicago items? They were horrible to him and kicked him to the curb as well as Danny. He wanted to sing at the hall of Fame ceremony and said multiple times in interviews and quotes in valid printed sources he wanted to be there and he suggested that everyone in the band especially Jason Sheaf and Jeff Coffey and himself should sing with the band. He said this repeatedly and was never told yes or no. They never contacted him about his great idea to perform as a complete group and acknowledging everyone who was a member and deserved to be rewarded. It is evident that Chicago did not listen because Jeff Coffey was sitting at a table with Terry's daughter. Of course the key needed to be lowered Peters in his seventies! He's one of the few artists that has not lost his Timber and tone quality since he was in his twenties. Please show me or tell me of another individual and their 70s whose voice is not destroyed. There are none because almost everyone in the field and the seventies drank and smoked. Peter was the first one to get clean in the group, stop smoking and drinking, and begin working out more to stay healthy. This is evidenced by how his voice sound now and how he protected it. Of course not constantly touring helped as well. Furthermore, Jason Scheff has talked in interviews about how trying to sing in the keys that Peter naturally sang in were out of his register and he more or less destroyed his voice because of it. He was the longest running and lead vocalist in the band and was constantly touring as well nobody can sing their original key anymore. So that was not the reason he did not want to sing in the original key. It was the same as 80s that they gave Peter any credit, they did not want to listen and honour his suggestions to have everybody through the years that sang in the band, especially lead, to unite and sing. Robert Lamm only wanted the people to sing that he wanted. He and Peter used to be really close and were married too different wives who were sisters. But something happened after the 80s that he hated because Peter got attention. I admire Peter greatly for choosing his family over not making a ton of money touring after Chicago 17 which was their most successful album to the present date. I don't understand how anyone can fault him for that and because of how he was treated. Why would he sign anything from the band. Sorry, I'm following your rant with a rant. Lol! You are certainly entitled to your own opinion, but if you do the research and listen to first-hand interviews as well as Danny's autobiography it proves actual facts. So do with that what you will.
Chicago treated Cetera like hired help, it would've been embarassing if he stayed. "GLORY OF LOVE" and "NEXT TIME I FALL" two number one songs after leaving Chicago, nothing embarrassing about that.
Oh, you mean the Chicago of the 80s that recorded an album and the only two people that were not drunk or addicted to drugs were Peter and Danny? They had to trash the original album that was Chicago 16 and Danny hired David Foster as a producer and everything was Rewritten and re-recorded. You can literally watch the videos and see how fat and Bloated Robert is and the videos. Robert blames Peter for all the music and Chicago 16 and 17 and bitched about how it was the most embarrassing time of his career. Funny how they still play all those songs and make money off them. Peter was ready to quit after Terry died. The only thing that made Chicago half-decent was Peter, Terry, and Danny. Peter recorded an album, his first album in 1980 before Chicago 16 was even written. He was ready to leave and tired of touring with no break because he wanted to spend time with his new daughter and wife. Have you seriously heard any Chicago records after Chicago 21? Those albums are what is embarrassing without Danny and Peter. It's Chicago it's so wonderful and great now how come they can't sell albums? Use your brain and actually watch video from the sources. Directly from Danny and Peter. Of course you're entitled to your opinion, but it is the complete opposite of almost everyone's opinion. And why are you even on here watching this do not like Peter Cetera and Chicago, it certainly does not make sense.?
@HeatherAMS Heather? Most of what you posted here is 99% correct. The 1% that's missing is the fact that jealous crybaby, Robert Lamm, who hasn't written or sung a hit song in CHICAGO since 1976s ANOTHER RAINY DAY IN NEW YORK CITY (which Lamm wrote, Cetera sung it) Uh, Robert Lamm is NOT on Chicago 16, the band credited him on the personnel list on that album as a band member and his name is credited on GETAWAY but that's about it. He was in rehab during the making of that album. So no, he's not playing on it , no nothing. On Chicago 17, despite "We can stop the hurting," and he co-sang on "ONLY YOU" with Bill Champlin written by Pankow, Lamm was NOT around very much on Chicago 17 either. On the inner sleeve of that C.D it was revealed he was "ailing " most of the time, and he wasn't very available on the recording of that album . Those two albums, 16 &17, did better than anything he actually was on after those two albums. Since July 1985, when Cetera was forced out till this day, Lamm the crybaby had a thousand opportunities to write/sing/produce a new hit for Chicago. He hasn't done it. After 38 yrs, do you think crybaby Lamm is still whining "BUT CETERA "? Just wondering.
It's obvious the wrong guy shot himself in the head by mistake forty years ago. Cetera looks totally disinterested in the entire proceedings. I hope those AC gamblers were comped for this travesty, I could not imagine paying money to see it.
Long Live Peter Cetera.
Rock On, baby.
I've been with you from the beginning and watched you grow into your amazing talent.
Thank you for sharing your Gift with the world.
I love you!
Peter is amazing..Vocals, aged well, great stage moves, great presence..bass sounds good..Playing bass and singing at same time..wow..rough
He did that from 1977 until 1985. That's what Peter did.
Peter Cetera is one of my idols in the band Chicago! 'been listening to him and the band since high school 😊
This band plays great... And Peter still fit !!!
I have to say Peter is the king of cool oh my gosh having a base in his hand again and singing and he knows just how to get those notes out to make the points this is what I'm talkin about a professional
Great opportunity for all the guys to 'break loose'!! Tony so concentrated and Chris so animated....and Peter.....great as always!
/
I saw him in Waukegan, IL last night - I got a little bit of this on video but ran out of storage on my phone. Absolutely love it!
The only thing that would have made this better would be if Danny Seraphine was at the kit. He and Peter made one hell of a rhythm section.
Thanks for all of these fantastic quality videos. This is the most into it I've seen Peter in forever. His voice is definitely on and his bass playing is getting more adventurous!
Why is there another bass player up top?
Why is there another bass player up top?
Why is there another bass player up top?
+Vince Lule Where's the other bassist? I just see 2 guys behind him on 6 string guitars.
yes - look at the 9 second mark- upper left. Pete only pulled out the bass in the encore - guitar or nothing during the main set (but damn he has no idea what to do with his hands without a bass or guitar). You can see the bass player clearly on Feelin Stronger 5:40 +/- mark
Absolutely amazing. Peter Cetera is badass to contradict Cobra Kai. His vocals and bass playing are spot on like they were on day 1. Usually when singers age, the songs are tuned down a pitch or 2 to keep up. Not for Pete 👍
Happy to see Chris Rodriguez. You rock Chris
I'm surprised to hear this... both songs are in the original keys I think. They're not taken half the musical scale down like many of his other songs live. A few notes are out of his current singing range, but he manages to work around it. Awesome!
Peter still had his special sound!!! Tony Obrotha! Best guitar player ever!!!!!!
Muito bom !!! .
Always Chicago one of my favorite i write lyrics and poetry and music is my life
wow awsome
Long live Peter Cetera!
So beautiful, and yet so sad. Terry's death had an effect on Peter in ways no one will ever understand. In my opinion, when Terry passed, so did Peter's soul passion.
Terry Kath was such a gift to this world. RIP Terry 💔
His voice timbre hasn't changed in 40 years. Amazing. He's lost his upper range but that's ok.
I like peter cetera the way he is
... plenty of guys like Cetera are asking themselves today, "why did we record these songs so fucking high ?"
Still sounds good..but miss the horns.
Song is simply not the same without Terry ripping that guitar.
…or Danny Seraphine tearing up the drums.
not bad for 72 years old..
No, actually it was bad.
Apologies are in order for Steve Winwood!
damn you age for taking every great singer's voice
GOD DAM GET HIM AND DANNY BACK IN CHICAGO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What difference does it make? From this video he has two guitarists and two keyboard players also .... need another drummer to round it out!
Pedro's still has the lungs!!!!!
Am I seeing 2 bass players? I know Peter is a great bass player but why the other guy in the back.
i’’m a man is the only song i dont like peter singing, lou pardini knocks that song outta the park, pete your amazing being over 70 🙏
Peter doesn't sing "I'm a man" by himself. There were 3 singers on Chicago's original version of that song written by Steve Winwood.
It's interesting that Peter's lead guitarist Tony Obrohta is now the lead guitarist for Chicago.
I LIKE PETER CETERA THE WAY HE IS. NO LONG HAIR AND NO DIRTY CLOTHES
Why is the other bass player still playing?
Chicago died when Terry Kath died in 1978
Who's really playing bass? Peter or the guy in the background?
He's still great but too bad there wasn't any of that signature brass sound which I loved.
feeling stronger everyday" was co wrote with Jimmy Pankow
I always thought that Peter was a spot on bass player but this video throws me for a loop. Why the second bass player?
I dunno maybe when you're 72 you can better answer that question
Peter stopped playing the bass for a long spell and its no surprise he lost his chops. Check out the 1970 concert and watch his finger work-really impressive.
Because he has total disinterest and is going through the motions. He's just doing it for the money at this point.
How do I know? If a picture tells a thousand words then this seven minute video speaks a million words. Cetera and his pickup band seem more like a lounge act.
Peter is playing his bass! What is the matter with you people?? You just criticize. You couldn’t come close to what Peter does.
I love Chicago and Peter but everyone needs to check out Leonid and Friends. You'll thank me later.....
We're too greedy. Do we really expect the casinos to give Cetera the money to replicate the sound on the record umpteen times a week for drunk Jersey gamblers in 2016? No way. Let's just be glad Cetera hasn't retired yet, because there will be a day he will.

This is the geriatric version of feeling stronger every day
the horns are what make feeling stronger everyday, and what is the deal with the young kids trying to sing like old chicago
Who's bass do we actually hear?
Geoffrey Marcus they’re both playing
Why couldn't they have agreed to sing this song at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Ceremony? They key is the same as the original and that was the problem on their planning to do 25 or 6 to 4.
Unfortunately it seemed that Peter was a primadonna and wanted everything his way for their performance, as if he was the only one that mattered
I believe Laudir passed away.
2008PLS yeah ... ok. Because the band was so swell ... sitting Danny and Michelle (Kath) at another table, trying to limit Danny’s performance to a single song, refusing to change the key for Peter, refusing to thank or perform with former members (including Donnie and Laudir that were in the audience. And who could forget Lamm’s insultingly nasty blog, attacking Danny and Bill
this song needs long hair ,dirty clothes and attitude
spot on. Way to sterile. Looks like a bunch of lawyers on their lunch break
ROFLLMFAO Itotally agree with you both
billy copper When you are 72 years old, long hair and dirty clothes look really ridiculous. Peter looks great as is.
billy copper. Where are the Horns ??????
DQDebra dead wrong Short hair and suits are not grass roots rock. A man can rock long hair at any age
Looked like the 2nd bass guitarist is using a 5-string bass.
the sound guy needs a slap.
Chicago songs with no horns?.
No way.
ROFL Yep
Just the way Cetera likes it!!
This song never had horns... Stfu..
JM Studios Feeling Stronger Everyday had horns. I'm a Man didn't have horns.
He took a few hours off from his bank president job to come play bass.
Better with Chicago
He still sings and looks really good but not the eye candy he was in Chicago. I like him no matter what but did he get religious or something after he left Chicago? His solo music was more mainstream pop/easy listening and kind of reminds me of Christian rock. I like it but it's very different from early Chicago times.
Thats because a lot of the early Chicago material Cetera didn't write, he composed a song or two in the early stages of Chicago but he became really a dominant writer during Chicago 16&17 and his songs saved the band's career.
Jason Schff should take notes
Should've stayed.
this is like chigago lite..jv.. pete needs another bass player to hold it down? cmon now bobby has his head down and terry is turning over
Leonid and friends do a better job.
That stinks or even close to the original
So the female is singing she's a man whom if that was Caitlin Jenner that would fit perfectly for him LOL
You're a nasty person. The devil can't wait to get you down there with him.
Lifelong fan. But he sucked in these tunes
Peter and his band , like it or not 👉 SOUNDED MORE LIKE CHICAGO THAN CHICAGO has sounded in the last 20 yrs. He's ain't sweating nothing. He's enjoying retirement these days. Can't touch this .
He should give it up. On "Stronger" he sounds horrible!!!
TRAITOR
Well that sucked.Cetera's voice is shot and no Terry Katz.
Who's Terry *Katz*??😅🤣
@@chrisl62583 KATH. TYPE ERROR.
Give it up Peter. This classic is being murdered. Background singers way off key. Yuck.
Nice try PC
don't sound that great needs horns
Awfuk
