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.
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!
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.
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 RU-vid continues this.
@@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 .!
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💪
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.
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. ❤😊
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!
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.
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!
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
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......
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.
@@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.
Take a note kids. This is how they did it back in the day. Now days you hear about artists/groups saying they spent a year (or more) in the studio for a song or album that only has 10 words and uses computer generated "instruments". These guys go into a studio for a week to a month and put out music that is golden,,, with real instruments.
Those guys were so hot and prolific back then they had to keep putting out double albums to accommodate the amount of material. Chicago II and III were doubles, Chicago IV, Live @ Carnegie Hall was a 4 record set, and Chicago VII was a double. I think song-for-song, Chicago V was their creative peak. The song in this video, Feeling Stronger Every Day is from Chicago VI. Though they've have some bright moments over the years, I lost interest after Terry Kath went in 1978. I was buying their records as they came out and learned to play bass listening to them and Blood, Sweat & Tears. That was pop music back then. I remember going to high school dances back then and the bands would have a horn section and play stuff like Make Me Smile or Color My World (and they were good!) That was normal back then.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
Even as a fan of Metal bands that are considered to be 'tight' when playing together live (Iron Maiden, Metallica, Tool) it is unbelievable to see how tight Chicago was in this video. To do this live in the studio this well blows me away, I know it was before my time, but WOW!
hey, i am a fan of PUNK bands who are thought of as people who cant play, thats when you know someone as never heard Robert Quine shred a stratocaster or the drums of George Hurley (minutemen) or plenty of others. Chicagos CTA first album is raw and LOUD.
@Joe Townsend thats usually how a recording session goes...nobody is in the same room. this is done for the videos sake. especially with a huge band...everything would bleed into everything else and the recording would be a mess
@@DaveAnchovies Minuteman fan here too! That stuff there or this stuff here completely fits in with that why they are both great. Danny Serephine or George Hurley are two great drummers. Right up there with Neil Peart, John Bonham, or Bill Ward!
@@DaveAnchovies When bands play live in the studio, they are usually in isolation rooms for the reason you stated. Some studios are set up with the isolation rooms facing into the main studio so everyone can see each other if they want.
@@willer3399 That is today. In 1973, I suspect that was far less common. Even when the rooms were available, studio time was extremely expensive. Bands had to go in there, get it done, and leave ASAP. Also, lots of studio tricks of today didn’t exist then. The pauses on 21st Century Schizoid Man were done live in the studio (and live).
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.
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 am 20 years of age, and grew up on 70s music, as well as 80s, courtesy of my mom who played all the classics in the car when I was young. It's too bad that most music now is just trashy, synthesized and all sounds the same. Chicago has always been one of my favorites, because of its unique blend of brass instruments, along with guitars and keyboards. Music was more about the passion back then, and this video is proof of that. Just listen to how amazing and crisp they are! This is raw talent with no gimmicks, voice tuning or synthetic sounds! I will never let music like this die in my family when I get older, too bad kids like and listen to trash nowadays, and many don't appreciate the classics like Chicago. It's just sad.
+Trevor Cowley I'm around the same age, born in 91.. Glad to know there are peers who feel the same, and were raised on quality music & are quick to spot a true artist from the fabricated impostors who flood the senses today, right now.
+Task ForceTaylin it is so true! The music today is very computerized and synthetic. Of course I am not saying that there are not talented artists and composers now, but a lot of what I hear on the radio is electronic teeny bop crap that all sounds the same. I try to get my friends to listen to the old 70s music but they don't appreciate it like I do. I will make sure I keep music like this in my family when I get older, and show my kids what real music is. I am just glad that someone like you appreciates the classics as much as I do!
Love the song...and the video, but I'm leaning towards the song audio not being the take that these guys are performing there (?) Just my hunch. All the same it's great no matter how it's produced.
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
Peter Cetera had such a unique vocal tone and range at a time of great R&R and rhythm and blues bands... no one sounds even remotely like him half a century later. That's talent.
@@DaveAnchovies Ha ha ha No Peter was actually the strongest along with Terry Kath. Peter has such a diverse vocal range. Just do a bit of digging and it's amazing.
@@DaveAnchovies Cetera is easily the most talented vocal. Every member of the band would agree with that easily. Just listen to his replacements attempting to cover his tunes. Great efforts and I admire them for their talent but all failed completely.
It is impossible to replicate the feel of the actual BAND being there, in person, and laying down the sounds until it is RIGHT! Wicked hard work but dam sure worth the effort. Gotta love Chicago!
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 😄😆
