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 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.
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 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!
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.
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 RUclips continues this.
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!
@@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 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
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.
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!
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.
Gotta love FILM! Still looks like we’re right there in the studio 50 years later. Lost who knows how much great video to deteriorated vhs tape. Sending all Chicago fans LOVE from Scottsdale Arizona.
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
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.
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.
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?
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.
@@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.
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.
I attended a Chicago concert June 2023 (Rochester, NY), then saw them together with Earth Wind and Fire last week (Toronto). They are truly amazing. One of my all-time favorite bands!!!
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......
I love Chicago and always have. Maybe I'm biased but every note they play or sing is absolutely perfect for each song. Exceptional group of extremely talented musicians! Nothing from today can compare or even come close!
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!
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
This being my favorite of their songs I really have got to say that they really are great,superb,and dead talented wonderfully with those wonderful trumpets of theirs!!! Chicago is no doubt at all 1 of my favorite bands!! I've got the C.D. with all the best songs of them
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.
Jeez , these old songs are getting better every day .
On dedicating I like them I'm dedicated to the old time rock and roll Bob Seger 2 Yep
Man we were so lucky to grow up with real music 😂
Amen to that!!
so true we were lucky to have all this great music
For my money these guys are one of the greatest bands of all time.
Agreed!!!

Glad you came home…thank God my dad and cousin did too.
Hang in there and jam to tunes, Sir.
Cetera’s voice is truly angelic! 😇
The change in tempo is genius.
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.
Chicago was one of the greatest bands
The greatest American band ever!
who's listening in 2024?

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!

that kick foot is doing stuff i simply can not figure out.
Carnegie Hall!
no, he's not
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!!!
@@tinpanally51_36 thats because Kath died
@@morrisonreed1 Terry Kath died in 1978. His last album was XI. So I think they were great for more than 3 albums

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 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.
Little did I know how lucky was to be a teenager in the 70's. Best time of my life.

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

@@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.
Exactly - Chicago recorded the CTA double album in less than a week.
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.
well truly said !
True ,todaycool the tudtuk music!?
Aranka Domonkosne I hate the Tuc Tuc music!!!!
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.
I attended a Chicago concert June 2023 (Rochester, NY), then saw them together with Earth Wind and Fire last week (Toronto). They are truly amazing. One of my all-time favorite bands!!!
This song got me through a very bad case of COVID a few years ago - forever grateful!
Glad you're doin' okay, Todd!
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......
I love Chicago and always have. Maybe I'm biased but every note they play or sing is absolutely perfect for each song. Exceptional group of extremely talented musicians! Nothing from today can compare or even come close!
My favorite song for nearly 50 years!!!!
Walt miss you buddy. Get stronger every day. A friend who has loved Chicago since u started. Paul Stephenson from Sandusky Ohio. Luv you guys 😘
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.
great band great singer great everything
Brilliant musicians at work... they always leave me in awe!
Don't they absolutely I myself feel the same way
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!
Kinda song that gives me goosebumps. What a band!
I’d bet they all had em too.
True!!!
They had it all. Chemistry, talent, magic.
I always loved the horns & music with all their songs. Best Chicago group ever!
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!
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.
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.
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.
Nice
He could sing back in the day!
“Ok…we think we have a new mix on the earphones and why don’t you play a little bit so we can evaluate.”
And…..PERFECTION!!!
They were making history and didnt even know it. Powerful tune.
True!!!
Net wat u zegt (dutch). right on.
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.
Being a Chicagoan born and raised, I sure adore Chicago's music. I remember every word.
Check out Leonid and Friends for amazing covers of Chicago
Hello how are you doing
This being my favorite of their songs I really have got to say that they really are great,superb,and dead talented wonderfully with those wonderful trumpets of theirs!!! Chicago is no doubt at all 1 of my favorite bands!! I've got the C.D. with all the best songs of them
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.
One of the grestest "jam session" bands ever. Cetera's voice... top shelf!
Thank you Chicago for this freaking blessing!!!!
Yes indeed!!!!
I absolutely love Chicago hands down they are one of the best bands ever the talent is remarkable
