Bill Champlin with KORK at Rockefeller

NRK2 tirsdag 27. desember 2011 kl 22.10 Bill Champlin med KORK på Rockefeller
Amerikansk vestkystrock
I 1982 ble Bill Champlin med som vokalist og keyboardist i supergruppa Chicago. I kveld får vi høre ham i samspill med Kringkastingsorkestret i en konsert med amerikansk vestkystrock.
Opptaket ble gjort på Rockefeller i Oslo, og dirigent er Lars Erik Gudim.
Vi kjenner Bill Champlin best fra hans tid med supergruppa Chicago. Det er få band som har solgt så mange plater som Chicago, særlig i perioden fra begynnelsen av 80-tallet da produsenten David Foster kom inn i bildet. På omtrent samme tid ble Bill Champlin med som vokalist og keyboardist. Ved siden av å turnere og spille inn plater med Chicago har Bill Champlin også gitt ut soloalbum.

One of the greatest thrills of my life was opening for the "Sons of Champlin" in the '70's. Then having Terry Haggerty play on my album. This set is a real FIND! Thanks for posting. Champlin and company can do no wrong here! God bless us, and happy 2024.

Wow! Fun 4 u!

The Handsome & Talented Bill Champlin & his Beautiful talented wife Tamara Champlin.💞

[@hughgerrard1129]

As a lifelong fan of Bill Champlin's I can honestly say this among the best performances I have ever seen him pull off. What a delight it is to hear your favorite artist backed by an orchestra of this caliber. I only wish everyone had the opportunity to see this great performance.

[@runejohansson5560]

I was lucky to be there and witness the greatness :-)

[@guillermomenehanez2476]

Yeah..Bill is a long way from Fairxax now.

[@nursedebbie1332]

How have I never seen this? I adored his talents in Chicago. Bill Champlin has amazing pipes, plus an amazing songwriter. ❤️‍🔥

[@johnhanusek5254]

One of the greatest artists of our time, truly underrated!!

[@oscarmere1365]

just people with high sense of music will keep listen to his music, don't worry brother.. we enjoy his music.. just rubbish go to listen to justin bibber

[@bradbeck940]

Not by me 😉

[@musicboxstudio1965]

Help! I can't get these goose bumps and hairs standing all over me to calm down!!! Awesome Concert. Can't believe it's only been 10-11 years this has been hiding out there. This should be shown to every student that is studying music in every musical teaching institution. Truly one of the greatest and talented men in music!! Thanks Bill

[@sharktroubles]

One of the most unheralded musical heroes America has ever produced. It's long overdue that Mr.Bill Champlin was backed by a full orchestra. I wish this had lasted longer. Thanks for this awesome upload of a master at his finest!

[@johnbrady3279]

Wonderful music My favorite singer songwriter since the early days of the sons

[@nowokebloke]

Bill Champlin is one of a kind! What a gem of a performance! Can't wait for CWF III soon!

[@PertNeubees]

As Bill states in this interview for the concert, "anyone who knows my music, will kick themselves in the arse, if they miss this show!" - I agree. Bill you and The SONS are and have been the real deal! Thanks for sharing so much of yourself throughout the years...see you soon.

[@guillermomenehanez2476]

KORK is a radio orchestra affiliated with the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation. I had to Google that!

[@lamarravery4094]

Never knew Bill had an orchestral accompaniment, veey cool.

[@elaedctr3222]

Great to hear Bill stretch out on guitar at 45:40!! I knew he could play, but this is the first time I hear him!

[@НатальяБажина]

Thank,s Morten ❤🎉

[@myfj40]

Very Cool to see Bill and crew with a great orchestra! Fabulous!

[@peevee605]

Wicked performance by Mr&Mrs Champlin with this orchestra...and some mean rythm geetar by Jojje Wadenius to the booth. Love it!

[@bradlyscotunes9156]

Great to hear Bill arrangements with a Big horn section!

[@BobGrubel]

How fine is this?!!!! Wow Bill is shining and the musicians are fired up big time.. thanks for sharing.. i hope to catch the SONS this year on the west coast and i live on the east coast.. damn it's been too long!!

[@twin_zodiac]

Grabe! Walang kupas ang boses! Salute you idol.. 😍😍😍

[@dlrdanny]

This is friggin great... what amazing chord progressions that take you to another planet.... I used to listen to Bill way back but lost contact over the years... wow, just recapping here... what a great artist :-) Danny

[@grahamclews1571]

'Keys to the Kingdom' is so awesome

[@GudmundurKristjansson]

That's just FANTASTIC the only drawback is that this is just a 380p copy. it would have been nice to see it in higher resolution

[@futsal1958]

Wow, this is just overwhelming! Back home, Bill plays much more humble venues.

[@hansumjoe]

this is just way too cool...tha arrangements are just perfect, the crowd is hot, and Bill is on fire...pls do this in the CONUS Bill!!!

[@MichaelWalkerWV2SC]

I had never heard 'All Along" before. Awesome, brought tears to my eyes but I think you have to be a little older to understand or perhaps appreciate it. I get it, Bill.

[@klausjakobsen74]

Great show! Looking forward to Bills new album in 2021!

[@НатальяБажина]

Happiness comes to those who do not expect it 🙏💟

Saw Sons Of Champlain 1st in 1969, Tamalpais High @ age 14.

[@tabachen2010]

Mr.Champlin is GREAT!!! BRAVISSIMO!!!

[@НатальяБажина]

Absolut 😊❤❤❤🎉

[@davidgale877]

Great! and....I didn't know he wrote all those cool tunes. The sax solos were the only (minor) let down. But, all is forgiven because as I am writing this I hear Bills awesome angular guitar solo on "Take it uptown".....I'm ok now.............

[@MrZingoz]

Great concert. I am impressed with how well the Nordmenn can play funk music!

[@losfrodos]

MrZingoz ... check out mr Ole Børud. Norwegian king of funk👍

[@GudmundurKristjansson]

Just think of that Norwegian landscape, or the "King of the Hallen" Edward Grieg ! He really could swing and add some funky elements into his compositions! Right?

[@名もなき旅人-s2h]

名盤「single」がこんな形で聴けるとは・・・涙・涙・涙です。 全盛期のパワフルさは影をひそめた感じですが、確か60歳くらいだと。 What a wonderful songs! Great! Viva!

[@doctorvik9093]

Great musician, great performance!!

[@jpag57]

Mr. Bill, the band and orchestra lay it down!

[@IMCcanTWEESTED]

All the music he has written or arranged all bear his unmistakable "mark". I will hear a certain chord progression in a song with the Champlin funcopation and I'll say, "Either written by or inspired by Bill Champlin".

[@stonan]

Bill for president!

[@jamieh1792]

nice words you did there Bill to go with those nice chord changes -

[@dennisjohndreher7258]

Greatest vocalist of our time.

[@thomaskrueger2320]

Not even remotely close. He's darn good, and I loved his Runaway album, but the late, great Brad Delp was amazing, and Jon Anderson is close to amazing as well. But Champlin is competent, no doubt.

[@tjrox]

@@thomaskrueger2320 Don’t David Pack and Micke Thomas

[@mmcgahn5948]

Actually, he should leave the vocals to someone else.

[@bradlyscotunes9156]

​@@thomaskrueger2320Jon Anderson wishes he had Bill's soul!

[@bradlyscotunes9156]

​@@mmcgahn5948u should leave the comments to an educated listener. Bill's voice is uniquely soulful, with an edge. & he's aging. How will you sing @ 70+?

Wasted his time with chicago..he deserves more attention

[@Williamgarity]

Always said Chicago was his Day Job.

[@lamarravery4094]

Some of his songs from Chicago never were released as singles and they would've been hits if they were. One song in particular, I Believe from Chicago 18 would've been a hit for sure.

@@bradlyscotunes9156 You beat me. I was in Marin till '76. Saw The Sons at Marin Civic in '75. There's an official bootleg of it. Was officially the best concert I had ever seen in my life up till that point (and still one of the best).

[@andrekunkel1520]

Hey! Where’s the “over singing” we got so used to hearing when he was with Chicago? Alpha males like Bill Champlin or Peter Cetera have no extra room on stage to share. That’s just the way it is. I feel a little sorry for Jason Scheff who had his lead vocals buried by Champin’s background vocal grandstanding for decades, the poor bastard.

[@bradlyscotunes9156]

You're the poor bstrd who doesn't get what a gift Bill's vocal is ..

[@DirtyOleSoulEntertainment]

Horrible sound man buried his organ solo

[@DudemanSwede]

Ouch!! I was sooo happy to realize that they started out with one of my favorite songs ever - "Keys To The Kingdom", just to get a fat slap in the face by these incredibly ...white, back up musicians. Is it possible to play with more lack of groove? The rhythm section is clinging on to Bill and their f*¤#&*' sheet music. How can we (the listeners) get kicks out of this, when the musicians are TOTALLY stripped from passion? This is music that's supposed to be played with soul, where's the horniness? It's stiff all right, but hardly in their pants. Here's one of the greatest musicians/performers/song composers ever, comes for a visit, and this is what Norway decides to hand him. - If you guys can't pull it off, at least have the courtesy to stay away! Sorry for being very harsh, rough and honest. Bill delivered the goods, big time!

[@jamessonhil5291]

DudemanSwede Sen kan vi väl vara glada att dom spelade ’Keys to the kingdom’ överhuvudtaget. Vad jag vet så är detta den enda existerande live versionen som finns på nätet.

[@bradlyscotunes9156]

It's an Orchestra, fool, sounds

[@bradlyscotunes9156]

Different

[@saxmanager]

Hey Bill......thanks for not blowing out your voice during rehearsals!
