Chicago featuring Lou Pardini "Look Away" Wallingford, CT - Aug. 6, 2017

[@Gem0674]

Why all the dissing of him? Chicago fans need to realize the members have changed and moved on! Just enjoy listening to their songs and Lou’s a great musician!

[@ashe984]

Mary Kelley-Vaughn IKR why all the hate I agree people should just listen and enjoy the music

[@peninahkitty]

As far as I'm concerned he is the best since Terry Kath. I just saw them 4 months ago .

[@PatrickClarkUW86]

Yup enjoy the music and each rendition brings something new, fun and incredible.

[@iansimpson119]

I like the fact that James Pankow has written a horn arrangement into this tune. It's made it a true "Chicago" song.

[@horacecomegna335]

Pankow is an awesome horn composer and has written some good hits!

[@joshuaarcilla6211]

One of the greatest keyboard/vocal voices of Chicago from 2009-2022……Lou Pardini I remember when we were at one of the shows of the band alongside EWF, Doobies, & REO Speedwagon in LA & Irvine…….that was a blast that this great voice of him has powerful music of Chicago songs in a row…….like Dialogue, Ballet For A Girl In Buchannon, Hard Habit to Break, You’re The Inspiration, I’m A Man, Hard To Say I’m Sorry /Get Away, Free…… That was the last I saw Lou was @ Irvine Fivepoint Amphitheatre when REO Speedwagon w/ Michael Tolcher before him and Keith left the band in 2021 and 2022 previously……..as Tony Obrohta & Loren Gold replaced them

[@anjinghitam8141]

Its hard to replacing a band member especially a great talent like Bill. Remember when Jason replace Peter. But now, Lou is a perfect guy. Cant wait some new Chicago music with Lou. Keep up !

[@brucemoeller]

I saw him perform a couple times...and clearly....the guy has the chops to play and sing anywhere. His heart is in it, too. No feigned stuff. I admire his talent.....

[@djmegamase7590]

Lou Pardini was fabulous in concert. Just glad they are still giving us the concerts. I like Champlin as well.

[@Gem0674]

Pardini is a great singer.

[@cuzzindave]

Totally did this justice!

[@acomegna]

Wow, just wow! Awesome!

[@dominikberner5568]

What a beautiful song. It reminds me how difficult to understand Love can be. Lou Pardini has a strong voice here and is perfect for this song.

[@melaniehazen5959]

Love this man!

[@alexandrameganco8104]

I like his version he can hit the high notes of the song.

[@rabijohnguzman7575]

I love this song

[@Ron-fq2sn]

Very nice voice and awesome song 👍😀😀

[@user-ey7jo8cz1o]

Great job Louie !!! I will always remember 1971 and 72.You in the practice rooms at Fresno City College giving those old pianos a workout.You were also such a wonderful musician and person.I am proud of you and all of your accomplishments.

[@adriandimaranan4806]

One of the best in the industry👍

Bill Champlin version blew this away.

LOVEING LOUS VOICE JUST FABULOUS PERFORMERS OMG

[@williamlobur6181]

off the charts performance 👌🏻

[@dianadonahue9354]

I grew up on Chicago..Lou does a great tribute and is a wonderful musician. I knew him in LA

[@horacecomegna335]

This guy is good and Uber talented!

[@birgitwest143]

Sad day today, hearing that Lou Pardini is leaving the band. He was one of my favorites. Amazing voice, passion, and sensitivity. I loved what he brought to the band. He will be missed. Won't be the same without him at the March concert that we have tickets for.

[@joshuaarcilla6211]

Loren Gold is now the official replacement

[@bliss1642]

Although I love Bill Champlin, Pardini still sings almost/just as good as him! Can't wait to see them live in July

[@OgnyanNachev]

Go, Lou, you are great!

[@33lviana]

Amazing performance by Lou Pardini ❤️👍

[@ladyduchezz4239]

The cutest and best looking in the group....

[@lired70]

The best looking and most talented is Robert Lamm!

[@bettyrocco3021]

@@lired70 Keith the cutest

[@ladyduchezz4239]

With a guy of his looks.. who needs voice??? He is luckier than lucky bcoz he can even sing...and his piano skill is heavenly..

[@ashe984]

Hairam Krisse Ogdan IKR he is amazing on piano

[@_EveryStepofTheWay]

Insane. Amazing.

[@33lviana]

The piano intro is haunting..

[@Txdcblues]

Wow this is great! So glad they didn’t kick this song to the curb cuz of their hatred of Champlin, they built on it!

[@robertbdesmond]

Lou is great. But Bill Champlin is MISSED by us Chicago fans. Bill is such a hard habit to break.

[@Gem0674]

robertbdesmond absolutely he’s done a lot in recent years: check out his latest music - CWF 1 and CWF 2 plus Bleeding Secrets. All new stuff and you’re gonna love it. Checkout Bill & Tamara Champlin Fan Group on Facebook.

[@Robin-xt7yo]

The Bill Champlin - Dawayne Bailey era was the best post-Terry Kath era IMHO. They brought a fresh energy to the band.

[@lindaloe]

Lou Is Great At This 🎵 Song!!

[@sarahrowe4396]

Derrick Whitt said, "Sorry but Bill Champlin had the voice and soul to sing this. On top of it all and most importantly...no Peter Cetera. Nothing against Jason Scheff or Jeff Coffey, but Chicago can't replace Peter's voice regardless as to what the band gets to sing songs Peter can still belt out.

[@MysticFranz]

But I like that Lou isn't over-singing, unlike Bill Champlin.

[@avlisk]

"Strangling a goose" is how someone described Champlin's singing on another Chicago video.

[@joshuaecht]

He has an amazing voice. But his shirt reminds me of those optical illusion puzzle things I did when I was a kid--actually, back around the time this came out ('88). ;)

[@sherwintrinidad2885]

daming mong hanash.. baklang to...

[@ashe984]

Joshua Echt his voice is amazing

[@ladyduchezz4239]

Voice and looks...I love this guy...I watch this video before I sleep because it is him and not champlin

[@Piero9551]

Nothing far as yesterday ; how we miss the original team band

[@peevee605]

The band Europe was first offered this hit song that Diane Warren wrote but Joey Tempest refused to use it. After Ron Nevison had finished the album with Europe, he went on to produce Chicago and brought the song with him to Bill Champlin. Case closed.

[@thinblueline1903]

Great Job !

[@daviderlebach174]

Hello Chicago I'm wearing your hat 50 hoping to get well to see you this summer with my 2 aWESOME sisters who took me last year in MH. Miss you all tAke care n have fun love Dave Moe Moon

[@truenorther]

Chicago Rock like Montreal!

[@YbarrasMind]

4:53 nice

[@kehillathaderechyhvh6030]

Bill Champlin nails this song so I prefer Bill over Lou...but the biggest element missing in Chicago is Peter Cetera.

[@nitkoffsky]

Many "Chicago" fans think that there is no difference between Classic Coke and New Coke. Enough said.

[@RCGoetzke]

There is as big a difference as there was in those two colas.

[@keelanp53]

Fucking awesome!!!!!!!

[@jeremyjohnson7747]

Solid.

[@jerryfeigelson4728]

nicely done

[@grantgoff10sc8]

Bill Champlin is still the man tho

[@Jodie383T]

Jeff is singing a bit high for me, but damn I miss Lou

[@MysticFranz]

I will always associate this song with Bill Champlin. Even if sometimes he looked constipated while singing this, he's still the best. Sorry, Lou. But when Champlin and Scheff left the band, I couldn't listen to Chicago songs anymore. They were the members in my generation.

[@paulmiller3885]

I agree France but still follow Chicago but better with Bill and Jason

[@paulmiller3885]

Totally agree but still luv Robert Lamm. In what way did they treat Dawayne Bailey bad? I have got all Bills and Robert solo albums and will get Jason's new album

[@jerome_morrow]

Same here. When Peter left, it was tough to take. Jeff was capable, even though no where near as good and consistent live as the legendary PC. Once Jeff and Bill went, that was a bridge too far and I stopped following Chicago.

[@keelanp53]

I love this guy! So better than Champlin!

[@gregpitt4481]

keelanp53 you have no idea what you’re talking about and you don’t have an ear for soul or good music. The present Chicago is a joke! #CoverBand

[@stallion2561]

there's no sense in comparing bill champlin with lou pardini. both are amazing vocalists in their own rights and have totally different techniques. so i'mma register my dissent respectfully.

[@DonTorrez]

No. no he is not.

[@TheJldef]

Bill sound like much Rock/AOR , Lou sound like much Ballad romantic Just no like of the end, with horns, sound bad, but... Eletric guitar sound much better in the end

[@tuckerlane7995]

@@gregpitt4481 do you have an eye or soul food good music?

This is OK, Jason Scheff is OK singing this on his new album but prefer Bill as a massive fan of his music.

Respect Lou...but......he aint Bill Champlin.....

[@sandrajohnson2489]

I love Lou Pardini and think he's incredibly talented. It's just my opinion of course but I think he would do well with an eyelid lift. He's cute as he can be but I would like to see his eyes opened more.

[@Gem0674]

sandra johnson then turn out like other botched celebrities?

[@b1869]

This guy is no Bill Champlin, who wrote this song.

[@asheard23]

Bill Champlin didn't write this song-- Diane Warren did.

[@eileenluvsdod]

​@@asheard23 technically dianne warren didn't a 14 yr old brendan from the u.k won a emi contest with this song, because he lived in the u.k he never heard it until a few years ago when he got a 2 month apple music trial, he came across it and thought to himself this sounds familar, he has a video on youtube showing the similarites to the one he wrote

[@craignelson1478]

Good version but miss original singer Bill Chamlain

[@RCGoetzke]

The only thing good about this song is it doesn't have any horns, so you don't have to see James Pankow prance around the stage.

Until the end...

Do I hear boos here?

[@frankholtz1691]

This dude is an epic bum. Bill champlin is the goat of Chicago

[@wedowebstuff]

Chicago is distancing itself from the 80’s and the great members who carried them through their most successful decade. They have not had any impact in music since the 80’s. This is like watching a cover band. Great musicians but not Chicago.

[@PlanetSidewinder]

If they degrade any more they'll be able to play proms. Cetera, Scheff, Champlin... once those names stopped as far as Chicago was concerned, so did I.

[@dustingriffith4725]

He does a adequate job but JUST SING THE SONG THE WAY IT WAS WRITTEN!! ALL OF THE MARIAH CAREY RUNS WERE NOT NEEDED...HE LOSSESTHE MELODY A COUPLE TIMES TOO..

[@gregpitt4481]

I’m sure Lou is a good guy, but his performance of Look Away is a joke. No one comes close to Bill Champlin

[@thomasprovidenti8331]

Shows u how much u know about music. Maybe Champlin 20 years ago, def not now. He's a stiff now. Pardini is waaaaayyyyyyy better at this point in time.

[@b1869]

Yes, a bad joke

[@chevynation2494]

Greg Pitt you are fucking stupid. you couldnt even hold Lou's jock. You're a real miserable guy if you think this is a joke. Move along, bud.

I don't think he can sing at all
