I wonder if Bill knew that his days with Chicago were numbered at this point... he really brought his A game for both of those shows - on point with the vocals with a contagious level of energy.. great send off for all the Champlin-era Chicago fans.

Watching Champlin and Dwayne Bailey play on stage together in the late 80's/early 90's was magic.You could see how they loved to play together.

So sad the band booted so many people, especially Champlin since he was there so long. Dawayne and Bill blended together magically with their voices and are both amazing soloists!

I feel like a lot of people feel like Bill is a backup singer when you think of Chicago as a whole....that said, many of their songs on the charts in the 80s had him singing lead.

My favorite Champlin/Chicago hit was You're not alone but there was another great song from 19 called Runaround that Bill sang with Jason, that should've been a single. And Bill qrote a song on 18 and sang called I Believe, that could've been another hit.

He had to be begged to join Chicago . He only joined Yount ubecause he loved Jason and they were best friends. He also was a super fan of Bill Champlin.

@@aopabaileyhaha we meet again! Dawayne has one of the most amazing voices along with Bill who could be compared to Willie Nelson. His guitar playing and solos are really something else and he has the mind of Frank Zappa, his playing is a lot to take in just like a Zappa song. Amazing musician and def doesn’t get enough credit!

Bill came at a time when Chicago needed someone to step up and he did, he has alot of talent however the last years with Chicago, he seem to squel and just not stand and sing the song. Some call it jazz style, to carry a long note or jump to a high note and chew it. I just wasnt working for me at the end. He is a true talent, but Chicago allow him to over shadow the other talents in the band. Robert Lamn, Jeff, Lee, Jimmy, and now Lou, are all voices of Chicago. I like it that way.

Big Champlin fan. My only beef with Bill is that he always seems to bore easily when it comes to singing his hits. He just over sings the songs that people love the most. It's too bad. He has one of the greatest vocal tones of all-time. A few licks are fine, but he just over does it.

Chicago is terrible live these days. Most days they have replacement horn guys that play a lot tighter than the originals, who have become pretty sloppy. The vocals are horrendous. Scheff screeches and yells to hit the high notes and the harmonies are sloppier than the horns. Pardini is good, but he's no Champlin...and you spelled both of their names wrong.

I'm not comparing the band now to the band in the 90s, they are kind of just and oldies act at this point. The recent stuff I've seen from them has been pretty good, though. They seem to be trying to recapture that 70s sound when they were at their peak. The 90s stuff with Champlin just sounded like horrible, formulaic soft rock of the worst kind. Not for me at all, I like the original Terry Kath version of the band.
