Chicago the Band - Bill Champlin sings Saturday in the Park - 1994

Chicago live in Devon, PA. 8/4/94. Valley Forge Music Fair. From what I have been told, Robert Lamm was at this concert but lost his voice. So in a rarity, Bill Champlin steps in and sings "Saturday in the Park." Amazing performance of a Chicago classic!

There is another recording of Jason Scheff singing "Beginnings" at the same concert. I will also be uploading that one!

Thanks to my new friend on the Chicago Facebook group for providing me with this recording!

a very refreshing change to the jukebox...if I want the jukebox, I can listen to the CD, otherwise this is nice.

Miss Bill being in the band. A legendary voice in rock music.

was wondering two things. Why did Bill leave the band (if he did) and why was he the lead singer on this song? Not saying i don't like this version of the song. The song is awesome! :) Just wondering. Had never read that he's not in Chicago anymore

@hansumjoe I agree Bill does a great Saturday in the park, I like hearing the old songs refreshed a bit.

Bill rocks and I love hearing him do this song!  The man is a true professional and I love the soul he brought to Chicago for all the years he was a member of the band!
