my only regret is being born too late to witness ewf live with full og core members. being on yt doesnt do ewf justice. i can only imagine the massive energy being there in person
Saw them for the first time in 1977 and it’s STILL the best show I’ve ever seen! Topped only by EWF two years later! Nothing could match the vibe in that room!
Check our Leonid and Friends cover of EWF songs like Fantasy. Their vocals are as close as you'll ever come to experiencing the vocals of OG 1970s era EWF. No disrespect, but EWF over the past 20 years has been has been just a shadow of its former self due to aging and deaths. Still love the OG group. Maybe the best band ever. RIP Maurice
EWF, the baddest band on the planet. I had the great pleasure of seeing them live in 1976, The Spirit Tour, and they blew the roof off the sucker that night. They played for 3 hours, came back out after a 5 minute standing ovation and played for another hour, and everybody was ecstatic.
This is the best band ever. The horn section was always the best in the business. IMHO. 🎺🎷📯🎹🥁🎸🎤🎸. The vocals are top notch. None better than these guys. Everybody say yeah. RIP Maurice and Sheldon, Fred.
Só ouvia algumas músicas mas não quem eram, agora vendo os seus shows noYtube, acho que muitos têm razão em dizer que é a melhor banda do mundo de todos os tempos
Something about Maurice Whites voice. So different. He just had it all. That's a true leader. Phillip Bailey paid good attention. Best 1 two combo ever
I remember when this came out I am not sure if it hit number one but I know video soul played the hell out of it Shut out to all the EWF fans in the universe the baddest band to ever walk the planet earth
Just watched 5 concert clips of EWF from 78 to this one which I think is 91 or 92.....damn. George Clinton created a monster and probably didn't even know it. During an interview Verdine said they opened for Parliament/Funkadelic in the 70's and got blown away,after the show they said " that will NEVER happen again". Reminds me of the cliche a setback is only a set-up for a comeback. Everybody in this group always seemed to be in great physical and mental health. Maurice was one of the BEST band leaders point blank period.
Just listen to the musical parts of the song, great music, and as usual my favorite singer always enjoying himself on stage, he got the moves, that man Philip Bailey can dance.
You can tell - "I'm up here in Earth, Wind and Fire. I am officially the coolest White Man on the Planet." 😂 I think I speak for everyone here when I say, we will all let you have that one. 👍🏿
The best of the best truly great I saw them back in Okland Ca back in the 70th they did Reasons they were bad I wish I could see them again not the same with Mr. White RIP
Because he’s fake. He doesn’t play bass for real. The keyboard player plays bass parts or often there is a 2nd bassplayer playing or they play under a bass track. So Fraudine White can jump, dance, do his hair and run on stage. He’s a stage performer not a Bassplayer.

Saw them back in the day and also they toured with the Commodores...AMAZING...I DON'T CARE WHAT ANYONE SAYS THEY ARE STILL AMAZINB TO THIS DAY...AND SO IS THE COMMODORES...
Dam thy jamming play dem horns boyz yazzzz the best group everrr my fav of all times play dem drums base line on hit vocals yazzZ I live u Maurice miss u Rest In Peace heaven got a great sound up there #classic play it baby 💕💕💕💕💕
I'm sorry, but as a trombonist, that's what I call music, my friends. And my influence as a musician was especially with bands like this. Perfection and total swing! I played in a band with this quality and swing and no one would stand still, but the audience would go wild, go crazy and dance a lot. That was a great world band. They came to Brazil and made and released the song BEIJO here. This great world band is simply wonderful.
Maurice White's legacy will never be forgotten. RIP Mr White.

I am 86 yrs. old and have always loved music - the greatest band in my lifetime.
The voice of Maurice White is unmatched
Ricky Martin you got that right you can never copy Sandy voice
DERN RAHT!
So true. Maurice had a distinctive voice.
Can't go wrong with this rhythm section. Lord, have mercy...
Earth Wind & Fire is the greatest band ever and the music is so powerful. ❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶

The Greatest group of any genre of all time.
Straight facts
Exactly!
Best band of all times
Indeed!!!
RIP, Maurice White and Andrew Woolfork
And Sheldon Reynolds also 🙏
Best horn section ever backing up a singing group.
Rob, and maybe "Chicago"👍👍
The Chorus vocals are especially bright and sharp. Andy showed off with that badass solo he did.

Saw them in Italy same year (1990).This was the first song of the show.
What a master piece woahhhhhh i can feel the vibe even if I'm only 20's old

The bass riff in the "System Survival" is so cool!
It was written by a bass player! :)

@@melvinbenson1255 Absolutely! I was a fan since 1971 when they released Love Is Life. I knew I would be one for life 😉!
Now that I’m about the age the age Maurice was during this concert, I admire the hell out of his stamina.
Wow, that Maurice pace...ON POINT!!!
What the hell was I doing in 1990? Wish I had seen these guys, these guys weren't on my radar back then.

Verdine White bringing the funk telling his own story reminding everybody the power on the one.
When the music consumes you, it's perfection.
Great live versions - the background chords in Getaway added resonance to the song.
Spectacular vocals too.
Morris Pleasure's vibe was an excellent addition.... Thank you guys!!!!
