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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.

Thx EWF for so much joy i had a lifetime long with Your magic music…
When the music consumes you, it's perfection.
Phillip Bailey danced so well!

Doesn't get any better! RIP those that are no long among us...pease on earth and in our hearts.
The bass riff in the "System Survival" is so cool!
It was written by a bass player! :)
