Woa ! Great observation ! I just bought my 2nd keypad-flip phone $100.00 / Best Buy; no touch screen, no thumbs going up and down surfing the touch screen; just phone calls, vmail and text. I have THIS HP Chromebook (here, on TH-cam) for when I surf the net', thank you !
Sooo beautiful! Philip Bailey is king of falsetto. EWF was so ahead of their time. Their energy was strong. I’m in my 60s and still get stoked every time I hear them. Miss Maurice very much.
This is an incredible performance.I wonder if the audience knew that they were witnessing one of the all time great live vocal performances by Phillip Bailey..just other worldly..
Just saw him the other night ............ he can still rock that high falsetto!!!! The group was beyond fantastic. A night I’ll never forget .... free in the music, the band, the night. My 30 yr old son was astonished of their performance, we shared such a special event together. 😊 What a phenomenal group. ♥️
CHILDREN OF THE WORLD.........There will never be another group like this!!!!! Real Talent, no cussing,no disrespect, yes fun, happy, real love actually feeling in your soul.....Us, older folks remember .....Love and peace.!!!
As a session musician myself, I have to note that the few cracked notes before the outro vamp of his what we call faux falsetto which is on the majority of the verses is what keeps us on the edge, and makes it a greater performance! He actually hits true falsetto at the end, and my head always explodes with glee!
I just realized Phillips high notes!!!! Dang, simply killer notes, I never heard that before from anyone else but from him. I can hit a high F#, but what he just hit, was a gift from the heavens.
At first I was gonna say Verdeen was the only one that still had it. "Verdeen is a straight up visual of what EWF was all about. Now getting back to what I was saying. ...in the later parts of this vid. My man .Philip Bailey proved that he's still ther. Always was and will always be my favorite group. EWF forever ☝️❤️
Wow! I love this song! I love this crowd (notice the makeup). Why have we changed? We are ONE PEOPLE, ONE COUNTRY! WE ENJOY THE SAME THINGS: SAFETY, JUSTICE, ENJOYMENT OF FREEDOM, LOVE OF GREAT MUSIC! PLEASE LET US COME BACK TOGETHER! NOT FIGHT AGAINST EACH OTHER BUT JOIN WITH EACH OTHER! OUR COUNTRY IS FALLING, ASK YOURSELF WHY.
I was thinking the same thing. The crowd seems to represent a kinder and gentler time in our country--an educated and enlightened electorate. No posturing, no angry expressions, no sinister looking hoodies, no visible tattoos covering the neck and no basketball shorts or ball caps turned backwards. A time when conspiracy theorists and Q-ANON adherents were on the fringe and not worth giving the time of day to.
Omg!!! I just saw them 2 nights ago!! I cannot describe how incredible their performance was! Awesome, amazing & powerful. It was so fabulous to completely be free in their presence as they performed for us! The songs .... the memories of growing up with their music. Their talent is real, pure and God given ... no other band compares ... they are an amazing group. 🔥 🎸🎤🎷🥁
@@totalpkg6912 ... wow 3 hours!! How fortunate! I just saw them 2 nights ago, was 2 hours. It went by so quickly it seemed. I didn’t want it to end. 😢 It was such an amazing concert.
I feel double satisfaction to see one of my favorite bands, Earth, wind and fire playing Fantasy, and in the background on the right to see the flag of my country (Venezuela) waving.
People don't understand how I can like Pantera and Earth, Wind and Fire, AND alot of classical music. You've just got to be able recognize outstanding talent in each form! 🤷♂
Where was l when Earth Wind & Fire performed this classic song "Fantasy?" I guess l was at work in the classroom teaching my students. Thisbis pure joy!!! 🎵
This is true talent at its finest kids. No auto tune, no backing tracks, no drum samples, just great music. Oh by the way, did I mention I'm a 60 year old white guy. Just goes to show you, great music touches us all. Semper Fi and god bless.
I appreciate and agree with this comment, except for the injection of race into it, which I am just sick and tired of. We are all human beings and music is the universal language. Enjoying music cuts across all cultures and being one shade or another does not make possible or prevent that enjoyment. So enjoy it freely!
@@HQBergeron interesting how no one has hit the " thumbs up" on what you said. You are so correct in your analogy. Clearly the words of this song are lost on those who see a world of Me instead of US. "And WE will live together, until the 12th of NEVER, OUR voices will ring FOREVER , AS ONE"
You see you have to remember when you and I were growing up we got to hear all kinds of music played together and I swear those band and groups were the poster child for iron sharpens iron. A great time for all music lovers!!!
Phillip bailey....Classically Trained. Earth Wind and fire.....Chicago West Side!!!!!!! Thank You. I actually met Maurice White when I was 7 Years old in the 60's. What a gentle man he was.
Phillip Bailey has a super-human talent - seen 'em live, twice......just incredible. And how come I'm never just walking down the street when EW&F is jamming on the sidewalk???? What a band, what a band, what a band.....my favorite.
No one better. I can’t even dance during this song. I just stop dead in my tracks in awe of this man’s blessing to us. I am transfixed. Have been for twenty years.
I saw them the other night .... absolutely amazing concert. Fantasy is a huge favorite of mine ... but when they started it, I couldn’t stop dancing. I was singing dancing, hands everywhere .... everyone was, lol. The crowd was so into the moment, as I. It was so amazing to see them sing it! Right there, live in front of me. The entire performance was insanely awesome ~ perfect. It was so wonderful to be captivated by them...their music. Such talent they have .... so blessed.
Phillip Bailey is a true gifted professional with years of experience and a falsetto talent out of this world. He has mastered his craft and no other male artist can even touch this guy in high notes.
@@rjasontwenty1099 Demis Roussos was a great singer, I agree. He was the leader of Aphrodite's Child. He made a career in England but that's in France that he will win the hearts of his fans. He's deceased in Athens, in Greece. A very great artist.
The dream of Maurice White , an his two Co Founders , Phillip Bailey and Verdine White was a legacy of excellence all these years , because today on 2019 , we have the Blessing of continuing to see them on tour and performing. I know Mo the Captain as he was called is in Heaven proud and continuing to receive all the Love of everyone of us their grateful an loyal fans until the end.
spot on, wish folk would use concerts like these to listen and learn as opposed to hopping on to social media and doing the ‘ guess where I am ‘ thing.
One morning in 1995, I was on my way to work at a law firm at 30 Rock. As I was about to enter the building, I heard this song coming from down the street and I stopped in my tracks to listen for a minute because this was one of my favorite E,W,&F songs. Then I realized that they were actually performing the song live. Needless to say, I was a few minutes late that morning. It was awesome. Don't know if this is that performance because I think it's from 1997, I'm told.
I am attending the show in Tampa this Saturday night. My 1st time seeing this group live, and sorry to say that. That voice is triumphet to all ! I know I will love this GIG !!!
What a band and Phillip bailey what a voice and range always love this great group of real musicians and real vocalists this is really Gods gift to us they them
Just look at the audience's faces....says everything....happiness. Vocally and musically outstanding and LIVE too. Never easy to get it right LIVE but these guys NAIL it.
Philip Bailey is extraordinary! The ability to do a live performance like that is so rare. Even if a person can do such vocal feats as Philip does here at all, they often can only do them this flawlessly after many takes in the studio to get a single great one. Doing it live in one shot is just superhuman. Wow!
I was raised on your music and love your stuff to this very day. I'm now 46 and and I love your music and thank you for making my childhood a great one from your music. A+++++++=
this is one of the best live performances I've seen 🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤ to all you youngsters wanting to get into music 🎶 listen to these amazing bands!!!! look at the smiles 😁
SIGNORI E SIGNORE THE "EARTH WIND & FIRE"!!!!!! UNO SPETTACOLO VIVENTE, I MIGLIORI DELL'UNIVERSO!!! LADIES AND GENTLEMEN THE " EARTH WIND & FIRE " !!!!!! A SHOW LIVING , THE BEST OF THE UNIVERSE !!!

GET IT PHILIP BAILEY!!!!!💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿
Se dúvida alguma, o Phillip Bailey é o melhor falsetto da história da música. Todavia, as notar agudas que ele consegue reproduzir é fantástica.
I am so glad I grew up in the time of great music. When it had melody.
Music had a real message
Just listen to the words
I agree with you, Jim.
We grew up at the right time.
God bless.
Young people say “who needs melody when you can say f___k every other line”? It’s so much easier to make a gold record. Melody is so old school.
I agree with jim
...and talent was well, .....talent
Philip Bailey is an American treasure. A one and only. So great 🎤
