earth, wind & fire/chicago @ the greek theatre uc berkeley...


On Friday night.

The Greek Theatre is one of my favorite venues to view a concert. I just haven't been there for years...

Earth, Wind & Fire is my favorite group of all-time. And I haven't seen them in concert for many years...

EW&F are celebrating their 40th year together.

Without Maurice White, who hasn't toured with the group for nearly 15 years due to Parkinson's disease, the group really isn't the same. His vocals made songs like "Can't Hide Love" pop.

Lead singer Philip Baily is great with the falsetto based songs, but when he tries to sing Maurice's songs, it doesn't have the same impact...

The combination of Chicago with EW&F made such an entertaining concert. Chicago has a ton of hits and their famous horn section was tight and in sync. Ex-lead singer Peter Cetera is missed, but his replacement is quite competent.

If anyone is in Tahoe this evening, do catch the Earth, Wind & Fire/Chicago concert outdoors @ Harvey's...
