Earth, Wind, and Fire

My wife, kids, and I went to see them last night. I was lucky and got 3rd row tickets just left of center stage.

They were SMOKIN'. There are three of the original members and they still had it despite being some old fuckers.

Verdine was killer on the bass and moved like crazy.

Philip Bailey was simply incredible. I never realized how high he could sing! And I mean HIGH! Like Whitney Houston! And he hit some pretty low notes too - not quite Type O Negative though His tone was phenomenal.

All the rest of the vocals were just exceptional

The two guitarists sounded great - they laid down great rhythms, doubled the horns, and had some kick ass solos. Pretty much everyone in the band got several extended solo spots.

They played all of their classic material with some extended jams. They really got the crowd going. They had fantastic energy and were so obviously enjoying themselves. All in all a stellar performance.

Because of my sister I was exposed to alot of different music.
She's 4 yrs older than me and that age difference allowed me to get hip or hear cooler music than what my age crowd was listening.

Ex. At 9yrs old because of my sisters musical interests.
I was listening to Aerosmith, Kiss' first album, Steppenwolf, BTO, Black Oak Arkansas. Whereas, my age group was listening to the David Cassidy and the Partridge family.

Alittle later she got into motown, disco, r&b and the pattern continued.
It was a very cool way to grow up and get exposed to a variety of musical styles throughout my youth.

You mention Earth, Wind and Fire?
Because of my sister, (she really liked them) I became hip to them at an early age. They are tough and very good at the music they do.
They wrote about the real deal feel good change your life love thats missing in todays music. Nobody writes about "good love" anymore everybody is anger these days.

+1 - he brings it - and he's the goofiest looking mutherfucker I've ever seen - might be 10 feet tall and 56 lbs...no shittin' - but when you play bass like THAT, well, you can be as Shawn Bradley as you want to be... :ROTF:
