I am 86 yrs. old and have always loved music - the greatest band in my lifetime.
Earth Wind & Fire is the greatest band ever and the music is so powerful. ❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
Maurice Forever ❤️❤️
Best band of all times
Indeed!!!
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
The Chorus vocals are especially bright and sharp. Andy showed off with that badass solo he did.
Best horn section ever backing up a singing group.
Rob, and maybe "Chicago"👍👍
The Greatest group of any genre of all time.
Straight facts
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
Same here…❤
I was on the scene and it was incredible.

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
Phillip bailey. Phenomenal!!!!!!
Phillip Bailey danced so well!
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.
Can't go wrong with this rhythm section. Lord, have mercy...
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.
WOW! 34 years later and I just love this man! ............yyaaYY!
"best band in the world'
thanks to Mr Maurice white;;"
Genius...He created the best feel good music !
Best concert band eveeeer🎤🎤🎤🎼🎷🎷🎷🎼🎺🎺🎺🎼🎸🎸🎸🎼🥁🥁🥁🎼🎹🎹🎹
Maurice White's legacy will never be forgotten. RIP Mr White.
RIP, Maurice White and Andrew Woolfork
Oh my gosh, one of the greatest bands... ever!!!!!!!!
I listened to them growing up. Still the most transformative, amazing band of all time.
Indeed.
The bass riff in the "System Survival" is so cool!
It was written by a bass player! :)
@@donnadee1966 Is the composer "Skylark" the same person who used to play for Doobie Brothers?
Yes, that's him. The one and only Skylark...@@shiraga0516
@@shiraga0516 yes
Best band 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.
Beautiful witness....
OmG, what a Band, fantastic musicians
My favourite band of all times
Thanks my dearest Maurice RIP
These guys have it all...soul...funk...and true God given talent!!
Don't forget, jazz.

@@melvinbenson1255 Absolutely! I was a fan since 1971 when they released Love Is Life. I knew I would be one for life 😉!
Saw them in Italy same year (1990).This was the first song of the show.
Still in love with EWF!!! RIP Maurice White ❤️
That entrance tho 💚💙💜🧡💛
This whole performance was HOT!!!
The power of the music.
Wow, that Maurice pace...ON POINT!!!
Phillip Bailey not only is a great singer but he dances his behind off..he has rhythm.
One of my “Favorite Three Groups” along with Sly Stone and Kool & The Gang 👍🏾👍🏾
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!!!!
What a master piece woahhhhhh i can feel the vibe even if I'm only 20's old

Listen to the drums and the hi-hat, omg

Sony Emory kicking that set bring the power
This is the Mighty Motherfuckin' Earth Wind & Fire!!! The baddest cats on Earth!!!
You can never go wrong with the elements!
NO DOUBT!!!
No doubt about that. The baddest band on the planet.
I IMAGINE THIS LOCUTION FROM THE SHOWMAN. SCREAMING!!!! XD
Those are the elements of the universe, the look pure in those white suits though awesome, my fav group 😀 even though it's 3 left LoL
Verdine White bringing the funk telling his own story reminding everybody the power on the one.
SUPREME VIDEO. SUPREME BAND. SUPREME MUSIC. SUPREME, ABSOLUTELY SUPREME.
oh man, is that cool 😎
Thx EWF for so much joy i had a lifetime long with Your magic music…
"You know, with so many dudes on stage we're NEVER going to all fit all of EW&F into the Mothership in one go. Maybe we'll just make room for the mighty Maurice this time round and tour a few galaxies. We'll come back for the others when they're ready..."
One universe, under a groove, right?
P.S.
Relax! I know that EW&F and Funkadelic have entirely different histories. This comment was inspired by warm thoughts of irony, humour, hope, love, admiration, respect, and a good deal of ♬ Fantasy. :-)
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. 👍🏿
Doesn't get any better! RIP those that are no long among us...pease on earth and in our hearts.
Playing bass while dancing! That's awesome!
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.

Verdine White @ Sadowsky bass NAMM 2017 (Smooth Jazz Family) -- Sandowsky doesn't have signature models for guys that can't play. Nathan East doesn't present awards to bass players that can't play. I'm a lifelong bass player (toured too). VW is one of the masters I listened to a lot.
@@sstrauss415 LOL! He’s a fraud. You are not listening to Verdine White. He isn’t the studio recording artist.
That’s rhythm we all have it💯👍
@@FunkRockGroove You're hilarious. Can't wait to read your book about Bigfoot and the moon landings being a fraud.
THESE DAM BROTHERS CAN SING, DANCE AND ENTERTAIN AND STILL GOING STRONG TODAY 2024
Love Earth Wind n FIRE!!
Yep best band I've ever seen live
Never gets old!!!!
+Apakuki Nayacakalou botox
Haha!
GREAT BAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love Getaway!
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
Love this song...
UNSURPASSABLE!!!
One of songwriter Skylark's best.
That bass line!
Como vacilaban en Japón en los 90's tremendos!! Aquí en chile 2020
I saw this tour when It came to England. Blew my head off!
Morris Pleasure is playing the keyboards. He became the band’s Musical Director for the next 9 years !!
Props to Mo Pleasure. Google him!! The best on the planet, multi-instrumentalist and universally loved musician. Happy Birthday Mo !! 🎂
Charlie Delta 👨✈️🎸🛩️
Love, Love, Love this!!!

This is a classic video..,Maurice White was EWF…but the band and ALL …This is real music….👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻👍🏼❤️❤️❤️🎼🎼🎼💯
Of all time
Lo Máximo EWF Época de Maurice White un genio hecho a la medida musical🎤🎼🌠
I like when Vance Taylor plays that notes
La migliore band del monso, che spettacolo. Mwraviglioso il sax di Andrew Woolfolk. R.I.P
La mejor banda del universo!
MARIACHI ROSARIO ARGENTINA cómo suena esa bata y ese bajo wachoooo
Incredible harmony….voices,movements and instruments!!!
EWF….the best !!!
I just do not understand how Verdine can play so well and dance like that! lol
He's one of the White brothers---Fred, Maurice, Verdine---Earth Wind & Fire Royalty!!!
Laughs....have thought the same for ages....rock on!
That’s because Fraudine White is a show man and not the real bassplayer.
@@FunkRockGroove Are you crazy? Verdine is one of the best in the world.
Kirk Sledge He’s def NOT. I’ve done some serious research, and as a Bassplayer myself, I found out that FRAUDINE White is fake. He doesn’t play the bass real. Not on stage and not on the EW&F albums. Bassplayers will see immediately that some things just doesn’t seem right. His hands movement are not correct with the bassline, his hands positioning are not correct with the tones, he “playes” or better yet mimicks the bassline the same way in each song. His bass demo’s at NAMM are BS, his interviews WITH bass guitar are always the same. He holds his bass, tells theoretic BS about his sounds but never actually play bass during interviews. On stage, there is always a 2nd bassplayer playing the bassline. His bass solo’s are wack and not groovy or funky at all. His solo’s are 3 chords and he keeps repeating it. I’ve seen him on stage dancing and running, but his hands weren’t correct with the bassline. Even the keyboard player play Basslines. Some say EW&F play with a bass track so FRAUDINE can run dance and fix his hair. Try to do some research on your own. EW&F are legends, but FRAUDINE White is fake AF! I play EW&F songs on bass, my hands positioning are way different than FRAUDINE. How the hell can he play every song on the same position?? He’s the legendary mimicking bassplayer. Time to reveal this stupid secret.
A Nossa vida se resume nisso. Em sobreviver. Buscar uma maneira. Encontrar o um Sistema de sobrevivência.
Awesome !!!!
HOLY FUUUUUUUUCK this song man
EWF FOREVER 🎤🎼🎹🎸🎷🎺🥁
