Yes! Never again will there be another band leader as Maurice White. Led with creativity and charisma! Gratitude to God for allowing me to be live during the true Golden Age of R&B!
Wow...these brothers were and still are the Platnium standard. With so many groups in the 70s and 80s, with all respect to the others, they just seemed to be on another level and the fact that they are still playing today is testament to that.
And this is why.... Our generations from the 50's-80's...okay some 90's.... We had GREAT MUSIC! Its hard to listen to the new music when we had musical gods walking among us. . RIL MAURICE WHITE
One of the reasons I love my Black men so passionate and soulful. No other is better. That's just my opinion. I don't really care what people say about my beautiful men. You are blessed and that is something people would hate you for. I love you all thank the heavens for making the Black man. *fangirling*
What a trite and racist comment Jasmine. EW&F spent their whole lives and music on breaking down racial barriers and you've just put them right back up. It's only when you realise that we're all homo sapiens and that there is no difference between colours or geographic location, will racism became a sad fact of history which is rightly derided.
#Pezzab5 Choose your words carefully because what I wrote is not a bit of racist. I'm just showing my appreciation and love for Black men how could that be racist. Stop twisting my words of adoration for something that you believe is racist. I don't shun people for loving their own people and culture. I love all men. All men no matter the color or location. I've never said once I despise any other men than Black men. If you feel hurt because I didn't write sweet words to about men other than Black men that is your problem not mine. Please enjoy the video that's why I came here for not to start a race problem.
Jasmine Alexander You're the one that should pay attention to what you wrote: "No other is better". Putting one group of people above another based on the colour of their skin is worthy of the highest ideals of ignorant fascists and other dimwits. You've let yourself down Jasmine with your own comments.
Right on.... this call was the last of the last of good music... the eighties was the last decade.... of good music.. good style of dressing... music died after the 80's...
That's why I can't go watch Earth Wind & Fire any more...this is how I remember seeing them back then...and while they are good now...it ain't the same without Mo!
Went to college with Maurice White at the Chgo. Conservatory of Music and hung out with the group in the late 1970's. Their music is an inspiration that will live eternal.
You know I grew up at eight since I was eight years old listening to tube music on the radio and I’m Italian. I worked in an Italian bakery in Erwin wind fire like just blew my mind when they started hitting all these 40 records like 20 in a row is crazy actually not like probably the late 70s when they really started rolling.
I’m listening to him right now watching our country get deteriorated and I wish that we could get Detroit and Chicago back on track. There’s no reason for all these people to suffer like this and we would love to see the soul music back again because I love it.
Drove for a small limo company in LA in early 80s. Had a call in AM to rest all day and pick-up Earth Wind and Fire at 5P in Beverly Hills taking them to the Forum. Maurice sat up front with me. Immediately liked them...When we got to Forum and through the tunnel near dressing rooms they invited me to watch rehearsal. By concert time they arranged a very good seat...Afterwards they wanted to go to a special restaurant they knew about. I was invited to have dinner with them. A truly magical evening with very special men..Thank you Earth Wind and Fire🌠. The special energy still resonates.
If you were a concert goers in the 70's,and you didn't see their live concerts, you missed out on the best band in the land, they put on a awesome show, true talent, true musicians
Earth, Wind, And Fire......The BEST BAND🗣🎺🎵🎼🪘🎶📯🎷 in The LAND, Nobody in 2023 Will Ever Come Close. Rest In Peace🙏🏾 Mr. Maurice White, Thank🙏🏾You for Blessing Us with Your Beautiful Music.
I am and always will be the biggest fan of earth wind and fire 🔥 love them so much you are missed Mr.maurice white alone with all the other members of the original group 🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️❤️
Maurice, I can party in my seat! I can get the groove seating down! The Party started when the first note played! Earth Wind & Fire are the best! June 21, 2022.
Yeah, I graduated 1968 and it just blows my mind. I had a friend of mine that it was in cooking school next-door. I was in the baking class and he had a soul man I mean, you could never replace soul music or sexy Groovin music like this.
Maurice and EWF brought people, music, love,friendship and so much more together in happiness. What we need today is that kind of love, joy, and spirit again. People had a closeness and personal experience with each other then. Thats missing today. Technology and so called social media cant do it. Peace everyone. Right on Marice!!!!👍✌️❤️🎶☮️🎺🎸
R.I.P. Maurice White. When I listen to your music , my memories go back to all the beautiful, funny and really great memories at that time. Thank you Maurice .
I was so blessed growing up in the 70s and becoming a young adult in the 80’s-We had the best bands and music -I can’t “feel” soulfully music made today like I did back in the day!
This was a serious group...wow. The acapella - wow! This is live??? Sounds like they are in the studio. This group should have won many many more Grammys.
You have never seen a live show until you had witness EWF on stage. This was a BAND that could rival any orchestra and with the VOCALS that could rival any singing group.. The complete package . They gave you something to move to, something to grove to, something to sing to and for those that could do none of that something to watch.. All put together by one of musics most talented field generals .. There's a bigger band waiting for you my brother RIP Maurice, Sing a Song
@@heatherholyland1338 Heather, how blessed were we to have the music that we had. I'm so glad I grew up in those days A number of years ago, I saw E.,W. F with Chicago ( my 7th time ) If you haven't seen them, you must. I am kinda bragging. But I just have to tell you.. The original lead singer, I believe it was Maurice saw me dancing in the audience and had one of his roadies come and get me to go on stage. I floated out of there that night. I danced up a storm. What a memory... Thanks for listening. Go see Chicago, great band, tons of great songs. 🙏🇺🇸♥️
They play thire music so effortlessly, it sounds like a recorded album. Its a a clear example of a group of people becoming one, beautiful. Thank you Earth Wind and Fire for my childhood memories. 📷
In my 50's now but fell in love with there sound in my teens. Just makes me feel good. EWF! RIP Maurice White. Phillip Bailey was at the peak of his powers here.
The instruments playing shows REAL talent. IT was just a magical time for me, growing up. Im 56 YEARS old. Memories of "EARTH WIND AND FIRE" R FOREVER WITH ME 🙏. 👑🎤🎶🎵👍💯❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Love it! Music created by mature and enlighten black men. The orchestration is complex and light years beyond today's hip hop. EWF is not old school, it is unchallenged even by today's standards.
OMG THAT ENTRY TO ‘That’s Way Of The World’ IS ELECTRIC! That’s the way I’m going to walk into any room from notes on ♥️ Earth Wind and Fire. Ingredients for positive energy. If you ain’t dancing to this, you ain’t living. EWF ALL DAY & NIGHT!!!Thank you Maurice♥️ Thank You Earth Wind and Fire 🔥
Saw them perform in their prime in the early-70s. Prior to this tour, they had consulted with David Copperfield because they wanted to add magical and mystical content and effects to their performances. OMG! Fifty years later, that concert is still fresh in my mind!!!
I saw them at the Charlotte Coliseum in 75 or 76 while in college and I was on the floor and they did something that made the crowd fall back like a wave done at football games; it was too awesome!!! I bought a marracco and danced until I got tired and went to my assigned seat and jammed from there. I will never forget this concert bc the O'Jays and Natalie Cole performed too but E,W&F headlined the show. But you can't imagine how good that show was?!!! It was worth more than the money I paid for it!!! This was a time when all people wanted to do was be kind to one another and have fun. I had a boss outfit too.
@@LeannaMiller-o6z If u saw them in '75, then you went to the 'Gratitude' show (the concert tour that the live album 'Gratitude' was recorded from). You would know it because that was the show whereas Verdine White went airborne on bass during the playing of 'New World Symphony'. Otherwise, in '76 the tour presented 'Getaway' as the last song as they had released it earlier that summer.
The Best group of ALL TIME!!! I was blessed to have seen them perform at Madison Square Garden back in the 70s' They came down off of a Pyramid Space Ship. The Gods were in the House that night! Will never forget
TheSilvermoon819 Im 25 years old and I had to honor to witness this live over the weekend at north sea jazz festival! I will never forget that moment they did devotion. R.I.P Maurice White! Thank you for leaving behind a beautifull legacy that still (in 2018) knows how to bring a whole crowd to sing along and share the LOVE!
TheSilvermoon819 I saw that concert you talking about at Madison square garden, and they did several at Madison square Garden 1979 do you remember David copper field. He did alot of EW&F magic.
best group in the business.. love my cousin phillip bailey... his parents were great best friends with my grandparents.. had once chance to meet him and they did not take me.. sad.. but i still jam out to them always the three elements. earth,wind and fire......
Only ever heard the albums played them on on my stereo hooked thru my dad's fender amp DEVOTIONS...REASONS.....and everything else.... lol..I'm 60 and my grandchildren can't believe they are seeing and hearing real voices seeing real musicians real music 😭😭😭 I miss this kind of real music
Well the truth is they were doing mili vanilla before mili vanilla.. pre recorded shows with live lead vocals on top..solos are live.. background vocals all pre recorded..don't ask me how I know. It's about the entertainment..
@@tbur6470 To throw in the Mili Vanilla as you called them [Milli Vanilli ] comparison is an insult to these really talented brothers. As a 70,80 musician my self that covered all of these tunes- I can tell you that *95%* of the groups did recorded assisted live shows. The difference here was unlike Milli Vanilli *ALL* of the voices & instrumentation was *EARTH WIND & FIRE* Ask me how I know
Deneen Sol I'm not a weak person, but I think that you have navigated to one of my strongest areas (or weakest areas if you are planning to use it against me) which is music, particularly the music posts that you are sharing today. I love it all! I am who I am today because of music I am. Good music is love. I'm just going to +1everything that you have posted that defines me and pretty much all of us who love music ..peace..love and..Sooooooul...

Yes he was all that an more the force behind one of greatest bands in my life time(2024)
esta é simplesmente à maior banda negra do mundo
la mejor banda de la historia jamas existira otra y la mejor voz philip bailey
Right on.... this call was the last of the last of good music... the eighties was the last decade.... of good music.. good style of dressing... music died after the 80's...
Ainda temos essas dádivas para ouvirmos!!!
Doesn't get better than this.
It’s amazing how Phillip said he trained himself how to hit those notes.

Who decided to. Crease the tempo of this.
You should be ashamed
I've seen Earth Wind & Fire in person three times they put on the absolute best shows. And you cannot sit still at their concerts no way Jose. 💃
Can't stop the stream of tears whenever I hear Keep Your Head to the Sky! My body just tingles. That song does something to my very soul!!
No Circus, No Acrobats, No computers, No Fake sounds of instruments or voices. Only Class, splendid voices with great lyrics and Soul. Real Music.
Maurice, I can party in my seat! I can get the groove seating down! The Party started when the first note played! Earth Wind & Fire are the best! June 21, 2022.
This took me all the way back to my senior year of high school, class of 1976. Thanks for the great memories.
Oh thank heaven for "77" for me. We stayed inspired by this music. 🎉
Class of 77’ here🙋🏽♀️💕

Philip Bailey is one of the most underrated singers, his vocal range Jesus Christ
He's not underrated at all. The industry knows his abilities. You may be late to the game and genre.
He is a treasure. As is all EW&F.
...I seen this exact show they put on the best show I've ever seen, especially with those theatrics
SIMPLY PUT HE WAS THE VOICE!!!!@@michaelwhite5606
Philip Bailey was never underrated as a matter of fact he's one of the reasons fans go to see them, to see if he could hit those high notes " Live"
Go Mr. Johnnie Graham! Maestro Maurice White...Always! Mr. Don Myric, "you played so beautifully and I agree! Best Band Ever!
"I swear I need a time machine...great music...and good seeing all these 70's generation...as they used to say..RIGHT-ON YALL"
We all have to face it most of our legends are gone smh . Enjoy them while they’re here 2024 n beyond
EW&F is that band you can listen to all day and forget the day passed by.
YES I agree 👍💯

I love me some Earth Wind & Fire.... There'll never be another Maurice he is one of a kind!
AGREE brother
Nan Cazull You got good taste, my friend!
and Verdine White, he's got so much energy, he just dances around while playing bass
Absolutely and Philip Bailey was great
Maurice and EWF brought people, music, love,friendship and so much more together in happiness. What we need today is that kind of love, joy, and spirit again.

He doesn't get his props as a vocalist
Man, that's the absolute truth. These guys are LEGENDS
Well the truth is they were doing mili vanilla before mili vanilla.. pre recorded shows with live lead vocals on top..solos are live.. background vocals all pre recorded..don't ask me how I know. It's about the entertainment..
@@tbur6470 To throw in the Mili Vanilla as you called them [Milli Vanilli ] comparison is an insult to these really talented brothers. As a 70,80 musician my self that covered all of these tunes- I can tell you that *95%* of the groups did recorded assisted live shows. The difference here was unlike Milli Vanilli *ALL* of the voices & instrumentation was *EARTH WIND & FIRE* Ask me how I know
Damn they were good!
Right on! I would like to go! What band is better live! #AFA
it just moves me
newtaurus1 You know it! A Father's anthem...this is so appropriate...
Deneen Sol I'm not a weak person, but I think that you have navigated to one of my strongest areas (or weakest areas if you are planning to use it against me) which is music, particularly the music posts that you are sharing today. I love it all! I am who I am today because of music I am. Good music is love. I'm just going to +1everything that you have posted that defines me and pretty much all of us who love music ..peace..love and..Sooooooul...
LeSpencer Roberts That's so true. Music is universal! Even babies know what to do when they hear it. It's built in...
God is the reason when they found what the reasons were
