Maurice White was/is such an outstanding song writer.  I'm always so focused on the instrumentation of their songs, that I often over look how great of a song writer he is

[pim1234]

Bin to two of these concerts in The Netherlands back then...great times ...great band ...

[snucke62a]

TERRIFIC!!

Those of you who, like me, worked as a DJ at that time - do you remember that almost all artists and record companies in the Soul/Funk/Dance-genre were eagerly waiting for the next EWF-LP/12":s to see in what direction the genre would take. THAT is how big EWF were back then! :o)

[yesyes23]

Epic 

[ladiespiritVJ]

I wonder where majority of the band is cause only 3 show their faces now

[kaipher]

....can I have a 10th of this creativity?

[radiojmaster1]

On adore ;-)

[meldrian]

[MJRookieRook]

One of the best song ever written :D

[tanagoro56]

This song

Live in Japan opening 10yeays ago in budoukan Im lisning!

[zetgpz1964]

Si seulement je pouvais voyager dans le temps pour pouvoir être à ce concert.

Love EWF.

[Yoshyaes]

i think the second trumpet went flat on the second note in the run at 2:49-2:50. i still love this song though and wish i could see EWF live

[MrKiddo898989]

Oh, this is Earth Wind & Fire... huh

[harikur86]

Classic & Greatest song from EWF !

Always like the beat and passion in the song.

[quiklt1]

Now this is MUSIC !!!

[1989pulsar]

I got this concert on DVD

[zaodizao]

Sick music I 've been enjoying for over 25 years and still totally tripping the talent & genius of these mad musicians

[jarredm100]

This song is awesome



[0ChildStar]

This was before my time but, I love music with real messages.

[xXJoshxXLKSXx]

We are playing these sInge in our field show and man are the fun and amazing !

[Davyjones1995]

I'm a sophomore in high school, 15 years old.

I play tuba in band.

The school band used to play In The Stone but retired the piece before I arrived. I dug around and finally uncovered a lost copy. At every break we have in rehearsals I will pull out this song and play my heart out, because I know, someday, we will play the piece again, and it will bring the house down.

It's written in the stone.

[chrissy81981]

@Davyjones1995 You go! Yeah there are songs that are just meant to be played.... not retired. When I was in high school band back in 1995, I wrote the music for "Tusk" by Fleetwood Mac for the marching band because I loved it so much. Unfortunately, the band was young and it didn't really catch on. :-/ But I totally hear you.

[Bravebird23]

I remember when Visions (a Philadelphia show) use to have this as their intro/theme music.

[XMAN4708]

REAL MUSIC ! REAL FEELING! REAL PASSION! REAL BAND!

[SeaBeast92]

thumbs up if you like the black guy XD

[benwood85]

Nothing like a TRUE BAND, love this!

[MrFishtaco567]

Not being racist, they need a black guitarist, the white dude can't dance for shit. This is coming from a white guy.

[PrescienceProduction]

@MrFishtaco567 - He may not be able to dance BUT Roland Bautista is one of the baddest guitar players who was an original member of Earth Wind & Fire.

[JeffNorox]

at 1:40 Verdine White has his hand up but the bass is still playing... always knew it was recorded, Verdine is just not a good enough bass player.

[MrFishtaco567]

@JeffNorox Perhaps hitting the strings hard enough to sound them...

[TheAidan44]

my 7 yr old son RATES this! (i do have it on repeat in the car to be fair) long live ewf!

[Mokch64]

[thiagovaldina]

A Melhor Banda Do Mundo!!!!



[dieeser]

THIS IS FUCKING AWESOME!

[bkj42]

This song could very easily be considered their best ever!

[MrFishtaco567]

@bkj42 Fuck that, THE best song ever!

[macsaadiq]

Passion is written In the Stone. Energy is written In the Stone. Inspiration is written In the Stone. God bless EWF for all the spirits they've lifted; for all the times when they've strengthened our souls and made it easier for us to awaken with a song in our heart and put a beat in our feet. Earth, Wind, and Fire is written In the Stone!

[treythedrummer1]

any tips for a guy doing the drum part Friday?

[thebestmorten1]

on of the best songs ever

[mikev1952]

truly a great concert..one of the best i ever seen

[AprilStanley1]

I saw them live back in the day. Looked just like this . They began the show walking out of the " Mothership". One of the best live shows I have every seen. Great band!

[70SULACO]

É A MELHOR BANDA FUNK DO PLANETA!!!!!! NÃO TEM PRA NINGUÉM!!!! OUÇO ESSA MÚSICA DESDE OS 9 ANOS DE IDADE. PRA QUEM NÃO SABE O EWF INFLUENCIOU BANDAS COMO LEVEL 42. E, OS 2 PRIMEIROS DISCOS DO LEVEL 42 FORAM PRODUZIDOS POR MAURICE E VERDINE WHITE.

[leokev65]

As I remember, this song was actually on the B-side of the 45. Can't remember what was on the A-side anymore.

[7Calypso]

Thank you for posting this...it bring back good memories!

[Quantanthead]

I'm a slow white guy who couldn't dance if my life depended upon it. EWF and songs like this or September just make me dance inside. Long live Earth, Wind and Fire. This is music people.

[Liverpoolego60]

Wow!

[Liverpoolego60]

Out of this world!

[mrtlc666]

REAL MUSIC PEOPLE  TAKE NOTE........OSIRIS

[thebestmorten1]

i love this song and i like to play it

[50pinkpearls]

this was the jam at Texas Southern University-Lanier hall for women!!!AKA!!! of course

[Chrthom92]

@TheMysteryTale and you say this is your favorite group hmm? I seriously doubt that, I read this comment before, or something similar to this one. No other band couldn't duplicated the energy that EWF put into their concerts. Like Verdine White said in the documentary people couldn't believe a Black band was capable of this great!!!!

[TheMysteryTale]

It's définately my favourite group forever.. But hey.. They can't fool me With their pre recordings stuff! They did full of vocal pre recordings for the colliseum concerts.. That's really noticeable of you listen and Watch close and carefully : That's really a bad thing. They did this to Keep a dynamic and because They focussed their show on choregraphy and whatever else.. But really you Hear double Maurice White and harmony vocals which fade out or even visually unsung whereas you Can hear Tha

[dansaghin1]

@TheMysteryTale

You are right...still, the bass part seems to be played live, done by another bassplayer backstage...one that does`n`t move that much :))

Nevertheless, my favorite band ever.

[MESDRUMANDLYRE21]

this group was so great marvelous

[LaMonicaD]

Someone got me this DVD for my birthday, one year. It was one of the best birthday presents ever.  EWF is the best band ever.

[olafotosnaps]

Anyone aware of Maurice's state of health of late?

[funkysouldancer1]

@olafotosnaps >>Maurice White has a myspace page...... ...looks like he logged in recently and all the info on what he's doing now is there..give him a shout..he is a very nice man..so is Philip Bailey too..just google his myspace page

[smittycal]

I was commenting on the wrong video my fault. I found a vid with Chicago and EWF and Maurice was no where to be found. I was wondering why he wasnt on stage/tour. Sorry for any confusion.

[emmettk]

@smittycal Maurice suffers the effects of Parkinson's disease and no longer tours. He continues to write and produce.

[chucku00]

@emmettk Love can be written in the stone but life is often written in the shit...

[Psolara]

Words for me cannot describe the greatness of this band.

[cruzer0322]

They don't make em like this anymore ! Kanye my ass

[smittycal]

Ummm Wheres Maurice?

[FIGHTSEEN]

@smittycal

He's the LEAD SINGER.

[smittycal]

@FIGHTSEEN Then why isnt he singing this song with everyone?

[PrescienceProduction]

@smittycal - Maurice White IS singing lead on this song. He's the one at the front with the mike. Philip Bailey is the other lead singer - he is playing bongo drums on this track. Maurice started Earth, Wind and Fire. Peace.

[jessedickinson]

A MUSICA DO PORTÃO DA ESPERANÇA!!! HAUHAUHAUHAU

[chrizdean]

This has to be one of the all time greatest clips I´ve seen here on YouTube!!!

[GoldenCreekValleyRR]

shweaty guy

[Tendertrak]

They are unique, that's what makes them special. They have their own sound, like most successful bands.

[chrizdean]

They were so ahead of their times in terms of sound quality. Imagine what all this technology costs, but I guess they could afford it. Very few conserts from the seventies ever sounded this good. Elvis´s conserts certanly don´t. I know it´s probably been enhanced here on youtube but it only sounds this good because the source is so good. I have a CD with Queen from 1986 from Wembley and it doesn´t sound half as good as this and nor does my Michael Jackson dvd-concert from Japan in 1987.

[nagyember69]

A LEGNAGYOBB zene a világon!!!!!!! 90es évek eleje, Balatonalmádi Club Panoráma

[heelsfantim]

AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME!!! One of the BEST bands of all time!!!! The sound in unparalleled!!!!

[sassnsoccer]

I love my band, and my band director, because we're playing not only this as part of our show, but we also play September.

YES! EW&F keep playing and never stop!

[MrSactor]

Earth, Wind & Fire Will always be ther greatest band ever assembled. What happened to Maurice? He takes the group to another level..

[CaseyTappy]

@MrSactor

Maurice has Parkinsons disease and stopped performing in 1995 , he still kept writing songs for the band though !

As he was the leading voice , for me EWF never was the same !

[HenryLeGrand]

die Musik ist wirklich genial, aber das sieht arg nach Playback aus...

[sassnsoccer]

@HenryLeGrand Ja, es ist nicht exakt. Die Qualität ist nicht fantastich, aber es ist gut genug. (Bitte, enschuldigung die schlechte Deutsch, lernte ich Deutsch vor zwei Jahren.)

[trainman08]

outstanding!!!!!

[pebblefrog196]

falsetto all the way, bro :)

[Electricninjamonkey]

My band is learning this song. I moved schools though!!! :( And to top it off I couldn't take my instrument with me to my new school because my new school doesn't do band AND my instrument was too expensive to buy ( Bass Clarinet, Like $2000+) DX

[BLAKPEARL69]

love it

[reifsneider]

Cant get enough of this song BABE!

[pinkcin]

Nothing like them since....LOVE THEM!!

[nuarejazz]

[americcianisti]

Yes.....yes.....yesssssss...!

[kcred3]

This is the most dynamic group/band that ever gracecd the stage! Maurice white is a special man and performer. EWF will go down in music history. Their music will live forever. Much Love!

[maderoij]

Unbelievable !  Nice hornsection.

[diveplane]

@maderoij yep , incredible sound coming out those horns , those funk guitar licks amazing. vocals are amazing as well.

[ITetris]

Live sounds so nice =3

[reifsneider]

i wish i could breathe earth wind and fire

[MiniMetheBaNdGeeK]

We're doing Earth, Wind, and Fire for our marching band field show...

and this is DEFINITELY the best song out of them. :)

[Bopsable]

Must get my albums out, forgot how good these guys are.

[Bopsable]

EWF - one of the best - and Maurice looking so good.

[remonbas]

too splendid music！！

mmm???

Look after Maurice White. He shows a strange dance since he appeared. He must have already got the sign of the Parkinson's disease.

[Villagejonesy]

Look at Freddie White's good vibes at around 2:50-2:55. Give Freddie some!

[lmw289]

Could someone tell me the bass player's name? He's friggen awesome!!!!

[BabaStiletto]

@lmw289

 ...Verdine White - he's Maurice White's (lead vocalist) kid brother.

[lmw289]

@BabaStiletto Thank you very much. I'm gonna do more research on this awesome bass player. I'm a bass player myself.

[BabaStiletto]

@lmw289  ...bass, huh? In that case try "Let It Whip" by the Dazz Band. Brace yourself.

[koykoy79]

I love this song. Can't wait to hear it live when I see them tonight. :-)

[jermo6676]

Goddamn!! That reverb on them horns is like pure awesomeness!!

[richiebear1969]

I miss bands like EWF and Chicago with an awesome brass section.

[anacojocariu09]

Maurice so cute !

[zdzbzrz]

Everyone of my niggas havin' fun with their own instruments !

[srspimentel]

Maravilha de música!!!

[iluvideos]

I just found this song recently and i've decided this is my new favorite song

[ivoryrose11]

Earth Wind and Fire brings me back to my high school years. I just loved them then and still do now. What an amazing group and so classy . I love the sax. Wow the videos are great to . What a wonderful time in the 70's.

[bandaveats]

i cant believe that it arrange so awesome.what a performance..

[JOEHAYTER]

Simply the greatest band of all time. The intro to this song is amazing, and the finale is perfection!

[WILLRIV713]

All their concerts were a Musical, true artist if ever there was one....EWF I missed a show in1975 because of a girl wanting to go to a school dance..Swore after that , IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN...

[tanga777]

What a performance!

[AfricanSk8ter]

This is real music

[moestein]

Maurice White-A Gift To Us All-He is The Man!

[Raimundo17Sanlopo]

Muuuuuuuuuuuuuuito bom!!!

[MyBruceh]

does anyone know what dvd this is on

[gferdinandus3]

Earth, Wind & Fire in Concert (1981) You can buy it from a online store like amazon

[1980Triumph]

@MyBruceh

that is the supidest question i have ever seen posted

[dawnhass]

@MyBruceh Its on the Eternal Dance Collection 3 cd collection Awesome!

[MyBruceh]

what dvd is this on?

[ABNormal62]

this is simply...

MUSIC!

great great

[yakkdozalee]

LISTEn 2 these guys, this ensemble is PRICELESS. God bless Maurice White 4 havin the vision, and thank the city of Chicago 4 him,Verdine and Fred.

[skinnerg]

Motley who?

[chiperta]

Earth wind & fire are from another world, there is just something special about them that no other band have got.

[whitebread45]

@chiperta i agree but the band chicago has an awesome horn section and sound too...just my take on it

[Msredhoney720]

@chiperta It's the spiritual element that they have and that they let shine in all of their music. EW&F is the perfect example of a band that is annointed by God to spread unity, positivity, and love to whoever hears their music. Just goes to prove that spirituality is not about religion, but God or whatever you call your higher power can use any medium to spread goodness and love!

[AR4ERaj]

Siply Great!!! On of my favorite group off all time!! Bravo Maurice!!!

[IchBinDerKonig1]

Awesome song...played for Jazz Band. One of my favorite songs to play on Trombone.

[lulu4jc]

every time I hear this song, just lights up my day, no matter how dark it is...love these guys!

[didgeridog2]

best band ever....thx Maurice and crew

[sonolaziapina]

sorry... I wanted to put it up :-)

[Ildiko69]

I grew up on Motley Crue but this is one of my old time favourite tunes!!!!!

[MITOGEN]

Maurice must have sold his soul to the devil to get such an awesome singing voice :)

[decernoify]

And the melodies, the dilightful arrangements, etc. Do you agree my bre'er?

[MITOGEN]

Yes the music is awesome too :)

[pojoelsie]

What a fantastic Band.  No-one to match them today.

[headedsomewhere]

nay shame to.............dont even waste my time listening to the radio any more

unless its an old school channel..

[michaelmyers1371]

maurice white uncool?

how dare you.

and that ain't al mckay, thats johnny and roland.....

[darkmaides]

did some1 actually say Maurice white is NOT cool? thats like saying the sky are not blue..

[headedsomewhere]

right...but some folks are brain dead, and should never speak...cause they aint saying nothing anyway..........that comment about Reese would get you hurt where Im from......nay but i would think about it....stay cool Lady L.

[darkmaides]

@headedsomewhere ye probably, stupid people are always reduced to violence when it comes to intellectual issues, i say fuck it..

[xbanginbananax]

Omg.. im 15 and listening to this haha. We played this for jazz band (:

[bonkers69ful]

LOVELY JOBLY...Tremendous!!

[Aliceinwebland]

LOVE.. written in the stone... I and I word :)

[yrwaxdoll]

Amazing how Maurice White and Al McKay can simultaneously be so un-cool and yet SO DAMN FUNKY.

Also, this made me realize how much I miss real bassists.

[nuarejazz]

N1 band, N1 composition 4 me

[toygnisht]

Verdine and Larry are always incredible--the horns, Maurice--but Verdine,damn!

[cluisol]

LO MAXIMO
