This is the BEST SHOW BAND EVER!!! PRECISION HORNS, SLIDING DOWN RAMPS, LANDING IN UNISON FOR THE FIRST NOTE! PERCUSSION-BRING IT. TALENT, OVER THE TOP, SONGS THAT ARE TIMELESS, FROM THE HEART WITH LOVE. NO ONE COMES CLOSE. I REMEMBER IT TAKING 45 MINUTES, JUST TO SET-UP THE BANDS EQUIPMENT ON STAGE. THEN BEING BLOWN AWAY!!!! EW&F, ALWAYS LOVE YOUR MUSIC
THUMBS UP if you agree that THE PERCUSSIONS, DRUMS, KEYBOARD, BRASS INSTRUMENTS, GUITAR AND VOICE MIXTURE is the best mixture you've ever heard ! :D . I LOVE EARTH WIND AND FIRE ! <3
I love playing this song in the stands with my Marching Band. Especially since I have the fun parts for most of the time. 2nd chair Trumpet in 1st band :D
@dxarmy94 Maurice suffers from Parkinson's disease and no longer performs. Philip Bailey now does the leads formerly done by Maurice as well as those he has always done.
What a display of talent-the drums, the horns, the keyboards ALL in perfect melody. Throw in the vocals and dancing and OH MY!!!! EWF was one of those immensely talented groups. Todays garbage WILL NOT, CANNOT, even think of touching groups like EWF, Kool and the Gang, The Jets, etc. Lady GagGag, SH!TNEY, KEI$HA are planly a bunch of whores who have to act like sluts to sell records because dumbasses now actually think it is music and will buy them, clueless to what REAL music and talent is!
Yeah, specially the songs entrance its just genius, we are doing a jewish program on tv in my country we wanted the entrance of this song to be the tv shows theme..
They were & will always be the best BAND in the history of music, PERIOD! If you're talking, cord progression, harmonies, musical presentation, musicianship, no one and I mean NO ONE comes close to them. Having said that, without Reese out front, it's a different sound. P.B. is GREAT but, (Phillip and Maurice) together were MAGIC! The closest combination I would compare them to would be Michael and Jermaine Jackson in terms of "greatness" in vocal presentation. Incredible! LOVE 4 EWF!
Tower of Power was a great band but ONLY with Lenny out front. Horns, (ALL the great Bass players) very good BUT I stand by my statement. No 1 compared to EWF. OH MY GOD the live shows in the 70's and 80's. Drums kits spinning around WHILE Ralph and Fred were playing them, Verdine floating upside down, the whole freakin band disappearing, the SOUND, the songs WOW. I love the power bands of the 70's and 80's, but people didn't even REALIZE what they were hearing with EWF it was so great.
And that's Lenny Williams for you youngsters out there.
I can hear it now, "I didn't know Lenny Kravitz was in Tower of Power". And by the way, I knew Kravitz when he was calling himself Romeo Blue (back n the day)
I love ewf. but sometimes they seem unable to pull off their own shit. I'm sure it's because their recordings were perfect. and that's all we've heard for decades. Perfection.
@rodaproductions....yes he does do a great job. This intro, for me, is one of the most difficult ones for a rookie drummer to learn. I learned it once and couldn't get it done a second time.
You know who you're talking about? Verdine White, for xxsake! A living legend of bass! He could drive a car and play a bass at the same time if he wanted to!
el bajo produce una vibración después de pulsar alguna cuerda, eso permite que el sonido permanezca aun si no se esta pulsando la cuerda.... hay bajistas que aun con la mano izquierda pueden producir el sonido de la cuerda y la nota que pisan... hay que ser bajista para saberlo y entender porque Verdine puede mover su cabello en el tiempo 1:32 listoooosss!!!!
@thedartt some claim there's a bassist behind the stage helping him out (containing me and my dad). do you hear the double octaves at 1:32 coming from the bass? how the hell would he do that while flipping his hair?
@progressiphiLe pretty disrespectful to say someone is mic'd up and helping him out. he never misses a note the whole show and yes flips his hair. he can do double octaves just fine alone.
C'EST LE FILM DU DIMANCHE SOIR QUI COMMENCE??
Remember cette petite musique dans les années 80, çà me revient en pleine face!

el bajo produce una vibración después de pulsar alguna cuerda, eso permite que el sonido permanezca aun si no se esta pulsando la cuerda.... hay bajistas que aun con la mano izquierda pueden producir el sonido de la cuerda y la nota que pisan... hay que ser bajista para saberlo y entender porque Verdine puede mover su cabello en el tiempo 1:32 listoooosss!!!!
