Earth Wind & Fire - Fantasy (Live 1988)

[nateceable]

THIS BEAT!

[Naiping]

oh man...falsetto all the way. This was the time where the soul of the music was king, and everyone, the band, the singers and dancers worked to take that soul to the heavens.

the biebers beyonces gagas cannot, I repeat can never do this.

[zeldafanatic92]

Good music stands the test of time. So far I think this has held up.

[MrPalamo]

NO TENGO PALABRAS......................­.....

[Maleeee]

Epic "Kill my cat" Crack at 4:00 :)

[AroundTheWaymon]

Just my opinion, I like produced music better than live music!

[vinciuso4ever]

VACCA mr cartoon!

[MrLucas2b]

King of Zamunda

[andrewlbeard]

@MrLucas2b LOLOL , but without this we would all be listening to 9 tracks ... I give it a THUMBS UP !!!

[jgcba2709]

When music were really music!

[wicklowlad53]

astounding

[Bergyhound]

Doe anyboby remember Philip Bailey ? Imust be THAT old ! This music is still timeless. The bar was set high - how high can new music jump?

[foottothenuts]

nice voice crack dude.

[eggrolls]

@foottothenuts: Like to see you hit those notes...almost every day for thirty years.

[foottothenuts]

@eggrolls the band wasn't even around for 30 years when this video was made.

[eggrolls]

@foottothenuts: Fine...for 17 years. Heck, one year. Never criticize someone for not doing something as well as he used to, especially when you could never hope to match him even if your best day was his worst.

[foottothenuts]

@eggrolls Uh yes I could. He's using falsetto, and I can hit soprano C with my head voice.

[kja427]

I guess James Earl Jones is an EWF fan. I must say to him,"Welcome aboard." Yes, I think even he beieves that Maurice and Verdine are a couple of funky White boys. NICE!

[WesleyTimao2011]

everybody hates Chris...ksksksksksk  =]

[weluvaruba]

so right... THIS music, these musicians and the incredible songs will live forever! NOT the crap is constantly churned out every other day to loads of idiots who have no clue what REAL music is!! these days, they make a few bucks then bye bye...next...bye bye..next... EW&F was my first concert, the first i took my kid brother too. i became a musician/songwriter with an incredible internal groove due to EW&F.... loved them as a teen, and never stopped! Bless them all from my heart.

[mrwanphotographer]

Still awesome until now yeah.....!

[poetaycle]

oh my god, this is pure genius, I have always loved this song, but this video is something else!

[rabinalga]

4:00 ROFL

[coffeegirl5912]

EWF = Forever!  The greatest band..I am glad I grew up in this era !!!

[ckonesc]

Im old,65, love EWF, Beatles, Aerosmith,...the list goes on. BUT, this generation does have talent that will be around for yrs to come as well. Peolpe will know and listen to Pink in 40 yrs--an awesome talent. I believe the same for Lady GAGA. She has talent--just a weird way of keeping everyones attention. Emenim, Skylar Gray, P Diddy, like them or not, they have made thier mark, changed music, and will be listened to for yrs into the future.

[RAKALAVIN59]

Does anyone remember when EWF had a girl in the group? If so what was her name?

[SoundElectroJazz]

PEACE

[epicguy44]

AWESOME SONG!!!!!!



[rosecigar]

they are still alive. that means we still have hope. sorry for english

[gianrams]

people are keep saying that in their generation that they are STUCK with "RB,JB,gaga"? ... so those are the only few artists that you LISTEN to... go to other genres...

And EWF, is famous not only in their generation...

[kelsud]

Sencillamente, que Earth, Wind & Fire, me ha marcado una época...y aún estando sueltos, me huelen a ellos...

[jcoyden]

This is what happens when you put people together who know how to read, write and play music. No computer enhanced tracks; just straight old fashioned music composition. This song will still be enjoyable 100 years from now, which makes it just as much as classic as Beethoven and Handel.

[trunks2861]

@jcoyden a very insightful comment. this may be remembered as one of the great western classics.

[kb1gig]

This is what soul is made of. Listen, feel, and enjoy! :-)

[mhn7797]

Who can't love the power packed taste of EWF?

[djnphaze]

@ freein2339 you didn't imagine it its slow.

[freein2339]

Is it me or is the tempo a little slow going into the verse..???

[miskittt]

Philip Bailey looks like the Tin Man. LOL

His voice is only gold!

[bxtx65]

even though there was a slight voice malfunction 4:04 :) this performance is the shiznit..

[odeedudul]

now days auto tunes ruined everything..

[Dennisnl8]

I was born in 1993 and I love this!

[honeygrl07]

@Dennisnl8 me too....and I'm an ewf fanatic!!

[kb1gig]

When you were young and grew up with this, it's hard to not have it any more.

ROCK on EWF! :-)

[FirebrandNIRE]

Gay?

[Darktheus]

4:03 chicken ?

[LordShivaTheDeStroyA]

Bless up

[pandaqlou]

Dum Az...who the f7u2c6K said that it was Hakeem.....dummy

[brilliantos]

Didn't know Eddie Murphy (Akeem) from 'Coming To America' was the lead singer.

[globalwaronpoverty]

@brilliantos That's not Eddie Murphy, that's Phillip Bailey.

[olliemichaelson]

@globalwaronpoverty You've obviously never heard of sarcasm!

[minds0ulfist]

one of the best bands ever. insane drumming. crazy vocals. ewf is the bomb.

[IndigoVanguard]

These are some of the most intensely meaningful lyrics I've come across. Quite timely considering all the networking and activism I've been doing on facebook. Should be on every dreamer's music collection.

[baj7557]

fire that sound man!!! messed up the whole song!

[xavierdebourbonne]

yea lets bilts a fantasy

[Daily6612]

Im so glad they are in my era. Boogie memories

[sexmachi]

hermozizima cancion me encanta Earth Wind & Fire son lo mejor seguido de The Stylist

[msdogooder]

The band sounds amazing.

[tubagee]

Oh god please somebody somebody come up with the 1976 tour with th pyramids on the stage . I was at that show and that's when I was hooked. I saw Larry Dunn earlier that night with Andrerw Woolfolk warming up on stage . I yelled out his name and Larry gave me the heads up . That made my night !!!!!

[tauntie]

@tubagee oh Lord, I'm only 31, so all I have is pics of Larry Dunn to look at from when he was young, but I think he was so cute *blush* with such machismo, and his musicianship is BANANAS. He's still making good music too....I'm an EWF fan for LIFE.

[rhurt87058]

Probably the greatest touring band ever....although I gotta say this is not the best audio recording. They are still my BOYZ!

[didlememy]

bella canzone

[imadmob]

what periode ! no WAR, NO CONFLICTS just FANTASY

[AZASN8SHUN]

Youtube needs to boot 42 ppl RIGHT NOW!! I dont mean right now, I mean RIGHT NOW!!

[PradoChick10]

he looks like a zebra

[RolfBrecht123]

@PradoChick10 And you look like an uncircumcised prick

[kb1gig]

I grew up with this. To be without would be so sad...

[Change2be1]

theirs no other better!

[cavaressi]

 OMG.....................amazin­g.........

[lungwarmer]

Very poor live version of a great song. Phil Bailey sounds like he has something caught where it shouldn't be, and what's with the silver suit and hat, he look like one of the thunderbirds!!!

[1957MrLeonid]

Жаль , что нет русских комментов! А нашим бы певунам и певичкам не помешало бы поучиться проффи этой группы и солиста! Огромный респектище!

[qaiileahbabe]

you notice how these groups are remembered for 30-40 years? In 5 yrs whose going to remember justin bieber or lady gaga? these are legends their music will never die

[Jusliam]

@qaiileahbabe Well Said!

[mxcncarebear]

@qaiileahbabe everyone is being such a fuckin troll. stop hating on other musicians and just enjoy the music

[Fanik10]

@qaiileahbabe Example: Pussy Cat Dolls

[BigAmzz]

WOW! Amazing! This is from a time when you actually needed talent to be a sucessful musician.

[MatrixHealing]

@BigAmzz Well put. This music was about lyrics that meant something, live musicianship, and vocals that aren't messed around with by voice enhancing software and studio equipment.

[jaytrain]

Challenge of the century: Try to listen to the song without humming, Swaying, or dancing, Good Luck

[etyvnio]

CLASSIC!

[Quantanthead]

This is like the 4th EWF song I've listened to in a row. I'm gettin so chilled with these goosebumps that I can't stand it. I thank God for great music and great memories of the past.

[rooobstylee]

musica Linda ! : from Brazil ♥

[wildmick]

kickass Do you here rap LOL

[monoris2008]

乗っけから飛ばすな～！

[agnemmiretep]

great song but definitly not their best performance of the song

[irenestanciel]

this song is very spiritual and beautiful

[delcomurf]

`LOOK AT THAT SUITE, CAN I GET FRIES WITH THAT

[diggleb]

I used to listen to this every morning on my way to work riding down I285 in Atlanta! Love this!

[joseph1987BB]

Love the music...but there is a window somewhere missing its curtains....caus he's wearing them....

[waynes0000]

waanzinnig nog steeds na al die jaren

NOG STEEDS KIPPEVEL!!!!

[MadMarkus07]

I would very much like to know who the tailor is... those clothes are mad.. they are only a little bit worse then what they use today...

[PerfectDecalibration]

I think they were summoning up heaven on stage with the ritual that was this song

[greennova1]

@MalCoonX1 Your mom loved this song back in the day boy, man she would cream up like a milkshake over Phillip Bailey. Ask her about it.

[keithwilliamsatl]

This is real music!! Where are the groups like this today??

[iluvme4never]

@keithwilliamsatl dead and gone. overproduced bullshit has taken over any true music that is created now. i mostly listen to rock and country now, because it seems to be taking the longest to be assimilated into the shit that's become so popular now. (of course, this is only concerning the newer music i listen to, i still love listening to classics like this)

[Davo5673]

lol james earl jones intro?

[zigertube]

@Davo5673 Yep.

[MsWashington1972]

muito bom

[treguard1982]

Great goup. Love em

[cielostar4]

AWESOME !!!!!!!!!

[KellyGiftShop]

Back In the day , we had didn't have video of the groups. We had our EARS! And these guys just blew us away!! There will never be a group as great as EARTH WIND AND FIRE! Never!

[thelala22222]

@KellyGiftShop i agree with you! earth wind and fire are the gods of funk!

[jjennings67]

Epic.

[fnkdrmmr]

I just purchased Lillo Thomas' new CD; "Come And Get It". I like the hit single "What's Not To Love?" The CD is a winner. I have it on repeat in my BMW. It's good that Lillo is back.

[soSpecialkay]

Why was this not used in Transformers?

[pubmasterj]

Classic music and fun to listen to.

[vikingbaby100]

E.W. and F. best group ever

[smaexpress]

I was wondering what happened to the TIN MAN in the Wizard of Oz!

[aquario9]

LOVE THIS SONG, COME BACK TO BRAZIL EWF. SOON AS POSSIBLE,!!!

[pixiemark7]

Hey Y'all, EW&F such a brilliant and life-affirming sound, excellent performers.. well they're all 'Real' musicians, they really know how to play! Sure the music of the 60s and 70s was so good, a lot of it because it was happening for the first time. I was there and managed to see a lot of the great bands of the day, sadly not this lot though! What I'd like to say is don't be too hard on today's music, there's still a lot of good stuff out there..seek and ye shall find!! Lov n Peas, Px

[lersseimeca]

es lo maximo en musica espero q se presenten en venezuela

[toyajoe]

im in the library and im crying cause the music is so good

[yourdrunkendad41]

@toyajoe don't worry i think weve all been there

[starsofsound]

@toyajoe Listen! When I first heard this song back in 1979 for the first time, I was walking down a street. I had a "ghetto blaster" with me. It came on the radio and I heard the first verse. I literally stopped and began to cry. It was so beautiful and unique. Funnily enough, when Maurice first played the idea for the song to Philip, Philip began crying. You can find out about that in some of the EWF interviews about the music. One of my all time favorite songs.

[gabrielgm6]

@starsofsound Would you believe if I tell you the same thing that happened to you in 1979 happened to me in 2000?

[starsofsound]

@gabrielgm6 I can. I sing the song and it still affects me like that. Brilliant lyrics, brilliant music, brilliant vocals. I love the extended version of this song.

[gabrielgm6]

@starsofsound You're so right, it's a masterpiece!

[fluffythecat2]

@toyajoe

I hear ya. I am a 59 yo vanilla hetero man and I have the same reaction. Astounding music. Always been my pleasure to buy their songs. Never seen them in concert; feel like I have missed out. Great songs!

Full body chill. :D

[thiesjaarsma]

@toyajoe That's great man!

[santacasadelondrina]

MUITO BOM ESSE SOM!!! SOU FÃ DESSES CARAS!!!!

[tamar8559]

This kind of music doesn't exist anymore. What's up with that?

[comadyret]

@tamar8559 because its easier to rip some other group for there great music. with that said i still miss Earth Wind & Fire and other great groups...

[santiortuzar]

[QelDroma769]

YEAAAAAAAH!

[TheAndy8607]

[delledean2020]

[TheThetermanitor]

im 16 and im pissed that we dont have music like this in my time

[gabemarshallmusic]

@TheThetermanitor It's there, you just gotta look harder. I recommend Trombone Shorty.

[TheThetermanitor]

@gabemarshallmusic i appricate that

[duanevibes]

@TheThetermanitor

I understand ur cry

[fluffythecat2]

@TheThetermanitor

But we do. I am watching it right now. :D

It's a time machine called youtube. :D

[goluigi2196]

@TheThetermanitor exactly. now our generation (i'm 14) is stuck with bullcrap like rebecca black and justin bieber

[TheWeeklyPokemon]

@goluigi2196 I wish i lived back in the 70's!

[goluigi2196]

@TheWeeklyPokemon yeah! we should build a time machine and go back to the 50s-70s

[TheWeeklyPokemon]

@goluigi2196 Haha! Lets get to work on That! lol(=

[goluigi2196]

@TheWeeklyPokemon yay jazz and soul ftw!

[57Moby]

@goluigi2196 so true!

[jayfey77]

@TheThetermanitor yeah music today sucks.that stupid friday song is proof what kind of crap comes out today.

[1axalove]

@TheThetermanitor We listened to these guys on vinyl at your age-- but we didn't have the tech to watch the videos; we didn't even have cable TV yet. : D Don't be pissed- with people like you in your generation this music will never disappear.

[opiumaddict]

@TheThetermanitor

You do have this music... it is here now for you to enjoy! :)

[instereovideos]

@TheThetermanitor That's because you and your friends keep downloading new music that isn't any good. Stop doing that, and everything will change.

[rorikjunior]

@TheThetermanitor What do you mean by "not in your time"? EWF are still active as fas as I am informed...although sadly Maurice White no longer being able to perform due to illness

[TheThetermanitor]

@rorikjunior what i mean exactly is bands like this in 2010 this type of music

[SurflnBlrd]

just only 1m views, and 34 people who need glasses. man, im 14 now but still, fuck all the gay and sluts from todays "music"

[19Ron66]

Poor live performance. EW&F are usually so much better than this!

[BartSmith85]

@19Ron66 Sadly, because Philip wasn't in his best condition (as we all hear).

[kikakei]

I had to sing this song in Junior high school choir...

[wreepeet]

wow, what was that AT 4:04 phillip was a little to over the top for me and i know his voice must have been really stressed at the end, but the band was good

[tickerbiller]

Phillip Bailey you have an amazing voice! Earth Wind and Fire are an amazing band so full of vibrance, colour and energy. Love this track ♥

[unklscrufy]

You think they're enjoying what they're doing? That's called entertainment, folks.

[kelsud]

I like the moment....Yo estaba allí, hóstias!!!!!!!!

[jvane2010]

sounds like

une belle histoire..

[pi41pa]

EARTH WIND AND FIRE ONE THE BEST BANDS EVER!!!!!!

[boneshake83]

Are they going to roast the singer after the show? He's covered in foil!

[dbookin]

Looks like Philip Baily stole his suit out of Michael Jacksons closet LOL

[billiemook]

Phillip Bailey one of the greatest vocalists ever! Unreal.

[carlovrviable]

good old iwf

[TheVIdeosOnly]

32 Justin Bieber fans apparently saw this :D

[Dfraz96]

@TheVIdeosOnly LOL!
