Live In Japan

Live In Japan  (2008)




This performance of Earth,Wind & fire was was recorded during Japan tour in 1990..
Set of the DVD and music CD for the same contents.
I had it with a video, but I bought because Ｉ　wanted this CD!.

Ｉ　like the opening of this show very much!
Film of EWF was reflected in a big screen, and they had approached here... Next moment, EWF themselves were breaking out of the screen!

When I went to see this show, I was excited considerably with surprise.
Maurice White was still doing a performance vigorously .
We can listen to the Rap of Sonny Emory in 2 songs.
Anyway it was exciting show.
An impression at that time is revived.

Though the contents are same, but only sound is listened with your ears, you're happy because there is different discovery again.
By the way, the version only of the DVD is already sold before .

Jennifer Holiday got many prizes by Broadway musical "DREAMGIRLS" and built the place by the musical star up then.

Especially I love this song inside, "Shine A Light "!
