Philip Bailey Live @ Blue Note


 Philip Bailey came to Japan !
With members of Earth,Wind & Fire!

I went to see his show at Blue Note.
Before show begins, I found the CD "Love is Real"released only by Mp3 download.
Of course, I bought it.



 And picture of him with autograph.

We were at the 35th to get seated.
After  awhile,
The lighting in the hall falls down and other members  arrangeed on a stage. .

I felt my adrenalin fully got pulled out with that  sight.
I could recognize the menbers of EWF I really love.

Then,Philip Bailey appeared through the hall!

Almost EWF!

Philip passed along the left-hand side passage toward the stage,
I should have wished the seat in that direction .


The performed music was as follows .


I"ll Write A Song For You
Nature Boy
Tell Me A Bed Time Story
Fantasy
Kalimba Story
You In I
Love Is Real
Serpentine Fire
Chinese Wall
Let's Groove
September
Shinning Stars

Easy Lover

Since it started with the jazz taste at first,
I thought this was jazz show but he played many groovy songs in many ways.

Audience looked happier when he played EWF's tune,
But I rather want to listen his solo.

"Fantasy"was played with new arrange with surprise.
When they played "Serpentine Fire", we,audience sung the phrase of "Oh Yeah! all together.

Anyway I was so fulled with excitement and amusement!
