Funky Wonderland

Funky Wonderland　/　Earth, Wind & Fire　（2008）

DVD product that contains the live performance at the 2008 Chili.

At that time, Kim Johnson  participated , I felt it gorgeous to listen to their chorus with female member.

Philip Bailey lead the performance on  the center,.

and B David Whitworth also played a major role!

The camera was chasing only 3 of the original members,

Philip Bailey, Verdine White, Ralph Johnson.
There was dissatisfied point for me coz I really love all the members of EWF.

Cavalcade of hit songs!

Hundreds of times would have been listened , but these songs  never get us tired.

Also attractive arrangement was changing.

Interlude that connects the songs, solo play at the time of the member referral・・・

There were really cool!

For me,this DVD became in one important thing to watch on a regular basis in the future.

Live At Red Rocks

Live At Red Rocks　(2006） (CD & DVD)



Album of Illumination that I bought for the second time.
Illumination (2CD+DVD)
It is a profitable commodity that music CD and live DVD make a set in a usual album.

New ３ songs from Illumination were performanced at red rocks.
New members of Earth and Wind & Fire greatly took an active part.
David Whitworth and Kim Johnson stand out very much.

There seems to be value that buys this Illumination again to get this DVD.

By the way, Pure Gold (Acoustic Suite) was featured to bonus CD!
It is a quiet, unlike original damp sound.

Earth,Wind & Fire

★　EARTH,WIND & FIRE　(ＤＶＤ1994）



It is the DVD of live performance done in Yoyogi Olimpic Pool ,Japan in 1994.
Live started from appeappearance like gramary show with opening tune of Bill Meyers composition.
It got excited.

Medley of hit songs makes enerybody dance and shake!
It was rolled in the whirlpool of the excitement at once ･･･.
It was glad to see sing in the stage where Maurice White and Philip Bailey are still the same.
(It is also glad again that we have Sheldon Reynolds and Sonny E there. )
In live of EWF, it is a charm to make it new arrange the familiar music to fresh version.
I love to listen to the long version of standard number.

Though the CG images of flowing space was good-looking.,the fan wanted to experience the whole live without any cut!
Total time of DVD was too short comparing ｔｈｅ with the real live!

However, 'Cause live was performed ten more years before , members of EWF were young!
The body of Philip Bailey was still slim.

I think that this is the only film that we can see the performance of "Would' t Change A Thing About You ".

That's The Way Of The World

That's The Way Of The World (1975)

This is the movie which they did on the stage of a music industry of 1975.
EWF appears as Also Starring in this film.
《That's The Way Of The World is soundtrack of this movie》




Anyway, EWF is young! Though they appeared only in live broadcasting scene.
MauriceWhite sometimes appears and act his role!
Though it cannot be said that a performance as a actor is good ,by any means,he had a quite good presence.
Maurice White comes out to the name for the last credit properly.

Though" That's The Way Of The World""Reasons "" Shining Star" flowed behind scenery as BGM,
Vocalless version (Backing Tracks) was usully used.
I feit stress for me who like EWF much!
But the picture swells when "See The Light" and "Happy Feelin" flow in the background!

There is a sound privilege to this DVD.
When you choose this privilege sound at Audio Select , Verdine White and Ralph Johnson explain music like broadcast of the baseball with the progress of the movie.
I felt like appreciating this DVD in a house with members of EWF!
So fully listening to a voice (but is conversation) of Verdine White and Ralph Johnson only as for this DVD.
This is the picture that all the EWF fan was waitting .
