This time, Nile Rodgers and Chic were the guests, so it was a great opportunity to see two big groups live at once.
This was my first time at Pia Arena, but it was a large venue with seating up to the fourth floor.
I was sitting on the left side of the stage on the second floor.
First off, CHIC's live performance.
It's a bit tiring to watch stand-up from the first song...
There were a lot of songs I knew.
And Nile Rodgers has written hit songs for many artists.
Nile's soulful voice and the power of the female vocals were worth listening to.
However, although Pia Arena is a fine facility...
it was a bit disappointing that the sound seemed to echo off the walls and distort.

The last song was sung by Philip Bailey of EWF.
Not only did they sing CHIC originals, but they also performed hits by David Bowie, Diana Ross, Madonna, and others...
It was a wonderful performance.

After about an hour, there was a break to change the stage set.
I went to smoke a cigarette, but the line was all the way up the stairs, so it took quite a while.
The EWF live starts.
Songs are played little by little with past album jackets in the background.
And then the EWF members appear.
This time, Verdine White is absent due to medical treatment.
This is the first EWF live without him.
They play old classics with different arrangements.
This time around, I feel like Davit Whitworth and Philip Bairy Jr. are taking on more lead roles.
It seems like they're now taking on the parts previously sung by Mourice White.

It was a powerful and wonderful live performance that was really worth listening to and watching.
It was fun...
Photography and video recording were prohibited at this performance.
Even so, many people were taking photos and uploading them to social media.
I wanted to take a photo too, but it seems unfair...
