Earth, Wind & Fire - September - Live Brazil 1980 - 40th Anniversary Audio Remaster

October 1980,
following the release of their "Faces" album,
Earth, Wind & Fire embarked on a South American tour.
One of the highlights was a show at
the Maracanzinho Arena in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil,
which was recorded for a TV special.
Sadly the video was never edited and eventually lost.
In the mid 90's
a poor quality VHS tape of the show is found
and shared between fans.
2019, a different version is recovered
with better audio and a clearer video,
surprisingly some instruments are cut out.
One year later,
during the Covid pandemic,
we started a restoration project for fun.
Our plan was to combine the audio
from the two video sources
and produce a higher quality master.
We enhanced the bass, drums and vocals
and generally improved the stereo experience.
We feel good about sharing the final cut
in conjunction with the show 40th anniversary.
Enjoy the original nine with the Phenix Horns
playing September, Boogie Wonderland,
and much more ...
To support us please do not duplicate this video.
We don't own the source copyrights,
but own copyrights of the audio remaster.
