Sooo beautiful! Philip Bailey is king of falsetto. EWF was so ahead of their time. Their energy was strong. I’m in my 60s and still get stoked every time I hear them. Miss Maurice very much.
I feel double satisfaction to see one of my favorite bands, Earth, wind and fire playing Fantasy, and in the background on the right to see the flag of my country (Venezuela) waving.
I just realized Phillips high notes!!!! Dang, simply killer notes, I never heard that before from anyone else but from him. I can hit a high F#, but what he just hit, was a gift from the heavens.
Wow! I love this song! I love this crowd (notice the makeup). Why have we changed? We are ONE PEOPLE, ONE COUNTRY! WE ENJOY THE SAME THINGS: SAFETY, JUSTICE, ENJOYMENT OF FREEDOM, LOVE OF GREAT MUSIC! PLEASE LET US COME BACK TOGETHER! NOT FIGHT AGAINST EACH OTHER BUT JOIN WITH EACH OTHER! OUR COUNTRY IS FALLING, ASK YOURSELF WHY.
I was thinking the same thing. The crowd seems to represent a kinder and gentler time in our country--an educated and enlightened electorate. No posturing, no angry expressions, no sinister looking hoodies, no visible tattoos covering the neck and no basketball shorts or ball caps turned backwards. A time when conspiracy theorists and Q-ANON adherents were on the fringe and not worth giving the time of day to.
This is an incredible performance.I wonder if the audience knew that they were witnessing one of the all time great live vocal performances by Phillip Bailey..just other worldly..
Just saw him the other night ............ he can still rock that high falsetto!!!! The group was beyond fantastic. A night I’ll never forget .... free in the music, the band, the night. My 30 yr old son was astonished of their performance, we shared such a special event together. 😊 What a phenomenal group. ♥️
CHILDREN OF THE WORLD.........There will never be another group like this!!!!! Real Talent, no cussing,no disrespect, yes fun, happy, real love actually feeling in your soul.....Us, older folks remember .....Love and peace.!!!
As a session musician myself, I have to note that the few cracked notes before the outro vamp of his what we call faux falsetto which is on the majority of the verses is what keeps us on the edge, and makes it a greater performance! He actually hits true falsetto at the end, and my head always explodes with glee!
Omg!!! I just saw them 2 nights ago!! I cannot describe how incredible their performance was! Awesome, amazing & powerful. It was so fabulous to completely be free in their presence as they performed for us! The songs .... the memories of growing up with their music. Their talent is real, pure and God given ... no other band compares ... they are an amazing group. 🔥 🎸🎤🎷🥁
@@totalpkg6912 ... wow 3 hours!! How fortunate! I just saw them 2 nights ago, was 2 hours. It went by so quickly it seemed. I didn’t want it to end. 😢 It was such an amazing concert.
One morning in 1995, I was on my way to work at a law firm at 30 Rock. As I was about to enter the building, I heard this song coming from down the street and I stopped in my tracks to listen for a minute because this was one of my favorite E,W,&F songs. Then I realized that they were actually performing the song live. Needless to say, I was a few minutes late that morning. It was awesome. Don't know if this is that performance because I think it's from 1997, I'm told.
True. By this time Maurice had retired due to him battling parkinsons disease. He did reunite with the band in 2000, 2002 and 2004 for the Rock and Roll hall of fame induction ceremony the BET Awards and the Grammy Awards before he officially retired from touring.
The dream of Maurice White , an his two Co Founders , Phillip Bailey and Verdine White was a legacy of excellence all these years , because today on 2019 , we have the Blessing of continuing to see them on tour and performing. I know Mo the Captain as he was called is in Heaven proud and continuing to receive all the Love of everyone of us their grateful an loyal fans until the end.
People don't understand how I can like Pantera and Earth, Wind and Fire, AND alot of classical music. You've just got to be able recognize outstanding talent in each form! 🤷♂
Just look at the audience's faces....says everything....happiness. Vocally and musically outstanding and LIVE too. Never easy to get it right LIVE but these guys NAIL it.
This is true talent at its finest kids. No auto tune, no backing tracks, no drum samples, just great music. Oh by the way, did I mention I'm a 60 year old white guy. Just goes to show you, great music touches us all. Semper Fi and god bless.
I appreciate and agree with this comment, except for the injection of race into it, which I am just sick and tired of. We are all human beings and music is the universal language. Enjoying music cuts across all cultures and being one shade or another does not make possible or prevent that enjoyment. So enjoy it freely!
@@HQBergeron interesting how no one has hit the " thumbs up" on what you said. You are so correct in your analogy. Clearly the words of this song are lost on those who see a world of Me instead of US. "And WE will live together, until the 12th of NEVER, OUR voices will ring FOREVER , AS ONE"
You see you have to remember when you and I were growing up we got to hear all kinds of music played together and I swear those band and groups were the poster child for iron sharpens iron. A great time for all music lovers!!!
No one better. I can’t even dance during this song. I just stop dead in my tracks in awe of this man’s blessing to us. I am transfixed. Have been for twenty years.
I saw them the other night .... absolutely amazing concert. Fantasy is a huge favorite of mine ... but when they started it, I couldn’t stop dancing. I was singing dancing, hands everywhere .... everyone was, lol. The crowd was so into the moment, as I. It was so amazing to see them sing it! Right there, live in front of me. The entire performance was insanely awesome ~ perfect. It was so wonderful to be captivated by them...their music. Such talent they have .... so blessed.
Phillip Bailey is a true gifted professional with years of experience and a falsetto talent out of this world. He has mastered his craft and no other male artist can even touch this guy in high notes.
@@rjasontwenty1099 Demis Roussos was a great singer, I agree. He was the leader of Aphrodite's Child. He made a career in England but that's in France that he will win the hearts of his fans. He's deceased in Athens, in Greece. A very great artist.
Phillip Bailey has a super-human talent - seen 'em live, twice......just incredible. And how come I'm never just walking down the street when EW&F is jamming on the sidewalk???? What a band, what a band, what a band.....my favorite.
I am attending the show in Tampa this Saturday night. My 1st time seeing this group live, and sorry to say that. That voice is triumphet to all ! I know I will love this GIG !!!
One of the most exquisite horn sections EVER!!! And then there's Mssrs. Bailey & Maurice! Thank you for the great memories and a time and defining sound that will NEVER be repeated nor duplicated!!!
Ooohh! I'm so jealous. I am, and will forever be, a die hard EWF lover and I'm so grateful that they have blessed us in this life. (I saw them several times in the early 1980's, most memorable was in a tiny venue in my hometown of Redwood City, CA, called the Circle Star Theater. The theater where every seat is a front row seat because the stage rotates around 360 degrees super slowly, giving every section a full frontal view of my favorite band of all time...Earth, Wind, and Fire!!!
@@pattydonohue5452 very glad to hear you experienced a once in a lifetime experience with this amazing and most wonderful band EWF oh my GOD I just never got the chance too see them live due too very unusual unfortunate circumstances really bazaar ones far out of my control but nevertheless I purchased every album ever made with the name EWF
Ikr?!? Phillip Bailey clowned EVERYBODY in the place because he's still got the range!! I saw them in '76, '79, '95, '98, '15, '19 and intend on seeing them in '22 (rescheduled from 2020)
Can you all see the smile and happiness in everyone's face when listening to the wonderful music by Earth , Wind and Fire ? They can bring us all together with LOVE !
What a band and Phillip bailey what a voice and range always love this great group of real musicians and real vocalists this is really Gods gift to us they them
spot on, wish folk would use concerts like these to listen and learn as opposed to hopping on to social media and doing the ‘ guess where I am ‘ thing.
This is the national anthem you will hear when you become the citizen of Heaven
WOW!!!!
I was 37 then and i cant believe its been 27 yrs!!
Life WAS so much better than today!!😢😢
Happy, smiling people. So good to see! No phones, but people living the experience, not through and or behind a screen.
Phillip Bailey... Hands down the GOAT of falsetto voices!!!
Absolutely 💯 GOAT
1997
What does that mean?
Greatest Of All Time
@@rufuscrowder1309 Thank you
One of the top 10 best rock/soul bands ever. No music can top the 70s. Periodt.
The 1980s smoked the 70s
Philip Bailey just slaying it singing those high octaves and the band sounding as strong as ever...all before 9AM and outdoors!!! Perfection!!!
🤐 me quedé muda con lo que escribiste.
So sad the passing of the legendary guitarist Sheldon Reynolds.
May He Rest In Peace.
Sooo beautiful! Philip Bailey is king of falsetto. EWF was so ahead of their time. Their energy was strong. I’m in my 60s and still get stoked every time I hear them. Miss Maurice very much.

Wow
Appreciate possibly the best band the world has ever seen 😊👏👏👏
3:35-3:49 What a singer!.
When your good your good...EARTH WIND AND FIRE one of the greatest if not thee greatest band of all time.
These guys were from outer space. Superb.

This guy's voice is incredible.
My god, I don't smoke, but I feel like I need a cigarette after that performance.
That high note!!!!!!!!
Se dúvida alguma, o Phillip Bailey é o melhor falsetto da história da música. Todavia, as notar agudas que ele consegue reproduzir é fantástica.

Saw them live in 1976. Best concert ever. Marice White and all the original members. I'll never forget that, the Elements of The Universe.
saw them last night. outstanding.

Phillip Bailey's voice is a true gift from God and is one of a kind.
Joseph Schmo yes
I hope you've checked out his 'I am Gold' track from 1984
God is smiling
Decade's later he is still the man!!!, with out a struggle.
Yes,same like uncrowned king of soul jazz music Phill Perry ....
I’m 28 and I don’t think there is anything in the world better than this. God bless you all.
Phil Bailey is a vocal powerhouse 😎👌🔥🔝🔥🔝🔥🔝
Yep 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I am so glad I grew up in the time of great music. When it had melody.
Music had a real message
Just listen to the words
I agree with you, Jim.
We grew up at the right time.
God bless.
Young people say “who needs melody when you can say f___k every other line”? It’s so much easier to make a gold record. Melody is so old school.
I agree with jim
...and talent was well, .....talent

One of the all time best bands. Only thing missing is their talented leader, Maurice White
True. By this time Maurice had retired due to him battling parkinsons disease. He did reunite with the band in 2000, 2002 and 2004 for the Rock and Roll hall of fame induction ceremony the BET Awards and the Grammy Awards before he officially retired from touring.
Saw them 2 weeks ago in St. Louis- Best show EVER!!!!
and the amazing vocals of Philip Bailey of course.
Maurice is gone....until the Twelfth of Never....R.I.P.
