The Amazing Earth Wind and Fire

I am currently typing from the Earth Wind and Fire concert at dpac. All I can say is they picked the best ever songs to commemorate their 40 years together. I'm sure that not many if any groups today can say they have performed together as long as two years let along 40 whole years. That's longer than some peoples marriages.
Let's take a look at the audience. There is a pretty even mixture. How many music groups can say that everyone can enjoy their music at anytime? People haven't sat down since the first note of the song "boogie."
I think the best part for me was seeing the bass guitarist Verdine White dancing across the stage shaking his hair. That is what I remember most about him as I was growing up. I used to record the HBO specials when they performed and all I remember was my mom talking about him shaking his hair and getting down on stage.
They started on time and went over 20 minutes pass show time. Well worth it is all that I can say. It was great to see Philip Bailey and son singing hit songs like "fantasy" and "reasons."

The entire mood in the place was relaxing and calm, who else has music that puts everybody in a good and relaxed mood? They have truly mastered their art. New artists need to take notes.
