Description:
The teaming of legendary groups Chicago and Earth, Wind & Fire was the tour hit of the summer. Playing to sold-out venues, this spectacular show brought the GRAMMY-winning artists together in a show that both individually and together highlighted their revolutionary melding of rock, soul and jazz as well as their numerous #1 and Top 10 hits. Now you can have a front-row seat for this amazing concert, performed at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles. Every moment, all the energy and excitement of this final show of the tour, was captured in high-definition for this extraordinary DVD.

The '70s and '80s rule as two of the most popular bands from that era join forces on Chicago/Earth Wind & Fire - Live at the Greek Theatre, a two-disc, nearly three-hour concert recorded in Los Angeles in 2004. These groups scored dozens of hits in their heydays, and if neither has come up with much of anything that's new in the past two decades, the sold-out audience at the Greek Theatre could hardly care less. Both Chicago and Earth, Wind & Fire, have soldiered on despite key personnel changes over the years (Chicago bassist-singer Peter Cetera and EWF founder Maurice White are long gone, and much missed); here they perform energetic and tasteful versions of everything from 'Make Me Smile,' 'I'm a Man,' and 'Saturday in the Park' (Chicago) to 'That's the Way of the World,' 'Fantasy,' and 'Serpentine Fire' (EWF), among many others, to rapturous response. Nothing too exciting about all of that--in fact, it's a bit like witnessing a couple of very skilled tribute bands at work--but there are a few surprises, as when Chicago keyboardist-singer Bill Champlin takes the lead on 'After the Love Has Gone' (which he co-wrote) and EWF singer Philip Bailey returns the favor on Chicago's 'If You Leave Me Now.' The highlights are the first and last portions of the show, when the two bands (complete with horn sections) share the stage for 'September,' '25 or 6 to 4,' 'Shining Star,' and more, displaying genuine joy at performing together and generating a huge, infectious sound delivered with high definition visuals and digital audio. --Sam Graham

- Don't think twice / just buy it
Now that it's on Blu-Ray, we own this concert in all three formats (DVD, Hi-Def, & Blu Ray) It was a Christmas present from me to me. My daughters knew it was under the tree and unwrapped it for me. From the time the menu starts to the end credits, it's on. We watched it as if it were the first time we had seen it. The color, the images, the sound, all truly amazing. To see the two bands together as I said in an earlier review of this project is a music lesson no classroom could touch. I'm not sure it was the 7.1 surround system or my excitment to watch this, but I was hearing sounds that I had not noticed before. There are a lot more reviews to go, so I will simply end with, if you are looking for a Blu-Ray that will test your system and keep you moving all at the same time, this is the disc you want in your player. If you think you are a fan of either of these bands, then this disc will erase all ... Read More

- The best of both worlds
Chicago combined with Earth Wind,and Fire put on one of the best performances I have reviewed on Blue-ray disk. The high energy sound of EWF combined with the classic rock tunes of Chicago made a major impression on me. This is a must see disk and a great addition to your musical library.

- Great Show in glorious high definition
This is a great show that will please established fans of one or both of these groups, as well as entertain newcomers to one or both as well. At nearly three hours in length, fans, both new and old, have the opportunity to meet and enjoy their favorite stars from these two power groups like never before, in glorious high definition. As an established fan of Chicago and a newcomer to Earth, Wind & Fire, I came away from the show extremely pleased with the experience from both an entertainment and critical perspective.never felt like I was actually at the Greek and mingling amongst the crowd. Instead, there is a sense of isolation and a lack of warmth in that regard. Fortunately, the music itself fares very well. Lyrics sometimes sound trumped by the instruments, but those instruments sure do pack a wonderful wallop. Every instrument is rendered remarkably well and comes through the sound system with crystal-clear ... Read More

- For oldies acts, these guys are still very vibrant!
OK, first off, I would never have purchasd thid DVD were it not for my wife. She'd seen some of it on one of the cable channels and raved how good it was. I got it for her on a whim.

As it turns out, this two-CD concert is great! It opens with Chcago and Towner of Power, two horn-driven bands, playing several songs together. Then they toss a coin to see who goes first and Tower of Power gets the win. I've never been a big fan of theirs, but Mr. Bailey and Co. kept my attention.

The second CD opens with Chicago's performance, and closes with both groups jamming together for several tunes. With Pete Cetera long gone, I was prepared for a watered-down "oldies" band. The few young guys add some energy, but, surprisingly, the original members of the band are in fine shape and kicked butt. Fortunately, much of the concert was geared toward Chicago's early hits. (I stopped following the band after ... Read More
