The Elements…
Oh my goodness! The concert was GREAT! The bands opened together, did invidual sets (over an hour each) and then reunited for a bangin’ finale. EWF was off the chain. These men can still rock a party…and Phillip Bailey’s voice is a gift from God. His falsetto blows me away. EWF’s set included all of my favorites…except September. I was about to throw a fit. Someone must have alerted them about the crazy bitch on the lawn, because September was the first song of the joint finale. 🙂
Chicago was simply awesome. I’ve been jamming to EWF since I could walk (born in ’77, so Mom was playing their stuff on a regular basis in our house. I didn’t get turned on to Chicago until my high school marching band covered their biggest hits during junior year. Saturday in the Park…25 or 6 to 4…Make Me Smile…good stuff!
I can’t believe this is the first tour of its kind. Both bands are known for their extraordinary horn section and crossover appeal. The concert was a great mix of different ages and races. Black folks and white folks jamming to EWF and rocking out to Chicago. What a beautiful thing…. 🙂
It was also nice to hang out with Mom. Sometimes I forget how cool it is to have a young mother. LOL At 48, she’s old enough to eliminate the possibility of seeing her at my favorite club…but young enough to hang out at concerts and booty dance. I got all my trunk junk from her. :p
Hope you all have a tolerable Monday…

What you know about some Earth, Wind and Fire? Sister, you ain’t nothin’ but a young buck!! I LOVES me some EWF!! “Reasons” that song says it all!! I’m glad you had a good time with your Mom. I know you all were too much to handle. Is your theme song, “I Get It From My Mama!”? Smooches…
