Maurice WHite coming out on that stage despite his illness at the time was everything here!!! REST IN POWER REESE!

[@blessed5545]

What can I say, but AMAZING. Especially when Philip Bailey hit those high notes. It just sent chills down my spine.

[@boom7star731]

I watch a documentary and Maurice brother Verdine White.was talking about the old days how the Jackson's would always come to their concerts and hang out with the band just learning about showmanship just having a good time kicking it with EWF !

[@greggprice3609]

OMG the crowd was lit! I could only imagine the vibe in that place

[@chazmann108]

Philip Bailey, falsetto extraordinaire.....Verdine - he'll never have a weight problem with that energy....

[@the1realanalogman]

Other worldly voice! Anointed!

[@dominiquejones3805]

Verdine the ball of energy

[@wandahwhetstone1587]

OOOOOOOOCHILE😋 WHAT U SAYYYYY 🤪🤪🤪🤪❤❤❤💯

[@blessed5545]

GOD given talent. When he hit those high notes, it sent chills down my back. Just outstanding.

[@Kevin112681]

[@KennedyMusicTheories]

[@dominiquejones3805]

The BIG BOSS

[@ayndowney9401]

[@paulettescott3908]

stop complaining about steve's introduction to the greatest band of all time....if u pay close attention while he was doing his introduction u could hear them setting up behind him so apparently they needed the time to get themselves set up and together .... still and all i loved his introduction and he was 100 percent correct.....The Greatest Band of all TIME!!!! RIP Maurice we miss and we love you!!

[@TeamBreezyWilliams]

i love how everyone started grooving when "Lets Groove" came on, I would've went cray!

[@terrykathforever]

The "Beatles" of Black Music no question! For me the best Group ever with Chicago and Tower of Power Maurice White the Man! This music will last a 1000 years

[@diackone]

Do not disagree!

[@justpde]

terrykathforever Beatles ain't even the same league, no standard bearers, my friend. Just sayin !

[@g0ldenhearted1]

I've been looking everywhere for this particular performance! Thank you so much. Philip Bailey KILLED it, as usual!

[@jamessatterfield6166]

This has always been my favorite band of all time! Heck! I feel like I'm an honorary member! I have all their music and still never get tired of listening to it. Nobody does it like EWF. They are the most talented band I have ever heard!

[@sweetcooliegyal9074]

I love Let's groove from them

[@coreymielke3606]

I am with you 100% James!! I grew up listening to them and my happiest memories are directly linked to their performances!!!! It would be an understatement to say they are all my idols

[@wandahwhetstone1587]

SALUTE 🥰🥰🥰🥰😇🙏🙌💯💣💣

[@GlennDGrace]

(Teary-Eyed) I just so appreciate the love and beauty that Earth Wind & Fire has consistently put out into this, sometimes, hateful world. I don't know what's gotten into me today, but I am just so grateful for my life and how I've always tried to live it. Earth, Wind & Fire Forever!

[@JamesSmith-pp7kq]

Author G D Grace my brother I can relate to what you just said I lost it I was crying like a baby so many good memories growing up listening to this band so brother you are not the only one lol.

[@lpwalke64]

The Way of the World . . . I cried when EWF sang this song (blessed to see them in concert last month) . . . . . the lyrics . . . I’m blessed & thankful to have seen them. 53 years strong they are ~ ♥️ 🎶 🔥

[@GlennDGrace]

@@lpwalke64 As I've gotten older, I appreciate music like this even more. I've never stopped loving it. So much of the music nowadays is boisterous and angry. I shied away from mainstream music long ago, because I just got burned out on it. But EWF, and so many greats of eras past, their music has aged like fine wine.

[@theesassydiva7]

Back when A-Listers came to the BET Awards!

[@cjkirk231]

I think EWF should do the Superbowl halftime show, be a whole lot better than everyone else they have had recently!

[@ayndowney9401]

Yes, because the wannabes so called self titled musicians they have performing today do not rise to the occasion 🎉😂❤

[@TheRenard10]

Next year, they should ban Justin Timberlake and Janet Jackson.

[@larvellpullin9983]

The GREATEST BAND EVER!!!

[@wandahwhetstone1587]

[@michaelpeterson4535]

May God Bless All The Brothers N Members Who Contributed To This Miracle EWF

[@maesap22]

I will never ever get sick of listening to this band, it's a shame they always came out second best to The Commodores at the Grammy's, Well Deserved Award! Thank You for the music!!

[@lpwalke64]

Well, as of today (11/27/22) EWF has won 7 grammy’s and The Commodores only 1 ~ plus EWF taking home The Life Time Achievement Award. I enjoyed the Commodores but they simply dont compare to Earth a Wind & Fire.

[@ronmoore9138]

Ewf won more Grammys the Commodores. They were never second to anyone

[@gmontez25]

The boys still got it. Reasons, Let's Groove tonite.

[@JamesSmith-pp7kq]

At exactly 3min and 57sec Ms Jill Scott had an eargasm she was feelin it. Lol R.I.P. To Maurice White and The legendary Barry White and the great Gerald Levert.

[@Jermainebolo]

I really appreciate and respect Larry Dunn for giving thanks to the late Charles Stepney & The Phoneix Horns. They deserve their recogniction and respect.

[@janaysummers4467]

[@annettejenkins383]

[@sunnu777]

If Steve ain't did nuthin' right his whole damn life, he did it right here...!!! THEEEE GREATEST BAND IN HISTORY TO STRAP ON MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS...! PERIOD....!!!!!!!!

[@marchellknox9138]

I had the honor of seeing the great Earth, Wind & Fire in concert tonight in Cherokee at Harrah’s and OMG I’m still hyped from their performance. They still got it!!!!

[@mrinnervisionz]

To the White family, particularly, Verdine & Fred White, but to all of the family & band mates, Phillip, Larry, Ralph, & all the others, you are grieving alone . Thank you Maurice White, for your teachings, spirit, & love, I love & miss you bruh! R.I.P. You will "Be Ever Wonderful " for as long as time exist .

[@mrinnervisionz]

+mrinnervisionz Oops! "You ARE NOT Grieving alone, damn, sorry bout that typo, I love you Reese !

[@ridgeway87diane]

+mrinnervisionz To you so beautifully spoken, this is what is in my heart, it could not have come out so eloquently as you have spoken thank you, so much for saying what is truly in my heart.

[@mrinnervisionz]

diane myers Yeah, Reese's death is very very big to me, there are only a few people in music that was on his level, as far as self love, inner beauty, love of OUR culture as well as one's own culture . God forbid if something happen to Stevie Wonder while I'm above ground, I will not be right for the rest of MY life ! People like Maurice White/Earth, Wind & Fire, Michael Jackson/The Jacksons, Aretha, Gladys Knight, Natalie Cole, Diana Ross , Rick James, Teena Marie, El DeBarge, Prince & Stevie Wonder & so many others might not be THE latest, but they are THE greatest ! We as consumers need to do our part in saving not only great music, but the legacy of ALL these great artist !

[@Ranasha12]

+mrinnervisionz Lord yes!

[@mrinnervisionz]

Ranasha Belser Yeah, The elements( Earth, Wind & Fire), taught us a lot about black love, black beauty, & black sel esteem & black power, just as Stevie Wonder has ! They & Stevie have taught us about Unity, love, Togetherness for all cultures & people . I know BET is going to do a nice tribute to Prince , but if they forget about Reese & Natalie Cole, I'm gonna be pissed !

[@reginaldstyles3129]

STEVE HARVEY PUT IT OUT THERE, THE GREATEST BAND IN HISTORY OF MUSIC, EVEN THE YOUNG ARTISTS WENT CRAZY FOR THEM!

[@divaslm1]

Reginald Styles cause their music is timeless and sampled in their songs

[@JLJ504HD]

@@divaslm1 Yup, they sampled those legends. I sure hope they paid them for their work. Them sampling lead these youngsters to the ORIGINATORS.

[@tcgtpl]

Oh, don't be such a fuddy-duddy. They're on tour right now (Summer 2013), so you can get your own invitation to check them out. I went this past weekend (June 9 in Charlotte) and you'll be hard-pressed to find a more racially diverse and age-spanning crowd anywhere else than an EWF concert, where everyone's getting down to some high-quality music.
