Earth Wind & Fire: "Shining Star" / "Devotion" (North Sea Jazz 1997)

[@magdelinna]

I keep watching this over and over. I loved when the band rocked out!!! Love the best band ever!!!! Unreplacable 4 sure. Wish Maurice was able to be healthy enough to be there. Bless Sheldons soul and Andrews also. ❤️

[@chuckbuckbobuck]

Agreed. E,W & F without Maurice is like a day without sunshine.

[@lauracuneo931]

The music of Earth Wind and Fire will always remind me of better days.

[@tony.l5710]

The best band ever !

[@alijandrojuanjourdain7539]

Shelton Reynolds What a talent... He is missed greatly, so is Mo White, Freddy And others....

[@clubmeisterz]

One of the most legendary evenings in North Sea Jazz history.; Zawinul Syndicate, Larry Graham, Buckshot Lefonque and Earth, WInd & Fire....A memory treasured forever!

[@alexemhardt3762]

I was there, too. Agree. Instead of Buckshot Lefonque, I went for Lee Ritenour at Tuinpaviljoen, another legendary concert on the list for only that one festival day.

[@stlviatoby4556]

Love these guys

[@debbywilkins2239]

Best band in the world !

[@SRowan-fr1nl]

The ladies with the bad have a lot of soul and rhythm as well as grace and elegance - very nice balance!

[@williamdavisson8541]

Love these guys! The very Best!!!!

[@dcraytonmckinney6658]

This is to the misconception of the dislikes; there are many times when the group is not dialed in to the groove ( or the mental focus required to deliver a balanced effort) and musically they may be out of synchronization)... therefore, the harmonic balance is not present. However, the group is one to be truly respected musically... So please bear the truth and understand the main objective is to "play through the rough spots," as they make an effort to deliver an outstanding performance overall.......

Жаль что нет пока что полной записи концерта с видео, я не нашел по крайней мере. Записей их концертов 1997 года вообще почему то очень мало. Хотя я считаю 1997-1998 годы один из лучших периодов выступлений группы Earth, Wind & Fire

[@wonder6789]

Love that Billie t-shirt!

Dave Whitworth brings the real energy!!!!!!

Es mejor musica que se vivi en los anos 80 .

The very first mannequin challenge @ 6:20!!!!!! RIP Mr White 💕

[@tedkay3750]

IT'S crazy Maurice WHITE picked Sheldon to join the group as guitar player -Maurice dies from Parkinson and later Sheldon had to leave the group because he was diagnosed with the same disease..that's too ! crazy BADDEST BAND TO EVER DO IT!!

[@RandomThingsMan06]

well now he too is dead

[@philsarkol6443]

He plays these parts on guitar with that ease..soloing inbetween and singing on top of all that in harmony with the lead vocals oh and dancing routine all at once!! No wonder Maurice asked him to join the band. Sad to hear of him getting the same disease as Maurice..

[@FunkSoulBluesJazzRockPop]

RIP Sheldon Maurice Reynolds (September 13, 1959 - May 23, 2023).

I don't want to see the picture Maurice is not, it's because I like Maurice most. Please isn't it seen?

[@berte2492]

I am a huge fan of ewf but there is 1 point i wanna discuss. How many years is Ralph Johnsson member of this superband but until now he has any contribution to the band besides back ground vocals...

[@mauricetroop1121]

Behind the scenes, he may be the glue. You never know. Plus, trust is a big part of it also. He is their brother.

[@mauricetroop1121]

Originally, he was a drummer for them.

[@berte2492]

@@mauricetroop1121 i know but Maurice had probaly a reason to make him a back ground singer....

[@mauricetroop1121]

Nonetheless, that is a good question as to why that happened?

[@mauricetroop1121]

Wasn't the drummer also Fred White, who is the brother of Maurice and Verdine? May have been a way to keep him in the group.

[@philsarkol6443]

North Sea Jazz biggest mistake was the move to Rotterdam!!

[@bluewater3783]

This is A Perfect Example of Why **I HATE "LIVE MUSIC!"** 😂 I mean, This Absolutely Great And Wonderful Song--"Shining Star!" by "Earth, Wind, And Fire!"--is one of My All-Time Favorites! BUT, WITHOUT EXCEPTION!... Invariably--and Un-Fortunately!--THE ONE THING THAT YOU CAN ALWAYS COUNT ON GOING HORRIBLY WRONG! AT VIRTUALLY ANY "LIVE PERFORMANCE!" IS THE SINGING!/VOCALS!--WHICH ARE NEARLY **ALWAYS! HORRIBLY "OFF!" AND BEYOND ANY KIND OF REPAIR!** I mean, AS A TYPICAL EXAMPLE, just (try to 😂😆😂) listen to 5:35-5:45!!--it's Simply **AWFUL!** 😳 😲 😂 😆 😂 And just Before that--4:55-5:33--isn't anything to "write home about", either!, Lol... 😂 😂 😂 ***BUT, LET'S ALL TRY!--JUST "ONE MO' TIME!" 😂--TO LISTEN TO THAT "ABSOLUTELY HORRENDOUS! **5:35**-**5:45**!, SHALL WE!!"*** 😂 😲 😆 😂

[@john-boywalton6189]

I doubt anyone in that audience noticed. Its easy to pick things apart with youtube but that crowd that it was good enough for an encore

[@asdsrer4286]

I really miss the girls who danced in the band in the late 90's. Short skirts, transparent pantyhose, and sexy asses. I do not know who decided to remove them. But it was a bad idea. Return these girls or invite new ones, what's the problem?
