My Favorite LIVE version of Earth Wind and Fire's Reasons

[@HiroForever]

That’s it. I declare this Philip Bailey performance as one of the GREATEST OF ALL TIME AND his voice a NATIONAL TREASURE. WHOSE WITH ME?!

[@wandawandittybradley7970]

I'm With Ya 10000% He's🔥 the Voice

[@josefaantonio3518]

Absolutely agree!

[@MsWildberry1]

💯 NO DOUBT. I am with you.

[@tmtools]

Absolutely agree 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@lancegolden8190]

Agreed!!!!

[@kathidillard1052]

The Best!! Thank you Phillip❤❤

[@mongoslade22]

This is the best song from the greatest soul band of the '70s.

[@wandawandittybradley7970]

This KING THIS MAN HIS VOICE. Heavenly. Phillip has a voice of an Angel he's totally anointed with a voice that has Blessed Us All.

[@MarioantonioPena-eh1de]

Great music when people sing with the heart all day will never be forgotten

[@ATLienForLife]

Philip hit some notes that were unreal, but for me, the 1975 performance will always be THE live version for this song. Hey, you can't go wrong on either. Thanks for the upload.

[@impacking]

R. I. P. Don Myrick

[@wandawandittybradley7970]

He is so feeling this song and I'm feeling him

[@maribrunson4464]

His vocal skills are impeccable.

[@GabrielRodriguez-wo8rd]

I'm with you brother, I've seen Philip Bailey many times in person, but man this performance is "AMAZING" one of a kind, showing his true "VOCAL" gift 🎤🎵🎶🙏

[@josefaantonio3518]

I love this guy.

[@hovelarde]

That second part of the song sounds like a mixture of smooth jazz with bossa nova. Very relaxing. I picture myself on a beach in the caribbean when I listen to that portion.

[@lilmobop]

I'm on the same beach listening!!!!

[@louiecolon9494]

Wow, this was a beautiful performance. what a voice.

[@maryannmorabe2473]

I came to a conclusion after listining over & over again, that this version was indeed the best, thep ianist/organist was awesome eps. the 2:58 to3:11, its sooo good, thank you Kevin Wallace👍

[@mytruckisarobot3591]

WOW he sings so high til the Angels could hear,. AMAZING!!!🎶🎶🎼🎵🎤🎷🎸🪕🎻🥁🎹🎵🎤

[@kathidillard1052]

I felt this in my soul❤❤❤

[@Logoned]

Damn, this cat's not human. What a voice. RIP Maurice

[@abrahamsmith4248]

That's Philip

[@Logoned]

@@abrahamsmith4248 Philip is the singer who I think is amazing. Maurice, imo, was the genius behind their sound, he was also the drummer who died several years ago. I was in a band in the 70's that covered this song

[@JazzDelAnkh]

This song pierces the soul like no other!

[@mdferry2000]

He is the legend....

[@reaguurder-cu5xb]

How is it even possible to sing like that? Amazing...

[@joycego58]

God given gift for Philip. No one can sing like him.

[@carlosmassas5458]

One of the best bands ever assembled....and Philip Baileys voice no one can top!

[@Nanoci62]

MAGICAL … BEST VOICE EVER ❤️❤️❤️

[@wandawandittybradley7970]

Lord Jesus this amazing group will be here October the 17th in my city of Nashville Tennessee and if I only had one wish it would be for him to sing this reasons just like this when he get here that is all I ask the Lord for

[@Quantanthead]

Just saw them back in June. He always sounds exactly the same in this song and others. That's rare from groups that have been around for 40 years like them. This is the best happy feel good music around. I hope to see them again as long as they keep coming around in concert. Thanks for the video.

[@reason5591]

EWF for LIFE ✌💜My favorite male vocalist ever in the universe 😍 I also am a vocalist and have a deep appreciation for Philip in many mannny ways 💖

[@patg-money225]

I had been searching video after video of the best version of Reasons and this one is indeed the best!

[@lindatallon9217]

Otherworldly brilliant....

[@aidanjanemcintosh6919]

I agree, my dad also had quite alot to say of this. According to him (and I can't deny that) the moment David Withworth step up to replace Sheldon Reynolds was one of the best thing ever happened to EWF.

[@hermosaturquia9398]

Extraordinaria voz es un encanto escuchar al maestro Philip y el grupo años y más año y más años y siguen escuchandose como desde un inicio......MIS FAVORITOS GRACIAS TIERRA.VIENTO Y FUEGO!!!

[@rosamartinez9421]

EXCELENTE VERSIÓN. ME FASCINA EWF. MI GRUPO FAVORITO DESDE QUÉ TENGO 14 AÑOS.

[@manueljohnnyrodriguez335]

Felicidades por tener un gusto exelente.

[@aryehmaahes296]

My parents went to school with him growing up singing in the halls!

[@soledadborquezkoren3463]

Simplemente maravilloso!!❤❤

[@virginialpinon748]

And I just keep coming back for more...and they just keep giving it to me

[@henniegoliath7273]

Blessed be the Universe because of You PHILLIP. My earthly and Heavenly BROTHER. Hope you sing all the songs before you left us to the Kingdom. At least let me do " Reasons" Untill we meet." LOVE YOU😇 Hennie Goliath South Africa

[@jesusbalderas8652]

Quién no a bailado ésa Rolota!!! Increíble la interpretación!!! 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

[@simonedias1003]

simplesmente maravilhoso, meu sonho é conhecer esse cara e dizer... Vc eh d+

[@margaretepereira5194]

Linndo é meu sonho tbm

[@n4junkie]

This is the best live version of Reasons!!!!

[@johnathanbrown5313]

This is better than just the original version of reasons.

[@nadine.b4863]

WOW!!! His voice is unic 😍😍😍😍

[@TheBlackkat63]

Wow Phil ; this was so delightful and smooth🥰😌

[@joycego58]

Only Philip can sing this song the way it's meant to be.

[@kaka7279100]

i think when i seen them in 1976,77,78 they sound the best!

[@rickdj]

I posted this exact same video but unfortunately KZbin took it down sometime ago I was at that actual concert and I was absolutely blown away and devastated by Philip Bailey's vocal register! He and a very few slim performers out there have what is called the whistle register in their voice. Simply mean that they can hit extremely high pitched notes. Only a rare handful of people in the world can do that. Thank you God for a creating this man with the absolutely incredible voice that will live on now and into the future

[@trevabutler9731]

Standing ovation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@TheStampedehero]

My wife and I (36 years) recently were in a E W&F concert. You just can't find better live acts like this. Perhaps TOP and McCartney are in the same stratosphere. This band is in a place of its own A Legend.

[@brendawilliams2197]

PHILLIP, SAANNGG!!

[@waynelynch3862]

2:10 My glass of tea broke:)♥

[@wandawandittybradley7970]

Phillip feels his craft just take a listen to him scat

[@luffyzoro4270]

OMG. I do not knew this version. I love the EWF.

[@lindatallon9217]

He is in the ZONE...

[@joseluismendezmunguia]

¡¡como suena esta melodia de vivencias y hemociones sutiles¡¡¡

[@felmarmationg1102]

P. bailey’s falsetto is legendary!

[@derekllovelot3516]

No one can beat Philip my man

[@gautamdevgun333]

There are a lot of whistle register singers. But I have not seen one falsetto singer who can hit such high notes with such precision, power, and with such girthy texture. He is one of my favourite singer from the popular music singers in the US.

[@lincolnmcknight8844]

Awesome 👍👍

[@kmaur21]

His high notes is somethin else lol

[@maryannmorabe2473]

I admit this version was also best aside fr the velferre live versuon, its so good for me to listened, philip bailey was amacing his voice😘

[@francoiseschulz8147]

Magnifique

[@giovannimatteucci6759]

Grandissimi EWF i miei favoriti da sempre, il piu grande gruppo del diciannovesimo secolo.

[@IvanPradofodera]

[@sherrysingleton5265]

He sure can scream! 😩😩😩😆😜🖐🏽👋🏾👋🏾👋🏾🖐🏽👋🏾🖐🏽😱😱😱😱💤💤💤💤

[@katl1366]

whoa

[@debbiebrown1620]

tres perfecto

[@nathanieldavis5231]

PHILLIP THE GREAT , when The Big Guy made his voice He thought ,this will get their attention. YEP.

[@leevuong8843]

Hmmmm. Very nice indeed. But I am still partial to the live version on the "Gratitude" LP ;-)

[@thejakker6369]

The "reason" I picked up the sax...😁

[@skylerwilliams6928]

he sounds like cole from martin doing the bird calls

[@aryehmaahes296]

U a fool

[@gregoryhandy9584]

Wasn''t this from the tour with Chicago?

[@zoiodividro]

+Gregory Handy Yes!

[@TheJAllenWalker]

Gregory Handy yup. Live at the Greek Theater - 2004

[@BassmanII]

Their FIRST joint tour. They subsequently toured together three more times.

[@tiffanyh1274]

Well dang he ain’t playing

[@luizcarlosdesales692]

Não é. Possível acreditar que. Líder. Da banda. Faleceu é uma. Pena. Só. Lembranças. Maurício. White

[@victordavid2558]

BELLA VERSION

[@johnnystewart83]

Philip Bailey!!! EW&F.....Numero Uno Group!

[@houseofpainthehouseofpain]

Marcianou On Vocal.

[@anthonymann3413]

He's a Martian

[@kdt1263]

This version does not compare to the live version on the Gratitude album not even close.

[@DavyBoy-yo6wb]

Baaaaaaddddddddd Aaaaaassssssssed

[@tonygauff5610]

Im a bigger fan now then in the 70s 80s, I guess i was to busy performing clubs and concerts my self. cdbaby.com/tonygauff itunes.com/tonygauff

[@mistycosta8171]

stay

[@oobrocks]

For the channel: would it have killed u to simply let us hear the clapping until it stopped? 😢

[@kuricocomini6111]

I am sorry melody is good but Philip's Falsetto……😓

[@nobodyhere100]

kuricoco mini his falsetto is amazing

[@RedAlEarttDramaMeanWhoDat]

Yeah, that sax player is mediocre at best... He'd be better off copying Don Myrick's solo since his own ideas are boring & not hip at all. And sorry to say it buy Phillip's voice is just too damaged these days. He shouldn't be doing that schtick on "REASONS" anymore. Back in the '70s/'80s there was no one better -- He's one of my main influences as a singer but even his melody choices here are nothing to write home about.

[@Alexthegreat27]

Philip is a vocal GOD. Truly an all time great from an all-time band. Missing ya lots Maurice...🙏

[@deboraaparecida1541]

Philip Bailey👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🌼🌻
