@Darrylbpoagent 3 года назад

Many don't know that Maurice White-Leader, Fred White-Drummer, and Verdine White- Bass were brothers. Bands with family at the core have a certain chemistry that is great to watch.

@RoninAliNowOn 2 года назад

And that was MANY of them! Sly & The Family Stone, Mandrill, Kool & The Gang, Sister Sledge ( I mean...) Midnight Starr, Heatwave, etc.

I saw EWF at the Neil Blaisedell Center in Honolulu... They played over two hours continuously when they were in their Pyramid Power Genre. Shook the hands of one of the the band members from the lodge balcony. Always loved them, their music, and the enjoyment and fun and beauty of it all... Aloha

Greatest American band. I stand by that.

Simone Spanu Def one of the best. Live, Stevie Wonder, Journey (in the 80’s), The Eagles were all also outstanding live. Flawless harmonies, tight rhythm sections, and great energy.

@hermonbluesmaclin-theboogi6830 2 года назад

I remember performing on stage when microphones had cords. Making sure the cords didn't get tangled was built into the choreography. Needless to say, EWF was amazing! We all looked up to them as artists and role models.

@angusorvid8840 Год назад

Yes. Me too! I played guitar in a lot of jazz, funk, r and b and rock bands and those chords were a hazard. With the jazz bands it wasn't so bad because we didn't move around, just kind of stayed in place. I remember the first wireless I got was a Samson. It was a good unit, used it for a long time. I got a better wireless now that was less expensive even with inflation factored in. I was never in a band that was at the level of EWF. None of my bands lasted that long. But man, what a career EWF had. Their shows were like a visit from God and the angels. Loved the energy, the production, the vibe. They had so much brass up on that stage it was blinding, like golden rays from the sun. I just loved it. Verdine is a badass bass player, up there with Larry Graham, Lewis Johnson, Bootsy, etc.

Went to this tour at Nassau Coliseum and MSG . The peak and zenith of one of the greatest bands of all time! The genius of Maurice White! One of the most under appreciated producer, arranger, innovator, musician, vocalist, leader and entertainer of all time. He set a standard of excellence that few will ever come close to. Maurice proved that musical excellence and sophistication can also be extremely successful. REST IN ETERNAL PEACE !

My sister took me to see EWF in 1977, for my 10th birthday. The Brothers Johnson opened for them. Los Angeles Forum. Better than Disneyland, and I love Disneyland. I asked what the funny smell in the smokey air was and my sister said she would explain that smokey smell when I got a little older...haha. Bruno reminds me of the "whole band" concept and entertaining from the starting bell to the ending bell. And when you leave, you are forever changed, in a good way. I have only seen Bruno on television but my daughter saw Bruno live and her reaction was just like my reaction to EWF in 1977.
