Earth, Wind & Fire Live in Japan 1988 

本当かっこいいわ✨ 母がEW&Fのファンでした😍 私は1985年生まれ。14歳の時に、母が昔買ったレコード📀を漁っていて、MJ、D.Summer、L.Richieなどたくさんの種類の音楽がある中にEW&Fがありました。興味本位で聴いたあの日から今日まで、EW&Fの音楽を楽しんでいます🎼 20年ほど前ですが、来日コンサートへ母と2回行きました。 しかしその時Mauriseは不在でした。 長生きしてほしかったです😢 今日も仕事の帰りに、車の中で彼らの音楽を流しながら熱唱しましたよ❤ 大好きEW&F❤From Japan🇯🇵

Nobody has this kind of energy these days. We didn't know how good we had it back then!!

I sometimes feel like I was born in the wrong era because here I am listening mainly to music that is 2x or 3x the age I am and also wishing to go back in time to watch them perform. The artist of today will never match them. They are the best!

WELL I WILL NEVER EVER UNDERSTAND HOW 147 HUMAN BEINGS CAN "UNLIKE" THIS VIDEO.....RIP MAURICE... I LOVED YOU, I LOVE YOU AND I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU.

You must know that I watched and listened too far in 1976 in my small country Serbia EWF, absolutely unaware that I was watching and listening to the eighth wonder of the world. I am thankful, Lord God. I am a privileged person.

モーリスホワイトさん、もっと生きてほしかった。素晴らしかった、最高でした。

I was there at that moment in Budokan, Tokyo, June 2, 1988.The concert hall was filled with feverish excitement.I never forget you Maurice.God bless you.

I saw this show at the Pacific Amphitheater in Costa Mesa, Ca. Got into the arena early and was casually walking around when I saw that Philip Bailey was right in front of me. It looked to me that he had just greeted friends there for the show. No one else around me seemed to recognize who he was. But I did. So I approached him, shook his hand, and told him how much I loved him and the band, and that was it. My girlfriend at the time got a hug and kiss on the cheek.

このライヴの場にいました。また見ることが出来て、その時の感動が甦りました。動画upしてくださった方、感謝します。有難うございます。

I seen EWF in Buffalo NY August 25 1973 I had to fight to see them cause too young but EWF goes down in History Best day of my Life I was 17 ❤❤❤

In this year of 2016 we have lost some true icons of the music industry, RIP Maurice White. The music will live forever

Thee "BEST" Soul ,Rythmn and Blues Band! Best vocals, best musicians, best background vocals best, Horn section, and a Dancing music Band!!!!!!

EARTHのファンだったわたしは、当時ドラマーの彼と野外コンサートに行き私はモーリスの真ん前で、この人の足の長さは本物か、また、誰がどの声出してるのか、しっかり確認しました、綺麗なハーモニー、興奮しっぱなしでした、彼はアンプの近くに居てしっかり音を楽しんでいたようでしたわすれない、モーリスの前で舞台に手をついて見て聴いたことモーリスにもう会え無いけど、声全て忘れません！EARTH永遠であれ！モーリス安らかに❤

This music helped us survive in the 70s and know our worth. Very positive and uplifting.

I had the privilege of spending time with Mr. "MO" White at The Sony Music Studio in Santa Monica CA. back in the early 90's assisting Mr. White on behalf of Sony/Columbia Records. Mr. "MO" White assisted I call him "MO" handed Me The DAT Tape of The Greatest Cobollation Album in 1992 to Secure It then give it to the Currier when he arrived and was cleared by the security. I'm a child of the 60's and the 70's now I've been Guitar for over forty plus years and I have MO White and Every Member of EWF to Thank for it.

Thank you so much up nice movie ．素敵な動画ありがとうございます。時代をリアルで共有できなかった自分にとって、珠玉の動画です。すごいバンド！モーリスは天に召されたとのことですが、メディアの中で永遠に生きている。

Verdine White is phenomenal. This man has so much energy and doesn't miss a chord on the bass

Best front man in the history of music. Never has been and never will be a better one! RIP Sir

The best band of the World.

Pretty amazing this African-American soul music touched the far reaches of Japan. Full proof of the power of music to transcend differences.

This is the music this world needs now!!!!

EARTH WIND & FIRE BEST GROUP AND BAND EVER .. R.I.P. MAURICE WHITE!!!

THE COOLEST BAND OF THE UNIVERSE! OMG, THANK YOU LORD FOR MR MAURICE WHITE AND THIS INCREDIBLE BAND.

How we truly miss you Maurice.. Rest in peace.

Maurice White.....best band leader EVER.....HANDS DOWN !!!

RIP, Maurice White, & all members of EWF who have passed.

Maurice White, the architect of the absolute greatest band in all the land..

Maurice is music, I think God I saw the EWF when I was a teenager, back In 1970's early when they became cross over shining star, I did not care they were cross over only thing I knew Maurice was the mastro , and as a teenager between 13 or 15 I saw a great man who happens to be a genius Maurice, a nice humble man who love his band and respect them, I never heard anything negative about Maurice, he did not want to his band to do drugs and to me that says alot about him, Philip, Ralph Johnson verdine white, woolfolk are left at this 1988 concert , EWF could made a living playing jazz or africano, classical music and That's how gifted they are, even in 2018, they still can make aliving just playing their instruments, Love Maurice thanks for the great performance at Madison square garden, and your love for great music, and you beautiful smile, humbleness, all the awards that have been given too you, well deserved my dear dear sir, RIP I am just watching this concert , I have not seen before, all there shows are not the same , last performance I saw was 1979. May Jehovah be with your family, friends and your fans, they are millions of new ones, see you in Paradise. thanks again EWF.

UNFORGETTABLE MAURICE WHITE'S presence was greatness

I was blessed to have seen Earth, Wind & Fire in my lifetime....Amazing!!!! Love you, Maurice White...

RIP BROTHER MAURICE WHITE, WE LOVE YOUR MUSIC FOREVER AND EVER; EARTH WIND AND FIRE GREATEST GROUP EVER!

It is hard to see EWF without the great Maurice White! Truly the Earth misses his genius!

Possibly the most underrated band on the planet

Truly one of the greatest musician, songwriter, singer ever!!!!!..I love you as if you were family, so very happy that my husband and I were able to see you live in concert!..Rest in Paradise Maurice White... Much Love! Cynthia Duncan

I grew up listening to Earth Wind and Fire from 1971-Present, and I appreciate their extremely high level of musicianship, talent, and professionalism, but what good is it to live your dream in this life, only to wake up to the reality of an eternal nightmare? A living dog is better than a dead lion. If you find your life in this world, you’ll lose your eternal life, or what shall it profit a man if he gain the world and lose his soul, or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

Rest in peace Maurice White. Such a great singer. Awesome voice. He really was such a talented person.

when Philip Bailey sings You in I .... he is so emotional. ... what a song....Wow..

アースは私の青春でした♪ありがとうございます♪

Sonny Emory is my favorite Drummer when I was a kid.

Thank You, Maurice White! You are the best!

A legend has left us. R I P Maurice White and thank you for all the gifts you gave us.

Maurice gave us all a soundtrack to life, what an amazing legacy, so much happiness.

Mauriceかっこ良くてセクシー,決めポ―ズいつもかっこ良かった。リ―ダ―として歌声もかっこ良くとにかくかっこ良い存在だった。

RIP Maurice. You are our shining star.

The Horns!The Horns! And it seemed as though every person in the band was multi-skilled... Wow--EW&F never failed to lift me up..& still do in this hellish year of 2021; year of the hateful Corona-19 Virus- Pandemic!🎉🎉🎊🎊🎉🎉

この時代の日本が羨ましい。 今の日本にこんな音楽がないのが悔しい。

Thank you, T Grace!

One of the best concerts of all times.

I already miss Maurice White..I love seeing him dance.RIP. Love you.

THE BEST group of musicians EVERRRRR! I look at some of the performers today, and although they're good, there's NO comparison to EWF!!

Musicianship at its best.

The voice was the one and only James Earl Jones, absolutely out of this world.

モーリス素晴らしい音楽をたくさん×2ありがとう・

Blown away The Elements is on FIRE 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥!!!!!

Their best concert in the 1980's were in 1983 when they had most of the original band members like Larry Dunn, Fred White, Don Myrick and Johnny Graham.

I love seeing this video of Earth Wind & Fire concert. The brilliant performance is very creative and out of this world!!! That goes to show the true Genius of Maurice White is legendary. 🔥

The Baddest Band On The Planet Rest In Paradise Maurice White

Shout out to Vance Taylor on the keyboards! Incredible player

This true music. Many times I just get in my pool in the mornings before I go to work.I'll put on some of their music and just dance in the pool for an hour or two. Lord has blessed them with such talent. And he's also blessed me and others with them as a group. What time is it in Carolina? God, Lord. I'm so grateful for this group when I hear many. Of the songs it makes me cry. It really helps me get to hard time. S I'm a nursometimes I have to witness some really, really bad. Things with people getting sick when they listen to us.When it really helps me keep bound to my life god bless you all

Saw this same show 88 in Atlantic City, front row. Last time I saw Maurice live. Was so blessed to have experienced their musical travel over 40 years....there will never be another like you...rest eternally....

It's good to remember how Maurice was a true master musician and song innovator. RIP Mr. White, I hope you are performing for the BIG MAN IN THE SKY and is probably enjoying your music as we did and still.do.

JAMES EARL JONES INTRODUCTION TO THE LEGENDARY EARTH WIND AND FIRE IN CONCERT!

Great Music

RIP Maurice White - love you!

Bless. Maurice still looked so healthy and vital here. What a great talent and a true gentleman. He'll be sorely missed.

I saw this same show when they reunited at the old Capitol Centre in Landover, MD in January 1988. Was the last time I saw Maurice live. Six years later in 1994 they came to George Mason University Patriot Center in Fairfax, VA to support the MILLENNIUM CD without Maurice. People in the audience were like WHAT IS EWF without Maurice? Well as awkward as it was they have been amazing in the 21 years since Reese retired.

I was only 3 years old during this time and Year 2022, I am still loving the music of Earth, Wind & Fire! One of the vey best legends of music indeed! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Your music is forever no end. Thank-you men and guys. あなた方の音楽は永遠だ。

This is their 2nd time visit to Japan, and it’s my 1st time that I ever seen their show in person. They have visited Japan many times after this, but I’ll never forget that excitement of this 1988 show.

Andrew Woolfolk....best sax ever

Was most honored to seen them live when the hit Lets Groove was released in 82 and again in 98 . But ironically in 98 Maurice was no longer performing due to the onset his illness . Really miss him as I watch this video .
