Absolutely GREAT!!

The MJM experience

Earth Wind and Fire

Red Rocks Amphitheatre, Morrison Colorado   9/23/08

I attended the EWF show to specifically see Philip Bailey sing. I  had missed the band's shows over the years but made sure to make this one. I have been a fan of EWF since the early '70's. This 11 piece band (The EWF Horns (3), 2 guitarists, Drummer, Bass, Keyboardist and the 3 front singers is one one the tightest bands I have ever seen live and I've seen quite a few.

They started with Boogie Wonderland and cruised through all the hits including: September, Let's Groove, Reasons, Sing a Song, Got to get you into my life, That's the way of the world, Shining Star, After the love has gone among others.

They played a great set which lasted almost 2 hours which included a 2 song encore.

I was able to obtain After show passes and meet one of my favorite singers Philip Bailey and a few of the other members.

Philip was very, very nice to talk to as were all the guys and they accommodated every one, wether it was a photo or autograph.

Michael McDonald opened the show and was also very good.

Here are some photos from the show.

I have met Verdine a few times and I think he seems to have an issue looking into the camera.

My second time seeing the "GREAT" Philip Bailey. EWF did a fantastic set of about two hours on this rainy and cool evening. They play all the classics and a few deep cuts as well.
