I saw Earth, Wind & Fire in August 2016 at the Borgata Casino in Atlantic City. Oh my goodness, they were INCREDIBLE. Best concert I've ever attended, and I've seen Elton John, Stevie Wonder, and The Revolution. I'm hoping to see them again when they come to Philly.

Yeah I saw EWF 4 years ago. Even a little drizzle at the beginning of the show didn't stop fans from dancing the whole show. They were very good. Not impressed with Phillip Bailey's son singing as a vocalist. Don't laugh at my funk
This funk is a serious joint | |

new interviews You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |
