Movie Reviews of Chicago/Earth Wind & Fire - Live at the Greek Theatre
Movie Review: Disappointing
Summary: 1 Stars
After reading the reviews for this concert, I thought it would be an excellent addition to my library. I have many concerts that I view frequently that are both great concerts and have been expertly edited for both video and sound. I was looking for another high quality, BluRay concert that would be a good demo for my home theater system. Being a Chicago fan from their beginning only made it that much more enticing. Unfortunately, I was disappointed with the voices. I appreciate that various members have changed but the replacements weren't very good. Weak voices trying to put their own spin on the vocals was distracting. I guess my hope was to hear a recreation of the groups of old rather than an odd reincarnation. One of the comments at the beginning of the disc was that this was their third night in LA and this concert was being taped.I ended up fast forwarding through many of the songs. I think they were tired and voices were stressed. There were a few good pieces with great instrumental sections that did evoke the groups of old. I regret having purchased this disc.
Summary of Chicago/Earth Wind & Fire - Live at the Greek Theatre
The teaming of the legendary groups Chicago and Earth, Wind & Fire created the tour hit of summer 2004. Playing to sold-out venues, the Grammy-winning artists were united on stage for a set of energetic performances of thie numerous #1 and Top 10 chart hits. All the excitement of the final show of the tour was captured in high-definition for this extraordinary DVD, filmed in Los Angeles at the Greek Theatre.The '70s and '80s rule as two of the most popular bands from that era join forces on Chicago/Earth Wind & Fire - Live at the Greek Theatre, a two-disc, nearly three-hour concert recorded in Los Angeles in 2004. These groups scored dozens of hits in their heydays, and if neither has come up with much of anything that's new in the past two decades, the sold-out audience at the Greek Theatre could hardly care less. Both Chicago and Earth, Wind & Fire, have soldiered on despite key personnel changes over the years (Chicago bassist-singer Peter Cetera and EWF founder Maurice White are long gone, and much missed); here they perform energetic and tasteful versions of everything from "Make Me Smile," "I'm a Man," and "Saturday in the Park" (Chicago) to "That's the Way of the World," "Fantasy," and "Serpentine Fire" (EWF), among many others, to rapturous response. Nothing too exciting about all of that--in fact, it's a bit like witnessing a couple of very skilled tribute bands at work--but there are a few surprises, as when Chicago keyboardist-singer Bill Champlin takes the lead on "After the Love Has Gone" (which he co-wrote) and EWF singer Philip Bailey returns the favor on Chicago's "If You Leave Me Now." The highlights are the first and last portions of the show, when the two bands (complete with horn sections) share the stage for "September," "25 or 6 to 4," "Shining Star," and more, displaying genuine joy at performing together and generating a huge, infectious sound delivered with high definition visuals and digital audio. --Sam Graham
