The show was good. I was a tad disappointed as I wasn’t born when these bands were in their prime with all original members and with replacements it just doesn’t feel the same. Both bands played together for the opening which was Chicago’s tune Beginnings. While not quite as long as the original it was an interesting mix with the two groups playing. Earth, Wind and Fire played a set that started out with high energy but quickly dissolved into their standard ballads. It seemed like forever until they played September. Chicago came out next and played many of their slower songs from the 80′s which made the concert seem slow and dramatic. I started to wonder if I’d get to hear the only two songs I came for: Does Anyone Know What Time it is? and 25 or 6 to 4. Alas, when EWF came out for the close to join them, they played the songs!

Overall it was a nice experience, save for the $30 for two hot dogs and two beers. I’m glad I got to see them but wish I was alive in the early 70′s to see these guys and many of the other band of that period.
