Without Peter Cetera Chicago looks like an old bunch of guys that can't really sing all that well. I tried again to send it back but couldn't get Amazon to take it back a second time.
The rest of it is crappy in quality of the disc and the performers. If all you are going to listen to is the EWF set you will probably like this disc.
The portion of this concert that features Earth, Wind and Fire is great. I sent it back to Amazon and they sent me a new copy that did the same thing.
Unfortunately the Chicago set is drab.
What's even worse the first copy I received of this concert got through to the third song of the Chicago set and blitzed out and then froze on the screen.
I think they were tired and voices were stressed. Being a Chicago fan from their beginning only made it that much more enticing. I guess my hope was to hear a recreation of the groups of old rather than an odd reincarnation. I appreciate that various members have changed but the replacements weren't very good.
After reading the reviews for this concert, I thought it would be an excellent addition to my library. There were a few good pieces with great instrumental sections that did evoke the groups of old. 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 have many concerts that I view frequently that are both great concerts and have been expertly edited for both video and sound.
Weak voices trying to put their own spin on the vocals was distracting. I regret having purchased this disc. I was looking for another high quality, BluRay concert that would be a good demo for my home theater system. Unfortunately, I was disappointed with the voices.
You can tell that they are having a great and fun time together. The best part of the concert is when Chicago and Earth Wind & Fire get together on stage and play on each other's songs. I was bummed that I missed this concert in 2004 BUT they are gonna' do it again in Summer 2009 and I will be there baby.Sweeeeeeet. I have never enjoyed a concert on DVD such as this one. The hits just keep a coming.
When these bands perform together it is nothing short of perfection and this disc captures the spirit and power of both groups during this very special and popular tour. This DVD is the next best thing to being there. I attended a show in the Bay Area in 2004 and the place was electric.
Talent galore. If you like these groups separately, you'll love them together. Thanks for speedy shipping. I've been to concerts that both groups have performed and would never have dreamed of seeing them together. What a concert.
