Earth, Wind & Fire Tickets

The answer is a party of epic proportion! Chicago / Earth, Wind, and Fire brought the house down in Charlotte. This is the third time they have toured together and the first time they played in Charlotte's Time Warner Arena (where the Bobcats play). This was a great show and both bands were definitely "on" for the performance. Each band has a tremendous library of hits to draw from and you got to hear many of them. However, the party kicked into high gear when these super-groups joined forces and jammed together. I would only suggest going to this concert under the following conditions: 1) If you want to party and 2) If you're breathing!!! Best concert I've been to in years.

I may be a little younger than most that went to the concert but that has got to have been the most wonderful and memorable concert I have been to! If you haven't see these two groups live in action....you're missing out on life!

We enjoyed ourselves so much! It was great to see people enjoying themselves without reservation. The songs will never die! We got to relive a part of our youth with others who truly appreciated it. The bands were ageless and priceless. Everytime I hear one of their songs I'm instantly back to the concert.

It was so great to be able to see and hear legends like Chicago and Earth, Wind & Fire! These guys know how to rock the house. I was able to come to the front near the stage for the latter 1/3 of the concert. What a show! Highly recommended!!!

I didn't expect performers as well seasoned as they are to have that much energy. I don't know where they get it but I'd like to know. The older guys, the younger guys, they all put it together for one hell of a show. And the wharf couldn't have been a prettier and more personal venue, you can't get a bad seat.

Earth Wind & Fire is simply amazing. Not only do they sing all of their hits, and sound as good as the originals if not better. They display unbridled energy and enthusiasm throughout each song. Every band member is constantly moving and dancing. Amazing enough is the brass section which dances while playing impeccably, but bass player Verdine White is a pure dynamo of energy. Philip Bailey is wonderful and continues to delight fans with his beautiful voice and ear shattering falsettos. Chicago is very entertaining and rewards their fans with a medley of their numerous hits. It is great fun to watch these two incredible bands play together. You can see how much they truly respect each other and enjoy playing together. It is an absolute treat to see these two legendary bands play together in concert. You don't want to miss this.

Chicago was great. EWF alone would have been OK. But, to put EWF with Chicago destroyed the impact of Chicago's music.

This was the best concert! I could have listened all night. The muscians, the songs, the sets, the lights, the colors, it was all fantastic. Its difficult to go to other concerts because my expectations are so high. I'd forgotten how much I enjoyed the dancing and interaction with the audience.

First time attending a concert at the Time Warner arena. Must say I am very impressed at the facilitiy - one of the better venues I have been to as of late. Def beats the typical ampitheater schlock. Parking was fine - ample & affordable for a large downtown area. Noticed venue was very close to mass transit - which is a plus if you live in the area. Close to the interstate - signage could be a bit better but GPS solves that. Entrance to the facility was quick & easy. Signage for floor seating was lacking, but attendants were quick to point us in the proper direction. LOVED the small areas that you could get a drink without leaving the concert area - very nice touch. Amenities such as these were def thought of when the venue was being built. Floor seating was a bit meh - we were in the front of the second section of seats, a little over 1/2 way back on the floor. Many venues w/ temp floor seating will have sloped risers for the chairs - but none here so it was a little hard to see. I am 5'7" and had a bit of a hard time seeing - I felt really bad for the 5' nothing lady beside me - she had to resort to standing on a chair! Also - she was getting squished by a very large lady next to her who was literally taking up 1/2 of this lady's seat- seriously ppl, you know these seats aren't barcaloungers - if you are on the hefty side - buy an extra seat or sit on the end of the row! ON TO THE SHOW - have seen Chicago many, many, times, and have seen them w/ EWF each year they have toured together. Sound was pretty good - not the best, but not the worst. Loved that the bands opened together for a few songs - EWF does a great job getting the crowd going for the night. Not a huge EWF fan but LOVE Phillip Bailey and I could listen to him sing the phone book. A true talent! The Chicago set, well, was basically the same friggin set that has been played for the last oh, 10 years or so. They swap out a couple of songs from year to year, but no surprises. At least they didn't play the whole Ballad this time. I simply do not understand why a band that tours EVERY year would not mix it up a bit more and throw a couple of deep cuts for the die-hard fans. Seeing as we are the ones keeping them in business every year! Combined end set w/ both bands was great - again - EWF really brings the voltage and gives CHI a run for their money.

The show was awesome! I felt as if I walked back in timee and enjoyed every minute of it...sang every song....and danced all nite.

I grew up listening to both bands from the time of their first hits and this was my first live concert with each band. No words can describe what it meant to finally see EW&F. They remain a cultural phenom that is spiritual, historical, futuristic, emotional and funky all at the same time. Their positive lyrics raise the bar above 90% of what masquerades as music on pop and r&b radio today. Adding the big horn sound of Chicago to the same stage only added to the experience. This is another band with a message for thinking people (Dialogue!!!) that takes me back to the 60's and 70's movement music. From what I could tell, I was one of few who knew the words to most of the songs by both bands!!

Both of these bands have been playing since the 60s which is a little before my time, but I remember my parents listening to them on a reel to reel player growing up. Gotta admit....these guys rock for their age. When both bands played together, it was amazing. This is the first concert I went to where everyone in the audience was standing up and dancing. If you get a chance to go, I would definitely recommend it. Well worth the money.

I loved every minute of it. The bands play great together. They looked like they truely enjoy playing together.

Amazing, amazing concert! The energy that Earth, Wind & Fire brought had the whole place rocking.

The Earth Wind and Fire/Chicago concert was better this time than when I saw them in Virginia a few years ago. The concert at Merriweather appeared to be more organized. They have been practicing. The bands easily play each others songs. With more singers, guitars, horns and drums, it is just impressive. The bands are really onto something. I don't believe Merriweather was a sellout, but you couldn't tell. I brought two of my sons with me this year. This concert was at such a high level, that even my cynical 22 year old called it amazing.

The concert was truly amazing! My husband and I enjoyed it so much that we are going to see them again in August when they appear at Chastain Park...truly an amazing show....they performed so many songs!!!it was a superb show. I just can't say enough about it!!!!.

Earth, Wind and Fire carried the show. While Chicago's Music was tight, Chicago is in desperate need of a singer. Earth, Wind and Fire made it an unforgettable show.

One of the better concerts I've seen in a long time. Both bands, 8 members of Chicago and 11 members of EWf opened the show TOGETHER playing Beginnings. They then proceeded to play an EWF song then another by Chicago. Chicago then left the stage and EWF played an hour set before a break then Chicago came back for an hour set playing most all of their hits. Each band also played a couple of songs by the other and the encore brought both bands back together for a four song, two each grand finale finishing with a jammin version of Free.

What a truly enjoyable way to spend our 32nd wedding anniversary. Great entertainers, great music, great memories! My wife and I regressed a good thirty years and had a wonderful time. I was a musician in college back when both of these groups really started to make it big and their music is just as awesome now as it was then.

It was awesome to see the intermingling of the two bands in what appeared to be organized chaos. 3 hours of singing along to fantastic songs, and dancing uncontrollably to hyptnotizing rhythms.
