Description

This briliant performance was recorded live at the Oakland Coliseum, December 30 and 31, 1981, with the sound, the hard-driving rhythms, the soothing melodies, the scintillating horns and special effects that have dazzled concertgoers around the world. Maurice White, the founder and driving force behind Earth, Wind & Fire has done it again: blending the energy, music and creativity that is Earth, Wind & Fire.

Lots of overdub but still is GREAT music.......2006-02-27

I've watch this concert in VHS format while i was a little kid. I didn't notice back then that this concert had a lot of overdubs in it. It did dissapoint me a bit after I found out about the overdubs, but if you just ignore that a lot of the sound did not sync with the players movement, and just focusing on the sound of the MUSIC they produced, it's a GREAT piece of music anyway. I think one of the best they've made. And the live vibe is still there despite all the overdubs. So, appreciate the great music, and just enjoy the picture as a bonus...

A Classic Time Capsule.......2006-02-12

This DVD is a fantastic time machine back to 1981, to the peak of the performing career of EWF. All original Band, original mixing and song layout. However, i think theres something to be said about the less-than-perfect sound quality. I attribute that to the fact that the recording is so old. Other than that, it doesnt bother me that much. THe DVD is fantastic, and wildly entertaining, as EWF's elaborate and flamboyant 1980's costumes light up the stage almost as much as the energy of Phillip Bailey, Ralph Johnson, Maurice White and Verdine White.

Ill recommend this DVD to anyone who wants to see EWF in their heyday, however if youre looking for truly dazzling musicianship, then probably stick to the later DVD's after they've hired Morris Pleasure as their musical director.

Overall, I can't give this DVD any sort of bad review though, because what you're buying here is more of a "look into the glorious past".

9 out of 10 stars.

Fake and Corny........2005-08-14

First of all, let me preface my review by telling you that I am a huge EWF fan. But this video performance leaves me stone cold. Not only is the musical performance faked. But the performance itself looks staged.

It looks like a few actual live shots were added into the video along with the mostly staged shots. And as a result, the video (excluding "That's the way of the World") comes off rather insipid. That's a shame because EWF has always had a special bond with the audience. That's mostly missing here.

Also, the Darth Vader/Superman act looks rather silly. Although the laser holographic Eagle is fantastic. I remember attending the same tour and that opening was much longer and LOUDER than presented on the video.

EWF's videography contains far more exciting performances- like the "Live in Japan" DVD. A better option is the "Chicago/EWF Live at the Greek" DVD (no Maurice though). Or better still, get the SACD version of "Gratitude" and use your imagination.

THEIR BEST CONCERT ON DVD!.......2005-03-18

I gave it 4 stars because, it's only 1 hour long,
and it doesn't have, After the love is gone. Why
is this still the only EWF concert out, of them
in their prime? I know there's more great footage
out there! You can buy this dvd for $15.29 at
([...]) Sorry Amazon, but you're
over priced on this item.

Missing elements!.......2004-06-23

Excellent representation of the GREATEST BAND Ever! However, No Kalimba, NO Levitation, No Pyramid, The essence is missing! EW&F Definitely "Showed Up and Out" on this concert; Just without those three unique elements to their show....leaves a bit to be desired. If You can get that All-n-All concert tour on DVD, I'd definitely buy that also.

telenovela film.......2006-03-08

With its overacting and over-staged performances, this may have been a movie-length work, but it still resembled a telenovela.

With its airport sequences, this film attempts to riff off of Almadovar's "Women on the Verge," but fails. It also tries to deal with post-911 life. However, Spike Lee's "25th Hour" beats this work with a bat.

The most interesting sequences of the trilogy involved a married man with a boyfriend. Do you remember in "Human Nature" when Madonna asks, "Would you like me better if I were?" This storyline ends however viewers want to see it as. This is just like in the French film "Cafe au Lait" when one doesn't find out who is the biological father.

This disc starts with movie previews that you cannot skip over. Worse, they have no English subtitles and English monoglots will be lost and bored during them.

All the wat Live.......2007-06-08

EWF at their best. To bad they weren't in the US

Earth wind & fire in Japan.......2005-12-16

I love EWF but I was unpleased with what I saw in the dvd. I myself am a bass guitarist like Verdine White the bassist for the EWF band. Verdine is not playing the bass to the songs. Someone off stage or a recording is being played and he is faking. Like I said, I love EWF very much and always will but if they want to really impress me,show me a dvd of the band performing the "GRATITUDE" album in concert. That would be hard to fake. The music was great and Phillip Bailey still got the voice. They are a very energetic band and have excellent showmanship. Over all the performance was ok by my standards but you might feel differently.

Earth, Wind & Fire - Live From Japan.......2005-07-06

This is a must own DVD if you're an EWF fan. While there are other EWF concert DVDs that may have a better version of "Reasons," overall this was one of their best recorded performances.

EWF Live In Japan 1994: Maurice White Is Still In The Band!.......2005-01-03

For the last two decades Earth, Wind & Fire has continued to tour regularly, though they have not come up with much in the way of memorable fresh material to add to a legacy that provided many timeless performances from roughly 1973-1981. As such, on this 1994 Japan concert video -- one of Maurice White's last before illness took him off the stage -- all but a couple of tunes are from the above-mentioned era. However, the performances have too much vitality and freshness for one to think this is just another oldies act going through the motions. Accordingly, this DVD is a good option for those wanting to get a taste of the group near if not quite at the peak of their performing powers. By the way, note that there is also a 1990 Live In Japan DVD, just in case anyone is confused about which tour this video represents.

Although I miss the extended jams (e.g., "Africano") , EWF does offer strong, concise versions of mostly their greatest hits, covering the seventeen tunes in the DVD's one-hour running time (note that several songs are brief interludes), and performed with a full band including a horn section and two female dancers. The between-song moments are edited down, so you get wall-to-wall music which mostly replicates the sound of the original recordings. In general both White and particularly Philip Bailey are in top form vocally, and in-step with the choreographed moments. Still, although his performance doesn't suffer it is a little disconcerting to see White have this "far-away-look" in his eyes at times, leaving one to wonder if this is a sign of things to come (to be fair, it may be unrelated). Nevertheless, I find his presence to be crucial in making this video recommended over any of the post-White EWF DVDs in circulation.

Great concert.......2004-01-02
