Chicago and EWF Rock the Rock One recent October weekend, I had the fortune to see two great bands perform live at ALLTEL Arena in Little Rock. You younger folks may laugh, but it was probably the best show I've ever been to. Chicago co-headlining with Earth Wind and Fire.
Keep in mind, that I haven't been to a concert in years because I refuse to pay skyrocketing ticket prices and especially the Ticketmaster surcharges. It's just outrageous and I'd rather spend my money on other things. However, my good friend Suzanne invited me and I feel so lucky to have seen them.
The two groups played several songs together including 2 drummers. It was spectacular! EWF then took over and played an incredibley tight set of all their famous groove/funk hits. I was musically drooling it was THAT good. The songs, the vocals, the horns, the dancing.... man you just wouldn't believe me. Chicago then came out and played an equally impressive set that just begged for more and more. Almost sensory overload! They finished up with another couple of songs together.
If you haven't heard them in a while, check out the bands on their websites (linked above). Go out and buy the CD's. I know I am. P.S. Thank you Suzanne! It was awesome!
