Y'all, I am beyond excited!
On June 6th we'll be seeing two of my all time favorite bands: Earth Wind and Fire and Chicago~in concert in Atlanta!!!!!! We missed them the last time they toured in our part of the country, but not this time!
Because I'm feeling nostalgic, here are a couple of old videos....both from the 70's. The very first concert I went to was Chicago Transit Authority (as they were called back then) when they preformed in San Antonio. I was 14 years old. My mother had died about 6 weeks before the concert and one of my brothers took me as a special treat.
The Chicago video was (according to youtube) part of a t.v. special that aired on August 16, 1974.
I was 17 years old and a newlywed. I had just gotten married on August 9th, 1974.
Now here I am....52 ...and I love them just as much as I did back then.

I am a HUGE E,W & F fan. Huge!! My parents had the album when I was young. I always sang the backup to September.

ReplyDeleteChicago was awesome, especially in the Terry Kath days. ;-)
ReplyDeleteMaggie: Me too!!!!!!! you sang backup? that's so cute! :)
ReplyDeletefbi: I KNOW! We're very excited! :)
whitenoise: yes, they really were. It amazes me that some of the original members are still with the band and have been all these years. :)
I hope you have a fab time...I saw Chicago about five years back and I have to say, the amount of energy they invest in a show makes them well worth the money and your time! Rock on, Pissy!
ReplyDeleteHolly: Thanks! I can't wait....I know it's going to be a great show! :)
ReplyDeletei am sooooooooooooooo green with envy.sigh*

ReplyDeleteOoooooooo, I'm so jealous. I love both of those bands.
ReplyDeleteI'm with Cap'n Noise about Terry Kath. What a talented guy.
I love Maurice White too but I don't know if I've ever heard his voice without the double-tracking thing they do in the studio. I'll have to click the video above to see if it's live, live. :)
OY! I forgto to tell you, The Easter Rabbit you posted? I so stole him. Please don't hate me. And, I left you a comment on that entry. I'm still laughing...and I owe all the credit to a Big Pissy!
ReplyDeleteI just bought tix for Blondie/Pat Benetar, and I'm just as excited as you are. It's great to have something like that to look forward to!

Don't like 'em. But I DO dig the 70's in general.
ReplyDeleteWow. I haven't thought about them in so long. I bet that'll be a fun concert :o)
ReplyDeleteI saw Chicago a couple of years ago at Rico's corporate convention. They were fabulous. Adding Earth, Wind and Fire to the mix would have been heaven!!
ReplyDeleteI've seen Chicago live twice. It was one amazing hit after another! You have great taste in music!
ReplyDeleteHeff: oh yeah! The 70's were so great! :)
ReplyDeleteGadfly: Oh, I listen to them both all the time. I think it's going to be great! :P
