Their career has not only seen them build up an enormous fan base through touring and releasing high quality albums, but also seen them recognised with numerous awards and honours. So when they once again arrive on British shores to perform live onstage, there are certain to be large number of fans clamouring to get hold of concert tickets to witness Earth, Wind & Fire before it is too late.
The current line-up of Earth, Wind & Fire, which has gone through many incarnations over the years, includes Maurice and Verdine White alongside Morris O’Connor, Philip Bailey Jr, John Paris, Philip Bailey, Ralph Johnson, B David Whitworth, Greg Moore, Myron McKinley and Kim Johnson. They are the artists that are likely to be delivering hit songs from their back catalogue to the stage. It is in such a location that audiences will be hoping to experience songs such as “Shining Star”, “Got to Get You into My Life”, “Boogie Wonderland”, “Let’s Groove” and may more. So expect R&B tickets to be in high demand.
These tracks and others are just some of those that appear on the abundant numbers of studio albums that can be found in their back catalogue. Earth, Wind & Fire released their self-titled debut album in 1971 and soon followed it up with releases such as “The Need of Love” in 1972 and multi-platinum selling records like “That’s the Way of the World” in 1975, “Spirit” in 1976, “All ‘n’ All” in 1977 and “I Am” in 1979. Since then they have continued to add to this list with other renowned releases such as “Raise!” in 1981, “Touch the World” in 1987, “Millennium” in 1993 and “Illumination” in 2005. It is a testament to their enduring appeal that they have continued after all of these years, with only a handful of other similar artists – such as Stevie Wonder – managing to hold on to their audience for so long.
And songs such as those mentioned are likely to sound their utmost best in a live setting, where the band members will prove that what seems brilliant on CD is nothing compared to their live power. This is why audiences will be wanting to experience the band first hand when they perform live and why they continue to attract a huge crowd to their concerts.
After all, Earth, Wind & Fire are fondly remembered for some of their classic songs and as they have continued to bring out high quality releases in the last decade, whilst also performing live, they have demonstrated that they are still as brilliant and as popular as ever.
