Saw Chicago & EW & F this week in Vancouver B. C. Went to to a similar show in Seattle about 5 years ago and the bands are just as great with even some improvements, notably Chicago bass player/singer Jeff Coffey. Not only can he hit all the high notes of the melody of 25 or 6 to 4, but has a better vocal ability and tone than original Peter Cetera. A most worthwhile 3 1/2 hours
We had really good seats and enjoyed the concert very much! Both bands did a great job! Chicago was excellent!
The bands were on fire! They played for over 3 hours and the audience loved every minute. their passion was evident from the moment they took to the stage until they played their last tune! A great performance all around.
Chicago and Earth, Wind and Fire both came out on stage at the beginning of the concert. The crowd went wild! Then E, W and F played for an hour; a short intermission, and then Chicago played for an hour; and then both bands came together on stage and played for approx. another hour. It was amazing! Everyone sang along,never tone danced, clapped. It was a night to remember!
Was everything that I had expected from Chicago and more. An absolutely unforgettable evening. Hope to see them back ASAP.
Great concert - actually 2 concerts in one. First they played a few tunes together, then EWandF alone, then Chicago alone, then more tunes together again. Ran from 7.45pm to 11pm with a short break in the middle. Twenty one performers in total on the stage!
First time to watch both of them and its a rare opportunity to see them both perform side to side! Its a wonderful review of their hits and the stage was magnificent with all the bursting colors - very 70s!
I grew up listening to Earth Wind & Fire because of my parents, and learned to like Chicago when I was older. Watching both together was such a wonderful experience. Can't believe I was there!
EWF well done, especially the harmonies received nicely. Chicago, new voices, split compositions - with long instrumentals in between, resulting in a feeling of repeating the same songs. EWF and Chicago, together so nicely, mixing up great voices from both groups to match the appropriate hits. Enjoyed the light show backgrounds. You have to see this show twice to sort it all out. So much going on. Enjoyed it immensely. The venue at GM, Rogers, Place Vancouver, section 116 had some weird speaker sounds with cracked up highs at very high decibels. Sometimes i bring a variety of ear filter materials to soften the loud but forgot this time.
It's been a dream of mine to see Chicago and to have the opportunity to see them and Earth wind and Fire in the same concert was unbelievable. I am so happy I got a ticket for this event. These are outstanding musicians and I love all these songs. Everyone was so excited and happy at this event. You must go.

CHICAGO WAS VERY GOOD....PLAYED ALL THE HITS AND PLAYED WELL...A COUPLE OF THE SONGS WENT ON A BIT LONG THAT GOES FOR BOTH GROUPS..LOOK, WE KNOW THEY CAN PLAY...WE DONT NEED A 2 MIN GUITAR SOLO IN MORE THAT ONE SONG TO PROVE IT ......THEY ONLY HAD ONE DRUM SOLO AND THAT WAS OK .....E,W AND F...IT SEEMED TO ME THEY DID NOT PLAY A LOT OF HITS.....PHILIP BAILEY EVEN COMMENTED WHEN THE CROWD WAS A BIT SUBDUED...THAT "THESE SONGS ARE NOT ALL TOP TEN HITS...BUT ARE TOP TEN IN YOUR HEARTS"....THEY COULD HAVE PLAYED MORE WELL KNOWN SONGS AS FILLER...YES THEY DID PLAY THE BIG HITS AND THEY WERE GOOD.......I DONT KNOW IF PHILIPS MIC WAS FAULTY BUT I COULD NOT HEAR HIM TOO WELL FOR THE 1ST PART OF THE CONCERT....THAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED WITHIN 2 OR 3 SONGS..NOT HALF THE SET.....WOULD HAVE LIKED TO HEAR "EASY LOVER" FROM PHIL...OK IT'S NOT AND E,W AND F SONG....BUT IT COULD HAVE BEEN DONE IN THE ENCORE WITH ONE OF THE CHICAGO SINGERS TAKING THE PHIL COLLINS PART......THAT WOULD HAVE BLOWN THE ROOF OFF THE PLACE.......THE CONCERT WAS OVERALL GOOD AND WE GOT OUR MONEYS WORTH...
The Earth Wind & Fire with Chicago concert was fantastic! It was great how the 2 bands performed each others songs. Had so much fun dancing.
Enjoyed the horn section from both Chicago and Earth Wind & Fire. Concert was a bit quiet but overall the music was good and performances good as well.
We had a awesome time @ Rogers arena. For a bunch of old guys they were right on the money. The horns were really tight and drums with percussion solo in I'm a Man was excellent. Earth Wind and Fire was just incredible just as good if not better than they always are. 5 star show and our 1st time in VIP on the floor. We'll be back. Sound quality was so much better than BC Place. I still hear the tunes!
What a fantastic concert. At one point, when the two bands play together, there were 6 drummers/percussionists on stage. And 6 horns. Just so much fun and energy. And, of course, it takes you back to another point in time in your life.
What a fantastic combination of these two great bands! Philip Bailey still has a voice that can reach to heaven! Chicago sends your blood pressure through the roof! This concert has you up and dancing the whole time. The light show was awesome! House was full and it was worth every dollar I paid and then some! You have to go!
Talk about a trip down memory lane. A great show by two legendary groups who clearly still love what they do.
This venue seems large for Chicago, but when combined with Earth, Wind and Fire, the setting was excellent. The evening was exceptional value, with 4 segments to the show. The bands are showing their age, and the quality of some to the songs was a stretch from where they have been in the past. This is the best it can be, for today, and I enjoyed this more than any concert I have attended at Rogers Arena.
The musicians were great. The mic on the singers could have been set louder. It was hard to hear the singers sometimes.
A great reminder of the best rock/brass bands in the 70's and 80's. Wonderful music of both genre's and professional stage presence. Sang with the bands and everyone was up dancing. Loved it!
