DVD Reviews of Live by Request
DVD Review: Earth Wind and Fire Live By Request
Summary: 5 Stars
I am an avid EWF fan and did watch this on tv when it was on. The video is great. I recommend it to all!DVD Review: Disappointing if you dig the original EWF
Summary: 2 Stars
This DVD is polished, with very nice sound quality, but it is way different than the original E W & F sound. It's not just that Maurice is no longer singing, it's the lack of any real "funk" quality. The original EW&F had a sound that was really defined by Verdine White's brilliant and driving bass, and while he is present at this concert, you can hardly hear him, and he playing seems to be subdued. Also, the original Earth had two guitarists, Al McCay and Johnny Graham, often both playing rhythm, which also added a richness and funkyness to their sound. This recent version of EW&F is polished and sanitized and lacks the "umph" of the original. And the between songs requests and banter are just annoying and take away from the flow and feeling that this is a live event with any improvisation. I wish someone would release a full concert from the mid-late 1970s, when these guys were at their peak and their concerts were truly amazing. If only there were a companion DVD to Gratitude! You can see bits of some of these concerts on YouTube and they demonstrate how vastly better the band was then. The early 1980s Oakland concert is OK but by then they had become too commercial and Al McCay had left and the band was losing its mojo.DVD Review: LET'S GROOVE!
Summary: 4 Stars
EWF fans will truly enjoy this DVD! The overall production quality is top notch, the audio is great, and it is visually appealing. It has the look and feel of a very intimate performance. I think the editing was great. Rather than a lot of quick cuts and panning of the audience, the focus is on the performers for the most part. Also, unlike another reviewer, I felt that the dancers (which were used sparingly) added a visual element that enhanced those particular songs. And, with the exception of "Shining Star", which was a bit altered, all the other songs were true to their original recordings. The bottom line is that this is a very entertaining DVD and would be cherished by any EWF fan! DVD Review: Please, stop deluding yourselves...

Plain and simple, there is no such thing as the group, Earth, Wind & Fire without Maurice White. Anything else is simply not genuine EWF, and true fans of their music know this.DVD Review: Their greatest hits in one DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
I missed Maurice White, but I think the band is sounding as good and as powerful as ever. I think the dancers could have been ommited (this probably is one addition from their Las Vegas show, and don't get me wrong, the girls are beautiful and good dancers but unnecessary), and the ego of Philip Bailey minimized (just look at him and you will know what I mean) to leave room for other members to shine. My kids have listened to their music for years but now that they have seen them, they like EWF more. Great production, great sound, you will enjoy it and dance along.
