Earth Wind & Fire LIVE

Ho voluto raccogliere in questo post

alcune delle apparizioni più importanti degli EWF

non solo per l'affetto...anzi... AMORE SCONFINATO ed ETERNO

che mi lega a Maurice White e a questa band 

ma anche e soprattutto per non dover più subire né io 

né tantomeno voi le orribili e devastanti interruzioni pubblicitarie...

Beh si, è un piccolo segreto...

qui dentro "casa mia" non sarete MAI disturbati da nessuno spot.

Dopo aver cliccato sul play se ritenete che l'immagine sia troppo ridotta

potete sempre attivare l'opzione a SCHERMO INTERO

MAI però entrando su YT...altrimenti vi ritroverete travolti

ancora dalle interruzioni pubblicitarie del "canile"!


Per iniziare ho scelto un estratto del 1973

dove sono ancora in fase embrionale...diciamo

pur guidati dal "padre" stavano solo muovendo 

teneramente i loro primi timidi passi 

ancora in cerca di quello stile che tutti oggi conosciamo.


BUONA VISIONE !
