Lionel Richie, Earth, Wind & FireWhen I was in high school at Jesse H. Jones Senior High in the south side of Houston, I played alto saxophone in the marching band. One of the main songs in the band's repertoire was"September" by Earth Wind & Fire. We spent hours learning the music, marching to the beat, and performing what I would later learn was one of the greatest songs in American music history.
Earth, Wind & Fire founder Maurice White is shown on the video board behind the band during their performance at Toyota Center.Saturday evening's show in at Toyota Center was a lovely affair. My birthday falls on September 1, which makes me a Virgo. At 43 years old, I wasn't the youngest person in the audience, but I suspect I was darn close to the youngest! The show began fairly early at 7:30 p.m, and the tone was brilliant from the beginning.
"Every song we play tonight might not have been on the Top 10 charts, but they definitely were Top 10 in your hearts!" proclaimed lead singer Philip Bailey, one of the three remaining original members of the band still performing and touring. Bass player Verdine White and singer/percussionist round out that trio.
His set began strong with"Hello," which is perhaps his most well-known song. Richie was elevated onto center stage surrounded by bright white beans of light. He wore a white long-tailed coat as he smiled wide into the crowd."I love you Houston, let's get things started" he yelled with great energy and confidence.
