Chicago & Earth, Wind and Fire Get Horny in the Woodlands

Chicago was not the first major rock band to play with a prominent horn section—that would be Blood, Sweat and Tears. And Earth, Wind and Fire was hardly the first R&B/funk/rock band to toot away—Sly & the Family Stone and any number of James Brown’s tight-knit units were there first.

But arguably, no two groups of the ‘70s and ‘80s (with Chicago’s toes dipped in the very late ‘60s) made better use of trumpets, saxophones, trombones, flutes and even flugelhorns than the two bands (and frequent tour mates) on the bill tonight.

 

Each with their own full 75-minute set followed by another half hour of collaboration, the night proffered full hit after hit but with enough deep cuts to at least somewhat satisfy the superfans.
