 Two for the price of one! September 8, 2008
I bought this DVD mainly to listen and view my Chicago favorites. They open the show with EWF and start off with Beginnings which has been one of my all time favorite Chicago songs if not the all time favorite. It almost goes downhill after that. I would have not chosen to open the show with that song. That one should have been at the end or on one of the encores. Nonetheless, they play a couple of other songs together than they break off. EWF gets to play first and then Chicago takes the stage and then they join together again as in the beginning. Earth Wind and Fire steal the show and they are tighter musically. Chicago sounds good but not as great as they can be. Overall I would give them an A-, EWF an A+, and together an A. I would recommend this disc if you're a hard core Chicago or Earth, Wind, and Fire fan.

 Earth, Wind, and Fire on Fire! August 18, 2008
Don't buy this for the Chicago set. Its ok, but lacks the brilliant Peter Cetera vocals. Earth, Wind, and Fire is the reason to buy and listen to this. The music and vocals are great and sound the same as they did 30 years ago. Way of the World is beautiful and they play all the favorites. One of the best music DVD's I own strictly for EW&F.
Great Combo Show August 16, 2008
Two of my favorite groups of all time in one concert.
Nice concert from the Greek Theatre with Chicago and Earth, Wind and Fire performing separately and together - contrasts the two styles and horn sections nicely.
Great sound and the HD video looks good - lots of camera angles, but some from unmanned cameras fixed to things like the drum kit that naturally move around some when the drummer is playing - fortunately they cut away from these shots often in the editing.
If you like these groups you will like this one for sure.
Outstanding performance August 9, 2008
This Blu-ray disc is worth every penny of an already incredible price.
The performance and blend of the two bands was excellent.
I must say that the song I wanted to listen although it was listed as included within the EWF list of songs ("The Way You Move") was not actually performed, but just as low volume background while doing the band introductions.
If I would have a suggestion for the camera crew was that while the idea of fixing the cameras on the stage floor might have been clever considering how busy that stage was, it was not a good one at times due to the vibrations that were transmitted to the shots, especially noticeable on objects behind the close ups. However, the mixing was made in a way that reduced that effect due to the short shots.
Overall, the experience was excellent.

Chicago/Earth, Wind & Fire August 7, 2008
The perfect Concert CD for a warm summer night!
Brought back memories of my first Chicago concert....Both groups still have good pipes after all these years. An interesting combination of having them perform together. Two Thumbs UP!!!
