Earth Wind & Fire: Omni Coliseum, Atlanta GA
John Abbey, Blues & Soul, 17 November 1981
THIS WAS the first time that Atlanta had seen Earth Wind & Fire in over a year and there was much speculation about their widely-publicised trek in support of their excellent new Raise album. After the disappointing acceptance of the rather bland I Am album, Maurice knew that his group had to come up with something special and instead of the customary theatrical approach, he settled on a far more musical emphasis.
