July 4th brought Earth, Wind and Fire (works) to the Hollywood Bowl

Earth, Wind & Fire, and the Los Angeles Philharmonic conducted by Thomas Wilkins, gave a heartfelt and spirited show on Wednesday at the Hollywood Bowl’s annual “July Fourth Fireworks Spectacular” on a beautiful night at the iconic venue in Hollywood

The band, founded in Chicago — Grammy Award winners and Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees in 2000 — had the crowd dancing and swooning with their hit songs like “Let’s Groove,” “Reasons,” “September,” “Shining Star,” “That’s the Way of the World,” and many more.
