That’s The Way Of The World: Alive In ’75
This isn’t really a major archival release, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t an enjoyable one, either. Capturing a series of high spot from globe current of air & Fire’s breakthrough 1975 tour — all selected by Maurice White — That’s the Way of the World may not have the wane and flow of a proper live set, but it does have the vantage of combustion bright consistently throughout the record This isn’t just because of White’s very selections, but because this is when EWF was at their extremum as a white-hot blue funk band, egg laying down tight, monstrous groove and turning out lively, interesting jam on top of that. All of that is captured well on this nine-track live album ; even when the group brings down the pacing on “Reasons” and “That’s the Way of the World,” the music doesn’t turn flaccid — it still smolders. This doesn’t quite mean it’s an earth-shattering release, but it’s a playfulness record, something that the group’s fan — particularly those who loved the group’s early extremum years — will surely excavation
