Earth, Wind And Fire

Every year there is a VIP concert at Staples Center for those that are Premier Seat Season Ticket Holders, Suite Owners, Lexus Club Members as well as some AEG staff. Last years concert was Rod Stewart and this year it was Earth, Wind and Fire.

Before the concert there is dinner for everyone in Staples Center. The Lexus Club members and their guest have a special dinner in the club that included complimentary wine, beer and cocktails as well as non-alcoholic beverages. There several tables with everything from beef, pasta, fish, cheeses, sushi and a dessert table too.

Before the concert I couldn't remember one song that Earth, Wind and Fire sung but as soon as the concert started it brought back many fond memories of my teen years.
