By GTVW
Two of the most successful and critically-acclaimed bands — Earth, Wind & Fire and Chicago — announced their North American co-headlining summer CHICAGO AND EARTH, WIND & FIRE – HEART AND SOUL TOUR 2015, kicking off July 15 in Concord, California. The 25-date tour, will take the GRAMMY® Award-winning and multi-platinum selling groups through major U.S. cities including Los Angeles, New York City, Las Vegas, Atlanta and Boston. The tour will conclude Sept. 6 in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
“One of the most exciting things about the show is when both bands perform at the end of the concert,” Lee Loughnane of Chicago said. “Having these 21 very talented musicians playing our greatest hits together puts the excitement level at a fever pitch! From the Heart of Chicago and the Soul of Earth, Wind & Fire, it is an unforgettable experience.”
The tour will provide unparalleled entertainment from two of America’s most legendary musical groups, who have more than 200 million albums sold and 20 GRAMMY® nominations between them. Billboard hails that Chicago is one of “the most successful American rock band[s] of all time, in terms of both albums and singles” and has “been able to fill arenas with satisfied fans” with music that has endured throughout time.

The Globetrotters have played games on ice rinks, in dusty bullrings, haylofts, rooftops, empty swimming pools, on board aircraft carriers, on top of desks put together, and even during a rainstorm. The world famous Harlem Globetrotters, featuring some of the greatest athletes and entertainers on the planet, were at Staples Center in their famous tour “Washington Generals Revenge Tour.”In this show these great trotters played a portion of each game with a camouflage basketball as a sign of respect to all who protect our freedom. Big stars such as Big Easy Lofton, Ant Atkinson, Hi-Lite Bruton, Thunder Law, Bull Bullard, Firefly Fisher and Moose Weekes, plus female stars TNT Maddox, T-Time Brawner and Sweet J Ekworomadu* were received as heroes in LA.
In general terms this show is very enjoyable and exceptional. Even the half time show was entertaining and fun. This was definitely a family event and well worth the money. The players are very talented and this show includes comedy, dance, and amazing basketball. The guys keep the fans entertained. Also before the game started they had entertainment on the floor then after the game they had a free autograph session with the players. They were really nice and even posed for a few pictures with the kids. I would definitely recommend this show.

The Professional Bull Riders (PBR) will surprise for three nights of dirt-flying, heart-pounding, bull-stomping action featuring the PBR’s finest athletes going head-to-head 8 seconds at a time. This event will take place Feb. 6-8 at Honda Center, Anaheim over 750 tons of dirt — 1.5 million pounds — will be needed to produce the nearly 8-inch base on the arena floor required for the three-day event. Some of “The Dirt Guys” will head this show but Professional Bull Riders Reese Cates and Robson Palermo talked to GalaTView exclusively to explain the ins and outs of the toughest sport on dirt.
Mr. Turner is refreshingly abrasive film

Mr. Turner is an eccentric British painter. Profoundly affected by the death of his father, loved by a housekeeper he takes for granted and occasionally exploits sexually, he forms a close relationship with a seaside landlady with whom he eventually lives incognito in Chelsea, where he dies.
Throughout this, he travels, paints, stays with the country aristocracy, visits brothels, is a popular if anarchic member of the Royal Academy of Arts, has himself strapped to the mast of a ship so that he can paint a snowstorm, and is both celebrated and reviled by the public and by royalty.
It’s full of eccentric, unconventional and deeply sharp moments. The main character is a creative life with great mess in his personal life. It’s impossible not to equate the ideas in the film about working and living as an artist as reflections on the filmmaker’s existence and the best part is the beautiful landscapes and wardrobe, during two and a half hours of exquisitely drawn and beautifully photographed vignettes of Turner’s life, the viewer will enjoy all the likeness of each character.
