Stevie Wonder
Jones Beach
June 18th
Stevie Wonder was high up on our 'see him before he or we die' list (Neil Diamond will get crossed off in 2 months time), and he should be added to yours too, if you haven't already done so, or created a list for that splatter. Stevie may look and dress like Homer Simpson in a muʻumuʻu, but who friggin cares when his beyond hamazing voice hasn't changed a bit since he hit puberty during his early Motown days. The show started off with the ebony ivory tickler talking about two new albums he's working on, and we thought that would translate into hearing a bunch of crap we didn't wanna hear, but alasses, that's not how the night unfolded. Instead, SW1 dug deep into his hefty stomach back catalog and for two straight hours, he tore the roof off the venue that doesn't have a roof (which only sucks when it rains, like it did last night and delayed the show by an hour). While he rocked such classics like 'Superstition', 'Higher Ground', 'Living For The City' and 'Master Blaster (Jammin')' [d], there juss wasn't enough time for him to play all the other gem de le menthes. Guess we'll juss have to put him back on our list, right below Led Zep and above Weird Al Yankovic
