Music Stevie Wonder - Tonight

Posted by Ezra Caraeff on Thu, Aug 30 at 2:49 PM

Below is Andrew Tonry’s preview of tonight’s Stevie Wonder concert:

STEVIE WONDER
(Edgefield, 2126 SW Halsey, Troutdale) Did you get your tickets for Stevie Wonder? Probably not, seeing as they sold out in about an hour, which figures, this being Stevie’s first tour in 10 years and all. So I guess I’ll be slithering in the back way—two miles through brambles and blackberry bushes—if only to catch a mere glimpse of the legend himself. Sometimes I wonder if Stevie gets all the credit he deserves. Try naming five artists still touring—or still alive for that matter—in the same league as him. It’s not easy. All questions of legacy aside for a moment, the dude is just that fucking bad. Go YouTube “Stevie Wonder drum solo” and you’ll see what I mean.

Ok Andrew, I’ll take you up on that, here it is:

Holy crap. That might have been the greatest 6:37 I have ever spent in my life.

Stevie Wonder is performing at Edgefield tonight. It’s way sold out. Dang.

Wow - I'm so tempted to rock it out in the parking field behind the stage. I mean, if Stevie can't see us, does it matter if we can't see him?

STEVIE WONDER HAS SEEN MORE THAN MOST !!
