Stevie Wonder

[barrychuckle]

You heard it here first!!

[popcornmaster]

I'd probably go see him, but can't see it happening

[alframsey]

no way!!! Id see him, but ha!!!

[Zacko]

Hmmm do I trust a chuckle brother or not....

I'd love it therefore I chose to believe it

[St.Jimmy]

PLEASE! someone, somehow make this actually happen, Stevie's songs is one of the biggest influences on how i play guitar, plus everyone 'loves superstition'

[Vieuphoria]

i find it wierd that James Brown cant headline but Stevie Wonder can?? I like both but i dont quite get it...

[ghandi]

Excuse me? James Brown, great though he was, has not got the hits of Stevie. Stevie would command at least a two hour set whilst James Browns hits would manage about........... half am hour?

James brown released 67 albums in his career and that's not counting live album and compilations if you took them into consideration the count goes up to 120 albums.

I think he may have managed to fill out 90 minutes or so and even throw ina doxzen or so famous well recognized songs.

i saw him live in 2004 and is was amazing it would have been amazing for a man half his age let alone a pensioner!

don't get me wrong i love Stevie wWonder and would absolutely LOVE him to appear next year but come on you obviously have little or no knowledge of James Brown so why this daft assumption about him and his work.

it doesn't even make sense to me to be compairing the two to be honest.

i edited to account for this.

for me it's about being a showman and putting ona great show and not just being rolled out on stage to play a greatest hits medeley (jesus i've gone potty and cannot for the life of me remember how to spell that bloody word!)

[.jay.]

baws to stevie and james then, lets get another take that thread started

[denwyn]

Big Deal !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stevie Wonder Headlining the Pyramid would actually be the greatest thing ever. A true legend on the scale of Bowie and McCartney.

The difference between Mr Brown and Stevie Wonder is that while JB was great in 2004, he actually did nothing apart from grunt at the end of each line, this is because he was half dead. Saw Stevie Wonder last year and he could still play and sing like he was 30, it was truly amazing. Plus its true, Stevie's greatest hits pisses all over James Brown's (and I LOVE James Brown). There just aint a contest though.

p.s. Neil might be able to confirm or deny but I'm fairly sure there was a substantial rumour that Eavis asked Stevie to take Kylie's slot when she pulled out but he declined because it didn't feel right.

Would be fricking AWESOME!!!

The more I think about this the more I believe it would be absolutely brilliant.

[Vieuphoria]

being dead is a big obstacle.

[popcornmaster]

I dont think stevie would see it happening either.

[ampersand]

well didn't you completely miss the point ....

[Bluearsedfly]

Neither can he

[Langdale Wolf]

Ooooh Stevie Wonder at Glasto? That'd be good. Can't say I know too much of his stuff, but what I know I like. I'd watch him. He'd be an ace headliner.

Oh, and to add to the poor taste:

Apparently Stevie Wonder got a cheese grater for his birthday. He said it was the most violent book he'd ever read.
