The Stevie Thread

HOW AMAZING WAS STEVIE WONDER!!!!!!

I was beaming for the duration of his set. Was unsure what way he would go with this show but it was truely stunning. Best thing I've seen at Glasto so far.

Currently watching him again on iplayer! God he was AWESOME!!!

[mike46]

first recording I watched when I got in. Amazing!

[mrtutz]

The guy is a legend.

The best headlining act I have ever seen at Glastonbury, and the best live act I have ever seen! I was nearly in tears!

Amazing performance, the crowd was mad and prob a bit dangerous but amazing with all the fireworks flames candles and lanterns but there was a truly great atmosphere. The man himself was great from start to finish

[**claire**]

He was amazing, got a little choked up more than once! Couldn't think of a better ending to my first Glasto.

Even if he didn't do my favourite two songs.

[russycarps]

cant believe the lack of replies to this thread.

After reading on this messageboard about all the rumours of extended jams, medley's of hits etc I was a bit worried about this set before the festival.

Thank god all that turned out to be utter nonsense!

It was an unbelievably epic gig. I adored it. OK he missed out A LOT of songs I would have liked to have heard but it was fantastic stuff. When he came on stage at the beginning it was a proper goosebumps moment.

Also, who was it who joined him on the piano half way through (my memory gets very hazy)?

Michael Eavis on stage at the end though looked like the most uncomfortable human being in history. And MY EARS! when he actually did "sing" a couple of words. Stick to pulling udders, Michael!

[Ed209]

Greatest pyramid gig of all time? Quite possible

Everything was perfect

[Azzy G]

This makes me smile so much! Wish I could relive it again!

Micheal Eavis looks so uncomfortable!

Hit and miss, but then his music always has been like that for me. When he was good he was very good, when he was bad I had a sit down. Excellent ending though

[septemberwillow]

Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant. Danced for the whole set. Only slightly disappointed that he didn't do He's Misstra Know It All as I LOVE that song but you can't have everything His voice was so amazing - no sign of any weakness even after 44 years.

[Wooderson]

He was FANTASTIC.

[Guest blackcockerel]

Absolutely f**king brilliant. Especially Eavis singing.

[DrWackadoodle]

The significance of 'Happy Birthday' didn't really hit me until they started singing it, M.E. on stage as well was just the cherry on the cake. Bloody brilliant.

[ajt]

loved every second of it, going on the iplayer now to watch it over again. one of the best things i have ever seen.

[4AssedMonkey]

It was incredible, but it was always going to be. I was dancing my ass off and singing so loudly that I can barely talk. There were a couple of songs I'd hoped for that were missing, but let's be honest, he could do 3 hours solid and still miss out some great stuff - such is the quality of the back catalogue.

Quick shout for Faithless too. Never been a fan, but thought they did a good show.

[windy_miller]

I won't say I'm a big Stevie Wonder fan, but he was damn good. There was a real party atmosphere in the crowd too. Everyone was dancing, especially during Superstition!

[When Jokers Attack]

He was so good, Had an amazing time seeing him. So funny aswell at times.

I'm glad that someone started this thread. I saw faithless at the back before because i had to wait for my five other compatriats ( who dislike Faithless ) to arrive for Stevie. Faithless were great and i must say a drank quite a bit and danced as if i was 15 years younger. When they arrived for the Stevie set they wanted to stay where we were. I admit that it looked extremely busy down below but after two songs i decided that i just had to get nearer mainly because of the lack of dancing going on at the back where we were, they all seemed to busy trying to set off sky lanterns. So i and my friend and his wife decided to weave our way in between the tourches on the ground until we got down to about left middle side of stage where a gap appeared with about 20 or so people dancing their tits off. It wasn't crammed and we had enough space to really let go.....which i did. The atmosphere there was a complete party zone. WOW what a gig! I have just seen one of the legends perform on the greatest stage, something i wanted to do since i listened to Songs in the Key of Life, the first album i ever listened to.

Best gig i have ever been to!Its gonna be hard to top that next year. I think ME was nearly in tears himself. I watched it back today and i was holding back the tears of enjoyment.....I WAS THERE!!!

[Niblet]

This was a bona fide 'Glastonbury Moment' for me, decided I'd go with my mate and expected it to be a bit average.I danced like loon through all the tunes, me and my mate hugging and singing 'I just called to say I love you' to each other and I actually welled up during the set which surprised me.

Then at the end, he started talking about creating a world where there are no barriers for those with disabilities, well, having a disabled daughter that just made me sob! I was cheering and crying, very emotional!

One of the best things I've seen in my life!!

[staggerlee]

Aye pretty close to tears when Eavis came on stage for some reason. This was replaced by fits of laughter as the song went on and Eavis took up the mic.

Absolutely brilliant though, every song post "little Stevie" was a triumph and encouraged me to dance wildly.

[thesecretingredientiscrime]

Was really upset I missed Master Blaster Incredible set though.

[dottycat2205]

What a way to end the best weekend ever. Was in tears for a couple of songs due to cider, no sleep worked the night before! and knowing that a dream came true to hear THE MAN Sunday night at glasto will never be bettered after Faithless as well.
