Stevie Wonder

I was listening to a couple of Stevie Wonder CDs and I got my thinking back to his set. Just like you can measure the strength of a football team by the players on the bench, I guess you could measure Stevie's set by the songs he didn't play, including;

As

Ebony Eyes

I Wish

Isn't She Lovely

Saturn

I could go on....

Lately

Too High

He's Misstra Know it All

Pastime Paradise

etc etc.

Let's be honest, his back catalogue could put together a 3 hour set with nothing but solid quality.

Part-Time Lover is a very average song IMO.

Didn't he play My Cherie Amour?? :blink: (I was pretty drunk so maybe not)

Yester-me, Yester-you, Yester-day - belter.

Yeah I did wonder if Macca would turn up to duet on 'Ebony & Ivory'. It seemed to be a weekend of surprise appearances after all!

I was a bit gutted that Stevie didn't sing 'Lately' as it's such a beautiful song. Very sad though...gives me a lump in my throat every time!

I am just watching the documentary of the making of "songs in the key of life" on BBC2 and realise 1) what a great man and musician he is 2) what a special album that was 3) some of the great songs he didn't, couldn't given the tome play and 4) that i had the privilege of seeing one of my all time idols, something that will stay with me for the rest of my life :D:D

truly special!

    • f**king horrendous and seems they couldn’t run an egg and spoon race.  zero info and the crush waiting to get in to see Massive Attack was potentially disasterous. Zero info, no stewards at all and was told that the whole evening was cancelled, when we got to the exit. Because it rained. First time attendee and i’ve got onsay, i’m far from impressed. Scalping bastard taxis asking €37 plus for an €11 fare too. Wonderdul.
    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better. 
    • You'd think that something like bad weather was in the basics of festival planning. After the shitshow of Madrid, you'd think they'd learnt their lesson, apparently not...
