Should lock up that other one. Looking over the lineup I think Stevie Wonder is my number 1 must see on the initial. Songs in the Key of Life is one of my favorite albums.....of all time!

Saw Stevie a year and a half ago. The show sagged a bit due to pacing, but the songs are undeniable, and his band is top-notch. The one setlist surprise was no "I Just Called to Say I Love You."
i underestimated how awesome stevie is gonna be. then i listened to innervisions last night and remembered that he's got a lot of good songs. this will be a fun show.
6/18: Phish in Hartford 6/25: Phish in Camden 7/2-7/4: Nateva 7/17: God Street Wine at Irving Plaza 7/23-7/25: String Cheese at Red Rocks!! 8/17-8/18: Phish at Jones Beach 9/3: Rush at PNC
This Bonnaroo lineup is in dire need of some Rush.

Baby, ev'rything is all right, uptight, out of sight. Baby, ev'rything is all right, uptight, out of sight.
I'm a poorman's son, from across the railroad tracks, The only shirt I own is hangin' on my back, But I'm the envy of ev'ry single guy Since I'm the apple of my girl's eye. When we go out stepping on the town for a while My money's low and my suit's out of style, But it's all right if my clothes aren't new Out of sight because my heart is true.
She says baby ev'rything is alright, uptight, out of sight. Baby, ev'rything is alright, uptight, clean out of sight.
She's a pearl of a girl, I guess that's what you might say, I guess her folks brought her up that way, The right side of the tracks, she was born and raised In a great big old house, full of butlers and maids. She says no one is better than I, I know I'm just an average guy, No football hero or smooth Don Juan, Got empty pockets, you see I'm a poorman's son. She says give her the things that money can buy But I'll never, never make my baby cry,
And it's all right, what I can't do, Out of sight because my heart is true, She says baby ev'rything is alright, uptight, clean out of sight. Baby, ev'rything is alright, uptight, clean out of sight. Baby, ev'rything is alright, uptight, ah ah ah ah, Baby, ev'rything is alright, uptight, clean out of sight. Baby, ev'rything is alright, uptight, clean out of sight.
God, I fucking love Stevie Wonder. Remember when people said he couldn't headline and that he was a "pipedream"?
Now, he's one of the headliners at Glastonbury (the biggest festival in the world).
He's the only thing keeping me going. I'm just hoping he isn't shortchanged for a longer Jay-Z set. Let Jay-Z go against KoL and Stevie have all of Saturday night. Straight up dance party!!!

Totally stoked for Stevie. Is the big surprise A.C. mentioned that all the Jam band whiners won't realize the greatest Jam Band of all is Stevie + Wonderland?
Music of My Mind and Fulfillingness's First Finale don't get as much praise as ^ those three, but I'd say they're every bit as good. Keep On Running might be my favorite Stevie song. For now, I'll say:
To 5 Stevie Songs: 1. Keep On Running 2. Do I Do 3. Boogie On Reggae Woman 4. Master Blaster 5. Maybe Your Baby
