Stevie Wonder Live At The 027
Posted In Gigs,Video by Speeakz
Tonight I saw my idol live. It was all too much.
…It’s pretty late, but I feel I gotta post this up now before I freak out/forget every tiny detail about the evening.
To say Stevie Wonder was amazing would be the biggest understatement of the century. The legend went through his catalogue effortlessly, each time causing mayhem in the arena. Every single song had a history, a different memory to each in attendance. Honestly, I never thought I’d get the honour of seeing Stevie Wonder live and witnessing his love-fest of a concert was, without a doubt, one of THE best nights of my life. It was always my dream to be able to say I saw my iconic three and NOW I can – I have seen Michael Jackson, Prince AND Stevie Wonder live. How many people can actually say that? I’m done, I never HAVE to go to another gig again (of course, I will – but I never HAVE to! LOL).
We all know Stevie Wonder’s voice is the 8th Wonder of the world, but hearing him live is just a whole different experience! His range and power doesn’t translate properly until you witness him live. The O2 was PACKED OUT and as you can see from the pictures, we had front row (and centre) seats. I don’t know how I did it, but I did!

Stevie did every hit imaginable: “Ribbon In The Sky”, “Part Time Lover”, “Living For The City”, “Signed, Sealed, Delivered”, “Superstition”, “Knocks Me Off My Feet”, “Golden Lady” and my personal favourite track “As” to name but a few! The show was around 2½ hours long!!
…Perfect in every sense. Stevie Wonder. I’m a very, very happy man.

Oh, also much love to my home girl Dionne who hooked us up nicely with entry to the VIP Lounge, where we were treated to free drinks and food and then the VIP after party – it was a dope ending to an amazing eventing!
See tons MORE pics after the jump!
MAAAAN! I saw this show about 6 months ago, in nashville. This dude is a freak of nature. NO water breaks. glad someone else appreciates the greatness.
WOOOW I was there Friday night at the O2. I was impressed by the venue but when Stevie
came on it was two and a half bours of pure magic. My seats were no where near as good as yours so thanks for posting your pictures so I can re live the memories.
*in seething envy*… you bastard.
there! post honoured.
hi thanks for such a great post,the pics are fantastic.
is there any chance of posting a set list?
The show at O2 on Friday was amazing. Seeing him again on the 30th. Your pictures are fantastic. Thanks!!!
I have got hospitality tickets for tomorrow night (1st) and cannot wait – I have all of Stevie's catalogue of albums and to see him live will be the ultimate – it compares to seeing Thierry Henry in his prime floating down the wing for the glorious gunners. Free bar, free food, and Stevie happy days
