Tuesday, Novemeber 7th, 2014, the incomparable Stevie Wonder made his first stop on a special 12-city tour at Madison Square Garden in New York City. There, he sang his 1976 landmark double album, Songs in the Key of Life.
Stevie Wonder, with one of the best bands and string sections assembled, singing an entire album. That had to be one of those “never will forget” nights. Rembert Browne (@rembert) sums up the experience for Grantland,
Walking out to the lobby, the crowd seemed slightly stunned. That easily could have been an entire concert, but we were only halfway done. It was all very surreal, that this was all happening, that he sounded so good, that this album held up the way it did, that his banter was so natural, that his jokes were so funny, that he seemed to be enjoying himself, and that even the things that went wrong were right.
There wasn’t a single thing to complain about. I couldn’t remember the last time that was true.
