Guest TONY ROUNCE Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 You could try the NEC if ya dont mind travelling mate ...or you could sit at home and watch this dry.... ...which would probably be far more entertaining than seeing someone who hasn't made a decent record in 25 years, and who probably isn't going to be doing any of his good ones anyway...

When Sam was born, we went into hospital too early, we went in friday night and he wasn't born until sunday morning...anyway, on the saturday evening, Dee was getting nearer and nearer and in real pain, we had a radio on turned down very low and Stevie Wonder was on in concert on Radio 2. By the end of it, Dee was in even more pain I was having to take gas and air
Lloydee Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 Mr Rounce and Mr Smith; did Tom Jones do any of his Northern classic the last time you saw him in concert................ Mr Wonder did more then just 6t's tracks and I for one am looking forward to seeing him on Sept 8th at the NIA, Birmingham

Steve Tickets did go on sale a day early (but you might have needed a special link to get to ticketmaster). Plenty for sale on other sites but prices are well over £200. Put me second in line for any spare tickets.

Epic Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 Good luck to you, he just doesn't do anything for me that';s all. I take it you mean as a live act - not some of the wonderful stuff he has done in the studio over the years.
Pete S Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 I take it you mean as a live act - not some of the wonderful stuff he has done in the studio over the years. I just called to say I love you, Ebony and ivory, Isn't she lovely, yes the list is endless...
Tomangoes Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 Its like most of these artists from way back when, more about nostalgia and really just to say youve seen him live. Might be his last tour, who knows. Give the man break, play fingertips at a soul night, Nothings TGFMB in the car, and whistle Uptight at work. Actually I love his stuff like "I WISH, Superstition, and even Sir Duke' Looking for tickets now. Ed
Guest TONY ROUNCE Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 Mr Rounce and Mr Smith; did Tom Jones do any of his Northern classic the last time you saw him in concert................ Mr Wonder did more then just 6t's tracks and I for one am looking forward to seeing him on Sept 8th at the NIA, Birmingham Seen SW live three times, once in the 60s and twice in the early 70s. Have to say he was not so good in the 60s and both the early 70s shows were blinders (no pun intended, sorry). But that was before "Sir Duke", "I Just Called To Say I Love You" "Masterblaster" and other horrendous ditties of their calibre worked their way into his repertoire... Not a Northern classic, true, but the last time I saw Tom Jones in concert (late 80s, Albert Hall) he actually started his set with William Bell's "I Forgot To Be Your Lover". And he was so good that I really understood why women throw knickers at him.
Epic Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 I just called to say I love you, Ebony and ivory, Isn't she lovely, yes the list is endless... Uptight - Nothing's Too Good For My Baby - Angel Baby - I Want My Baby Back - Livin' For The City - All I Do - Another Star - Pastime Paradise etc. etc. etc. C'mon Pete you,ve got to like some of these!!!!!
Pete S Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 Uptight - Nothing's Too Good For My Baby - Angel Baby - I Want My Baby Back - Livin' For The City - All I Do - Another Star - Pastime Paradise etc. etc. etc. C'mon Pete you,ve got to like some of these!!!!! Absolutely! I especially like that period around 72 to 74, Higher Ground, Superstition etc. But I was just echoing what Tony says (quelle surprise) that he hasn't really done anything of note for going on 3 decades
chrissie Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 ...or you could sit at home and watch this dry.... ...which would probably be far more entertaining than seeing someone who hasn't made a decent record in 25 years, and who probably isn't going to be doing any of his good ones anyway... am afraid I am with you on that one Tony, sorry SW fans but he just doesn't do it for me QoFxx
Sutty Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 'edge of eternity', 'feeding of the love of the land' and 'my love is on fire' all contradict the view that he hasn't made a decent track in the last 20 years. not many to go on i admit, but... they are all pretty fine
Djmelismo Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 Stevie Wonder concerts are just that - CONCERTS. They are NOT SHOWS. He normally doesn´t bring any dancers, he sits by his piano. He hardly even walks on stage, because he is kind of afraid of stumbling and falling, since he can´t see. He is led on and off stage by staff. So really there´s not a lot to SEE, you can only HEAR his voice and the music, but I must admit that his live versions are much more LIVELY than the studio recordings. And if he decides to speak, he can be very entertaining, he has a great sense of humour, joking about the fact that he´s blind etc. Hope you get a ticket mate. Cheers, Melismo

Cheers, Melismo I hope he doesn't just a sit at his piano. I went to see Elton John a few years ago with someone who had a spare ticket. He just sat at the piano and banged out one song after another in succession for two hours. It was the most boring experience of my entire life.
Kevinkent Posted June 14, 2008 Posted June 14, 2008 Uptight - Nothing's Too Good For My Baby - Angel Baby - I Want My Baby Back - Livin' For The City - All I Do - Another Star - Pastime Paradise etc. etc. etc. C'mon Pete you,ve got to like some of these!!!!! Yeah c'mon Pete! You've got to admit the first two on the list were pre-ratshit tunes. -Kev
Guest WPaulVanDyk Posted June 15, 2008 Posted June 15, 2008 Never seen him live but would like to but i would love to hear him do some 60's stuff aswell as others the stuff i like a lot by him are Upright, Nothings Too Good for my Baby, I Hear a Symphony, Signed Sealed Delievered, Angel Baby, Isn't She Lovely, Never Had A Dream Come True, I Was Made to Lover Her, You Are the Sunshine of My Life, I Just Called to Say I Love her, Pastimes Paradise, Blwoin in the wind and a few from his 60's albums.
