Blu-ray Reviews of Stevie Wonder: Live at Last [Blu-ray]
Blu-ray Review: Welcome Back, Stevie!
Summary: 5 Stars
Welcome back, Stevie! Where have you been in the last...oh, say, 20 years?
I bought this Blu-Ray with a great deal of trepidation, having been exposed to the few live sets available both officially and unofficially. Of the official releases, there was the pre-Electric Lady _Stevie Wonder, Live!_. Not bad, but it was of the pre-_Music Of My Mind_-era, and he was still trussed up with the Motortown Revue conventions. This tour apparently was in support of the hit single, "My Cherie Amour". Not bad, but kind of "long in the tooth" for those of us jaded by _Innervisions_. The next live Stevie I heard was contained in the album, _Stevie Wonder's Journey Through The Secret Life Of Plants_, an album that everyone but the most steadfast of his fans *hated*, particularly considering that it was the first release following the legendary _Songs In The Key Of Life_. The double album contained one live track recorded in Africa, "A Seed Is A Star, A Star Is A Seed (Kesse Ye Lolo De Ye, Lolo Ye Kesse De Ye)" It was interesting (and studio "sweetened"), but it really didn't give much insight into Stevie in a live setting. Years later, Motown released the 2CD _Natural Wonder_, which had in equal measure transcendent moments and cringe-worthy moments.
I hadn't been moved by many of the recent CDs or TV appearances, including those in support of then-Presidential candidate Obama, and frankly I wrote him off after _A Time 2 Love_. I wasn't nuts about _Conversation Peace_, either, but I was willing to give him another chance.
I'm the guy who scored a pre-release copy of _Key Of Life_, and played it loud in a relentless loop for 48 hours. I love Stevie, but I think his music ultimately took a back seat to his socio/political activism. And when he *was* about the music in latter days, he was trying to out-sing the new young bucks who as children learned how to sing by listening to Stevie Wonder recordings, for better or for worse.
That whole preamble is to let y'all know that this water is safe to drink.
Stevie is back on his game. The production qualities are great, both audio and video. The band is cracking, and Stevie is in wonderful voice. This is the live Stevie that I've wanted to see since 1972, and now I get to watch it whenever I want from my couch. I can now *watch* "Knocks Me Off My Feet", and that's good enough for me.
I didn't mind at all that Stevie gave the audience a chance to sing. It's not as though he had to beg them to chime in (they sang complete songs), and they seemed to have a command of the lyrics. They paid a lot of money for those seats in the O2 Arena, so why would anyone want to begrudge them being part of the show?
This is a Wonderful disc, and I'm surprised that I'm recommending this, but I am. If you like Stevie, you'll love this.
