Stevie Wonder/GA, USA 1988

From the tour for the album Characters, a live performance at the Fox Theater on November 26, 1988 was recorded on a soundboard via a person involved, and although there are some cuts (I’m A Man, All I Do, at the beginning) My Eyes Don’t Cry, the last of Skeletons, 4 songs) can be enjoyed almost completely. I’m A Man’s usual live-only songs that aren’t on the album, and Bird Of Beautiy’s happy dancer, Reality Check, where Stevie raps improvised with funky backing like Zapp’s More Bounce To The Ounce, and unreleased emotions. The slow songs With A Touch and Not The Human Race, the single You Will Know from the 1987 album Characters, the encouraging anthem Free, the funk Dark And Lovely, the CD-only bonus track My Eyes Don’t Cry, and finally 70 After playing Skeletons in a vintage style and playing songs unique to this tour, there was also an act where after Living For The City, Prince’s Housequake was played, and after chanting “Respect”, they played Do I Do (the part where the sound skipped) ). Of course you can listen to other masterpieces on the sound board as if Stevie were there. Stevie goes back to his Little Stevie days with his usual high-pitched voice, lightly sings Michael Jackson’s Bad after the Jackson 5’s I Want You Back, and also plays the 80’s big hit Part Time Lover firmly and very carefully. I’m playing. Stevie was planning to make more and more albums from now on, and I think the live performances included new songs for that purpose, but little by little Stevie stopped releasing albums. Please enjoy the high-quality sound of Stevie’s music that can only be experienced live. Fox Theater Atlanta GA.
