US Live 8: Philadelphia review (cont.)

Stevie Wonder Finishes up at Live8 USA

Actor Richard Gere introduced Stevie Wonder. I personally don't like Gere and can't remember when the last time he had a hit movie (save Dick Tracy - and that was a disaster). I can't help but notice that Richard looks a lot like Roger Waters of Pink Floyd.

Stevie Wonder walked out on stage at the end of the day wearing what looked like a fancy white tablecloth of a muumuu. He sat at his keyboard to start his special kind of magic with "Master Blaster" he was joined on stage with Rob Thomas for "Higher Ground", he also covered "A Time To Love" "So What's The Fuss" Adam Levine of Maroon 5 joined him for "Signed Sealed Delivered". Next up were "Shelter In the Rain" and the finale of "Superstition". Wonders 11-piece band danced bobbed and weaved with the sweet sounds of bass floating in the air. I think I saw Paula Abdul on the side of the stage dancing and grooving in a flamenco-style dress. Stevie Wonder took his bows and walked off stage.

No surprise guest, no Prince or Michael Jackson, No Bob Dylan or David Bowie. Live8 without David Bowie seems kind of odd. What a fantastic day. My brain is still trying to process all the information and great acts that I have just witnessed. To actually be at another Live Aid event, is truly a honor. I don't know how many people can say that they were lucky enough to be at BOTH of the most watched concerts in history; Live 8 and Live Aid.

My feet are killing me and I still have to catch a train. I might as well get a cheesesteak as well, after all - this is Philly.
