I went the last time. It was great. Stevie was funny and jamming. And he did the whole thang! All Day Sucker for example. Interludes too!

>Stevie Wonder will celebrate the 50th anniversary of his
>classic album Songs in the Key of Life with a world tour this
>fall.
>
>Wonder will perform the album in its entirety at each show —
>an ambitious endeavor for a double LP with 17 tracks and a
>nearly 90-minute run time. (It’s unclear if Wonder will also
>play the four additional songs from the A Something’s Extra
>EP released with the original album.)
>
>The tour will start with a U.K. and European run that kicks
>off Oct. 13 in Birmingham, England, and wraps Nov. 11 in
>Glasgow. A short U.S. tour will follow, starting Nov. 19 at
>Madison Square Garden in New York City and ending Dec. 19 at
>the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles. In between, Wonder will play
>shows in Chicago, Washington, D.C., and Detroit.
>
>Tickets for most of the U.S. gigs on the Songs in the Key of
>Life tour will go on sale Sept. 10 at 10 a.m.; only tickets
>for the Detroit shows will go on sale Sept. 15 at 10 a.m.
>local time. Full information is available on Wonder’s

>Released Sept. 28, 1976, Songs in the Key of Life capped off
>an already remarkable run of albums that included other
>classics like 1972’s Talking Book and 1973’s Innervisions.
>Though one of the biggest stars on the planet at the time,
>before Wonder made Songs in the Key of Life, he was close to
>quitting the music industry and dedicating himself to
>humanitarian efforts in Africa. He changed his plans after
>inking a new contract with Motown that was both financially
>lucrative and gave him complete creative control.
>
>
>In a Classic Albums documentary about Songs in the Key of
>Life, Wonder said, “I challenged myself (to write) as many
>different things as I could, to cover as many topics as I
>could, in dealing with the title and representing what it was
>about. The title would give me a challenge, but equally as
>important as a challenge it would give me an opportunity to
>express my feelings as a songwriter and as an artist.”
>
>
>Songs in the Key of Life was a commercial and critical smash
>upon release, reaching Number One on the Billboard 200 Albums
>chart, earning Diamond certification from the RIAA, and
>winning Album of the Year at the Grammys. It spawned two
>Number One hits, “I Wish” and “Sir Duke,” and
>contained plenty more enduring Wonder songs, like “Isn’t
>She Lovely,” “Pastime Paradise,” “Black Man,” and
>“Knocks Me Off My Feet.” Over the years, Songs in the Key
>of Life has remained one of the most revered albums in
>Wonder’s catalog and pop history, landing at Number Four on
>Rolling Stone’s list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All
>Time.
