Stevie Wonder played to a packed, but not sold out, Madison Square Garden on Saturday. This being his first proper New York City gig in over a decade, he pulled out all the hits and thankfully skipped over the majority of his wanky eighties crap.

Before the first note was even played, Stevie asked for a moment of silence to honor those lost who died on 9/11, before saying that his mother's death inspired him to return to the road.

Stevie seemed more energetic than his age would ever have let on. You could tell that he wanted to rock this gigatnic space. While the older crowd sat for most of the show, Stevie did everything to get them up and dancing. I also loved that he still could hammer out an anthem while spreading some wisdom, like during "Innervisions" andwhen he went on a passionate tirade about all the things he's disgusted with in 2007, culminatin with him screaming, "I can't believe in 2007 we have this silly bullshit called Jenna 6!" It was fantastic and got the crowd engaged.

Tony Bennett came out for “For once in My Life," but that was nothing compared to when Prince came strutting out onto the stage during "Superstition." They jammed on the song so hard, with the Purple One hitting his guitar in a call-and-response to Stevie's excellent keyboard work.

He finished the show on "As," his mother's favorite song, that was as emotional as ever. A brilliant show.........
