[Harp-L] RE: Stevie Wonder

[John Kally <jkally3@xxxxxxx>]

Hi folks,
I don't want to get into the  " greatest" debate on Stevie Wonder,  
but I recommend checking out his live Winterland performance from  
1973 you can hear   streaming at www.wolfgangsvault.com (same site  
recently mentioned for the James Cotten and Muddy Waters live  
performances; and this is a legal site, apparently, run by the  
persons that own the massive Bill Graham concert tape vaults) .  
Search for Stevie Wonder at the site and you'll find it (have to  
register but no big deal) . The version here must be one of the  
wildest  of Once In My Life, you really need to hear it to see what I  
mean . Only a few measures of harp, unfortunately.   I saw Stevie a  
couple of days before or after this on the same tour and it was  
terrific,  almost no harp as Stevie played mostly keyboards  while  
singing  with a great, horn-driven band that night (if memory serves,  
he played harp on only one or two tunes the whole night).  High  
energy stuff.
