Stevie Wonder: Live At Last - Recorded during a two night residency at London, England, O2 Arena in autumn 2008



In the year that Motown Records reaches its half-century, lifelong Motown artist and music legend Stevie Wonder, universally regarded as one of the few true geniuses in modern music, releases his first-ever live concert DVD, Live At Last. The DVD was filmed at the O2 Arena in London over two nights, September 30 and October 1, 2008, before a rapturous audience of 15,000 each night. The concerts were part of the first Stevie Wonder world tour in over a decade which sold 120,000 tickets in the UK alone.Live At Last’s set list traces a lifetime of innovation and accomplishment--and, in fact, our own lifetime appreciation of his music, stretching from Wonder’s teens with “My Cherie Amour” and “Signed, Sealed, Delivered I’m Yours.” Along the way, the show encompasses all the classic hits that redefined pop and R&B music, including “Superstition,” “Higher Ground,” “Living For the City”, “You Are the Sunshine of My Life” and “I Wish”, while reaching into his classic albums for such enduring fan favorites as “All I Do,” “Overjoyed” and “Knocks Me Off My Feet”. The exuberant “Don’t You Worry ‘Bout a Thing” is preceded by Wonder’s interpretation of Chick Corea’s instrumental “Spain”. And in a delightful, impressive and emotional moment, Wonder’s daughter Aisha Morris--the inspiration of his classic “Isn’t She Lovely”--steps from the background vocal group and performs Nat “King” Cole’s jazz standard “I’m Gonna Laugh You Right Out of My Life”. Wonder also takes time out in the set to salute the British audience with an affectionate medley of two Beatles songs (“Fool on the Hill”, “I Want To Hold Your Hand”) and a Rolling Stones classic (“[I Can’t Get No] Satisfaction”), book-ending them with the traditional “London Bridge is Falling Down”.


Recorded during a two night residency at London O2 Arena in autumn 2008, LIVE AT LAST represents a rare occasion to experience all the funky energy of a Stevie Wonder's concert. A pioneer in modern R&B, the American pianist, songwriter and tremendous performer comes back in top form after having spent ten years away from the spotlight. An electrifying journey into Wonder's long and successful career, LIVE AT LAST includes all his classic hits such as 'My Cherie Amour', 'Signed, Sealed, Delivered I'm Yours', 'Superstition', 'Higher Ground', 'Living For the City', 'You Are the Sunshine of My Life', 'I Wish', 'All I Do', 'Overjoyed', 'Knocks Me Off My Feet', 'Don't You Worry 'Bout a Thing' and 'Isn't She Lovely', performed with his daughter Aisha Morris. For the finale Stevie Wonder reserved a very special treat for his British fan base: a medley of The Beatles and The Rolling Stones evergreens 'Fool On The Hill', 'I Want To Hold Your Hand' and '(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction'. The unforgettable show was then sealed by a rather original execution of the traditional nursery rhyme 'London Bridge Is Falling Down'.
