Conquer Club

Is anyone else catching the great man on his European tour? If the world is sucked into a black hole before october 1st, I will be incredibly annoyed. Had to remortgage the house to pay for the tickets.

Anyone?

I never really liked Stevie Wonder. Early stuff was ok, but he's not the person i would mortgage my house for a couple of tickets.

OK i'm not talking about 'i just called...' or any of that other crap he put out in the 80s, but 1972-1976 - gold, all of it. Pure gold. Give me an hour and I could convert you. hell, anyone with a copy of Innervisions, Songs in the Key of Life and Fulfillingness' First Finale could do it. Honest.

No one's going?

I've seen Stevie Wonder play for free, twice. Once was at Live 8. It was awesome.


I love Stevie Wonder, but for my money, I'd rather see Billy Preston. The 5th Beatle.

I would kinda question Stevie Wonder's showmanship since it has been some 30 years since his best era. And I will refrain from making a "see Stevie Wonder" joke.

On a related note, hell, I can't get any interest in the following lineup that is late October in New Orleans (providing it is still standing)

Jesus, that is quite the long list of shitty bands. Sounds mostly like a three day yawn.

Of all the bands you listed, it will be most important to see:
The Dirtbombs
Quintron and Miss Pussycat

and that's it.

TV on the Radio is worth seeing.

I saw Fishbone in the 90s. Good times, should be a high energy, fun show.

I've seen TV on the Radio. They're boring. Good albums. Boring live show.
