I enjoyed the acts but Stevie was MIA for nearly all of the concert, even though he was the top-billed artist. He only sang two of his songs -- one of them as the encore I was very disappointed!
The house @ HB was packed. The performers were whisked on and off the stage making some of the sets too short (e.g. Janelle Monae) Stevie Wonder, as expected, was in great form. Again, his set seemed a bit short. Heard similar comments to mine upon exiting venue. Sound was excellent. Perhaps for the next go around a few less performers and more time with each would make for a more satisfying concert experience.
It was a fantastic show!!! Glad I went! All the artists were great!
- The CHILDREN'S ORCH was cut short! - Stevie's Set....Cut Short! - Marvin Gaye Honor.., CUT SHORT!!!! Need I say morte? (Oh yes...Seemed to be plenty of time for Jenele M et all...)
Way too many unknown friends and not enough Stevie.
Performers were incredible, great blend of talent.
The concert was pretty good - Hollywood Bowl in summer time, great music and a nice bottlw of white. We got there kinda late, but just in time to see the acts we wanted (Grace Potter, Janelle Monaé and Stevie of course!!) The music was great, but I thought that it couldve been longer and Stevie didnt perform "Ribbon in the Sky"...BOO! Other then that, the concert and ambiance was great!
Cynthia, Maurice, Lima & Me. Enjoyed ourselves eminsely.
It was everything I hoped for and more. Sharon Jones and Janelle Monae killed it. Stevie was just everying you could hope for and Charles Bradley was seriously awesome. I could only wish that they had longer sets. Though all the artists were fantastic, I would have loved it to be a couple less people so we could hear more from them all. Mabye two night of shows instead of one. Festival would have been perfect.
Wonderful evening, great seats, Stevie was unbelievable! It was slow getting started, but totally worth the wait.
I was pleasantly surprised that Stevie perfomed for 40 minutes. He also talked about his past which I prefer. Some of the opening acts were unexpectedly enjoyable, especially Janelle Monae and Grace Potter. Both were high energy, danced all over the stage and brought the house down. Stevie has lost nothing over the years. He sounds as great as ever. It was a perfect evening.
Overall a bit lackluster . AS most everyone was there to see STEVIE he was great for the 10 minutes he was on for. Should of been billed as special apperance by Stevie Wonder.
This was billed as a tribute to Marvin Gaye and the 40th anniversary of his legendary "What's Going On" album. Unfortunately, the tribute was nearly non-existent. Sharon Jones of the Dap Kings sang "Mercy, Mercy, Me", and there was an ensemble song at the end, but that was it. The rest of the evening was two to three songs by a series of unknown artists, some were good, others will probably remain unknown. Then Stevie Wonder came out and did only two of his own songs. Perhaps the concert was better than my review, but it wasn't what I was expecting and it left me wanting for more.
I was disappointed because I was expecting more music from Mr. Stevie Wonder and he only performed TWO songs!! What the hell?!!
I was expecting more from Stevie....He spent a lot of time talking and could have squeezed 2 more songs in at least or could have had one less act and let Stevie play more. He did some great covers but i wanted to hear more from him. Was very dissapointed considering his name was all over the bill. Janelle turned out to be the best of the night.
Had a wonderful evening at the show, made even more special because the future of some bright young musicians will be impacted in a positive way.
I was disappointed that Stevie Wonder didn't play longer. I really enjoyed sone of the other artist but expected him to play more than three of his own songs
Great Show, loved every minute of it. Hope to see him again soon.
i just wished he played more of his own songs! please have a concert for him only!
I bought tickets because I wanted to see Janelle Monae again..she was awesome! Her performance was everything I wanted, short of seeing her in concert again. I also enjoyed the artists from Mexico and Ghana. I think the tribute to Marvyn Gaye could have been stronger and I thought the set was organized strangely with a lively performance followed by a staid one. I could feel audience participation and mood going up and down as lesser performers followed more dynamic ones. I also wanted more of a performance from Stevie. I love his music and personality, and I wanted to experience more performance and less talking. Over all the concert was great and I would recommend it to friends, especially seeing the youth performing with Stevie at the end of the concert.
