I got the opportunity to see Stevie Wonder live at Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre at Encore park on Wednesday June 24. I must say Steive is still a wonderful performer! He had the crowds dancing and singing along all night! That is the sign of a great artist; when the crowds can sing along to every song. Great show, can't wait for him to come back!
