The boy wonder turned elder statesman of soul may not be as sprightly as he used to be, but man, he's still one of the greatest songwriters ever to have graced this green Earth. Two and a half hours of hit after hit after hit (seriously: "Sir Duke"->"I Wish"->"Signed, Sealed, Delivered"->"You Are The Sunshine Of My Life"->"My Cherie Amour"), well judged covers in tribute to Bobby Womack and Gerry Goffin, self-deprecating jokes in a faux-South London accent and of course the song with the Funkiest Guitar Line In History (TM) to close. Perhaps a little less Jesus chat and a bit more "Misstra Know It All" wouldn't have gone amiss, but eh, he's Stevie Wonder- he can do whatever the hell he wants.
