Holiday weekend in Vegas? Sure why not. First off, the magnitude that this was to see the legendary Stevie Wonder was not lost of me. But to be completely honest, this is not a concert that I would have chosen to attend.  It's not that I don't appreciate his music, it's just not the genre of music that I listen to on a regular basis. And the fact that this was to be a tour in support of Wonder's eighteenth studio album, Songs in the Key of Life, really didn't mean a whole lot to me as it was not an album I was familiar with. It came out in 1976. I was only 8 years old. But I also knew that live music makes me happy no matter what, and it was apparent that my better half really wanted to see this show and also knew me well enough that the enticement of Vegas would be a huge selling point for me!!

And here is 22 minutes of video I found on YouTube from the MGM show....



All in all, it was a fantastic evening. I was in Vegas with the one person who tolerates my madness while seeing a performance by a living legend. That alone made it completely worthwhile.
