[CrAzYMiNeCrAfT97]

[namron93]

The transition from Roxanne back to Higher Ground is pure sex.

[SONGABUNDANCE128]

@namron93 YES!

[Like19a91stone]

@namron93 yeahhhhh

[Natester842]

@namron93 then you've been doing it wrong!!! lol

[DaveyL1954]

a clear demonstration that two great nations can get along well. No religion, no politics, no race issues, just the worlds greatest music played by the worlds greatest musicians/composers.

With music like this the world is a good place to be. Peace to all.

Dave in England.

[KillaQuansta]

T-pain take notes, this is music

[SetApart4181]

That drummer is killin. 

[mummyslittledrummer]

@SetApart4181 he goes by the name of stanley randolph :)

[SetApart4181]

Man! Sting has an awesome voice.

[zapkvr]

Stevie Wonder is a freak. I remember seeing the grammys the year after songs in the key of life came out and the winner of the record of the year came out and thanked Stevie for not releasing anything during the year. I think he was making The secret life of plants at the time - not very well received by the critics but still a great album. There will NEVER be another Stevie Wonder.

[rael3554]

no words.

[leohardrocker]

ODDIO VENGO!

[mary8697]

los dos mejores reunidos los mejor......

[Oelm3n]

Haha! Sting is like "well, his bassline was a little better" at 1:16.

[letthywillbedone]

Despite all our arguing and disputes about Justin Bieber and Ga Ga and whatnot, these ppl are above all of it. Music knows no racism, prejudice or discrimination. There's no wrong or right, no black or white. Just look at them, two ppl of totally different backgrounds making stuff like this, and think for a while how utterly useless it is, trying to prove everyone else wrong all the time instead of just concentrating on things that you like and getting the best out of those things.

[JoeBrownDrums]

transition = on point at a whole new level!!

[gerisaras]

Sting playing energetic bass - at LAST! So good to see the pure enjoyment on their faces. Especially on Sting's, at the end, when it's all done. That little outburst of energy: "Yeah! We're awesome!" This song is pure machismo, that is, Higher Ground. And it's all on Sting's face.

[MrCfine]

No pitch correction.......no auto tune...........just amazing musicians........for people who forgot what real music is supposed to sound like.......well look no further my friends......dont forget music is still alive and well its just that crappy music is the only thing on the radio.... go stevie and sting.......

[jakedavisband]

@MrCfine actually, stevie is using a good amount of autotune. u can hear it pretty audibly at 1:21

[emanx222]

@jakedavisband NOPE thats his voice but i see what you mean But stevie was singing live so the producers must have alttered it if you can hear auto tune hahahaha

[jakedavisband]

@emanx222 of course he was singing live....and he was also using autotune. There are plenty of live autotuning filters, it's pretty common technology in the touring industry. just because it's not turned all the way up to t-pain doesn't mean he wasn't getting help. i'm not saying it's a bad thing, i personally think it sounds good, but he's definitely using it, no question.

[emanx222]

@jakedavisband no STEVIE NEVER USES AUTOTUNE NEVER it must have been done after the performance and also how come it was only at that part. Anyways the fact is STEVIE NEVER USED IT hahahahahaha just get over it

[jakedavisband]

@emanx222 hmm. I'm going to go ahead and guess that you know absolutely nothing about audio engineering or production, just based on the way your talking. In case you didn't know, live performances such as this are recorded from a high fidelity stereo out from the P.A used in the mixing booth. NOT from a digital usb interface. While the mastering team for this performance (which btw would not be called a "producer," there is no "producer" in a live concert performance, only session mixers.)

[jakedavisband]

@jakedavisband would be able to do some editing with EQ and things of that nature based on the separation of frequency bands from the source mix, they would NOT have access to individual mono tracks from Stevie or anybody elses vocal. Thusly, there's no physically possible way that autotune would have been added after the fact, it could have only been a product of the source mix live. Not to mention, I just talked to stevie last weekend when he was meet and greeting some people at NAMM and

[jakedavisband]

@jakedavisband he said ya he does use it sometimes and he doesn't give a shit, because he's stevie fucking wonder. So I apologize in advance if you feel like a really big idiot, because in reality I'm sure your only somewhat moronic.

[emanx222]

@jakedavisband you are a FOOL stevie never uses autotune and as i said YOU IDIOT stevie never used it intentionally IT WAS DONE BY THE CO ORDINATORS and you still never answered my question how come it only appears at that moment HUH ANSWER THAT FUCKING GENIUS STEVIE SOUNDS SHIT WITH AUTO TUNE IT AINT RITE fooooool HE NEVER USED IT JUST ACCEPT IT

[jakedavisband]

@emanx222 it sounds particularly evident during that moment because he does his sharpest slide of the performance during that section and thus the limit to key modifier on the tuning program (which could be autotune, but also possibly melodyne or a third party meant for live applications) is overdriven more than usual. However, it is still noticeable throughout the performance to someone with a keen ear. Something you obviously don't have. I wonder if you're trying to sound dumb on purpose or

[jakedavisband]

@jakedavisband if you actually think you have a good argument here. I'm not being sarcastic I really have no idea. It seems impossible to me that a man could talk like that and think he was being intelligent.

[emanx222]

@jakedavisband you are an idiot i mean stevies voice is naturally like that U DONT HAVE KEEN EARS NOT ME so pls listen to more stevie songs and realize the fact that HE DOESN'T USE AUTO TUNE IN PERFORMANCES ive told you it may have been done without him knowin

[supergro]

I love the creativity of today's music, but I really miss real music.

[kalokairinoskalokair]

what is the song that starts aproximetly at the 5:00th min?????

[MrJoko97]

@kalokairinoskalokair Higher Ground

[keegancooke]

i dont listen to his music, but i respect him cuz hes making it

[FUNNYiAM15]

WHAT ASS HOLE DISLIKED THIS!!!!!!!!!!! I DEMAND TO KNOW!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS THE MUSIC THAT IS MUSIC!!!!!! NOT THE JUSTIN BIEBER SHIT!!!!!!!

[FUNNYiAM15]

WHAT ASS HOLE DISLIKED THIS!!!!!!!!!!! I DEMAND TO KNOW!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS THE MUSIC THAT IS MUSIC!!!!!! NOT THE JUSTIN BIEBER SHIT!!!!!!!

[EmilioMasque]

For some reason I get the feeling that Sting is pissed throughout his whole appearance.

[acobaco]

2 guys sent by God

[benrogie18]

Love it! It seems like during 'Higher Ground' both Sting and Stevie Wonder's bass player are playing bass at the same time, does anyone know why? Thanks :)

[TheSupersaxman94]

Yes! Zero dislikes!

[Redbulltom315]

Girlfriend of 2 years walked and said whats this shit your listening to.... she's now buried under the patio....

[cooperativ]

@Redbulltom315 we can whine about the fucking kids, but at the end of the tunnel, who cares about the lost generation of biebershite, just enjoy your life and listen to great music.

[baumbatta]

@Redbulltom315 hahaha well done m8 :)

[saarkrispin463]

גורם לך לעןף מרוב כישרון של שנים של שירה הנגרמת מהנאה צרופה

[drioood]

[RomanSedlak]

Do you know Stevie Wonders kids? Neither does he :D

[funkfanNo1]

Sting - great singer/songwriter but lucky Big Nate Tain Watts was there to play the proper funky bassline on Higher Ground!!!!

[schapuhherder57]

genius

[woutertron]

Poor blind Stevie, about 30 seconds too late with his introduction of Sting, bless him.

[mgouvea]

@woutertron LOL

[TrevorWTillman]

@woutertron not really, he had to let Sting get his bass intro in.. can't just interrupt the man lol

[tebacm1]

@woutertron Do you really think that? wouldn't Stevie Wonder hear two bass at the same time? think about it...

[FracAttack73]

i meant to like this but i accidently hit dislike... im hatin myself for it this is amazing

[Hardeepmusic]

I love woman...but damn!!! these two dudes just gave me a fuckin ear orgasm... damn!!!!!!

[Bibledigger322]

@Hardeepmusic Eargasm!

[ecowarrior213]

[RonLo1]

[kemo0311]

I always thought I hated Sting.. Turns out I love him

[whodwellswithin]

Fucking amazing¡¡¡

[SANTISPATRICIO]

grande wonderrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!­!!

[Diabolodud1000]

ICH BIN UNWÜRDIG *____*

[cpswyl2]

Now that's loving what you do

[shoelessandy]

i wish that people could create a device that allows Stevie to see again and then he could see all the faces that love him and have loved him for what he's done all these years.

[Sandler41882]

The transition back to Higher Ground is disgusting.

[whodwellswithin]

@Sandler41882 U must KNOW about music to make that statement man¡¡¡ If you don`t "understand" it, or cannot "hear" it with a musician`s ear, your comment is not only irrelevant but ignorant. All of the musicians onstage were carefully picked and auditioned, they`re the best of the best, they sure know what they are doing.

I for one, not only understand it but enjoyed it. Peace.

[Sandler41882]

@whodwellswithin whaaaaaat? How does that relate to what I said? All im doing is complimenting the transition. its one of the best ive ever heard.

[whodwellswithin]

@Sandler41882 @Sandler41882 My mistake man. I thought you said "disgusting" in a negative way. It was hard to understand somebody would make such a comment about that extraordinary performance and arrangement. Peace.

[02obrienf]

@Sandler41882 pure filth

[dceserd]

lady gaga, katy perry, and justin bieber, are shit compare to this class of music

[pataflafla235]

drummer 0:46 wtf...

[akrotirifry9]

Two basses FTW!!!!

[shoelessandy]

stevie wonder, sting, both pushin 60 and never better =D

[Dolphidood]

I love Stevie Wonder... his funk just makes me feel so tight and lose in the same period of time and it makes me see all these awesome motivational shapes that get me moving... thats what its about... not the intimidating style, fashion and 'hip' talk that goes into it... its about the very mental interpretation of the music... and the wonderful colours, patterns, feelings, emotions and shapes that it produces in our heads.

[elidemsitz]

oh yeah, this just keeping better and better. Two of the greatest muscians ever....I'm actually having a crisis:-)

[Sigillo7]

Due artisti completi...

[ayenque]

Pronto se acerca el señor por estos sitios ...

[samkwiek]

they should make an album together that would be something!

[fguka]

bassy as fuck... i love it

[Reikistern]

I like it too-better than old style...

[Music19961235]

This is Great The Police and Stevie Wonder are my favorite

[writetovagelis1975]

Excellent performance! Stevie and Sting Kick ass!!!

[ohgplayer]

Never been a fan of Sting (Not implying that he sucks or anything, just not a fan of his music) but god motherfucking damn, this performance gave me goosepomps!!

[Reds1733]

His drummer is outstanding

[derocdero]

Please, Sting, Stevie, and the likes, open up a music school and save our children from Justin Beiber and Lady Ga Ga.

[waterboy281]

@derocdero hahahhahahahaha Great comment!!!

[SamLeChiq]

@derocdero lmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmao!!!



[TheCoryandDavidShow]

@derocdero i agree with you about Justin Bieber hes an actor, and a fake pop star, however do your research, I have a sick obsession with Stevie Wonder but even I am musically unbiased enough to admit that lady gaga is extremely extremely talented, is a wonderful writer and IS unfortunately the one keeping music alive, I dnt like her music, correction i hate her music, shes no MJ, but shes still very talented and you are in no place to be insulting her, a true lover of music learns to APPRECIATE

[Papipede]

@derocdero I'm definitely not a fan of Lady Gaga, but I think she's actually a great musician, look for "Lady GaGa - Eh Eh (Live @ Taratata)" on youtube, you'll be amazed ! :)

[iKhanKing]

@derocdero Yes Justin Beiber, but whether or not you like Lady Gaga, she is very musically talented-- enough to get into one of the premiere musical schools in the country.

[Ugazful]

@derocdero chill with Gaga man, Bieber I can understand but Gaga's got talent, just not in the form you're not used to seeing. And don't go ragging me saying i'm not a Wonder fan because I am. look up her stuff that she did with michael buble on jazz numbers, its really interesting

[dasweeney62]

@derocdero Sorry, you need to check out Gaga soem more. She plays the piano well and can sing - and I should add that I am not a fan at all! Stevie rules!!

[mirkari87]

@derocdero YOU WIN!!!

[irabless]

Finally! Sting! about to wake up! Ths Wonder for making him using voice again.

[NoamIsachar]

AWESOME ! I like the transfer from Roxenne back to Higher Ground (:

[pjakubec23]

@NoamIsachar that transfer reminds me one song by Aretha Franklin :) but it is just coinsidence

[wasp220]

@NoamIsachar

yes they made a transfer between 2 songs so far 4 eachouthers,and they did it pretty good too..amazing !!

[helldrummer87]

WOW

[surrealillness]

i dont like the bearded sting..they sound great

[FrannyRenee]

Love it it was a rockin moment.
