Stevie Wonder - Free (Live at Birmingham NEC)

[ladydardy]

OMG, this is amazing, brilliant, great! as I used to live without music?

[yoniki1]

i sing this song every day! :DD

[BringDpain]

dont even mention justin ------'s name in this song!

[yoniki1]

my song! ;D

[lux2mars]

Best performance live ever .. Just stunning

[MrNympholover]

Pretty amazing some of the stuff that he never puts on albums-even though this was an outake from 1973 & Innervision from that year is is his finest work, he could have used it on his next album. Same thing with Frontline, Do I Do & That Girl. Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen & Neil Young are the same-so many epic songs that were never heard-save for official & unofficial bootleg releases & live performances.

[olegfutze]

which year is this? Thanx



[kuzn50]

Прекрасно!Почему-то ассоциируется с негритянскими песнями на плантациях!

[AmazeVid]

Those 8 people like Justin Bieber

[Nenah666]

<3 <3 <3 What a song he rewarded us earthlings with! Let's take it to our hearts...

[didiss22]

Don't know who "unliked" this song... ans don't want to know them. This song is just magic. Thank you stevie. A grateful fan

[tmamma44]

FABULOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A must have>

[TheSapawpaw]

I listen to this song everyday

[Methyl10]

If there is someone who is able to bring magic on Stage , than its the brilliant Stevie Wonder . I love you Stevie , I Love you for what you gave to us !!

[tmamma44]

Fabulous !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ugurcan18]

7 people are not free !

[dookdawg214]

This is the official studio recording. Did Stevie lip this live or was it just re-edited?

[capoeiraES]

@dookdawg214 official studio recording? it's not. But it was obviously rerecorded and overlayed the images. The whole sound from the images is cut out. I like this version much better than the album-version wich is more "electronic"

[capoeiraES]

@dookdawg214

I searched for this song live because I think this is very hard to sing live, even for him. The vocal range goes over 2 octaves. I think in at least some of the other live-recordings he sings half of it live and lips the final part.

[yaminovitchable]

flowing freely thru eternity! And there are seven people who hate to flow freely through eternity§

[Lagash1973]

Wonderful Stevie!At a certain point of the song,the higher tone part,I felt my soul as elevated by the deep feelings conveyed into me. This music is just the voice of God,brothers and sisters!

[konst125]

A Genius working miracles! That's Stevie Wonder!

[docteurfatou]

Un chef d'œuvre!!!!!

[7955jack]

The people who dont like this song have`nt got the message yet wake up !!

[7955jack]

the people who dont like this song have`nt got the message yet

[Kovulan]

Freer than the meanin' of free that man defines........

[theHanumanking]

2:08 looks like a imaginary free planet that U are on while listening to this song

[jewishcrimenetwork]

What year was it?

Amazing song. I love it.

[TheRedDiamond1]

Prachtig nummer.

[KathVengeance]

*Chills*

[TUNEin2Bliss]

I've had some astral projections and I know exactly what stevie means by flowing freely trough infinity , thank you God for this everlasting life , bless you stevie for this wonderfull jam

[laylayvonn]

Perfect!!!!♥♥♥

[BlackCrowNavajo]

7 people prefer to be slaves

[gldnkey7]

...one of my many favourites of Stive...

[trektanna]

This is such a spiritual song, accompanied by a gospel choir. The words are so meaningful. "Free from feeling heat or knowing bitter cold....Life goes on without a beating heart" Perhaps physical death is not the end of life...that you continue as a spirit, when you are truly free!

[eldutchi]

i get tingles everytime i hear stevie sing this song

[delijica]

What a fantastic song...

[Architector3000]

ШЕДЕВР !!!

[Architector3000]

BEST !!!

[paulocapella]

Free like the river Flowin' freely through infinity Free to be sure of What I am and who I need not be Free from all worries Worries prey on oneself's troubled mind Freer than the clock's hands Tickin' way the times Freer than the meaning of free that man defines Life running through me Till I feel my father God has called

[Nganguen]

Awesome Stevie Wonders...For us Africans, who have yearned and struggled to be as free as clouds!!! Remember this IDYLLIC song!

[nemomatou]

Have gooseflesh everytime I'm listening to that song and its lyrics... Everytime I'm listening to you, Sir, I'm free "like a river flowin' freely through infinity "...

[Swoutje]

@nemomatou - Could not agree more! Stevie truly is one of the greatest ever, both as a composer and performer-singer. If this one gives you gooseflesh, try another:

"Pavarotti & Stevie Wonder - Peace only just wanted to be free". Listen to it in an emotional state and you will not keep your eyes dry.

[daemona71]

this is one of the best song ever! 

[ronvanderspek]

Every great word from this special song is written by the world's greatest love poet! " Free like a river, floating freely through infinity, free to be sure of, what i am and who i need not be" ! Deeply respect for this man

[Ohetpuismerde]

J'ai la chair de poule...

[Mitchell89Oasis]

wat year was this?

[yaminovitchable]

free,like a river flowing freely thru eternity.........lyrics like these only come from true artists.

[drumqueen8]

that was perfect - thanks for posting this of my favorite human being- one of the bright lights on this planet.

[smokingprincesssss]

Wonderful lyrics, peaceful but powerful energy... He's got something inside which is so close to Truth...

[1990Jorik]

'Wonder' is dutch for 'miracle'. He sure is one.

[Ethellelism]

no Wonder... He's Wonderful!

[TheBettyboo62]

Cant really convey my love of this song? Its truly brilliant. Stevie Wonder, only he could pen "Free-er than the smile in a baby's sleepin eye", amazing! Love you Stevie.

[6labi4]

as said already he's connected with god !

[TheBettyboo62]

@6labi4 Thank you!

[DRPatJon]

Flow! Glimpse of things to come! Thank you mr Wonder, you are!

[brooklynlion]

Wow!! One of Stevie's best songs. I just can't get it out of my head. How on earth did it not become #1?? It only proves that even his lesser-known songs reduce current top-sellers to nothing. He's truly one of the greatest musicians of the 20th century.

[Andele37]

just pure LOVE of himself

mmmmhhhhh

[CoralineCHU]

superbe chanson...wonderful song!!!!

[TheBettyboo62]

What? It's really just a great song by a truly great performer.

[crywithoutme]

i strongly doubt that GOD is the father of any of us human beings, not even Jesus. HE must be greater than that !!!

[asal97]

@crywithoutme I saw your comment for sometime ago and it stuck on me ever since.

I just wanted to enlighten you about one thing and that is: Stevie and the majority of the black musicians in the US are the products of the singing gospel community.

Having said that, they are not more religious than me and you and use this father thing as routine.

This song is free from religion.

[Kizabi]

Mofo can sing

[ajdmjgmtajtgpwjmdajg]

it is so deep and so beautiful

[GirlyEarnest]

Sublime!!!!Wonderful Stevie Wonder.

[nelljerry]

north carolina .. griswalds

[nelljerry]

[peryclitus]

This why i lost me frredom :

as human rights defender in morocco against zionists and their dogs "Said benbiga and Othmani "subversives against arabs and against their king.

see internet : " geopolitics and law in morocco " and " criminology and law in morocco "

[GabrielallonKnight]

I never heard this before! OMG! What talent!

[Panklaw]

omg so beautyfull

[kholerapchakrev2]

Thank you so much, Stevie for all those treasures you gave us, May God bless you !

[bronze1914]

i was 11 years old when stevie hit the scene with fingertips I and II i am a devoted fan....he brings tears to my eyes He is the best and i have every last one of his recordings. words cant express the joy he brings to my heart..

[Vchertov]

Fantastic!!! I am free!!!

[Azzyto]

That song is just more than i can bear...

[motowninvestor]

Stevie: The Movie!

[tamnliz]

Stevie: The Movie! Soon lets hope?

[humanforotherhumans]

No movies. please!!! Let us keep the raw, original talent as it is. Who does not know who Stevie is?

Movies are plain, artficial and cmmercialized. Why do we need a movie?

[Prancer1231]

@tamnliz who is going to play him? justin bieber?  no one could play him

[ornleifs]

Great lyrics and what a fantastic song, Stevie´s a songwriting genius.

[tamnliz]

Happy birthday Stevie, you truly are the most wonderful human being. God love you.XXXXX

[blueforyou2]

Is there anyone who can relay any information about the musicians in this video? They are all talented within their own right. If any of the musicians in this video see this message, please give some background information about yourselves.

[Var974]

[eiderduck2]

[kaschey007]

Шедевр!!!

[meroman55]

rien a dire

[avetrey]

Excellent video and artist and lyricists. Stevie is my 3rd all time singer ever and he has so many hits and songs with meaning and love, it's untoppable. I will be singing this very song at my brother in law's homegoing this coming week. The words are priceless for all who have travelled on to glory.

[triburoudol]

FREE ..........

[justinlessington]

I danced to this song with my school in south carolina. ps. The learning tree

[pammolette96]

I go 2 a private school and we performed to this song it was amazing

[kannlistar]

i love this song!

[tamnliz]

"Free-er than the smile in a baby's sleeping eyes", say no more. That line alone just speaks volumes!

[Nautilus1972]

@tamnliz Except that it doesn't make any sense in fairness.

[TheBettyboo62]

@Nautilus1972 It so makes sense, Ever looked at a sleeping baby? there's definately a "smile" in their sleeping eyes. Just go with it. Promise its really there?

[copsey3000]

yeah i was at NIA birmingham on sat night, didnt do this one but belted out "as" "living for the city". Can only hope he comes back to england one day.... would love to hear this live. Musical Genius.

[Victorlugt]

Brilliant. Unfortunately Stevie didn't include this song in his (indeed also brilliant)concert in Rotterdam 2 weeks ago.

[bobrofmad]

still one of his best songs;respect sir

[tamnliz]

Stevie shone in Manchester las week! He is the 'infinite star'. He didnt sing this but he made up for it with 'As' at the end. Shine on Stevie.

[Clarimaria]
