Stevie Wonder will release his first authorized DVD next month, chronicling a Sept. 30-Oct. 1 stand at London's 02 Arena. "Live At Last" is due March 10 on Universal Motown in DVD and Blu-ray formats.

Wonder was touring as part of his first major roadwork in a decade. The 27-song set list is packed with hits such as "Living for the City," "Overjoyed" and "Sir Duke," and also features a special "U.K. medley" with songs from the Beatles and the Rolling Stones.

Wonder was busy earlier this month performing at Barack Obama inaugural events in Washington, D.C., and debuted a new song, "All About the Love Again," at one of them.

He's also working on a duets album with Tony Bennett, which will be produced by Quincy Jones. The repertoire will feature "a lot of Marvin Gaye songs," Hones tells Billboard. "We're going to do them jazz, though, because Marvin always wanted to be a jazz musician."

Here is the track list for "Live At Last":

Intro / "All Blues"
"As If You Read My Mind"
"Master Blaster (Jammin')"
"Did I Hear You Say You Love Me"
"All I Do"
"Knocks Me Off My Feet"
U.K. Medley: "London Bridge Is Falling Down," "Fool On The Hill," "I Want To Hold Your Hand," "Satisfaction"
"People Make The World Go Round"
"Higher Ground"
"Spain"
"Don't You Worry 'Bout a Thing"
"Visions"
"Living For The City"
"Part-Time Lover"
"Overjoyed"
"Lately"
"I'm Gonna Laugh You Right Out Of My Life" (performed by Aisha Morris)
"My Cherie Amour"
"Signed, Sealed, Delivered (I'm Yours)"
"Sir Duke"
"I Wish"
"Isn't She Lovely"
"You Are The Sunshine Of My Life"
"I Just Called To Say I Love You"
"You Are The Only One" (snippet)
"Superstition (So What The Fuss)"
"As"

Yep. It's a pretty good live album.

The funny thing is, Steve has plenty of live recordings out there, but no official live videos. I find that a little odd.

HMMMMM kinda came 20 years too late-its good-i mean its stevie but it wasnt 78!

This is on my must-buy list.

Kind of wish it was more of mixture of concerts, which could "Keep Foolin' Yourself, Baby Girl" or his cover of "I'll Love You More Than You'll Ever Know"
I also have an audio of stevie doing Superstition and morphing it into 'You havent Done Nothin' which was completely utterly funky. But I guess doing it like this makes it more uniform. still can't wait to cop this.

i have a Q to those of you who've seen stevie live several times over the years: does he ever include jesus children on his setlists?

it's a shame i can't ever find any live footage of it on youtube but the covers

I just marked my calendar.I'm getting this!

It's an excellent 2-disc live album

*faints*

Is anyone excited about the duets album with Tony Bennett? I like the fact that Quincy Jones is producing it,so I'll take a wait and see approach.

I like Tony Bennett.

Is this a separate project from the Tony Bennett duets album?

Yay! Thanks for this

A lot of songs I would like to hear on there, but still very good.

oooh this is cool , and the tracklist seems very similar to the one ive been to in the netherlands:D coooool , this is a great start for 2009!

Saw almost identically the same show in Paris so I'm buying it 4 sho

Fantastic! I'm surprised this is the first official live release - any reason why? There must be footage of ealier concerts lying around?

I'm gonna buy this fo'sure!

i dont know if its official but i have pre ordered it

Of course, it's official. What would make you think otherwise?

this will be released tomorrow!!

Yep awesome! Putting on my Stevie shades for it.

Honestly speaking, I'm not too thrilled about this one. Saw Stevie live a couple of years back, and it wasn't exactly a mind-blowing experience. This DVD is 30 years too late.

I'll be picking this one up tomorrow!

don't ya just love the way the media talks to us these days? so-and-so 'readies' their first such-and-such, the set bowed and x, their first outing in x years...NEEEEAAAARRRGGGHHH!!!!!
