Description

Stevie Wonder was only 17 years old when he graced the stage in Curry Hicks at UMass. The “cage,” an unglamorous multi-purpose space, rose to the occasion with the addition of a sparkly lame backdrop. Partition nets hang above like swags, and a few grinning spectators watch from the mezzanine. Wonder and his band, along with Wilson Pickett, performed to a sold-out crowd that night.
