But I think this year’s Black Magic Woman was in too low a key.

I was actually at that thing in person. Stevie got the biggest applause, it seemed to me—the crowd favorite in an evening of favorites. I think most of the audience hadn’t heard her in that musical context ever and was quite surprised.

Her voice is well suited for it. Perhaps an album of Jazz/Blues Standards? I would have loved to have seen this. She also did "Sunday Kind of Love" at a similar event and it is equally spectacular

Attended the Toronto show Friday and was well entertained. The place was full, a great mix of age ranges, and Stevie was clearly the crowd favourite. The band was relaxed and obviously happy on stage together.
