Prince was great ! By moments I thought James Brown was playing, sometimes I thought Jimmy hendrix was back alive . I een thought for a second during sign of the times, he's gonna play the strings by his teeth, and by his feet when he laid the gitar on the floor .


Like a paper this week said, on disk he's an emperor , live he's the KING .

Thank you for this great show and , it's now official , we're funkier than Holland . Prince said it after Purple Rain so it must be the truth .

One thing was not so good, the truck with the tourbooks never reached Antwerp, so for the first time I haven't got a tourbook .
UNLESS THERE'S A FELLOW BELGIAN FAN WHO WANTS TO BUY ME ONE AT ANOTHER SHOW .



Please visit my site www.princeinbelgium.tk and mail me your reviews .

I want a site where fans can read fanreviews from past shows the next time he visits Belgium again .


Thanx

musta been cuz of all the dutchies helping you guys out tonight;)

i swear there were more dutch clubmembers there than belgian ... and prince played with that a couple of times ... prince actually refered to a couple of things he said on the 15th in rotterdam
On the 15th in Rotterdam he said that he practiced playing purple rain for holland .. of course this is not a statement you tend to believe.
Then, in Antwerp he said he actually practiced it for Holland, but if the Belgians were funky enough he would play it there as well ... To me that says that Prince was well aware of the number of Dutch people in the audience (not only in the clubmember area), and actually remembered what he had said in Holland a couple of days earlier;) (so not the Diana Ross effect, who's infamous for having the best night of her live every night she performs and holds an incredibly special place in her heart for every town and village she performs in)

Of course i still don't believe a word of prince having a special place in his heart for holland, and practising any song (let alone purple rain!!) for it... Anyways, i thought it was kinda smart of him to remember the statement as it is such a fluffy and easy one to make for Prince the performer.


heheh ... i'm really tired and should get some sleep ... hope any of this makes sense

I was just kidding .
To be honnest , Holland people are funkier then we .
I once visited a Prince show in Holland ... unbelievable . Belgians are not so , how should I say it , not so , I can't describe it, just so (uitgelaten in Nederlands) ... . Schitterend publiek, briljiant audiance . But we Belgians are also great audiance .

Are the reviews published today or on Monday?
I had shit seats but i danced my arse off, annoying the people sitting behind me. I thought the show was totally amazing, it pisses all over his last Greatest Hits concert in Belgium, 4 years ago. BTW Eric Leads is a God.

Purpel said:

I thought you Belgians did fantastic! The cheering, whistling and clapping just before the encore was even louder in the Sportpaleis than in Ahoy! And Prince said it!

Purpel said:

The newspapers I checked didn't mention Pince, so it's for monday I think .

Purpel said:

Cheers mate! It was interesting 2 c all the Belgian celebrities b so boring at a Prince gig... .

Roger Nelson was working his ass off in Belgium because he knew if he didn't Bart Van Hemelen would rip him a new asshole.



Prince

Prince said it indeed! Don't remember the exact words, how he said it.

It was meant as a joke during the concert, the 'so-called rivalry' between Holland and Belgium. At the beginning he said something like: "The Dutch were great but i know you Belgians can do better", teasing the crowd. Near the end he was more serious and said something like "it doesn't matter if you're from Holland, Belgium, Antwerp... Zimbabwe(he was joking), we all are one 2night".

Oh let's forget it, Holland and Belgium ARE his favorites, it's a simple truth Last tour he closed in Ghent, this year in Rotterdam, do we need to say more?

in the -"gazet van antwerpen "was a very poor and negative revieuw 2day on the weekend edition.
other newspapers and news on the t.v haven't say a word about it yet.

remember what Prince said.. if u read something that didn't go on in here 2night, than don't believe it... We had a great night, and Gazet van Antwerpen is full of it.
