By the way, last night (November 18th), after concert, there was
an after party in Tokyo. I went to the party but left
before Prince showed up. (He stayed the club for a while.)

Anyway, I heard he broght a "ONA LIVE" CD set
with him and showed it to people on the floor from
balcony. A DJ played a few songs from the new set.

Thank you Lib!

looks strange, but isn´t this one of his smallest set-up list for a show so far at the ONA tour?

and, how was the concert itself? Was it amazing/Good/Bad? hah, how was it?

Fixed...slight typographical error.

He's a real "tease" with those cds hey?

liberation said:

Let me be clear here, Richard. This is a report that has been sent to you isn't it? The way this reads, it seems to suggest you are in Tokyo!!

lib is not in JAPAN

he just copies and pastes this stuff from AMP

I know he posts on amp too - I also read it there, but he simply posted the set list for this concert without the 'personal' commentary on amp

langebleu said:

No...i people people in Japan who email me reports, i copy and paste that.

And yes...i treat amp and The Org different, when it comes to info.

justanotherasshole said:

No..i post info on amp and The Org, from reports people send me.
And yes...amp gets different treatment and text then what The Org does.

langebleu said:

Indeed i did, as The Org is more "personal" then amp is, amp just got the facts...the tracklists.

I gave a more "personal" perspective for The Org.

At last, he's finally doing Last December! Why did it take him so long! Somebody tell me what this is like live!

It's nice (especially the guitar break) but the chorus doesn't really sound right without the big choir singing it.

I just read the NPG site and a fan said he did Sexuality? Is this True? Sexuality? I Can't believe it! What???

Natasha said:

How was the drumming at the start of the show? Noticeably different? Paisley News said Prince was on the kit at the start behind the curtain of both Budokan shows!!

the sexuality part is probably incorporated in the rainbow children, the new breed leader section

... (whistlin')
so was there a show in Sapporo 2nite, or is the only production that went on 2nite!!!
liberation, where u at baby?!!
PEACE & LOVE

What is his thing against doing piano sitdowns in Japan?
