It's RIDICULOUS! WHO THE HELL CARES!?? I did a search for Prince concert and that's the only news. Not how HYPE the show was or that he closed out the series of concerts with a bang, just this Kardashian business. So annoying.

I absolutely agree!!! It is a shame that his concerts do not get more attention, but when that woman gets up on stage suddenly Prince is in the news everywhere!

But at least here is a great review I found:

I'm sorry I don't know how to make that link clickable

First, excellent show! Next, a question.

Can someone tell me who was dancing to "Single Ladies"? I kept thinking it was Dutch from "The Shield". It couldn't have been, right? Right? If so, my mind...blown.

Stop hating on good ol' Bubblebutt. Granted, she's done a little less than nothing to be famous, but I'm glad she's made herself available to so many! If I tape a twenty to my forehead, I might have a chance. Maybe a fitty.

In closing, as much as I loved the show, I think it's time for him to pull a tour featuring The Revolution doing only Revolution-era stuff and b-sides. Bobby's heart attack brings the truth home. We are all on borrowed time. So, do it for us if no one else. The Pixies have been running in a circle doing "Doolittle" for the last couple of years to great success. Why not P?

A man can dream...

I am glad to know that all of you had a great time at the concert on Monday night. He sang some of the songs that I was hoping he would sing. Thanks for the updates and fantastic pictures. He does look great in gold. It is nice to see him laughing, smiling and being happy. I have not seen him going that in years.

Yes, it gave off a pretty effect.

I wish I knew more about photography, especially under such conditions, I have no clue how to take pics in concerts. Unforunately, I was in the A row and a lot of times piano was blocking my view, and to make worse Prince spent a lot of time on other side by celebrities. But I'm happy that he danced a lot in the piano. Too bad I couldn't get good pic. of him playing guitar. I learned my lession: Never buy Row A.

Nice to see you 2elijah. I had to keep looking at you when songs like Dreamer, Mountains and Lay Down came on because we were the only ones in our section that knew the songs/words! I about flipped when I heard the opening chords to Mountains.

2elijah said:

Yeah, but that was the last show of the series for the NYC area. As far as pics, I guess we may see some posted here later.

[Edited 2/8/11 12:09pm]

[Edited 2/8/11 12:27pm]

Same here fickyt! You know I had to rock to those songs, especially "LayDown" and "Dreamer". Both songs I wanted to hear play live, so I was ecstatic when it came on. After hearing "LayDown" played live I was on a purple high the whole night. I absolutely loved the live version of "LayDown". and that song set the energy for the rest of the show, with it's funk rock beat. Prince was on fire on 2/7. I also loved the harmonizing from Liv, Shelby and Elisa on "Mountains".

Anyway, the people in my row may not have known the words, but they were up dancing to it though.. They couldn't help it. I had some pretty good folks in my row, with the exception of one. The couple on the left of me stood up the entire show dancing, clapping and singing with me. That's the kind of people I like being around at a show, positive, energetic, and having a good time. Unfortunately, the lady to the right of me, was quite the snob, but I know how to give back snobbery, so I didn't let that walrus-sized-ate-one-too-many-hamburgers-at-burger king, steal my energy. Yet she was up on her feet trying to keep up with me.

Well, I guess it's time for our wallets to get a rest, while Prince moves on to share his purple badness with the rest of the fans around the U.S.and elsewhere...well at least until he returns to NYC again. !!

L4OATheOriginal said:

i'm gonna keep this short and simple cause its already been said in some others posts ..good show energy wise but the setlist needs a major uhaul. perhaps it was the jaw dropping anctics of the 1/18 show that cried 2 be met again but fell short. tho this show was better than the december shows, 1/18 IS THE BEST SHOW OF THEM ALL.

highlights: laydown, MOUNTAINS, dreamer

letdowns- okay prince u have a band is there really a need 2 do looped snipets? seriously! ..kim kardashian ..nice ass but get yo ass off the stage!!

MAJOR LETDOWN- NOT DOING THE LOVE WE MAKE!! DAMMIT I WANNA HEAR THIS SONG LIVE IN PERSON SHIT!!

food 4 thought- in talking with anhonestman after the show we both realize that these shows are 4 the casual people cause when prince did laydown, dreamer and mountains, once again people around us were dumbfucked as 2 what these songs are. but what's refreshing is seeing other fans that are in the know all rock out!!

msg is a busy arena year round with other acts coming 2 the garden soon, and not 2 mention the sporting events that happen there so it would be great if prince came back to the nyc at another venue perhaps even more intimate 4 the diehards and those in the know that he has more of a vast catalouge then 3 albums in the 80's.

yes Love4OAThe original, 1/18 was the shit!!! last nights show did not have the same "wow" factor overall in the set as 1/18, but i think it was a good way for him to end the shows.(now if he would just drop 1999 and LGC and replace with something else). i dont know if i agree that the shows are for the casual fan, but we all know in the arenas there are certain songs he is always gonna play and that prob. will not change. it was refreshing to see people dancing to Laydown instead of being dumbfounded, but that was prob. because he had just come on stage. with 20ten not even being released in the US, and with it being a "hidden" track at that, i doubt there were many people that actually knew it. Mountains i thought also works very nice in the later part of the encores-similar feel to me like "Gold". also, i thought the crowd was on point-great for a monday night- it felt like a saturday night in there!!! best crowd of the tour to date. -Paul

yeah the only wow factor was laydown, dreamer and mountains ..but controversy was on fire! but u can always tell who the true fans are when songs like the ones i mentioned and some others during these concerts are played that have stuck by him.

sextonseven said:

Some other things I thought worth mentioning about last night's show:

Cee-Lo's band consisted of all women which made for a nice visual.

I don't know who was in charge of the music between sets, but "Lovergirl" and "Give It To Me Baby" were played back to back. Very cool.

When Prince was looking for people to dance with him during "Controversy", apparently a guy wanted to come onstage and Prince said, "I'm sorry brother, I can't dance with you!" and made the funniest face, lol.

yeah and did u hear the long version of sexy dancer as well? ltd's back in love again was played also

From the NY Daily News:

Kim Kardashian kicked off Prince's Madison Square Garden concert stage after she 'froze'

By Soraya Roberts
Daily News Staff Writer

Originally Published:Tuesday, February 8th 2011, 10:36 AM

Kim Kardashian got royally booted off stage at a Prince's Madison Square Garden concert.

The Purple One ushered the "Kourtney & Kim Take New York" star onstage Monday night -- despite joking that she "might be too sexy" – but was unimpressed when she started "shaking."

"I was so nervous I froze when Prince touched me!!!!" she tweeted after simply standing onstage, shaking her head and clapping as Prince cut a rug around her.

After a brief period of time, the "Raspberry Beret" singer appeared to have had enough of her antics.

"Get off the stage!" he scolded, grabbing the 30-year-old star's wrist and pointing her to the stairs, and she threw up her arms in rejection and left.

Her boyfriend, Kris Humphries, who was also at the show Monday night, didn't appear to mind her nerves. He gushed about his "gorgeous" girlfriend getting "shy on stage."

"Kimmy got nervous," the New Jersey Nets player tweeted. "So cute though."

Luckily, Kardashian, who earlier on in the evening had taken to Twitter to state she was going to "party like it's 1999," had a chance to make up for her lackluster stage presence.

"Went up on stage AGAIN! This time I redeemed myself!" she tweeted. "We all danced while Prince played the piano! Wow! What a night!"

On Tuesday morning, the E! star scolded critics, including Prince, for denigrating her stage presence.

"Come on people!" she tweeted. "Doesn't anyone have a sense of humor?! Prince must not have seen Dancing With The Stars! LOL"

Prince was playing MSG on the latest stop of his Welcome 2 America tour.

http://www.nydailynews.co...1DP8s2rhL

also VERY frustrating that thre papaer has to refer to him as "the rasberry beret singer" WTF???!!

i hear u on that or when they only talk about the "hits" ..don't mention that he tore the guitar up during dreamer ..nah can't mention that.

the pic of kim and prince also proves that being that close 2 the stage u can't see how bad ass that symbol stage truly is

Too bad Cee Lo's band was playing to tracks, though. He seemed out of breath by the third or fourth song.

For some reason, I think Morris Hayes is in charge of the songs played between acts.

BTW, Fredderic Yonnet (sp?) was the harmonica player -- he was also at the Gansevoort show in 2008 and I believe some of the London O2 shows.

was he around at the o2 london shows? he's been working with prince for sometime now but i thought he came about after.

i know he was at arras & werchter last summer , also in paris grand palais the year b4 that

bria seemed fond of him as well from what i can remember

yonnet came around during late 2008 and was around during the promotion of lotusflow3r

irinact, it looks to me like you followed the number one rule for taking concert pictures. NO FLASH! These are great pictures, you really did a good job. It makes me crazy when I hear people at concerts complaining that all they get pictures of is the back of peoples heads. Don't use your flash! What do they think is going to happen? Anyway, nice pics.

I had a wonderful time last light! Prince was energetic, funny at times, Funky, soulful and I'm just happy I heard "Laydown" and "Dreamer" live! Another highlight for me was "Mountains" and "I would Die 4 U". The shout out to Bobby Z was cool, especially when Prince acknowledged that along with Bobby Z many people have helped him during his career. Overall, I was totally satisfied and I'm just happy Prince is still healthy and alive. We've lost soooo many legends, so to have the opportunity to witness his artistry live is a blessing!

Co-sign, especially about getting to hear music from Lotusflower and 2010 live, finally! I too walked away in an ecstatic trance. What a night. He still taking every other artist out there to school. He was unbelievable.

P.S. I'm in love with the gold boots.

Yes, the gold boots were hot. I'd love to raid his closet just for the ruffled blouses!

i'm glad you liked pics. And yes, I didn't use any flash because flash would ruin everything.

But I envy people who has good photography skills.

I have photos of this too sexy lady who danced with Prince,

too bad is not front view. And I didn't take KK photo because

security(or usher) was staring at me at that time, and

I was right there in lodge's front row and

my big paparazzi camera was hanging from my neck.

Wow your pics are incredible....Where/what section were you? I was in Sec 85 Row C..which looks exactly opposite to you accross on the loge (accross from piano)....and I got no pictures..I broke the rule (which I did not know about) and used a flash...Thanks for the lesson...My pics are terrible...Then again, I have a crappy camera...I need an upgrade..

But thanks to you..I will have some..

Also the security in my loge section were really super strict at first.

I could not get ANY PICS at first. Once the guards switched posts, it was fine but still no good pics. I hope I get good saeasts like that again....at another time..

which too sexy woman are you talking about you took a picture of? The woman in gold on the stage whose name was Paula?

'Thanks for posting!

[Edited 2/9/11 13:36pm]

... great photos irinact !!!

That's how I remember the show. Wifey and I took a TON of photos and a few video clips. It was a great show and a few NY P Enthusiast we met after the show for a Meet Up & After said this was one of the BEST W2A shows.

That's HOT !!!

Nice to see you 2elijah. I had to keep looking at you when songs like Dreamer, Mountains and Lay Down came on because we were the only ones in our section that knew the songs/words! I about flipped when I heard the opening chords to Mountains.

[Edited 2/8/11 12:27pm]

Same here fickyt! You know I had to rock to those songs, especially "LayDown" and "Dreamer". Both songs I wanted to hear play live, so I was ecstatic when it came on. After hearing "LayDown" played live I was on a purple high the whole night. I absolutely loved the live version of "LayDown". and that song set the energy for the rest of the show, with it's funk rock beat. Prince was on fire on 2/7. I also loved the harmonizing from Liv, Shelby and Elisa on "Mountains".

Anyway, the people in my row may not have known the words, but they were up dancing to it though.. They couldn't help it. I had some pretty good folks in my row, with the exception of one. The couple on the left of me stood up the entire show dancing, clapping and singing with me. That's the kind of people I like being around at a show, positive, energetic, and having a good time. Unfortunately, the lady to the right of me, was quite the snob, but I know how to give back snobbery, so I didn't let that walrus-sized-ate-one-too-many-hamburgers-at-burger king, steal my energy. Yet she was up on her feet trying to keep up with me.

Well, I guess it's time for our wallets to get a rest, while Prince moves on to share his purple badness with the rest of the fans around the U.S.and elsewhere...well at least until he returns to NYC again. !!

OOPS.... Sorry...I think the Walrus-sized snob with an attitude, sitting next to me got hold of the pack of skittles. She looked hungry.

" Party over here! Last night's show was amazing and full of energy. Prince said he loves NYC and assured us he would not be gone too long and will return soon, because he loves NY!

I was so happy he opened the show with "LayDown" because that set off the energy for the entire night. MSG was pumping. Everywhere I looked in the arena, people was standing and dancing the whole night. The vibe from the audience members who attended was right on time, energetic and awesome.

Prince was shimmering in gold like the Prince that he is, and had the place on blast all night long. Late last year in October when he announced the concert series, and told people to bring foot spray, he should have told them to bring a foot massager as well, because after all that energy he brought to MSG last night, your feet had to hurt from the all-night dancing and the energy he projected.

It was cute and funny when the lady before Kim Kardashian came up, and he asked if she knew how to do the "bump" and then they both did the bump together;after that he said to her "Get off the stage, you're too sexy!". Hilarious.

I loved the slow-down version of "Little Red Corvette", and wish it could be released in the future on a cd, if he decides to put together a live cd version from some of these shows. He graced us with "Insatiable, Scandalous and Adore" and it was a major love fest. Prince and Misty Copeland also graced with us a choregraphed version of "The Beautiful Ones." Another highlight was Prince's dedication to BobbyZ when he and Shelby sang "Nothing Compares 2 U". Love the duet between those two and of course, as always, it was a pleasure to hear Shelby's voice in that song.

He also sang "Dreamer, Welcome2America, Poplife, some lyrics from Sign of the Times", and more. The short piano medley (as others mentioned here) were fun as he teased us with offering to play some of those songs.

I have to say I appreciated Cee Lo's performance last night and his voice is amazing. Love his style of music, and there was a slow side he sang that had a bluesy feel to it, that I loved. When Cee Lo sang "Forget You" my row got up and we sang and danced through the whole song. Prince and Ceelo did a great job performing "Crazy" together. Props to Elisa for the way she sang "Shake Your Body". She did a very good job, vocally and I thought it was cute and funny when Liv was chasing her on the stage, when Elisa playfully ran to the other side singing. I have to say all 3 of Prince's backup singers are fantastic and they harmonize beautifully, as always.

What a show, loved the whole concept of the W2A concert series, with Prince getting involved with his support for education and the arts, and donating a portion of the funds to 3 organizations who deserved it.

I also have to say it was fantastic and so appreciated, having Prince in New York City through these winter months, and so happy to know he enjoyed this city, performing here, and promising

I attended the 12/18, 12/29 and 2/7 shows at MSG and by far 2/7 was the most energetic, and I loved that the audience was on fire the entire night. The demand for the encore was deafening and people stomped and cheered until he came out, and he did not let us down. All I have to say is Thanks Prince and the NPG band for gracing NYC with your presence. Don't wait too long to return!

tres sexy, like a prince in shining armour

I saw this and my heart stopped......Mountains??? really wished I was there, but glad I saw him on 1/18...sigh

I'd pay double of what I paid to see P @ the garden (floor tickets), to see "The Revolution"

phonzarelli said:

First, excellent show! Next, a question.

Can someone tell me who was dancing to "Single Ladies"? I kept thinking it was Dutch from "The Shield". It couldn't have been, right? Right? If so, my mind...blown.

Stop hating on good ol' Bubblebutt. Granted, she's done a little less than nothing to be famous, but I'm glad she's made herself available to so many! If I tape a twenty to my forehead, I might have a chance. Maybe a fitty.

In closing, as much as I loved the show, I think it's time for him to pull a tour featuring The Revolution doing only Revolution-era stuff and b-sides. Bobby's heart attack brings the truth home. We are all on borrowed time. So, do it for us if no one else. The Pixies have been running in a circle doing "Doolittle" for the last couple of years to great success. Why not P?

A man can dream...

I wish I knew more about photography, especially under such conditions, I have no clue how to take pics in concerts. Unforunately, I was in the A row and a lot of times piano was blocking my view, and to make worse Prince spent a lot of time on other side by celebrities. But I'm happy that he danced a lot in the piano. Too bad I couldn't get good pic. of him playing guitar. I learned my lession: Never buy Row A.
