Although most reviews will appear no sooner than later this evening, I had heard an interview with a fan on WDR 2-radio this morning. She said that the concert wasn't any good at all and that she only stayed until the end because she liked Prince.

Here's a quick one from Kölner Stadtanzeiger: http://www.ksta.de/html/a...5997.shtml

Take notice of the hilarious comments from readers.

I think we get the picture... the concert was badly managed by Prince, sound was loud and terrible and he played only 75 (or 80 minutes).

I feel sorry for you guys but really does every interview or press article about this catastrofe [edit: wrong word] fiasco deserve its own thread?

Certainly not, that's why I started that thread. I am sure that more reviews will be posted and for that reason there's a thread now. Any problem with that?

"Who like it to bath in a mash of sound was right here: In his only german concert in Cologne superstar Prince forced his fans are stuffing the ears. And as the audience after only a single song even had to call the encore, finally it was clear: It will be a memorable evening......"

Thanks for the links... Der Spiegel is not really enthousiastic about this fiasco (I don't think this one deserves the word concert) The comment of someone asking for pictures of the audience with their ears stuffed with paper-towels made me laugh though.

It's too bad you all had to go through this horror...
