Someone on twitter said Prince WILL be playing tonight, that they're tuning up his guitars backstage. Does anybody know anything about it?!

Lots of people on Twitter saying they set up Prince's Cloud and Hohner on stage. Oh man..

check out a clip here

from @drfunkenberry

Will have vid shortly of #revolunion #revolutionreunion on http://www.facebook.com/d...rryfanpage

..and this is where it's at.

from @queslove

Vicki (Bobby Z's wife) is giving a heartfelt speech about heart awareness #REVOLunion

from @questlove, very sweet.

"I wanna thank Prince from the bottom of my repaired heart" Bobby Z. #REVOLunion.

Looks like Prince almost decided to join them but then realized they didn't need his help, much like at that Gayngs show. Good on him.

so was he actually there?

I'm still shocked that they didn't have to call themselves RevDeluxe, or The Refolution, or maybe even better....The Original 8te, since Dez, Andre, and Gayle were also there....yeah Wendy wasn't really original...I wonder why Jill Jones wasn't involved?

Rumor is that he and Larry are here... Questlove on right now. Stay for another 3 hours? The equipment is still all set up.

aw man i can't hold up. I got school. Purple heads keep the updates rollin'

Just to be sure, who sang lead most of the night? Wendy and Lisa?

Would love to have been there! But right now I got a 2 yr little boy who loves to dance(and hates to have his diaper changed). Someday he'll be at Prince concerts dancin his little butt off !

Wendy for the most part with help from the rest of the revolution - like dez and brown mark in 1999.

There was also two back up singers. The guy - Greg/Gary - sorry forgot - is a singer from Minne who does a lot of prince stuff - sang lead on Uptown and a lot of the more prince parts on the songs

Ello, just wanted to clear up couple of rumors about Prince being there. I overheard alot of peeps during the show talking about how Prince was watching the show from the crowd. This is not true. He was a look alike sitn next to the stage, and at times he was dancing up front. The dude looked pretty close, but taller and obviously not him up close. Im not sayn Prince wasnt back stage or tucked away somewhere... but not this guy i was behind wasnt him. What an AWESOME show regardless and ?uest put on an amazing after party!!!!

I saw that guy at the pre-party and the concert. I heard he won the costume party the first night, but I wasn't there for that. He could be mistaken for Prince at a distance, especially if someone was really hoping to see Prince there.

Thanks for the info!!

The singers name is G Sharp. His facebook page - facebook.com/whoisgsharp has some rehearsal footage and he actually posts on the org sometimes. He did a great job btw.

Also - from the wife of a band member - prince was not there.

I didn't see the cloud but did think I saw the hoener (sp?) before the show. But who knows that could be wendy's or dez's. I think in some of the rehearsal footage you see it with wendy.

If anyone actually saw the cloud - speak up.

I mean the coat check guy said prince and larry were there. Seems like Larry was, but no prince.

That's Marcus. He's does kindasortainafunnywayfromadistance resemble Prince but only from the Emancipation era look. I've never seen him change it up. He didn't win the contest though that guy dressed as Rick James did(for some unfathomable reason).

I'm listening to this show right now! It's sending chills up my spine!
