Thank You Prince!

I want to thank you Prince for giving us two of the most amazing shows at the United Center & FINALLY at the House of Blues on Tuesday. I've always let it be known to anyone who would listen that you are a phenomenal artist who is in a league of your own; a bonified LEGEND! Tonight you freely demonstrated why the preceding is not an overstatement. You killed it, giving fans what was missing from Monday night's show - clarity of sound, long versions of classics blended with rare gems like "She's Always in My Hair," "I Could Never Take the Place of Your Man," "Dreamer" and "Sometimes it Snows in April," less emphasis on the NPG and MORE guitar. Speaking of guitar, your playing was incredible. Blazing solos, especially during Purple Rain, were undoubtedly some of the most precious highlights of the night for me. I am also glad that you also didn't make us wait for the show to start or the encores as they came without much delay.

The House of Blues was equally amazing. I hated seeing you booed at the after jam the night before so I knew you would redeem yourself and you did. I've never seen you perform classics such as "Mountains," "Days of Wild," and "Dance Electric!" You were gracious and appreciative. The show started at a respectable time and as a result, people didn't stand for hours - many of your fans are older, so standing for long periods of time is physically taxing. For those who were there the night before, it was a nice gesture to allow them to be able to attend Wednesday's show at the United Center for free. What a perfect night.

Thank you for listening to the critics and working so quickly to give us fans two shows that we not only would be pleased with, but also shows that we know are more consistent with the "Prince brand." You undoubtedly reaffirmed your musical supremacy and made me again proud to be a Prince fan. I regret that the casual fans couldn't see Tuesdays show, as it definitely had the power to convince all staunch non-believers!
