I don't think there will be a concert tonight, Prince and the girls have been spotted hammer in hand fixing the roof of Shepherds Bush...

Lol, I knew there must be some banging going on between them

I have next week off. I was supposed to be tiling the bathroom, but I'd much rather be painting London purple.

Anyone got a picture or run down of the merch? I didnt get to check it out on the way in. And on the way out, only t-shirts remained... but saw price tags laying about for £10 £15, so Im assuming there were other bits avail?

The t-shirt with the face on it is £70, which was a bit pricy I thought. The standard t-shirts are £20.

Not really looking good for tonight at the moment is it...

I think those £70 ones were more like dresses and one version had a hood. Plus they said Limited Edition... whatever that means!

Then they had Black Tees with the 3rdEyeGirl logo, white tees with the face in black, and Black tees with the face in colour (I think)

Apart from the written logo tops, the £70 ones were the ones worn on the Jimmy Fallon performance.

Here's my full review of last night's show - I would really appreciate any shares on Facebook/Twitter/etc - thanks!!!

My 9 year old wants to go but there's no way I'd take him without a ticket, especially after the Electric Ballroom incident. He'd have been killed there!

on my right was a guy who near the end was texting 'Kiran'on his iPhone which intrigued me so I sneakily looked at him texting haha. He said to her something along the lines of 'thanks for tonight it was incredible', she replied with, and all I could see was, 'what about Thursday, you can sit in the purple box that night' and he replied saying that worked better for him. Thought I'd report back This suggests to me that something is going on Thursday, the Purple box may just be a label she's created meaning VIP or a venue with genuine boxes, hinting at larger venues maybe?

Wishing you were there too? I am!!!

Deb! How you keeping? Hope everything is well.

I'm only a tiny bit regretful that I didn't go. Decided early that there was no way I wanted to go and queue in the cold again. Could have still made it when it was revealed that the tickets were going to be £10 and Mrs Gent was happy for me to go. But you know our story, how could I go without her? It just wouldn't be the same, we should enjoy Prince shows together .

Aww Mr & Mrs Gent..the 02 love story...can't believe it was 7 years ago!! Im great thanks..well hope to see you both in some horrendous queue sometime soon!!

Great review - shared it too

I've decided to risk it I'm traveling down from Leeds to London. wednesday is my day off and I booked thursday off work as well.

Does someone want to start praying for me. I've not seen him live since the O2.

Haha I try my best! Was proper tempted to mention casually 'sorry I just saw who you were texting...' but had no way of following that up haha Also to BobDobb Im not sure I'm cut out for it as really my observations have only really added fuel to the rumour fire aha [Edited 2/10/14 9:16am]

Nice observtion...To me images of Koko, Clapham Grand, or perhaps Brixton come to mind....but I don't necessarily want to feed this rumour mill....just a hunch...

Super sleuth mgm94 could have something...... Purple box would lead me to think the royal box. Poss royal Albert hall/London palladium? I intend to drive down from newcastle this weekend if something is gonna happen.

Royal Albert Hall has Cirque du Soleil until the 16th....and if he's going to "work his way up" the iconic venues he'll probably play a couple more shows in venues similar to last night, then I'd say go to something like Hammersmith Apollo then RAH and then O2.... Again, just my instinct on how I see this thing playing out....so take it all with a grain of salt, especially as the food here could use a bit more of that!

How big is the queue now?

About 455

I was no 458

Finally after a very near miss last Tuesday, and a pointless 200 mile trip on Friday, I made it to a show. We were out of the house before the radio announcement finished & on the train less than 15 mins later.

Queue was really cold but we had some very lovely people around to pass the time with.

We were tired of standing so we grabbed a spot on the front row of the balcony (a few seats along from Mr Clinton!) I screamed my head off like those teenagers on that Beatles in America film. Especially at How Come U Don't Call Me Anymore, Guitar & Endorphine Machine.

I really want to know did Tashbootlegs get to see this or had she already gone home? I hope she was still there. I guess I will have to read back a bit to find out.
