Review Antwerpen prt2

Prince pakt uit met hits

Geen hond die zijn nieuwe cd’s nog koopt , maar live blijft Prince (44) een publieksfavoriet. Een eerste Belgisch concert in vier jaar bekoorde vrijdag het uitverkochtte Antwerpse Sportpaleis met een ongeziene reeks hits.

Lange tijd liet hij zich aanspreken als “The arist formerly known as Prince”. Net als het woord “Slave”, tijdens concerten op zijn voorhoofd geschreven, een symbool van verzet tegen de platenfirma die hem zolang uitbuitte. Tijdens concerten kregen oude songs nauwelijks nog een kans. Geen probleem, zo bleek jaren geleden al: zelfs in een urenlange jam kent de artiest uit Minneapolis zijn gelijke niet.

Tijdens deze concertreeks prijkt opnieuw de naam ‘Prince’ op de affiche, en staat de poort naar het verleden wijd open. Na een koppige intro – zijn nieuwe cd’s bevatten nogal wat Zappaëske jazzfunk – zet “Pop Life” de toon voor wat volgt: een schier oneindige reeks hits, slechts af en toe door wat onbekendere songs of een streepje jazz onderbroken:”Money Don’t Matter 2Nite”, “Purple Rain”, “Housequake”, James Brown’s “Sex machine”, “Strollin’”, “When You Were Mine”, “Strange Relationship”, “Sign Of The Times”, “Take Me With You”, “Raspberry Beret”, “Nothing Compares 2 U”, ...

The New Power Generation – met saxofoniste Candy Dulfer – begeleidt Prince vakkundig door zijn nostalgische tocht, maar slaagt er slechts deels in de opwinding van weleer terug te roepen. Prince zelf flirt met het publiek, predikt voor waarheid, geloof en eenheid tegenover de vijand: politici, de media, de duivel. Sfeer is er genoeg, maar nooit de verzengende ambiance van de vorige tour, waarin tussen de jams nauwelijks plaats was voor oude songs.

Maar met concerten als dit zal Prince, ondanks een uitdovende carrière, zijn oude fans nog héél lang aan zich binden.

Some parts translated:
- In 1995, Prince had written Slave on his forehead !
- He played an ongoing stream of hits at his recent concert.
- There's not a soul who buys his new records.

Some parts translated prt2 :

There's a lot of excitement but never the excitement from the last tour, where there was no space for old hits in between the jams.

With concerts like this one Prince will , despite a carriere that's extinguishing, commit his to his fans for a long long time.





An other newspaper wrote :
... a candidate for concert of the year in Belgium ...

Yeah I noticed that second last line. I disagree that the last tour was more exciting than this one. Tho to my personal'taste he could have played less hits, he made a nice mix for the people that aren't aware of his recent music. I would personally prefer that he would play long versions of older songs that weren't really huge hits or no hit at all.
You are not my "friend" because you threaten my security.
