Review of the Green Door Gig wasnt sure where to put this but sounds like it was a good night Prince Funks Up L.A. at Uber-Exclusive Concert.
Shortly before 12:30, Prince & his band, Josh & C.C. Dunham and Morris Hayes kicked off the jazz set with “Chameleon” by Herbie Hancock. Next follows “Stratus” by Billy Cobham. It was a slowed down version and the way it was played left the crowd stunned. Prince then launched into “A Case Of You” by Joni Mitchell, a funky keyboard instumental. That followed with “What Is Hip?” by Tower of Power. So much for a jazz show as “Everyday People” along with other Sly & The Family Stone songs including “Sing A Simple Song” into “Thank You…”were played with vocals. Prince then went into “All The Critics Love U In L.A.” which was very heavy on guitar, and then went into “Satisfied”/”Cock-Eyed Woman”. Prince took the crowd back as he ripped into “Controversy”. His female vocalist Shelby J. sang “Baby Love” while in the crowd and then sang “Angel” by Sarah Mclachlan. That’s a surprise! Prince then continued the funk-filled onslaught with one of the funkiest versions of “Alphabet St.” with full vocals. The master of events then went into “Cream”, which was quite the crowd pleaser. That followed by “U Got The Look” and then a guitar-driven “Honky Tonk Woman” with Shelby J. again leading on vocals. He followed that with “1999″ as the energy in the place took off yet even higher. Prince then just started throwing out songs while the band jammed; “Le Freak” by Chic, a tease of “Foxy Lady” by Jimi Hendrix, then which lead into “Peach”! Prince was getting everyone to jump up and down on this one, including himself. Prince then pulled out the classic “Purple Rain” on the keys with the band backing him. Then he switched to guitar. Unbelievable. The crowd was left speechless and could only raise their hands n bob their heads. What a night. As the stars try to leave outside shortly after 2:30 A.M. , the paparazzi attack. Stars who attended the concert were Adrian Grenier, Bill Mahr, Melanie Griffith, Tara Reid and others of young hollywood. What a night in the city of angels. Thanks to one of Dr. Funkenberry’s patients for helping out.-Dr.FB http://www.drfunkenberry.com/ With Love there is no Death | |

Dunham and Morris Hayes rather than everyone but i am probably wrong
when did Cora start being called C.C i know its been a while cos thats how she was refered to at the O2 gigs but i swear i have always thought of her as Cora 
still sounds like a cool evening

The playlist sounds quite reminiscent of the Indigo2 gigs (not that I'm complaining!)
Dammit! I appear to have inadvertantly put on my invisibilty suit... | |

I think what the naysayers should remember or realize when Prince is playing these "same old songs" is that while he might be playing the song as you know it, he actually performs it totally revamped, changing the bass lines, synth lines, etc. so that it ends up becoming a totally different version . . . AND I LOVE THAT!!!
