and the purple academy award goes to..Prince (Oscar bash concert) All I can say is after all the luck Ive had is that I finally got to touch the hohner controversy guitar. And yes I have its dna inside of me (some know why and how tee hee lol). Thanks ot my babygirl for making us go. Prince was his usual badass self. Oh...he reworked "Shhh" like he reworked "It" from in the movie Sign Of The Times. Required viewing/hearing in the near future. The Crimson n Clover cover is just amazing live. He tears up the guitar so much with it at the coda its worthy of any of his own written classic such as Joy In Repetition. He did the purple church hymm Controversy and "took us way back" with the rude nude chant and interlaced Housequake into it. Everybody was jumpin up and down on the one on his commnad as the song states to do. Awesome experience. Come Together had everyone actually joined together like a civil rights movement, but a movement of it being a funked up version. Incredible to see. A funny highlight aside is when he did '7', at the part where he says "6 others will curse me!" he said instead "I know 'yall tryin to curse me" with a smirk as a knowing wink to them damn naysayers lmao. Another quick highlight is he came entered the stage like an animal finally uncaged to sing his upcoming Old School Company prancin' and prowling with his studded cane pointing it and jabbing it at the audience and stage. Then they also did India Aries' Brownskin for Shelby to highlight and When Will We Be Paid but sung to the tune of People Get Ready for Lynn W to shine. And one rock song that is so unexpected that he covered was Jimmy Eat Worlds 'Take Some Time' in which he displayed his overtaking of anothers song and displayed his purple guitar skills...again!.His final words as he threw down his blessed Hohner was "Hollywood, dont mess with me! Ive got too many hits!" and walked off stage floating on a cool breeze. He was on his j.o.b. tonight as was the band and Shelby and Lynn. Hello to Pej and Amorbella again and Darklotus, Getwild, Kurt, his wife, Cheryl. Gila (oh my), the band, Eric, and the rest of the purple freaks I may have foolheartedly forgot. Good sanging Darlklotus 
Phew! [Edited 2/23/09 17:10pm] Guitar DNA is now in your system eh?  IMAGINE what would be in his system if he licked Prince...? (Sorry I had to!)   | |

I thought the show was great! I got in line about eight oclock and was surprised that there werent more people waiting. I guess everybody doesnt check out my homie Dr. Funkberry  . Everybody was soo cool. I want to give props to the dude who placed his jacket on the ground so the girl with the british accent could remove her heels and stand on his coat in order to rest her ankles. who says chivalry is dead?? They started letting people in after an LAPD patrol car stopped in the middle of the street, the female officer got out of the car and said something to the people working the door. As soon as she started walking away, they began letting people inside. This was close to midnight. I am guessing there is some ordinance about having people standing on a sidewalk, not sure but big props to that officer. when we went inside my girlfriend and I were right next to the stage left. There were two seemingly drunk women bumping into people even before the show got started. They were fine so I didnt mind at all. I have been to about eight prince shows all together. The thing that amazes me is he is better every time I see him. How is tht possible??? I was hoping he would play new songs and not a hits show. When I heard the opening of purple rain, I was kinda disappointed, but then he flipped it with Old School Company. That song is off the meters!!! I want it released now!!!! Very fonky, soulful and bluesy...who else but Prince can put different genres in one song and it works??? The rest of the show has been reviewed all ready do I wont go into that. I will just say besides my girlfriend almost passing out, the show was great. We stayed a little while after and talked to the harmonica player. then we toured the club, which is extremly nice. we got home around 5am after hitting del taco and stayed up went to work a couple of hours later, got home and we both crashed at like 6pm yesterday. oh and $100 for the show was actually a bargain. I think that is the cheapest prince ticket price since Musicology. He is the only artist I will pay triple digits to go see. | |

Thanks PEJ and Getwild for the reviews! Glad we all had such a good time. And Getwild was dead on - his newbie friend had the time of his life. I think he was so exhausted from the show that he was relieved when Prince ended it! LOL
Getwild, you mentioned: - For the first time in awhile, Prince was not using a lyric book to remember the lyrics to the songs he was playing (or maybe he was and I didn't see it?) Prince had a ~19" flatscreen monitor on the floor in front of him - he's gone digital with his lyrics! Looked like a simple word doc that someone would scroll down on the page as the song progressed. | |

He's gotten DNA before. This just topped off his tank. We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

I'd actually buy a ticket to see RD at a Prince concert
Prince should have RD live at his house for a week noting his every move, The commentary would be hysterical. So RD tell us.... whats in Princes refridgerator... "more pasta on sticks and some crazy shieeeet that i aint touchin..." [Edited 2/25/09 9:26am] | |

That was a cool review PEJ! I'm glad you had a great time partying with Prince and the Band! I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that | |
