Well if the story is true about Prince agreeing for it to be taped in HD, maybe we'll be able to see it on DVD (or not). |
I can't imagine him playing Montreux without bringing horns... Maybe they're not mentioned but still going. |

This song is absolutely one of my favorites! Why? It was just Cool and Smooth! and it did not sound like anything else during that time. |

Justfortheloveofit said: More info.. Sounds really good. And back in Paisley Park Studios?
http://www.drfunkenberry.com/2009/07/01/more-info-on-prince-montreux/ This is interesting... We just got word that Prince has rehearsed the 3 players: John Blackwell, Rhonda Smith and Renato Neto for 2 weeks now and taught them new and old material alike as well as a few covers. Sounds cool.
Prince is using a smaller crew these days to allow space for the audience to properly hear his favorite players right now. We are being told that Prince will, of course be featured on guitar throughout the concert but mainly this year his goal is to showcase his sometimes overlooked vocal abilities. Hence the stripped down vibe of this crew. As shown on his most recent performance on the Tonight Show, Prince feels he is improving as a vocalist and has taken the time to re-work arrangements to showcase his gift. Some tunes will just feature Renato on piano and Prince on vocals. He is Prince’s favorite pianist and as a fan of his work, it’s a treat for him just listening to Renato every night without any audible distraction. Prince has also been listening alot to new jazz star Esperanza Spalding. He attended her concert in St. Paul, Minnesota recently and she and her impressive band came over to Prince’s Paisley Park Studio for a tour and jam session that lasted til sunrise. Now that’s hot! He loves to play with her and always teases he will join her band one day when he’s good enough. Ha! BTW, she is a must see if you ever y’ll get the chance. In addition to Esperanza, Prince is a big fan of Ana Moura. Her command of an audience is very impressive. She has a strong voice that radiates sensuality. Accompanied by 3 musicians when Prince saw her, Ana was a template as well as Esperanza for Prince’s new approach to performance. Awesome news. Let’s hope this concert makes it’s way to the United States soon!-Dr.FB Purple Fact #542: Prince can make a Weeble™ fall down. |

Hmmm, why hasnt it been announced properly? this is like two weeks away...i dont get it |
I do get it.

yeah but even if hes lost it the whole thing dont sound right. he has a bloody website and he hasnt announced it on there? and its meant to be three shows in one night and i presume he would be the headliner |

^Montreux 2007 was announced fairly late in the day too if I remember correctly. and he's announced stuff much later than this before. It's a small (but reputable) festival; I doubt there are many tickets, and it will sell out regardless.

but speaking about madness, why isn't this up on LF.com? Are they peeved off that none of us have bought the Opus? yes, we are simply not worth it |
Been pretty quiet in Princeworld recently, so this is good news. I really enjoyed the recent Leno performance, so if this is the kind of show Montreux is in for, it should be amazing. Prince, Rhonda, John and Renato have great chemistry.

Still a shame he didn't utilise his website to announce this. he might just have forgotten all about the website, if the discussions on the putsflower forum are to be believed. [Edited 7/1/09 1:25am] |
Lol this is great news but strange at the same time. How on earth are we able to buy tickets for this? No word on Lotus or Montreux isn't helpful. Plus i don't know if peeps will be able to book a hotel so late without having big bucks which i dont have.

The Montreux Jazz Festival is going to be a little bit more funky this year as a musical genius is planning on taking the stage not once, but twice. Funny how it started off as PRINCE IS SLATED 2 PLAY THE MONTREAUX JAZZ FESTIVAL July 18. THIS TIME HE WILL PLAY 3 CONCERTS IN ONE NIGHT 4 WHAT IS SAID 2 B THE HIGHEST FEE PAID 2 ANY PER4MER IN THE FESTIVAL’S HISTORY.
Highest paid? Well all right then. No doubt those performances will be historical.-Dr.FB give it a week and it'll be just the one.... We ain't from Hollywood, so you know it's all good |

The one and only Prince WILL be performing 2 shows at Montreux this year and he is bringing a musically talented band with him. Playing with Prince at the legendary festival will be Rhonda Smith, Renato Neto, and John Blackwell. In Prince's words: "S.O.S.". © Bart Van Hemelen

The topic says CONFIRMED, yet clearly it is NOT????

So is he playing or not??

But AEG is looking for family members to take his place? AEG are looking for anyone to fill the dates, they will speak to all the big names 50 dates is alot of space that only MJ could fill by himself after him the only other big act will be Prince and Stevie and The Boss, they may get U2 who knows  Da, Da, Da....Emancipation....Free..don't think I ain't..!

He will be there, as it looks now, but how many times he'll play and in what 'vibe' is as of yet completely unknown.  SO, to be ABSOLUTELY sure you have a ticket to a Prince show you have to buy the ticket the day AFTER the show ? :-p |
We'll see. |

Been thinking the self same thing! Not taking anything away from the Good DrFB, just out of curiosity...if this is not yet up on the Montreux website (or LF...well who knows if it'll ever be up there), is this REALLY confirmed yet? |

EVEN NICER IMHO, this is not necessarily a wonderful thing. I go to a Prince concert to see Prince do his thing, not hear his favorite players. HOWEVER, this group of musicians with him just happens to be my favorite line up so that is wonderful. IMHO, it would appear that Prince is trying to spin something. There is certainly someone here that can put it into words better than I. He's had the minimalistic stage for years. He's been showcasing his lineup for years. He's playing guitar, yes. He's showcasing his vocals, wonderful. He's stripping down the vibe and stage, okay. He's bringing it down a notch. Still. Instead of just embracing that, he's spinning it (again IMHO). Hype, hype, hype. He's a wonderful performer. The hype is, for me, somewhat insulting to himself and me. |
Nothinbutjoy said: (...) He's a wonderful performer. The hype is, for me, somewhat insulting to himself and me. Totaly agree with you. I would love to go since Montreux isn't that far away from here, but still something to organize: how to go, where to sleep, who's coming with. All that childish behavior isn't worthy, not for me, not for him. I'm even wondering how concertorganisers put up with it. |

You put stuff out of context. This is not a tour, noting organised. Just a one-off show. The festival was had its playlist full for weeks. Enter Prince. And all types of fuzziness about whatever. No commitments, no excuses, no communications, nothing. `They` should act a tiny bit as if we're all mature people with lives. |

Of course Montreux is not your standard festival, and I know it runs much longer than many other festivals. But the promotion of any artist at any festival surely is up to the festival and not the artist himself - right? Also, previous Montreux rumours have said that tix would be on sale from something like 4th July. - maybe this still holds true? |
We get it. Prince is a jerk, past his prime and disrespects his fans.

Geez the mods really should put sometype of limit on the number of posts one whiny ass can make on one thread...seriously |
karryflower said: But the promotion of any artist at any festival surely is up to the festival and not the artist himself - right?
Yes, and they are doing a poor job. Agree? Also, previous Montreux rumours have said that tix would be on sale from something like 4th July. - maybe this still holds true?
Rumours are all that. Also: that sales date is pretty short notice for a regularly organised multi-day festival with international attraction. So yes I agree with you, but nothing new here. |

I don't think so mister, that corny old line. what makes u think he's gonna even come to London? he didn't even turn up for his own book launch in London last year. he was in Paris recently and didn't perform then went striaght back to LA. so why speculate, it nonsense until we get some facts. I think ppl are getting to ahead of themselves let him play Montreux first! |

anybody from the uk thinking of going?
"Sisters and brothers in the purple underground, find peace of mind in the pop sound!"
"i like u2; just not the band" |
I read an article on spin.com that said he needs double hip replacements and he's refusing surgery based on religious beliefs. Maybe the stripped down band is his way of beginning to perform more laid-back shows that aren't as hard on his body as his performances were in the past? Are we beginning to see a "geriatric Prince"? |

Yeah, I mean like dancing plus almost 3 hour shows that are now lucky to push 1 hour 40/50 min. You're preaching to the choir about Prince acting normal about his business dealings there It's not something I endorse, but realistically speaking, I expect flat out flakiness.
I totally consider off-stage charisma. Prince's business dealings, since I am a fan I will speak specifically of his dealings with his fans, leave plenty to be desired. He's lost "it" was just rather broad. Prince is definately a mixed bag and lately the bag is filled with more and more pencil shavings. |

Well then, maybe if I go c Estaire on the 11th or 12th - I won't have to worry about her having to leave the stage early just incase he thinks (OR SOMEONE ELSE THINKS) he might show up! |
EDD said: Nothinbutjoy said: (...) He's a wonderful performer. The hype is, for me, somewhat insulting to himself and me. Totaly agree with you. I would love to go since Montreux isn't that far away from here, but still something to organize: how to go, where to sleep, who's coming with. All that childish behavior isn't worthy, not for me, not for him. I'm even wondering how concertorganisers put up with it. Because they know they'll make money off of him, thats how. |
Have fun...not 2 much...be safe. Last Night, I spent another lonely Christmas...Darlin' Darlin' U shoulda been there.~Prince. |
meh. i can't even get excited for this. another one-off show, far away, on short notice, with huge prices. the only semi-interesting bit is that, thankfully, he seems to have ditched cora and josh.

!The check. The string he dropped. The Mona Lisa. The musical notes taken out of a hat. The glass. The toy shotgun painting. The things he found. Therefore, everything seen–every object, that is, plus the process of looking at it–is a Duchamp. |
LondonStyle said: More Info On Prince & Montreux
Posted in Celebrity News, Entertainment, Music on July 1st, 2009 by drfunkenberry Drfunkenberry.com Exclusive Photo Of Prince We just got word that Prince has rehearsed the 3 players: John Blackwell, Rhonda Smith and Renato Neto for 2 weeks now and taught them new and old material alike as well as a few covers. Sounds cool. Prince is using a smaller crew these days to allow space for the audience to properly hear his favorite players right now. We are being told that Prince will, of course be featured on guitar throughout the concert but mainly this year his goal is to showcase his sometimes overlooked vocal abilities. 
Hence the stripped down vibe of this crew. As shown on his most recent performance on the Tonight Show, Prince feels he is improving as a vocalist and has taken the time to re-work arrangements to showcase his gift. Some tunes will just feature Renato on piano and Prince on vocals. He is Prince’s favorite pianist and as a fan of his work, it’s a treat for him just listening to Renato every night without any audible distraction. Prince has also been listening alot to new jazz star Esperanza Spalding. He attended her concert in St. Paul, Minnesota recently and she and her impressive band came over to Prince’s Paisley Park Studio for a tour and jam session that lasted til sunrise. Now that’s hot! He loves to play with her and always teases he will join her band one day when he’s good enough. Ha! BTW, she is a must see if you ever y’ll get the chance. In addition to Esperanza, Prince is a big fan of Ana Moura. Her command of an audience is very impressive. She has a strong voice that radiates sensuality. Accompanied by 3 musicians when Prince saw her, Ana was a template as well as Esperanza for Prince’s new approach to performance. Awesome news. Let’s hope this concert makes it’s way to the United States soon!-Dr.FB Europe Tour ?? Prince is so f'ing talented... and he has so much music that would fit perfectly in a jazz festival type environment Seriously how many people play so many types of music and so well. No one Dance... Let me see you dance |

jethrouk said: anybody from the uk thinking of going?
It seems a horid thing to say; but I can only go if my MJ tickets are refunded. I hope if I do get to go, Prince pays some sort of homage since the gigs would have aready started. Why would he have to pay homage? MJ is by then buried. The quarreling over the heritage has just started. What part does Prince have in there? And why P? (just an open question...) |
2020 said: Geez the mods really should put sometype of limit on the number of posts one whiny ass can make on one thread...seriously
One cannot stop to express what is wrong. A little compensation for the aura that some of us appear to see? Limiting such asses would be so un-American. A little realism won't do bad. Is it just about the format or also about the contents, that you are complaining? Will you be going to Montreux? Both shows? |
Purpleaxxe1972 said: I read an article on spin.com that said he needs double hip replacements and he's refusing surgery based on religious beliefs. Maybe the stripped down band is his way of beginning to perform more laid-back shows that aren't as hard on his body as his performances were in the past? Are we beginning to see a "geriatric Prince"?
Physical situations aside, at some point soon P is going to have to make a transition to a more age appropriate type of music. Singing the sexy bedroom stuff much past 50 will start to look a bit silly. It was painful to see JB singing the same stuff in his final days. P should not go down that same road. What better place than a JAZZ festival to introduce his new more mature sound? Funky jazz seems to be the obvious direction. I'm just thinking out loud here about how I'd like to see it go down. First performance- what everyone might expect. Second performance- a killer jazz funk set that sets the tone for his future sound and then as time goes on more and more of the funky jazz and less and less of Little Red Corvette stuff. |

Calm down dear, have a smoke and a pancake. It's great that Prince is bringing a tight version of a well liked band to play a gig like this. If he chooses to play an MJ tribute then cool but that's his choice. I'm just happy to reflect and appreciate the man at the moment for what he is. "Sheeeeeeeeit" |
Couldnt care less. There was a time not to long ago where I traveled the world to see him play. You blew it P. With me at least.

So wait a minute. Montreux is in Canada now. And they speak Swiss German in Montreal. Montreal isn't in Switzerland, it moved to Canada with all the French speakers. Montreux is next door to Montreal. Except they're on different continents. The main thing to understand, then, is that Canada is part of America now. Ah, this makes perfect sense.

Prince or no Prince, theres no way im going to anything thats not been completely confirmed by him or his ppl its all a bit fuzzy or then he announces days before he actually performing all that is silly. to be quite honest i rather go to my lovebox weekender on that day seems more fun and something that has been arranged properly, booked tickets with there acts comfirmed months ago on there website and other outlets. there is no maybe's or guessing games.

It's the 2nd of July now. So what do you mean? It was announced last year? Last time he played? (2007) And even if it was that way that still doesn't make it right. Relax man, it has been like this most of the time with confirmations...it fuels the hype...nothing more nothing less...
And he is alive...so there is a chance for more concerts... If it has been this way, it still does not make it right. How many times do I have to repeat this until `it` lands? And BTW, I am relaxed. Really. Why do people think I am not when I am making my point extra extra clear? |

Vocals? Where are the guitars? On the lotusflow3r album. The jazz feel at the LA lateshow with Renato/Rhonda/John was great at the start, and lost something by the end with Prince's dissatisfaction and all, but one could notice he wanted the vocals out front with the stool, stage setup, etc.THAT TRIO backing Mr.Nelson at a top shelf jazz show has great possibilities. |

That said, let me say that Prince is a real asshole for not touring the continent! Since 2002 all he did was Montreux 2007 and the O2 shows, having fans obligated to travel and driving them to having extensive costs to see him perform! It sucks! Yay to bands like U2, or even Coldplay (who suck, IMO) for taking the effort to tour around the world after almost each new album, enabling all fans to see them perform! If that's your reason for callin someone an asshole... People Call me Rude
I Wish We All Were Nude I Wish There Was No Black and White I Wish There Were No Rules! |

MobeenAzhar said: Peeps,
Realistically does anyone know where we can get tickets from tommorow? I'm surprised theres no lotis presale or anything.... X Tickets will be available through ticketcorner at 14 h on Saturday. Two years ago, it was impossible to get them on line, only by getting to one of their point of sales in Switzerland. |
Is anyone in Switzerland willing to get me 2 tickets? I scared that w/s will die under the weight. Anyone? Org note me please.

Don't you see a pattern? Longer breaks in between tours? And perhaps not yet a trend but some points do appear: doing a 'tour' of shows in one spot (Vegas, O2, ...). In other words: Hoe does not attach a 'proper' 'classic' (world)tour to each album. He tours less often. |
That's it the program has been modified

So it is official now. |

eh????

Just looking at the Jazz fest website for tickets and each gig has seperate prices...do you think this means its CHF 195.- / 480.- PER show. If thats right its roughly £110.00 for 7pm and £110 for midnight show....or am I just delusional??(thats rhetorical-no cheeky answers thanks!!) |

I'm sure I read that 2. Now Folklore. A bit like "presale" 
Lotusflow3r.com: The lotus (Sanskrit & Tibetan = padma) is one of the Eight Auspicious Symbols and one of the most poignant representations of Buddhist teaching. The roots of a lotus are in the mud, the stem grows up through the water, and the heavily scented flower lies pristinely above the water, basking in the sunlight. This pattern of growth signifies the progress of the soul from the primeval mud of materialism, through the waters of experience, and into the bright sunshine of enlightenment. |

They noticed the error and now you cannot book any longer.... |
On the phone with ticket corner they confirmed that there was something unexpected this morning...

They also say that tickets for the first concert was supposed to be only on sale on the internet and the second one in shops (and also on internet ?). I can't say that it's 100 % sure as it was a kind of panic there with a lot of phone calls... Anyway, the information can be useful. Also one more useful info that I'm not sure it wasn't posted : there is a limit of 2 tickets for each show. Ok, thanks very much for the info Jazzon, gonna hope for the best at 1pm! Nothing can compare to your lovely face |

Ticketcorner Hotline says that the tickets for the first show that went on sale on their website this morning by accident will be invalidated.

I need to be able to actually witness the show. |
kriskome said: Ticketcorner Hotline says that the tickets for the first show that went on sale on their website this morning by accident will be invalidated.
So everyboday who bought tickets this morning - U better grab some again at 2pm. For the others (like me) maybe there is still a chance... Ha, they better let me know in time. And refund me in time. Etc. |
As it now appears you need a separate ticket for each show - so how can you guarantee you'll be able to get a ticket for both shows? I'm gonna go if I can get tix for both shows - if I get tix for one, it'll be up for sale as soon as is possible!

im so jealous... |
oqdeange said: i was thinking about how they could manage the 2 shows in the same place (auditorium stravinsky..)
we have..1 ticket for the fisrt show 1 ticket for the second show how can they check tickets for the second show?!?! or did the ticket for the first show is good/valid for the second show too?!?!? That's the main problem ! They will have to make the venue empty between the two shows. And it's the baddest place to do this as there's only one stairs to go in or out. Plus, for those who attended two years ago they could realize that it was one of the worst organization around. So I will write an e-mail this week to say that I'm concerned about how they will manage people who have tickets for both shows. I have the feeling that they haven't thought about this and I don't want to be put at the end of the second line while coming back from the first show. I'm encouraging everybody to drop a line to the organization about their concern regarding this issue which is actually a concern regarding how people who have paid 400 CHF for an evening in the festival will be treated. |

say what you like about MJ-but if you've seen the latest Q magazine cover-you have to see it to know what i mean. Absoloutley no retouches-quite a brutal cover-yet apparently no retouches were ordered. He was happy with a true representation of himself. Good on him-cuz these pics our guy does-man i hate em'. Sooooo fake Sorry, but that's kind of funny considering.... |

Sooooo fake Trying to be funny? Ironic? I love MJ. But, to hold his carved face up, vs. Prince's photoshopped image, as evidence that his is "happy with (his true self)" is laughable. Most celebrities have airbrushed/touched up pics in magazines and promos. A handful take the drastic measures that Michael did to alter their image. "I'VE GOT A MIND FULL OF GOOD INTENTIONS

if im ever trying to be either funny or ironic-i'll put it in capitals for you-but as i wasn't-get over yourself.

PS-and thats actually what they look like on the day of the photo-not the day they were born before you try twisting anything else |

I commended the guy-i'd rather see what someone ACTUALLY looks like-not what they WANT to look like i may not have chosen the best way to put it-but I'm impressed MJ was comfortable enough with himself to do this-and you get all bold and emotional
Roll on Tuesday-so you can get it all out already. 1. I always bold my type. Sorry if you don't like it. I do it so it's easier for me to read. 2. Speaking of easy to read...re-read what I typed. I wasn't getting emotional about MJ at all. I was pointing out the irony of your statement. I wasn't defending MJ, I was commenting on the fact that MJ was never comfortable with his appearance... look at the evolution of his face. Anyways, thanks for leaping to judgement and making a sideways comment about Tuesday. It's one thing to get snarky about internet comments..it's a bit more to misread something and then get an attitude about it. You are friendly.

gurgi said: You did not even grab half of what I wrote. Typical for that generation I mentioned. Because if Prince would have his act together this would not have happened. Now ticketcorner issued tickets for two events per concert (must be because the ticket limit was 2 per show/card/address/account and people could get double that); they did not communicate nor correct stuff in time when they discovered their errors. And in time is before 14:00 hours CEST 4-jul-2009 here. So that is what I mean with what we might see happen on monday. Really nice... |

See the 'original post'. That was obvious and I pointed it out. Only after that the ignorance accusations you throw around became true. But not from me, since otehrs did the 'yadda yadda' thing, which leads to pure self-inflicted ignorance. What I pointed out is not so obvious since one would have to have been there and seen what went on. I.e.: it is not a Crystal Ball type debacle that hits everyone. But it still is an issue that shows certain qualities, effects of decisions, etc from the event promotor/prince/whoever. |

polkadotbliss said: hey Skywalker..
whatever buddy. I kinda expected a 360 degree spin from you. you say my comments were 'laughable'-asked if i was being'funny' which i plainly was not.....and-the feel of your comments was what-open arms - friendliness ?
what are you-a 14 year old-do me a favour!!!!! Im so tired of being jumped on for daring to mention MJ-especially as i have never showed any disrespect to the guy in my comments-plainly some do get emotional-which is cool-but don't deny it. Nothing wrong it- that except when its thrown in my face-then denied I'm not gonna let someone belittle what i say-especially when they completely took it the wrong way-and sorry i didn't type in bold-get some glasses or lenses like the rest of the world-or put in your signature-that the bold type is not rudeness-just a medical condition-oh sorry, i see your already SHOUTING in there too
either way-lets beg to differ cuz it feels like im typing English-and your reading French or something I'll clarify my original post and then let's let it be done. Basically, I was saying that it was ironic and/or humorous for you to mention MJ as being cool with how he looks...because he carved his face to hell, yet doesn't bother with a photoshop touch up. That's all. I wasn't being defensive of Michael Jackson. If anything, I was suggesting that I'd think a retouching via photoshop would be more preferable to a hatchet nose job. Make sense? Somehow, I think you misread me as being way emotional/defensive about Michael Jackson. I wasn't defending him at all. "I'VE GOT A MIND FULL OF GOOD INTENTIONS

Here's an English link I found: http://news.theage.com.au/breaking-news-world/prince-sells-out-in-eight-minutes-at-montreux-festival-20090705-d8lx.html Prince sells out in eight minutes at Montreux Festival
July 5, 2009 - 3:39AM More than 7,000 tickets for two concerts by Prince at the Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland later this month sold out within eight minutes of going on sale Saturday, the organisers said. Despite prices ranging between 195 Swiss francs for standing room and 480 francs (442 US dollars, 316 euros) for a seat, and a two ticket per person limit, the shows were fully booked within seven minutes and 58 seconds. Prince is due to play two consecutive concerts on July 18, the closing night of the lakeside festival. The multiple Grammy award and Oscar winner's appearance at Montreux was only announced on Friday, the opening night, following weeks of rumours. Two years ago, 4,500 Prince tickets were sold in 10 minutes, then a record for the western Swiss festival which is commonly nine-tenths booked by the time it starts each summer. The 95 paying concerts over the next two weeks include Steely Dan, Herbie Hancock, Black Eyed Peas, Alice Cooper, Steve Winwood, Monty Alexander, Lily Allen, Wyclef Jean, Marianne Faithfull, John Fogerty, Grace Jones and B.B. King among an eclectic host of top billings. © 2009 AFP This story is sourced direct from an overseas news agency as an additional service to readers.

More often than not, there is an aftershow following one-off gigs. That doesn't mean there will be, but... Prince likes to stretch out during these informal sets when he does them. Aftershows are usually announced at the last minute, so if you go to the show, do some preemptive networking. Purple Fact #542: Prince can make a Weeble™ fall down. |
abierman said: to the people who are going: have fun!
That said, let me say that Prince is a real asshole for not touring the continent! Since 2002 all he did was Montreux 2007 and the O2 shows, having fans obligated to travel and driving them to having extensive costs to see him perform! It sucks! Yay to bands like U2, or even Coldplay (who suck, IMO) for taking the effort to tour around the world after almost each new album, enabling all fans to see them perform! Maybe it's hard to tour with a bum hip. The check. The string he dropped. The Mona Lisa. The musical notes taken out of a hat. The glass. The toy shotgun painting. The things he found. Therefore, everything seen–every object, that is, plus the process of looking at it–is a Duchamp. |

The festival got under way at the end of last week, and will also feature Herbie Hancock making his 30th Montreux appearance. Tickets for a seat at one of Prince's consecutive two concerts cost 480 Swiss Francs (£273), while a two ticket limit per person was imposed.

That said, let me say that Prince is a real asshole for not touring the continent! Since 2002 all he did was Montreux 2007 and the O2 shows, having fans obligated to travel and driving them to having extensive costs to see him perform! It sucks! Yay to bands like U2, or even Coldplay (who suck, IMO) for taking the effort to tour around the world after almost each new album, enabling all fans to see them perform! Maybe it's hard to tour with a bum hip. You know that that is bullshit, Prince still does aftershows until 6 in the morning! I'm here for the gangbang! |

Some 7,000 tickets for two Prince concerts at the Montreux Jazz Festival have been snapped up eight minutes after going on sale, say organisers. Link http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/8135952.stm YEAH... No doubt Prince is still the 1 & only !!!!! |

Care to share some context? He hasn't played a show over here since 2007. It's only a small room. Not a 20.000 people ice-skate rink which he'll play a few times over the weekend. Not part of a tour where he'll come closer to the people anyway. So it's most of Europe's active, hardcore fans in that small room... (who can still afford this during a U$A-rooted cri$i$) |

(who can still afford this during a U$A-rooted cri$i$) we should compare it to U2 for example. how long did it take them to sell out their shows? |
How often does U2 do Montreux?

udo said: How often does U2 do Montreux?
Or a comparable sized room for just the whole of Europe? I interpreted prince is the 1 and only in the contxt of tix sales. I don't think that 7.000 tix for Europe (or even Switserland alone) is impressive at all. |

Indeed. |
potser said: squirrelgrease said: The aftershow for this gig will probably be historic, considering the main sets are to be a laid back affair.
Someone please pay off the soundboard guy for access to a jack. how big is the change there will be after show after the two sets, of which the second one will probably end at 1 AM or something? and if so...where will it be? I doubt there'll be an aftershow as the 2nd concert starts at midnight (if he's on time)-ish, so that can go on til 2.30-3... by the time gear and people have moved, it won't start til 5 or 6... however this would be very good as I have until half 1 sunday afternoon until my flight back to London without a hotel room to wait...

Nonsense. Whether he is at home or doing an aftershow, his day/night rhythm won't be like mine. So don't make him look like Michael with the painkiller nonsense since he'd have to use them at home as well. Travelling in beyond average vehicles is not so bad compared to work that many of us have to do to get by. Please provide some better context... |

Relax, Montreux is known for good sound. At least, i didn't hear many bad concerts soundwise in the Stravinski. |

I don't think that's strictly true, that was not my experience at any rate and loads of people took photos with their mobile phones at the 21 Nights concerts.

got the same feeling, think it's gonna be the best show he's done this year, with all that's happend over the last few weeks, me thinks P will show the world that his light is still shining bright.... The reports from this show are gonna be out of this world...good luck to those going have a great time.....we await your details.. Da, Da, Da....Emancipation....Free..don't think I ain't..!
