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 | |

Prince is using a smaller crew these days to allow space for the audience to properly hear his favorite players right now.
NICE! 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.
EVEN NICER  | |

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? | |

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. I love Renato, he's one of the most gifted pianist i ever listened to. I appreciate Prince diggin him so much! In God we trust. | |

He must have some photos of Prince giving MJ a reacharound to stay in the band this long. | |

udo said: I do get it.
He has lost it. "It" in that maybe he can't do the physical stuff he use to do. I agree. "It" in that he's lost his marbles. That's debatable. He's never been "all there" to begin with, which is why I like him. "It" in that he's lost all charisma, talent and stage presence. I disagree. Marbles edit. [Edited 7/1/09 8:43am] | |

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. | |

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. | |

There is the Opus auction in September when he'll be drawing a name from a hat - I'm sure there'll be a gig to go with it... We ain't from Hollywood, so you know it's all good | |

He has lost it. "It" in that maybe he can't do the physical stuff he use to do. I agree. You mean, like dancing? "It" in that he's lost his marbles. That's debatable. He's never been "all there" to begin with, which is why I like him. Perhaps, but he still can act 'normal' in certain instances or areas of behaviour, at times? Like a tiny bit of thoughtfullness for his fans when he tries to plan his shows? "It" in that he's lost all charisma, talent and stage presence. I disagree. Maybe consider off-stage charisma? Like this planning for Montreux? The Lotusflow3r updates? The T-shirts? And that is just some 2009 stuff. | |

Nothing like: 'We're terribly sorry but we messed up again, we hope to inform you very soon now!' ? Sorry, but if you don't like gigs at short notice I feel really sorry for you that you're a Prince fan...
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. | |

They're good for nothing but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs. | |
