Why does everyone have a fucking problem that I don't like that he repeated the same songs in one night????

It didn't bother you? Fine.

Please leave me alone.

If it didn't bother you. Fine.

I am not interested.

I couldn't careless why Prince did it. I just didn't like it.

Please leave me alone.

Erm, no I'm not saying that. Read the post properly.

U r 100% correct we will never see the true show by Prince it will b cut/chop/dice 2 HIS liking.Thats why I LOVE BOOTS

Not everyone had a great time.
The whole situation sucked quite a bit.
The first show was good, especially the main part.

Prince failed to communicate he was recording a DVD, with us as his too much paying audience, so during the 2nd show fans were pissed with the songs played twice.
Prince was unhappy with these songs from show #1. (perfection...)
He changed the setlist of the 2nd show on the spot but failed to make up to the fans in the first row.

Prince needs a manager: Prince needs to widen his perspective. Prince needs to communicate. Prince needs to be less selfish. (why record a DVD and be #1 at the bank?

...so there will be a DVD??...can't WAIT!!..

You ever think about not going to the show. I'm making a guess that you don't live in Switzerland.

Did you go to the show?

No. I actually make conscious decisions about what I can/cannot afford to do. It keeps me from spending money on things I love then bitching about it to everyone on the web about how overpriced the show, the flight, the hotel, the food, the Midol was. My point is if you knew how much it cost and you still went then why would you complain about the price after the fact.

No, he didn't say that.
We think there might be a DVD.

HonestMan13 said:

I think people are just saying what they felt about their experience - that's all.

pepper7 said:

I think people are expecting too much for the price of a ticket.

Weird that I've been listening to The Chocolate Invasion and The Slaughterhouse non-stop lately and wondered if Prince had forgotten about the fantastic When I Lay My Hands on U. I can't wait to hear and/see this performance.

Please Prince, don't shelve this DVD (Psst... release it on Blu-ray, though).

People paid a lot of money for thre tickets.Why do you think they are expecting too much?

I would RUN to the first store that sold a DVD of that show. The pictures posted are gorgeous and by most accounts his vocals were tops. I would play that sucker over and over again!!

Ok, so I saw both shows, just few feet from stage, fantastic songs & his voice was truly faultless..i’m telling u guys he looked SO happy & healthy, & OMG really sexy..
very light makeup apart from lashings of lip gloss, cheeky dimple & beautiful engorged neck veins..i just love that
the atmostphere was crazy amazing, hope a dvd will be released, such breathtaking stuff

so anyway, a few bits I notice people haven’t mentioned yet,
but first & 4most,

I see there’s been discussion about failure to recognise MJ,
BUT HE DID!!
Can’t believe nobody picked up on this..!
During purple rain he said
‘michael, did u know how much I loved u?...& his eyes watering up. it was a special moment & I’m certain this performance of purple rain was his dedication 2 mj.

he did a really funky combination of ‘all the critics love u in montreux/housequake/sexuality’..yes!.. s.e.x.u.a.l.i.t.y ..unless I was dreaming it. the crowd went mental!

his suit was lined in yellow with black polka dot, up his sleeves at least

He had us singing along to little red corvette, u gotta slow down ‘slow down’.. trust me, he is showing absolutely NO signs of slowing down! he was dancing, & jumping about in his cute wedge shoes. no limping action, i was making careful observations

at one point, sorry I can’t remember the song, he invited us to join him in ‘a palace looking over a beautiful lake’. Of course he was staying at the palace hotel just a few metres across the road from the venue.
Incidently montreux is a peculiar little place. Not so much a town but like a twee village on the edge of a lake..not very rock & roll!

there were a couple of hand-licking episodes during 'empty room'..slow & deliberate licks across the back of his hand..full tongue! OMG! this was a loin stirring moment 4 me at least! Other women in the audience would have been moved by this also..

during scandalous he sang ‘dirty little cage’ in the perviest way I couldn’t imagine in my wildest dreams

he sang bria’s songs better than her but no big surprise there, but he didn’t look in the least bit guilty that he wasn’t giving her any credit

morris hayes was looking cool & totally pimped out in a white suit complete with giant hat, he looked magnificent

John blackwell’s solos were jaw dropping., wow, he was like disneys firework grand finale but million times more impressive, Rhonda was as funky as hell & renato guy had short bursts of jazzy tinkling

prince changed his clothes 2wards the end in2 a turtleneck number..same as he’s worn recently but with a different design.
By this time my contact lenses were playing havoc..they had worked so hard & were giving up on me
I couldn’t see the design, but all I could make out was what looked like a giant afro...i actually thought it was MJ, my husband thought it was MJ as child performer, but then it looked like it could have been prince from purple rain movie, in the final shot where he looks over his shoulder..i guess this make more sense, a celebration of 25yrs since purple rain. I’d love to know what it was, i’m hoping there’s some decent pics

Finally, after the show people were waiting 4 him to come outside, there was a posh maybach waiting but after about 15mins I decided my feet could take no more even 4 prince. I’d endured 12hrs in huge heels & enough was enough.
I walked back 2 my car high on happiness but in agony & hit the road at nearly 03.00hrs.
The lake edge road was eerily quiet..all but for a police escort heading my way, & then I saw the maybach, & without any decorum flashed it several times while blowing kisses out the window. WTF! It was strangely exciting in such a romantic place!
Dunno where he was heading but he’d gone past the hotel...

This is an excellent review and exactly how I remembered it!

I heard Sexuality in there too! And the line about staying at the Palace but I can't remember what song. Anyway it rocked!

I see there’s been discussion about failure to recognise MJ,

Fuck you. Your just as off your wheel as this guy.
Nothing either of you are saying makes any damm sense and you don't have enough commonsense to stop worrying about an artist that frustrates you enough that you have to come this board a ramble on about how pissed you are.

Thank U 4 your review!

Also, thanks 4 mentioning Prince's mention of MJ.

I've been keeping my mouth shut about what I've seen here on the ORG about him not doing anything, and from what I've heard, Prince was devastated by Michael's death, and split the scene, going back 2 Paisley Park.
