Yes! I remember him saying something like that... don't remember at which song, but somewhere at the end! I'm sure I would have noticed if he'd said something relating to Michael!

I heard him say 'Montreux, you know I love you?'. He said 'I love you' another time to the audience and followed it with 'I hope you know that?'

We all thought we heard the first few notes of the intro to 'Bad' snuck into one of the instrumental sections though. It was really short and easy to miss but we all looked at each other and said the same thing, then it went into one of his own songs...

Could well just be a coincidence though!

Princes polo neck top he changed into at the end of the second show had a picture of him from the Purple Rain tour wearing the white lace outfit with a shawl playing guitar by the way lottielooloo1968

I heard prince had intended to use a different line up of musicians for the second show and due to personal unforseen circumstances at the last minute (with one of them, not Prince)that wasn't possible so Rhonda, renato and John did both. they hadn't rehearsed the second set with prince so he had to go with the same set but tried to mix it up abit.

From what i've seen of things Prince is really aware his fans go to more than one show. He's spoken about it before and has said his audience are very discerning (look at 21 nights, he talked about that very thing and each show was different?)

I was at both the first and second shows and he repeated a some songs but the energy was really different for each show. The second set was harder and more driven! he was in a great mood all night and mixed the whole thing up half way through the second show anyway.

Loved it!!

the sets were different

Excellent review of the show.
Why is everyone so hot for Prince to say/do something in regards to Michael Jackson? They were never linked in life and why would death change that. He had more in common with Billy Mays being on Leno the same night only months ago. Maybe he should've gave everyone in attendance some OxyClean.

Purple Rain - around 5:20 just before the solo:

"Thank you so much. I love you Montreux"

langebleu said:

ooops.. thanks langebleu, mystery solved. i did hear a better version of the performance & agree this must be the point where i thought i heard the mj reference..& must take oppotunity 2 apologise 2 anyone who might be upset, i will edit my original post
omg! my worst fear, i WAS having a senior moment..i'm not even an mj fan, wasn't like i was willing it or anything
most likely entranced by all that beauty & still giddy from the hand licking incident..now i didn't imagine THAT

"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."
"How heartfelt Prince must feel with the passing of MJ..."

I know, it has been cleared up already. But Prince says "Thank you so much, I love you Montreux", repeating the latter 1 or 2 times. Definitely NO mentioning of MJ here, sorry. And whether you like it or not, eat this: I seriously doubt that Prince felt "heartfelt" over MJ passing more than any other person. I rather believe he probably more or less laughed at MJ for decades, and there's just NO connection between the two at all, neither in terms of music nor in terms of personality, all connection there is is what the media made up of it. So not even a reason to mention MJ at all. But who knows...

Why would he laugh at Michael?? It's usually only the public or media, who think they could laugh at him! Michael's peers usually show nothing but respect and I doubt that Prince would be different! And the few times he mentioned Michael he didn't say anything that would suggest him disrespecting Michael!

PatrickS77 said:

A lil proof here!

PatrickS77 said:

How about the "Why did he call his album Bad? 'Cos he couldn't spell pathetic!" comment?

Can we just stop before this turns into another Michael Jackson thread?

Prince isn't acknowledging Mike's death.
They weren't friends.

Let go, people.
Move on.
Apparently Prince has.

JayJai said:

Yeah ! There was much respect between these two legend...

Orgers should just respect that...

Respect.

FunkyDissCo said:

Actually, I was told that Prince was impacted greatly from MJ's death, and a lot of folks from that generation were as well. Prince allegedly canceled a few engagements (not concerts), and locked himself up... I'm assuming 2 record music at Paisley.

And you are always a reliable source.

BriaVelveeta said:

Well I'm not really the source, but my source is highly reliable. I just can't understand why folks seem 2 need him 2 make a statement about it. Prince doesn't operate that way, but he IS feeling it.
