Prince live....BETTER than EVER 2009 I’ve been listening 2 the Prince 2009 live performances from L.A., Montreux, and Monaco quite a bit the last few weeks. It’s seems as if Prince’s playing, vocals, arrangements and overall musicianship is as GOOD or BETTER than it ever has been. He even channeled Sugarfoot (Ohio players) last week on Joy in Repetition.

Is it even possible that Prince is getting better at the age of 51? Can a musician be a steroids? If steroids = musical maturity, then yes I'll agree.  | |

I think he needs to play the guitar less. It has become endless solo's. Often several in a song. I love his solo's as much as the next man but its becoming cliche - the big 'bomb drop' plunges and liquid flurry of notes at the end of each track. Hop on the piano, hit the organ or strap on the bass. More guitar doesn't necessarily mean better. | |

I'd love 2 see more piano and drum playing also. Yeah, just some of that old spontaneity. GC, have you ever witnessed or know of a performance where Prince has done his guitar/piano line at the same time? I know he has done it on record (The Work pt1) and ive seen him do it on that old documentary from the early 90's during rehearsal footage. I've also heard Eric leeds discussing how in rehearsl he had witnessed prince play guitar with one hand and a piano line with the other whilst singing a harmony line  Do you know of any other performances? | |

Yeah, I agree Prince gets better and better live. One Night Alone is a good example of his continued progression. On that tour, his voice and playing seemed as if he was recording a live album every night.

Not that I don’t love him as a guitarist, but I think you have a point. More recently, well ever since ONA, I think it has become a crutch (not a bad one to have one!) to counter that he can’t perform as dynamically in a physical capacity (e.g. dancing) like he once could. It’s now his ‘star’ moment type thing! | |

Did someone say he should STOP his solo's? Are you high? They've been killer. He needs to KEEP doing them! His recent performances have reminded me of the One Night Alone shows when it was all about the music and not about the production. People need to hear how brilliant a musician he really is. We're gonna need a bigger boat | |

Both songs on the www.Lotusflow3r.com website are incredible. I love the way he changes LRC and the "slow down" part is genius. When I Lay My Hands on you is simply perfect. Love is so amazing
Yes you will be staying Why must it be you always creep into my dreams | |

he's only been a guitar god for 4 years mainstream, and it was very timely cus there aint no more splits left in him. i would like to see more piano stuff but he never moved me as a live bassist. | |

It’s now his ‘star’ moment type thing! Musicology Tour, o2. I saw sooo much dancing. I don't want him to keep dancing all the way through but, i would like him to begin moving when he does a more uptempo track like that DMSR performance and then maybe jam on the piano midway. Its better then just straddling a guitar for the whole show. | |

How can some of these people even comment? they weren't even around when Prince first started performing, some have never even seen him 'Live'. What do they have to compare some stupid video clips?? Please. | |
