I haven't posted here in months and looking at this thread only reminds me of why I haven't been on this site. We should be happy Prince is going to tour ANYWHERE in the U.S. and yet here we go with more morons dogging every friggin thing here. This is what's up, you want to see Prince here in NYC, come and see him. If you don't, great don't see him. In fact, I hope all of you who are bitching don't even try to get a ticket because I need all the tickets I can get my hands on so I can go to every show he's doing around here! God knows I don't want to sit/stand next to someone who thinks he hasn't done anything good in 15 years. I'm glad he's coming back to the city that he belongs in, NYC. It's gonna be hot as hell out here and I can't wait to burn up in the funk!

Hey Cam! Good to see you here! I agree with your articulation. I am rarely here anymore due to all the negativity. But I am really glad Prince is doing some gigs in the US, and I live far away from NY, but will still attempt to make it to one. Hopefully he will venture out into the states a little further (Obviously we still do not know anything definite) but I hope to go jam!

Hey, it's good seeing you again npggirl77! I hope you make it up here to see The Man! In fact, i hope all the people who still give a damn about Prince and don't just care about his past work but about his current work as well make it up to NY/NJ to see Prince. It's gonna be pure FIRE up in the Big Apple!

Can you imagine? That's right in the heart of the Xmas season. Traffic in NYC just trying to get over to Jersey on a regular day is hectic enough. I can see the gridlock now. Most people get off work at either 4:30pm or 5pm, and the concert will probably start at 8pm. Taking the train into Jersey would be their best bet.

I prefer the MSG shows. It's so much easier to get to from where I am. Plus who wouldn't want to be at the last shows. I actually thought he would have had the shows in NYC (Manhattan) first, but the garden seems to be tied up with quite a few events that month.

I wish things were a little more clear about who's gonna be performing with him on which dates. I don't wanna miss out, but then again I wanna know WHO's gonna be where before I shell out my money.

Whatever you're responsible for yourself, all the blame doesn't go on the other person. yes man people are to blame but if you can't handle fame then it shouldn't happen for you.

our conversation got me to thinking. imo, its not fame thats the problem, its the lack of psychological care an artist SHOULD receive when entering the public eye on mass scale.

record companies should provide it, management should provide it, someone, anyone should provide the appropriate psychological care to an artist who 1. does not know what they are getting themselves into 2. experiences a sudden jolt of fame en masse 3. has a propensity to let things go to their head

there's so many other reasons, i think EVERY artist should receive this care no matter what.

seriously, what a negligent industry, thrusting people full force into the global spotlight with not one single ounce of consideration to what it will do to them mentally.

sure, the artist is responsible as well, but look at everything else they are responsible for. they cant do everything and manage their mental health at the same time. that stuff has has to be organized and scheduled in, at the very least once a week.

look at this shot of prince at the purple rain premier:

did anyone have a word with him on how to cope with what he was going through? and not just some peer or loose-lipped associate, but someone professional?

the lure of fame is so lovely isnt it? wow you get all that money and all that attention and everyone loves you, but the trade-off is you become a total headcase because suddenly you cant tell the difference between reality and fantasy anymore.

michael had this happen to him when he was near 9 years old! what care did he receive? bunch of yes-people feeding into it? you can see how direct a role these yes-people play in the mental health of an artist, especially when that artist is not receiving the proper psychological care.

and 30 years later these guys are totally institutionalized and its THEIR fault if something bad happens to them? i dont think so.

my apologies if my views are coming across a little strong, and ive no intent to jack this thread, just wanted to share my thoughts on this, considering the angle of our conversation.

That link had dates up before, now no dates. Hmmmm....

NYC radio said that tickets go on sale October 30th at 10AM for NJ and NYC shows, not tomorrow

this is crazy how this is back and forth. its spreading like wildfire on facebook and i see links saying presales tomorrow,the 25th, the 29th and now these posts about the 30th being said on radio stations? i don't know what to believe anymore. but my one facebook friends talked directly to shelby and she didn't even know they announced these tristate area dates! looks like i need to set the alarm and call livenation at 9am when they open. livenation definitely jumped the gun here

VEGAS!!!!!!!!!

Yes it seems they did jump the gun early. On top of that, they had ticket sales for the NJ shows and the 12/18 MSG NY show, showing for the same date and time. Oh well, this is what happens when there's no official site to give "official" info on this.
