prince's performance is not that bad. he plays a guitar that's not his, without his pedals, and makes a decent sound out of it. He dances a little, he shrieks a little but more importantly to me, he takes control of the band. notice he holds the V sing up telling the band two notes, and how the drummer started following Prince's direction?

too bad the clip was cgi'd and photoshopped at the same time.

I agree his performance was good, a bit all over the place but good

When he tried to 'get the audience' making the clap to his rhythm it was a bit off, you can tell he was ready to get off the stage

But I loved his entrance on the back of Chick, the guitar performance, I wish he would have stayed on the guitar

Are you joking or serious? It's hard to tell anymore. I'm quite sure the OP was joking - it's been a repeated joke in multiple threads.

Anyway, I clicked on it but couldn't watch all the way through - it goes on for a painfully long time. And I'd read that one of his people in the car w/ him after that show said he was very silent and very upset w/ himself.

Wow, I'd heard weird shit rumours, but this has to be friggin fake or someats

ALAN LEEDS: Prince went to a James Brown gig [in 1983] with Bobby Z, his drummer at the time, Big Chick, who was his security guard, and I think Jill Jones, who was one of his protégés. By now, everybody knows what happened at that gig. I don’t think Prince realized that Michael was going to be there. James looked a little puzzled in that video when Michael whispered in his ear, “Hey, bring Prince up.” And of course Prince didn’t really know what to do either. He went to the guitar first but he fumbles with that because it was left-handed. He played a few licks, did some dancing and knocked over a prop by accident. Now I always wondered if Michael intentionally brought Prince up to put him in that position just to say, “Hey, you think you’re on my ass? Well follow this, motherfucker [laughs].” Bobby Z called me and said, “Oh boy…he made an ass of himself tonight.” He said Prince didn’t say a word the whole way to the hotel.

I not surprised at how many people don't know about this,

As grainy as it is I'm glad someone caught this on video

A lot of new fans, just don't know either, and people want to talk about it

Then accept it's not to your tastes and move on. I just don't find '2 and a half men' funny, so when I'm channel surfing, I just surf on past. I don't stay on the channel moaning that it's not for me.

wink

blah blah blah

No, I'd move to another table and ignore those that are annoying me, as they have every right to be in the bar too. If i'm the one with the issue with them (and not the other way around), then I'd be the one to move.

Anyway, let's move on, this is boring.
