Prince mailing it in?

Of course he's not Britney who
Is lip synching her way through
Las Vegas...
I just saw prince in the last concert at Mohegan sun ct (see review in concerts section). Cheapest seats were $125 but empty seats on the $195 section allowed us to slide
Over.
Between Shelby, Doug e fresh, this other female backup
Singer,
And the horns, there wasn't as much prince as I've seen in the past..

Maybe I'm getting old, and my expectations are too high
One thing I'll say is Hannah ford is a very tight drummer

There were highlights I'm sorry I didn't point them out. I'm comparing this to the musicology tour. And yes something in the water was good. And prince had a good laugh when he said that he was
Once called the most beautiful
Girl in the world. The sound last night was just so so, and prince deferred to the other musicians and Doug e fresh a bit too much for my liking

With a 22 piece backing band comprised of New Power Generation and 3RD EYE GIRL, an oud player and Doug E. Fresh, Prince might as well bring Pepe Willie, Tony M and bring back Chaka and Larry.

Exactly. clapping The entire arena was on their feet. It was a dance party for about 40 minutes. Loved it. The energy in the place was amazing. Doug E turned the place into a nightclub scene. I wasn't paying attention to any boring person around me though, because all around was up on their feet having a great time. lol

Wel, if we're going to almost over-do stuff then YES stuff gets interestijng again.

When/where will those gigs be?

Exactly my point of view..

Prince is so predictable these past 15 years or so. If not longer. And I mean as a live act... sad

He's touring!? omfg

No, those few gig here and there have no plan, no vision, no nothing behind them other than an immediate need for cashflow and/or maybe 'testing the new band'. No tour as it was in the old days: whenever there was a good reason to go on the road. (e.g. new album, movie, etc)
