didnt alan leeds once say

if he ever just did a show with him alone at a piano and mic, the world would see him in a totally different light and understand how gifted he really is

Well, the Musicology tour acoustic set was damn good too! wink

I think this current piano tour is a great move. Most of us hardcore fans appreciate the acoustic elements of past tours - piano/ guitar. To build a whole set around this has got to be a master stroke and could draw in a whole new audience. I respect that P is stepping outside his comfort zone and taking a chance. Glad the reviews are so good.


cool

I'm pretty sure he said guitar not piano, but the idea's the same.

From 2000:

.

D’ANGELO: Take Prince as an example. The shit that he’s doing now isn’t purely Prince.

.
BECK: I wouldn’t tell Prince what to do, but I would love to hear him make a record, just him and a piano that’s out of tune. He has so much soul and it’s caught up in the machines of production. His records always had a slickness that I liked, that I thought was cool.

.
D’ANGELO: He need to bring out the old drums, and a piano, and that old guitar he used to play, not that big symbol joint.

.
BECK: I say just give him a two-string guitar and see what happens. He’s such a genius that he needs a little limitation.

.
D’ANGELO: That’s dope. Motherfuckers don’t think like that.

.
BECK: People would go nuts if he did that. They want the pure, unadulterated Prince. If you’re in the game long enough, you begin to think you need to have all the accoutrements of fame and what sounds good.

.
D’ANGELO: He thinks he needs to go farther, to top what he’s already done.

.
BECK: He needs to go under what he’s done.

.
D’ANGELO: He needs to go back to the ABCs.

.

Which of course gravely insulted Prince, and he responded with a message on his official website about respecting your elders.

A nice box set with all the february shows, perhaps even teh Park piano shows, would be welcome.

(especially if the music is complete, uncut, untouched)

Pills and thrills and daffodils will kill... If you don't believe me or don't get it, I don't have time to try to convince you, sorry.

I think he had too many lyric lapses of memory for there to be any hope that the Opera house shows will get any release. Maybe if he does the first half of the second show and the second half of the first show - that would be pretty great actually biggrin
