The love of our lives.

I just saw a clip from literally the best guitar solo he's ever done to Purple Rain. So many emotions just came over me...I feel lost all of a sudden. I always think I get to a good place and then something like this happens and it's a flood gate of tears. Again. I may need to step away for the night

Howdy all, is it possible that somebody can rip this video of our man playing Purple Rain in his last show? I right click, but it's not an option and it is really good.

Can you just put the addy into clipconverter? That thing has become my new bestie.

I would...but after yesterday...even just reading that it's from the last show - which is what I inadvertently listened to yesterday...I don't think I could take it.

Curious though, is there a full performance of one of the Microphone & a Piano shows (before those last ones)? Would be neat to watch.

thaanks for the hit.....looks like it worked. i am on the hunt for the full show in Atlanta, as there is one full version available. I am still wonky with this whole thing, numb really. thanks i'll post what i can later

Oh hun...so sorry. It will get better. Day by day.... some will be better than others. It's a process. It just takes time.

Okay, what was WITH that shaved part of the head?

No problem. I like clipconverter the best - nice and simple - I like simple

Hmm, if you are on YT, check under Alexander Von Chavoni - seems to have TONS of P stuff.

Hope tomorrow is a better day. Like Momma said, some days will be better and others not so much. Hang in there. We'll get through it.

I know this is from the previous thread but I'm glad it's Prince with the TKO

Well I've gone through 1/3 of the previous thread so far and this one to date - haven't seen this one yet - going to try to browse through the remaining next couple days - want to save any that I meant to, and kind of remind myself what's already been posted. The comments alone are pretty funny to sift through

If I don't make it back in here, hope everyone has a great night. Sweet dreams.

Don't worry love, I think we all have had one really strong weird occurence since this happened. Maybe he is trying to let us all know in the best way he can that he sees us and knows what we're going through. I have seen recently in the past month 2 x out of the corner of my eye what looks like him. The first time he was in black going up my driveway, I ran to look out the window to see if someone was there, nothing. Then Friday, I was walking into the kitchen and out my kitchen dorr on the deck there was someone in a light tan outfit with that pixie haircut with the curl on the cheek. I backed up and of course nothing. But I said "Hi Prince" how are you anyway. Just wanted him to know I saw him. If this is all real what we are experiencing, isn't it wonderful. It means it's all true, the afterworld does exist.

Wish this had spell check so I don't have to edit so much

Thank U hun. That just really freaked me out, becuz that song is literally no where on that device that was playing and nothing else was hooked up so it couldn't have accidentally happened, it's very, very odd. It's not like I imagined it, made it up, was looking or wanting 4 something 2 happen. This isn't the 1st thing that's happened either, other really strong occurances have happened and I've had 2 just sit back and really think "Did I just see/hear what I think I did" I haven't shared anything else becuz I like 2 keep those memories 4 myself. Just 4 perspective tho it isn't small stuff, it's very mind blowing things. 4 example -when I wasn't feeling well last week I had to have some special blood test done, when I went 2 get the results it's at the same place his blood is being held 4 the heir disputes, I won't go further in 2 it becuz I want 2 protect his privacy, but some weirdness ensued. Honestly I have a lot of guilt and regret 2 work thru becuz I was asked and had an open opportunity to work with him several times but becuz of family obligations I had 2 say no. Now I have 2 live with that haunting me. And I hope no 1 thinks I'm trying to be cryptic, or baiting any1 to be asked to divulge more info becuz there isn't much else 2 tell except that which I've said. I guess I just kinda had 2 get it out somewhere becuz I haven't really told any1 that stuff. That song in particular was hard, becuz it's like he's speaking from beyond saying what he misses in life, atleast that's 1 thing that kept going thru my mind.

Thank U, Mimi, Leslie, ( U 2!) Cherry, and Momma. Big, big 2 U all!!! That's the 1 incredibly wonderful thing about here is no matter how hard things get, crazy something may sound, low we feel, we can all come here and know the Purple Fam with understand when every1 else thinks we're 1 flew over the coo coo's nest gone. Anyway, sorry ya'll -didn't mean 2 freak out, be overly dramatic, or weird. I really didn't mean 2 bring any1 down with me either, it seems like yesterday was a hard 1 for a lot of us. 4 all.

I have a baby picture with me wearing a raspberry colored beret. When I see it, I always laugh and think I was destined to be a fan

Ha ha, would love to see that photo! Sounds like you were brought up in true Princey style! I've worn a beret as a child too, but only because it was a part of our regional costume and it wasn't really raspberry, just plain red. A little anecdote on the beret theme, I once wore a black French beret to go to a Prince aftershow and Prince pointed at it with a huge grin on his face, trouble is to date, I'm still not sure whether he was laughing at it or liking it...

IDK why but it won't show the photo!! I love that Cherry, thank U!!! Ur fate was sealed Leslie.

I can so imagine U walking away like "OMG Prince noticed me!!! Yay!!...Hey wait a tick....WAS HE LAUGHING AT ME?!?! "

Yep I started getting teary eyed listening to Temptation, like WTH is that all about? I swear there's something wrong with meeee.

Ooo, I like this idea. Wouldn't be today tho maybe 1 day we could all agree on.

[Edited 7/3/16 5:15am]

Yes! After I posted it I realized it was July 4th so all bets were off, but I SO think it would be fun to have a virtual viewing of SOTT or UTCM or whatevs. What about Sunday afternoon/evening?

I'd be down 4 that!

leslievette said:

The timeline with these women always confused me. Was he with Carmen, then met Mayte? Or both? Where does Nona fit in? Lol sorry, I never really knew the story.

Don't be sorry it's cool. In answer 2 Ur question...all 3... same time. I'm from Cincy and I knew Carmen before she was Carmen (Tara) not well, but I've heard stuff, even from her own mouth.

Some1 wooks a wittle wrunky... These kinda photos crack me up, becuz as a photographer I know U can snap a pic of some1 completely stone cold sober but the camera can capture a split second facial expression that provides this. It's fun to imagine what kind of drunk he'd make tho. I think he'd be hilarious.

With statments like this and just the sheer beauty of some of his song lyrics, I wish he'd be appreciated more as a poet, becuz he really was IS.

I thought it was time to break these out again. Lord have mercy he kills me watching where that hand goes and what he does with it. Kind of funny considering how shy/nervous he was in the kissing scenes. (Which is why they look like not so great kisses.) Even in the 1st GIF he isn't really going 4 it, but I'll be damned if he didn't make up 4 it.

Stop It!! I'm single!!

So am I, U can't tell by some of my comments?! Whoever my next man is, all I got 2 say is, he's gonna be walking around with a perma-grin on his face, ppl gonna think somethings wrong with him. All apart of the plan tho, it keeps other women away, thinking he's crazy.

Be back later. Until then, I'm gonna leave this:

Yeah that's right...I went there.

Just to say hi, miss you guys xxxxxx and the pics are helping me still And i hope monkeyrose comes back soon xxxx. We still need each other .All of us.
