1992 Earl's Court London. His head-mike would not work properly during Gett Off (pehaps that song is jinxed? wink ) and he was clearly annoyed by this. The rest of the show was flawless I have to add. smile
Just somewhere in the middle,
Not too good and not too bad.

During the Berlin concert (The Work Pt.1) last year, Renato Neto played the long turn-around, when he actually shouldn't. I think Prince said something like "Gotta turn my microphone up, in Renato's head!", but in a friendly tone.

Emporium, London aftershow '95, as he started the second verse of pussy control, the mic fell from the stand. He compensated with a cool guitar solo.

Is that really what happened? I listen to that show and especially that jam a lot (one of my favorites), and I always figured he pushed the mic over cause he was done with doing the formal song and just wanted to jam. Cool... headbang

I remember one time, the whole band were encased in acrylic "pods" at the opening of their comeback tour. All of the pods opened as each musician started playing... except Prince's! His pod stayed stuck shut through the whole song, while roadies were prying on the slit, trying to open it. Then a "little person" came running out with a 17" tall replica of Stonehenge.

It was awesome.
If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot.

London Wembley Stadium July 1993: he played part of the "She's always in my hair" solo with one broken string on his guitar (we could clearly see it dangle).


You must've been close to the stage to see that one! I missed that.

Yes, I was standing in the 3rd/4th row. wink

In 1986 (The VeniVidiVici dress-rehearsal), one of the new beandmembers started playing the bridge to soon, resulting in Prince giving him the comment:"Just in the band, and already want to do a solo, huh!"

Prince falling flat on his fanny during the Nude tour, when it was raining like hell on the opening dates.

Bumping his nose into the microphone stand in one of the numerous experience shows I saw.

Most often I just love it when band members miss a cue, like last October when he called out; "One the one!" and Maceo missed the cue.
Prince's head, snapped around and that look! Oh my. He can be a viscious little person sometimes.



You're so right about THAT look!
I bet everybody is shit scared when they get that look.


What would b the worst thing Prince could do to them for laughing??

Good one. I would not have gotten that if I hadn't seen Spinal Tap yesterday for the first time.

confuse

I've got that bootleg and it never crossed my mind that the band missed the cue. I just thought it was rehearsed that way so that they came in on the second SHOO-AH! shrug

1990 Nude Tour

Prince was just starting the show with The Future and everything is going great when three black guys from the audience appeared on stage and danced around like retards and then one started to babble into the mic like a demented hyena.

Prince couldn't get rid of them for years.

What about his Soul Train appearance (the one where he did "Acknowledge Me" and "Love Sign" and a few others) and Mayte takes his glass cane and swings it like a bat and it breaks. . .Prince looked over to the side and Mayte had a kind of "oh, shit" look on her face.

1985 Syracuse New York:


Prince is getting down on "Lets Pretend We're Married" ala Little Richard style...

P kicks the swirl seat from under her tush back toward Wendy...


Guess the stage hand runs out there to push it back...

P looks back (ya'll know that crazed "What the f**k did U just do" look) at the sound man...and kicks it right back...

Parade Tour Paris, 08/25/86

I haven't watched this video in a long time, but at one point a fan runs on stage and grabs Prince. Of course security runs over and escorts him backstage. I think Prince goes back there and checks if he's O.K. .What a nice guy!!

Rave 2000 DVD during Purple House. He starts to sing, then realized he has the sleeve of his coat caught on the guitar. Stops singing, unhooks his sleeve and starts again.
I've gone to find myself. If I should return before I get back, keep me here.

U guys missed a CLASSIC...

2nd Arsenio appearance, after the performance of
"My Name Is Prince", when P "pissed" on the critics
reviews of his new CD with lighter fluid. Then tries
to set them aflame...damn matches kept going out
before they hit the papers! lol
It took him 3 or 4 tries till he finally lit them up.
Thanks for the laughs, arguments and overall enjoyment for the last umpteen years. It's time for me to retire from Prince.org and engage in the real world...lol. Above all, I appreciated the talent Prince. You were one of a kind.
