Buffalo Concert

I was at the Buffalo concert. The first 48 NPG Music Club members got to sit in the pit and they were given blue bracelets to wear so we could get back in. So I got to be in the front row! When I first walked in he was just standing there playing his guitar looking fine as usual and as I was putting my jacket on the seat he said, "You, where is your tickets stub at?" I said, "Right here!" and held it up for him to see. He waived me over to the stage and took the ticket from me looking at it and smirking and looking back at me. I said, "Am I cool?" and he laughed and said, "Yeah your cool." and just kept laughing. He was totally pulling my chain! Then he answered some questions and he said he would be performing in Toronto during this tour. He also stated that new albums would be coming out, but not in stores. That they would only be available for members and that it was a surprise as to when they would be released. He said it was going to be a while before any new albums would be released in stores. Then he pulled a group of people up on stage to sing backup for him. He turned around and said, "You know your doing this for free right?" And everyone started laughing. So when the chorus came they just stood there and didn't say a word. Then he stopped playing and said, "The chorus...yeah that would be you guys." Then someone in the audience said, "Thats what you get for free!" And Prince busted out laughing. Then he pulled more people up on stage which included me. And we all sang the song with him. Then we all went back outside to wait for the concert. Prince walked buy like 3 times and once with Manuella. 2 people behind us took pictures whichc was soon followed by security guards yelling, "Give us the film!" Thats why I didn't bring a camera LOL. We went in to the concert and it was amazing. Absolutely truly amazing. almost 3 hours long! He asked me during the concert if it was better to be a follower or a leader. I said a leader. Then he said does anyone think it's better to be a follower and some people started cheering. He pointed at a guy and said, "Do you wanna follow me for a little while?" and the guy followed him up on stage and Prince asked him if he could get him anything like water, coffee or tea? and the guy said he was fine. He also pulled 2 girls up on stage..Juanita! U go girl! and another girl i never got her name but we hung out at the after party. He also pulled the ushers up on stage after telling them to drop their popcorn. It was so exciting. he even came out in the audience and stood on a chair telling everyone to raise their hands. The after party was awesome. I danced to Prince songs and met a bunch of amazing people. Then Prince came out and performed. Styling his new short hair cut and white hat and glasses. Let me just tell you. My dreams came true that night! I got to talk to Prince! Thats all I have ever wanted since I was four years old...to meet the most talented musician I have ever heard! He has definitly outdone himself on this tour!

Oh hell yes, this is a damn fine report - full of beautiful positivity. Thankyou two hundred and forty five times! I hope this is what it is like for me when I finally attend my first Princely concert. It's like I've been waiting for it my whole life. It's going to be a Lovesexy experience, baby.

And I love the tidbits Prince is constantly dropping at the soundchecks about upcoming venues and albums. Some interesting little nuggets in this report too!
