Another night, another great show...

But, this MoFo played 17 Days and Something In The Water
acoustically last night!....
Plus, he added Call My Name to the set since he last played here, right
before Purple Rain.

Anyone notice our local Channel 4 Anchorwoman Carmen Harlan up on stage???

Yeah, right.

This was the best Prince show I've seen in a long time!!! He did a wonderful job. But the thing I most enjoy about Prince shows are the people. We really know how to have a good time, don't we? Did you guys see the first woman he brought on stage?? She fell and busted her ass in front of 20+ thousand! How embarrassing, but she got up there and continued to dance. Prince said, "Well, if you're gonna make an entrance, make an entrance!" He is too damn cute

I also thought the first part of the show was great...his outfit and everything..No heels, they looked like gym shows! And he danced his butt off in them.

This was a great show...one not to be missed...hope you all enjoyed. He always plays his ass off for Detroit


Smooches;)

I can't remember which shows but he has already played both of those songs very recently. Call My Name was in the set ealier in the tour as well.

LoveMachine knows his shit!!! Call My Name is actually a full-band, full-length song. The other 2 were part of the acoustic set, so they were definitely medlified to some degree or another.

Carmen Harlan was on stage? Are you sure? What did she have on?

The concert last night was off the hook. The Purple One let Detroit know that His Name Is Prince and He is Funky. The set list was great. I almost passed out when he started singing Call My Name. Damn, that song sounds even better live. Another almost fainting moment was when he performed 17 Days and Something in the Water. Prince and the Band was awesome as well, I kept seeing that song pop up in a couple of the set list, but I didn't know what it was. What cd is that on?

I will say that the crowd last night wasn't as hyped as the two shows at the Palace last month. There was practically no one sitting at the Palace, but there were a lot of folks sitting last night, especially during the acoustic set. I was kinda of surprise. The crowd did get back into it after the band joined him again during 7.

Of course, the NPG threw down, but I want to make a special mention about John B. He has to be one of the best drummers there are...simply awesome. It seemed like he had more solos last night. The crowd loved it.

Another thing different last night was that he brought a few people on the stage early in the show. I don't recall him doing that last month. I couldn't believe my eyes when the first woman he called to the stage, tripped, fell and rolled...oh my lawd. She had to be embarrassed. She did manage to recover well..

I went with two non-Prince fans and they had a ball. They said that they had never had that much fun at a concert before. We were all sore from all the dancing after the concert. I don't see how he does a 2.5 hr concert, night after night, at age 46.

The only bad thing about last night was that we had some drinking, drunk idiots behind us. There was a group of about 10 people but only 4 of them actually had seats, so the rest were clustered in the aisle and doubled up in the row. I almost had to curse one woman out because she kept hitting me in the head. I let it slide the first couple of times, but when she did it again I turned around and let her know what she was doing and that I wanted it stopped. One of the guys was dancing in the aisle and kicked my sister several times. She had to hold her fist up to him to let him know that she was going to kick his ass if he did it again. Several of them had a full cup of beer in each hand as they hovered over our heads. We kept turning around, looking like 'wtf.' Of course, some ended up splashing beer on my sister. What's the fucking purpose of going to a concert and getting pissy drunk. Damn, people can't enjoy a night of entertainment without drinking. As we were leaving, one of the chicks put her hand on my back and said, 'Thanks for putting up with us' I was like 'whatever.'

Overall, I had a wonderful time and I was so glad that my sister and her sister-in-law had a blast. I am debating as to whether I will be going to the show tonight. I haven't bought a ticket yet. I am still recuperating from last night ....



ps Eventhough P has performed Something in the Water, CMN and 17 Days on this tour before, he didn't perform them when he was here last month, so it was special to us. Plus, he only did one song for the encore last month. We got two this time...

I saw the show as well. And it was funny when he bought the lady who fell down on the stage.


He did look cute doing his dances.

Yes I was elated by "17 Days" and "Something In the Water."


GREAT SHOW BY A GREAT MUSICIAN!!!!


Now I feel really bad I missed the after party.

That was DEFINITELY Carmen Harlan. She was sitting in the lower bowl near Blackwell's set. She was cuttin' a rug with her partner in the purple suit!

I got a kick out of that acoustic set rap saying"Warner Brothers was a friend of mine,now they're just a monumental waste of time! My band is TIGHT!

lovemachine said:

Did anybody notice tha sharp brother wearing the full length purple pin-striped blazer with the matching pants with the waves in his hair with the black hankerceif...that was Tha Loaksta himself!

fiveorange said:

Does ladies he had on stage with him was fine as hell! I danced with two of them at the OSLO afterparty(the well endowed girl with the white top and black tights was a fave...even though I forgot what she said her name was.

MsMisha319 said:

He throwed Down at tha Joe Louis! I don't think that tonights concert at the Palace of Alburn Hills can compete.....but I'm gonna find out anyway!

Carmen was wearing jeans and a black shirt. Very casual.

I couldn't believe he played Seventeen Days. I told my mom (who was with me), that was my JAM in high school. Me and my friend used to call Mojo every night and ask him to play Prince for us, and he would always play Seventeen Days! Of course, we had our little dance to it too!!

Great show, and even though I was sitting behind Backwell, I still didn't get picked to go up on stage. This is my fourth Prince show too. That's been my dream since I was like 13 years old!!!

Still, the show was very good. He is an awesome guitar player (which we all know).

Did anyone hear what he was singing when he sang DMSR and instead of singing "work your body like a whore," he sang something else?

PurpleCharm said:

Girl, I KNOW that was Carmen...her hair was jacked though, , like it always gets
when it's humid or raining outside. Just watch, when it rains, she wears her hair pulled
back...

She was dancing with the older guy in the purple blazer towards the end. She was
wearing a simple black shirt with jeans that had some brown embroidery on the sides.

She's a BIG Prince fan...We saw her at the State Theatre show also...in her full mink coat.

Their weatherman was also there, not Gaidica, but Humphries...

"Work it baby like ya want some more"
Or something like that...

We were 7th row behind Blackwell...did you notice the 2 guys in drag sittin' in
row 1!??? They weren't tryin' to fool NOBODY!

Loakum said:

I know EXACTLY who you are talkin' about!
The girl in the purple skintight catsuit had plenty of NERVE to wear that thing.
Nothin' comes between her and her suit...

BTW, I had some mini-skirts dancing on my side of the stage...

it was lots of drunk ppl around...omg!
some sleazy chicken head came up to the front row, where we were....and was throwing her ass in my lil brothers face...so I stepped on her foot and told the guards to come haul her ass away!
she was nasty LMAO!!!

Revolution said:

What a minute. You mean Carmen was the lady with the poufy hair dancing in the center with the old man. I thought that woman was white. I had know idea that was Carmen.

You go Carmen..

Revolution said:

I missed Carmen. Where??
was she the woman that fell down on her azz??? LOL

Revolution said:

@ the woman with the catsuit. You could see her coochie imprint.

The woman with the white top and black spandex pants did her thing on the stage. She looked nice, could dance and knew the lyrics to the song when P put the mic to her mouth.

dustysgirl said:

I didn't see her. Did she actually come on stage and dance?





I think it went something like "work your body like you want some more"

Purplecharm I was hoping to see you there.. maybe at the afterparty, but since I didn't know what you looked like, I guess that was dumb. LOL I didn't see anyone who seemed like a Prince fan at Oslo... most of the people there didn't even go to the concert last night

He played 17 days and Call My Name at the second Toronto show.

PurpleCharm said:

What about the chick in all white who got P's white brim hat AND got on stage and danced with him... and dayum, she looked GOOD in his hat. I was so jealous

NPD313 said:

Something similar to that happened to us during the Hit and Run tour in 2000. A woman somehow worked her way to the first row where my high school aged buddy and I were sitting. She lifeted her skirt and "tworked" her behind in every possible motion right in front on Prince, the band, and the front few rows at the theatre. Dudes started stuffing dollar bills into her thong. It was a very memorable night, but inappropriate nontheless.

Last night's show at the JOE was off the hook as usual. It was my 6th Prince show and we had awesome seats again. Thanks NPGMC, and thanks Detroit. Detroiters sure do know how to have a great time! Much love to the TRUE FUNK SOLDIERS!

Lord have mercy, that lady in the catsuit looked naked I couldn't believe they pulled her up there...I can't believe she had the nerve to wear something like that. Oh yeah, Carmen Harlen was doing her thing, for sure

The funniest people were upstairs, though, in the Executive Suites. Sooooo many drunks, it was ridiculous. I seriously wanted to ask, "Are any of you from Prince.org??"

I also loved when Prince asked the ladies to sing with him. He said, "Ladies, sing with me..." Then, when he killed the guitar. Man, he killed it...all they could do was throw a towel on it and take it away...Beautiful

Great show

Smooches;)

Loakum said:

Dont you mean T - I - T - E?
Remember he spelled it out for us?

prodigalfan said:

I didn't realize that the woman on the stage with the white hat was the same woman that caught his hat until my sister told me.. She was working that hat. How lucky was she to not only catch P's hat, but to dance on stage with him. I am jealous too...

I was looking around wondering if you and all the other people that post on the org were in attendance. We could have been sitting next to or around each other and never knew it. Hopefully, one day, we will all be able to put faces with the screen names..

MsMisha319 said:

Yeah that was a cool moment! I loved it. I didn't know Prince had such as sense of humor.

Also my fave part was Prince in his white brim hat and he posed and said "somebody take a picture of me! I know about those phones!!!!"


And the phones were out!
