I've only attended the very last concert of the tour, the September 11 San Jose one. I had a feeling it sucked and I was actually happy to read that prince performed great the night before. So he's still the man. (Of course I desperately tried to find the answer to the question:" Why, why did you not go one night earlier???" I also could have gone twice. Because even after the last concert I would have gone again. Except that the tour was over. But how was I to know that I'd still love prince, after growing up and everything?)
But I wondered: If this was a bad night, what was different on good nights? For instance the dancing. I noticed that he actually started the concert very enthusiastic and did a full, very energetic choreography. Later, it seemed, he was just pacing he stage like his own backyard (which it is, of course, in some sense), with an occasional spin. But the energy and the choreography seemed to be missing. I'm not complaining, I'm very glad to see that prince is human and has to work as hard as everybody to deliver. It's kind of encouraging. If he was that good the night before it was probably similar to performing a great dress rehearsal, which means the premiere is doomed. 2 nights in a row are a hard thing. Anyhow, from concerts way, way back - Sign Of the Times tour and Lovesexy tour - I remember that every step was planned. Almost the whole concert was a big choreography. So my question - was he dancing more at the other concerts of the tour? Did he do any splits (which I'm not expecting, because he is even older that I am...)
Second question: Did he shout out the city name of the night all the time at every concert? In San Jose, that really got on my nerves. I know where I'm living. And that is a cheap trick to get the croud. Once or twice, ok, but not all the time. Or was he just trying to remind himself that this is the same place he had so much fun the night before? Or was it a last straw to entertain the croud, because he did not have the energy to be very radiant anymore? Ok, I'm getting carried away with interpretation now, usually not a good thing.
Third question: Was there a girl with a raspberry beret in the audience (and appearing on the screen during the song) in every concert? That was so great, it drove me nuts when I saw it.

First; Please invest an a dictionary, your diction and spelling is very terrible. Next, stop wasting everyones time with this weak shit; " Did he do a split?" "Did he shout out your city's name?"
Let it go!!!

Ooh, someone got angry. (Invest "an a dictionary?") Sorry to say U waste ur own time responding... Why don't you go vent in a gym. Or practice splits for that matter. This is about love and peace, haven't u heard?

I can's say that the prior responses were entirely inappropriate. If you're a true fan and sincerely interested in how the other show went, you would have read the concert reviews on this site, housequake and of course, NPGMusicClub. Enough said.

DC in the House.

Don't forget the misused semicolons after the words "first" and "shit."
