REVIEW OF DALLAS SOUNDCHECK AND SHOW

Thanx Prince for coming to Dallas. I believe that this was the best concert that I have ever seen. I arrived at the Music Hall @ 3:00 to find that I would be 25th on the list (people arrived there as early as 10:30am). There was one NPGer who thought that she was the only person in Dallas to have a confirmation number. Since, according to her, her membership allowed her to get to the front of the line, she refused to sign the list. It made more than a few people upset, but we were assured that the Music Hall would go by the list. Around 6, the tornado alarm went off so they let us in the building in2 the basement. After waiting there a few minutes, we were told that it was time. Every1 was extremely excited. When I got 2 the front of the line, they said that there was 1 more seat in the first two rows, so I jumped @ the chance. My seat was in the first row, left side of stage next to a speaker. When we got inside (around 7), Prince and the NPG were playing "PAISLEY PARK." When the song was over, while talking to us a lady started making some odd chants/noises. He talked to her for a moment, then he told her that when people come up to you throwing up hand signals, they should throw up a few signals of their own. After he finished with her, he apologised for the short soundcheck, but the weather was the problem.
I have to admit that as far as I'm concerned, this is the best band that Prince has put together. He only preformed one song because of the tornado, but the concert made up for the short soundcheck. I never thought that Dallas would enjoy a Prince concert without the oldies- Purple Rain, 1999, ect.
Anyway, thanx Prince for the great show and the opportunity to meet other NPGer's in Dallas. Please come again soon and release the first cd so that we can check out the new music you have ready for us.
Sorry, I don't have any information on the after party, but I have to work tomorrow.

p.s Erica Badu showed up, but she didn't preform. He kept calling her name in songs, but she kept her seat. Maybe next time.
