waauh what a soundchek, what a concert, what an aftershow.

Prince was absolutly fantastic in copenhagen.

the soundcheck:
we came in and the band and prince was playing. It was som great, to sit row 2, right in front of prince and the band. The joked around and was having a great time.

I always thought that I kind of knew prince. always thought that if I sat down and talked to him, it would be like talking to one of your best friends. Because of his lyrics and music that is. His guitar playing is telling so; a direct voice from his soul.
It was great to experience the other members; U were all great, and there was a nice and relaxed vibe before the soundcheck; no pushing or hectic behaviour; great.
the soundcheck lastet for about an hour.

the concert:

I was having very high expantations to the show, having read all the reports from other shows. So I was kind of worried that I could be disapointed; WHAT A FOOL I WAS. It was beyound words; absolutely great, warm, loving, fun and inspiring.
Prince simply opens up and lets the music flow. This transcends to every single soul in the house.
At one point thoug; prince stopped the music, pointed at a couple at the balcony; they were sitting down !!! We all buhheddd !!! (in a loving humoristic way), just to care about them saying; Hey, we want u to join the party to. I dont know if they did; or maybe they were from the press !!
At the end of the concert Prince made a comment about som bad rewiews from danish newspapers from the aalborg gig. he did say something like;I dont care what the media says; I had a great funky time.
Of course the respond he got on that was telling that we did to. Peace be with the reporters that write bad about the show, the clearly did´nt get what is was all about.

Prince played so many great songs and so much great music; it is impossible for med to mention some highpoints; I guess that the whole experience was a highpoint.
The band was so good, they seems so alert and focused, responding on every wink from prince. It is clear that he is in total control in a inspiring way.
the concert lastet for about 3 hours.

the afthershow:

Vega was announced as the place to go.
Me and my friend did´nt know if they were going to play. We did relax; went to eat som falaffel and hommous, then went to Vega. When we got there there were hundreds of people standing in line. We went right in; so great being a member.

The show was fantastic. It was pure rock and roll, deep funk and soulfully playing from prince and the band.

I was a bit tired, but as soon as prince went on stage; I was like; Here we go again jumping, singing, dancing, smiling and claping.

COPENHAGEN U CAN SHAKE IT.
I was feeling that this show was very special; everybody was into it and prince was clearly having a great time to.

At one point he told some people to stop taking pictures, that he had a warm hotel bed waiting; he did that in a funny loving way, and they actually stopped.
I thing that prince enjoyed the response from copenhagen. When we thought that the show was over he came back and continued for a long time. ANd thats when it was even more special; deep deep funk fantastic bass playing, guitar playing and keyboard playing.
I KNOW that this is 2002, but it was at times like I was standing in the middle of the purple rain movie; it was that kind of scene and feeling, in other words; TIMELESS.

The aftershow lastet for about 90 minutes.

SO PRINCE; THANK U FOR A GREAT EVENING, I´VE HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING U FOR ABOUT 20 YEARS, AND U ARE GOING IN THE DIRECTION THAT REFLECTS THAT U ARE A MATURE, INSIGHTFULL MUSICIAN AND HUMAN BEING.
ALL MY LOVE AND PEACE TO U AND U´RS. SEE U AGAIN SOME DAY.

LOVE HENRIK.

I have a feeling that you and your mate had a great time

Hey!
I think that Henrik pretty much said all that needed to be said about the show! it was fantastic!
And he is right, we could all be friends..- The funny thing is to see how different we really are (esp in style, look etc) but still we got something incommen and we'll always be diggin' Prince's music!!

"At one point he told some people to stop taking pictures, that he had a warm hotel bed waiting; he did that in a funny loving way, and they actually stopped"

This made me remember the conversation we had in the taxi to the hotel after we left the afterparty in Stockholm. We were talking ‘bout the fact that Prince didn’t show up and a guy said: "Well, if the sauna department is good..." I couldn’t stop laughing when I saw an image in my head of Prince sitting on the sauna bench and whisking him self with a bunch of birches.

Thanks for the review henrik

That was because the big black bouncer got the photographer politely by his jacket and escorted him to the exit.

Politely?
