i was reading a report from the portland show and they said the guitar tech told them that was the last night of the tour.the band was taking a month off which means they will get back together to get ready for the celebration...i guess ONA is over...i had fun though

I don't know... Prince has a way of pulling surprises. If it wasn't on NPGMC.com, i would reserve some kind of doubt. I know the band do need 2 rest. that's 4 sure.

+ it do b tru that prince needs 2 start planning the 7-day celebration, cuz all those shows gotta b different or we'll feel gyped.

Damn... & No Vegas, huh? i'm glad i grabbed LA when i had the chance. i was just gonna w8 4 Vegas cuz i thought that would have been an off-the-hook experience.

& maybe while prince takes his time off, chillin' in "The Land O' Snow", he can think about pumpin' out the 1st 2002 NPGMC freakin' CD!

Why the hell did they not hit New England?????

he can't get the bus over water

Prince was seen at Jasmines last night. He did not play but the Blackshire brothers did get up and sing.

"New England" is part of the US.... "England" is another country.


Y'all stay funky.....

A guituar tech said this? I would want to hear it from a more official source.

Jasmine said:

And Jasmine's is where???

Jasmines is in mpls. That's where Kirk and his band play every wednesday night.

PGrinn said:

yes, but to get to New England from Minnesota you have to cross the Great Lakes.....

Jasmine said:

i gotta start hanging out at Jazzmines.

i was even downtown last night and went right past it...

glad to know he's safe and sound in MN again.

because he expected y'all 2 drive 2 the DC or NYC show & cut each other's throats over the 7,000 or so tickets that r already sold n very populated cities.

DAMN BLAST!!

BLOODY HELL!!!

I know it was a longshot, but DAMN I wanted him to slide back through the Bay & do another show/small club set!!!

In my best Florida Evans voice...

Damn, DAMN, DAYUM!!! :X

I'd understand since The Celebration is coming up, but DAMN ... I nixed an invitation to an Ani DiFranco concert waiting 4 him to swing this way.
And, at $250 for Celly tickets + $100 membership + $100/night hotel room + $250 RT plane tickets + $100 car rental + $$$food, DAMN!!! ... guess I missed out once again. Hopefully, my sun'll rise on another Paisley 2morrow.

BNATURAL said:

I was told the exact same thing by his tech. while he was in Seattle.

Dont worry, it's not over yet, true that P is going 2 take a month off but eye'm sure as soon as the celebration is over, he will b back out on the road, u know the man cant sit still.

I remember in that NPGMC chat about the 2nd year of the club it said Prince was going to do a Summer Amphitheater tour. I hope that happens, but I doubt it.

umm...you can drive around them...silly!


so nep2unes if Prince hadn't gone to buffalo and only did a Boston (or lily-white, Maine WTF?) date...would you have been able to make it? and if not, would you be happy about it?

I don't know 'bout anyone else but I was looking very forward to seeing the Vegas show. I purchased nonrefundable plane tix, and a suite at the Alladin for my best friend's birthday present and the surprise was going to be the show. It's a good thing I caught him in Oakland. However, the lack of information on the npgmusicclub.com site with regard to the tour (i.e., all dates are tentative -- no current shows scheduled) left me hoping and, ultimately, extremely let down.

JAMIESTARR said:

I'm guessing there aren't many fans left up here, or at least NPGMC members. Maybe that's why he bailed. The last big tour (emancipation) didn't do that well either.

DMSR said:

the emancipation tour didn't do very well here??? what makes you say that?? I heard the fleet wasn't sold out but..it was close I think he always comes here, so I figured we were a good crowd...I hope we're a good crowd.
he better come here, dagnabit! he should try the new verizon wireless center in Manchester! that would be cool.

Eye think he still might go 2 Concord California this year, a couple of weeks ago eye e-mailed the concord pavilion asking them if Prince was still going 2b there on May 3rd and they said it looked like P wasn't going 2b there until later this summer, so looks like it could happen.

Me too. Just waitin for those weekend Paisly shows. The mans gotta warm up for the celly!

Nep2nes said:

I am tired of people forgetting WNY. Represent, yo! Buffalo isn't quite New England - we actually all talk more like we're from the Midwest.

DMSR said:

When he came to the Fleet Center for the Emancipation tour it wasn't sold out, but the place was very filled. He even scheduled another date at the end of the tour at the Worcester Centrum, but he canceled that along w/ a New York date because he needed rest. New England was the first date of the Hit N Run Tour, and the Palladium was sold out. We really should have got a One Night Alone tour date!

I know this may not be on subject but...
One of the artists on the guest list for the celebration will be touring with his own band, so how can he play at the celebration?
silly, silly prince!
