Not really, depends... If someone is willing to organize a thing like that! Maybe a question for all the smart people, who is the initial organizer for these aftershows? the tour-promoter, prince's people, ... any thoughts??? dazzler

I think an aftershow normally could b set up really fast... so if the crowd is just wild and funky, he HAS 2 organize 1.. or do u think the aftershows r already planned in advance? Like they've already been planned at this moment? |

No, I think it goes like this
Prince wakes up, damn I'm in a good mood. I wanna play until 7am today!!! He calls his personal assistant and asks : Yo dude, arrange an aftershow somewhere... personal assistant calls the promotor of the belgian leg of the tour, or calls the guy who is responsible for the venue, whatever and says : Hey dude, PRINCE NEEDS to have an aftershow tonight, arrange it ASAP 3rd guy calls whoever he knows in a frenzy and a crappy aftershow is being organized, just my 2 cents off course... dazzler

Here's my thought:
The one time he has done an aftershow after a Belgium concert was in 1995. The concert was in Ghent, the aftershow in Brussel, in Forest National. The stadion in Antwerp can hold 20.000 people. Imagine that there is an aftershow, they let the people know after the concert and only half of the people is interested. That means there will be a run of 10.000 people to the small club where the aftershow will be. I don't think this is the smartest thing to do, and I believe Prince knows this as well. If the aftershow is at Vorst, it may be not that bad, because only the die-hards will go through the trouble of getting there, and Vorst can hold up to 4.000 people I believe. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ozark Henry is performing in the AB in Brussel on the 18th,
wouldn't it be a great idea to leave all the musicians gear on stage and let the npg jam at the AB at, let's say 3 AM?? dazzler

The only real aftershow was after the performance in Ghent 1993 ACT 2. Afterwards they went to Brussels, The Mirano (this was a remarkable performance, prince trashing his guitar and other instruments!!!) the Gold Experience Show in Forest National was not really an aftershow, but an extra performance (one of the best ever, granted) Let us hope for another one, fingers crossed [This message was edited Wed Sep 18 6:20:39 PDT 2002 by dazzler] dazzler
