Am I missing something here?? 6/15 6/22 6/29 7/6 ** 7/13 7/20 7/27 Sounds like it's all on Saturday the 7th anyways!! They aren't consecutive Fridays--just seven Fridays total. What about the "surprise" concert he's putting on at midnight on the 7th to promote the 24 hour charity event? I thought that might be broadcast from the Roosevelt, but man, has he got a full schedule that weekend!! | |

mudflapgirl72 said: Wheels said: The local Mpls news site www.kare11.com has a news feature about this concert. In the write up they say:
"The July 7 concert, 07/07/07, is tied to the release of a new Prince perfume called 3121. Prince fans recognize the number as the title of a recent Prince CD, and as the address of the singer's Hollywood Hills mansion." The part about it being the address of his Hollywood Hills mansion is news to me. Is this correct? Does he really own a home with this address? If so, why is he planning to stay at the Rosevelt for weeks this summer? Why not stay at home and play the gigs at the hotel? From what I understand, he rented that mansion for his cd release party. I don't know if he still has it or not. There was a blurb on the news at the time that he had replaced the carpet with purple carpet without permission of the homeowner. lol. | |

RaspberryWoman said: jseven said: They reported seven consecutive Friday's but how many dates at 3121 las Vegas were consecutive? He could always do a show the Saturday before and then would not have to perform the weekend of 07/07/07. It is more like 7 shows not consecutive weeks and remember, the details/deal was still being ironed out. Aside from the Super Bowl, he has not performed in an arena since 2004 and this band only has that once Super Bowl appearance on their slate. Now, as I am taking a stab at, he performs the weekend before both Friday and Saturday, it would leave him the entire week to rehearse at the Target Center pending nothing else is going on there. (Anyone care to check Target's calendar?) There's a basketball game tuesday night before the 7th but that's all. There is nothing scheduled at the Target Center on Friday July 6th & there is a basketball game scheduled on Sunday, July 8th. This will be so kewl for Prince to add another show on Friday, July 6th. | |

I was emailing bout this earlier. It feels scary and wrong to be figuring this out without you. You have been my damn purple partner since almost day 1! Like since the Beautiful Experience at The Quest! DUDE! 
but you will be having THE TIME OF YOUR LIFE. So, it's sadder for us than you. Does that help? 
[Edited 5/29/07 17:17pm] ohhh i love you 
i think out first show together was the benefit show at glam slam...thats the one you talking bout right?! i think you went to one or two more shows at the park than i did....but otherwise we have done every prince show together. and carrie has been at most of them...since forever ago. 
but yes...i am going to be having a wonderful time, and thinking of you all. 
it feels weird to not be a part of it and be here, ya know? I for one was secretly hoping for a 2002 reunion. You'll be hugely missed, sis.  | |

jseven said: SCNDLS said: The Fridays MUST be consecutive because there are exactly 7 Fridays between 6/15 and his first show in the UK on 8/1. They reported seven consecutive Friday's but how many dates at 3121 Las Vegas were consecutive? He could always do a show the Saturday before and then would not have to perform the weekend of 07/07/07. It is more like 7 shows not consecutive weeks and remember, the details/deal was still being ironed out. I KNOW it's not finalized but if he doesn't do it consecutively, do you really think he's going to go to the UK, spend 2 months there and come ALL the way back to LA for 1 or 2 shows????  That doesn't make ANY sense, especially since him and the band are living at the Roosevelt.
So I think it's consecutive. I could see him not doing an aftershow on the night before the MPLS show but it's quite possible to do the regular Friday show at the Roosevelt then hop on a plane and go to MPLS. He did this very thing during the Vegas shows. | |

He did this very thing during the Vegas shows. I never said he would go to London and come back to Los Angeles. The agreement is a 7 week residency, but for 7 shows. If he does two shows the week before, he would not have to perform the following Friday. He is fufulling his commitment then. Minneapolis is not Las Vegas. Time difference and a four hour flight. IF it was the next city over and they have been working on the same stage each night, sure. Could you imagine rehearsing at the Target Center from Wed thru Friday, having all the equipment set up and checking everything for sound and then take it down and go to Los Angeles, then take it down and bring it to Macy's, then bring it back? I don't even think the Macy's show will have all his equipment, maybe two guitars, a drum kit from Paisley.... Sigh..instead of all this speculation, let's wait and see. I don't know why I even try.... Silence Speaks A Thousand Words. | |

I do remember the purple carpet oustside (like the grammy's red carpet) & there were also purple puffy material(like a shaggy rug) inside the elevator with a heart shaped mirror. I'm sure Prince put everything back to normal when his lease was up. | |

I don't know why I even try.... Well, if the details are not finalized how can there be "agreement is a 7 week residency???" Talk about speculation??? And why on Earth would he have to rehearse at the Target center from Wednesday thru Friday??? He's often done back to back concerts in different cities, even different states, and was quite able to set up, take it down, and set up in another city without problem cuz he's a profesional. So it's not that big a deal. During Musicology Prince was in Dallas and did and an almost 3 hour show on Friday, then went to Erykah Badu's spot and did an aftershow until 6 am. The next day, Prince was scheduled to be in Shreveport, Louisiana a 3-4 hour away from Dallas but he didn't leave Dallas until after 1 pm. He was on time and ready to rock in Shreveport at 8:00 pm. So it’s not outside the realm of possibility that he could be at Macy’s the next afternoon. When I was in Vegas he left right after a show and flew to MPLS. It’s easy to do stuff like that when you have access to a private plane. [Edited 5/30/07 8:03am] | |

Again..all I said was wait and see. I am not going to back and forth about how professional he is. We all know this. I respected your opinion and I shared mine. Just because you do not agree with it does not make it right. I rather wait and see. I am done but go ahead and add more if u want. Silence Speaks A Thousand Words. | |

They were much more seasoned and used to the touring as most of them did ONA tour, too. This band, although playing together for over a year, has not been "touring." Prince may be able to do back-to-back shows, but the verdict is still out (imho) as to whether this band is up to snuff to do the same. I personally don't think they are... (Yes, I've seen them live, and heard several Vegas shows so I do know they have improved, but they still are not as tight as they could and should be for a "Prince band".)  | |

Actually, that's not all you said, you said that "The agreement is a 7 week residency." And my point was how is there an agreement if it's not finalized yet? And excuse me but I wasn't the one that made an issue of it. You were the one that added all the sighing and woe is me conjecture when all I did was respond to someone ELSE's post. And I have repeatedly pointed out that things aren't finalized both here and in the other thread. But I guess that if I have a different opinion, which BTW is based on the info that is currently available, it's viewed as a personal attack which is why you said "don't know why I even try...." Whatever. . .  [Edited 5/30/07 9:02am] | |

[Edited 5/30/07 9:02am] 2 people can have an agreement but it's not finalized until they sign on the dotted line. Also remember that this will be this bands first arena gig. It takes alot more rehearsal for them because of this. Also Dallas to Shrevesport is a 3 hour drive if I remember correctly...huge difference in the distance from LA to MPLS. Lastly, last I knew Prince traveled on commercial air carriers not private jets. like Devoted Puppy... and

Lastly, last I knew Prince traveled on commercial air carriers not private jets. like Devoted Puppy...Well, if you're going to be that technical, then the agreement that is currently public is that it's 7 consecutive Fridays. Which brings us back to where all this started. http://www.eurweb.com/sto...r33798.cfm According to the Los Angeles Times, the artist will tune up for his 21-show London run with a seven-week stand at the historic Hollywood Roosevelt hotel in Los Angeles. Beginning June 15, Prince is due to perform a two-hour set beginning each night at 11:30 p.m. for seven consecutive Fridays.
So you REALLY think that in this day and age Prince flies commercial??? As for Dallas to Shreveport I was thinking that a two tour buses would travel slower so I rounded up to 4 and I encountered a lot of traffic that day when I went so I think the four hours is a good estimate. Besides that's comparable to a flight from LA to MPLS.
Again, he was still set up in another city and state and ready to go within 6 hours of leaving Dallas. I was there. Which was REALLY my point to begin with that it's logistically possible to leave one city and play another city in a short amount of time. Bands do it every day. Prince had SEVERAL back to back dates on Musicology alone so it's not impossible. I was addressing J7's comment that they'd have to get there on Wednesday for a Saturday show, which I'm saying isn't necessary. | |
