Apparently, the reason I heard that they opened the doors way late for the Target Center show was that Prince ordered a second security sweep of the building at the last minute, so they couldn't let anybody in. Did anybody else hear this?

Also, the fat white guy that sang "Play That Funky Music"--was he or was he not John Goodman?

1. Macy's ran late, soundcheck ran late, that's why Target Center ran late.

2. Not John Goodman.

Better safe than sorry , i always say!

Makes sense, his safety should come first but then the police cut his show short cause clubs have to close at 2:00 a.m. there!

No, he was.

man, we heard a LOT of goofy rumors over the weekend. the most cracked-out rumor we heard was that there was gonna be a FOURTH show at paisley after the first avenue aftershow.

an after-aftershow

of course, knowing prince's crazy ass, i think we believed it for a second.

John Goodman can sing. That guy could not!

RipHer2Shreds said:

that guy could sing a lot better than the sad deer-in-headlight cases he usually drags up there!

HERE IS THE REASON HE WAS LATE:

thanks!

I was in the third row, center seats. That was not John Goodman...just a very large white guy who may have looked like John Goodman from farther away in the venue.
