PrintableIt looked like he was pretending to put the envelope in to his top pocket, but playfully dropped it to the floor.
Loved the way he jammed with the guitar player that came on near the end, poor lad was completely star struck, not sure who he was, but P gave him his guitar to play and his face looked like all his Xmas's had come at once. | |

Thanks for naming this tune, i didn't know what it was...just been listening to a version on youtube...awesome! I was at the aftershow on the 1st too...the band played miles davis's 'footprints' that night...it's amazing how well they play/jam some off these covers...were do they find the time to learn all these tunes!...they must have rehearsed the tunes they did last night...surely?....no musicians are THAT good...are they? | |

WHY THE CONCEPT OF AN AFTERSHOW IS SATANIC
... and how EYE slept with PRINCE... Oh, and: what a memorable night 18 07 2007 has been! EYE know U’re supposed to B discreet about the time U’ve spent with Prince, and 2 B hermetically closed about what U did with Him, where, and how. Ladies & Gentlemen: no pictures, please. But EYE’ve decided 2 B totally frank about my Xperience with the only man alive on Planet Earth EYE consider a mentor, a special friend, and a role model. Saturday morning 18 August EYE drove with my dearly B-loved friends Potser, F.A. Johnson & Private LjipEYE D*I*L*L*E*R from Amsterdam 2 London. During the 6 hour RIDE we listened 2 a lot of music. We started with playing Planet Earth. We were forced 2 skip song after song. The only song we enjoyed from beginning 2 end was Chelsea Rogers. EYE felt the song was written 4 me. About Planet Earth our final verdict was: if this is Planet Earth, let’s fly 2 Mars RIGHT NOW. At 17:00 we arrived in Great Britain. EYE didn’t get the Great, really: instead of greatness EYE saw a sad, lifeless, not great but greyed country sprawled with ugly houses and ugly people. Polite, but not feeling it. Going through the motions. Everywhere we came we had 2 stand in cue. EYE prefer living cueless. The supporting act MAYA was a suboptimal choice. Unless U want to preroll your own act with something boring, characterless, without any direction with 1 single purpose: to shine more yourself. The videoscreens were small, cheap, and barely visible. The badly edited clips of the badly looking Prince merchandise were cheaper, on the verge of being painful. What an unpleasant supRISE that a superstar like What's His Name? has to sell his stuff so sexless. & the visuals were ugly, edited in a cocaine like rush. @ 21:12 What's His Name started, sartorially dressed in black and white. Sexy motherfucker, EYE thought. The O2 dome was immediately charged with his energy. 3121 was the opener. Although not a fan of the song, EYE enjoyed it anyway. Peach was a Thriller. Sheer orgone sweeping through the dome. SHHHH, another song EYE always feel as written strictly 4 me, was artfully per4med. Prince shouted: EYE want 2 tear the roof of this s*cker. EYE want to party till 7.” Great! EYE thought. This is going 2 B a beautiful night. But then a strange, mesmerizing thing happened. EYE got really, really tired. The band wasn’t introduced. Even stronger: the band did barely PLAY @ ALL.... When PRINCE sat behind his synthesizer to ‘improvise,’ a CD was played with pre-recorded stuff. The band members sat down in the dark. 4 me, Prince was going through the motions: no song was brought 2 completion. A rushed, hurried, lifeless per4mance. EYE’ve been told Prince has rehearsed 150 songs for this 21 nights cycle. From a 1 trick pony 2 a 150 trick pony, EYE thought. But even with a million tricks, you’re still a pony. 4 the rest of the evening, EYE had difficulties 2 STAY AWAKE. @ 22:50 the houselights were put on. There were BOOOO’S. My dearly B-loved friends and me drove home in Potser’s Picasso (a car, not exactly a Picasso). We were disappointed. Then an amazing thing happened: Potser put on Controversy. EYE said: what a great, miraculous, totally true song! And how funky. D*I*L*L*E*R said: " EYE think it was 1 of the highlights of 2night." EYE said: " Highlights? EYE haven’t heard the Contoversy? R U serious?" All my friends screamed. But EYE was really sad because this meant that EYE had FALLEN ASLEEP while attending a per4mance of The Former Artist EYE respect so much! NOW What's His Name is A 49 year old man who doesn't connect, stuck in his own world, untouchable, lonely, isolated, going through the motions... AU TISTIC Simply not alive anymore... Prince esta muerto? Since yesterday evening, the evening EYE have slept with Prince, EYE say, yes, 4 me, PRINCE ESTA MUERTO. At 07:04 in the morning my friend Potser SMS’ed me: ‘ GVD aftershow of 90 minutes. Asshole. EYE like U more!’ Promising that there is something better than the present moment (like an aftershow) is SATANIC!!! Then you're satan's litttle helper and EYE don't want 2 have anything 2 do with U anymore, U've lost it, go away. Potser, EYE love U more! Oh, & bEYE the way: @ the 02 Prince merchandise stand EYE’ve tested the 3121 fragrance. Don’t buy it. It smells. Love, liberty, life and light wished 4 all of U, Chelsea Rogers from Amsterdam | |

I'm guessing you weren't at the aftershow then. Sorry if you missed it, it was too funky.
while doing a rushed, bored " main " show. I think it's the work of the devil As for the main show, yes it was short, but apart from that there wasn't much wrong with it. Prince seemed in good spirits and I had a great time there too. RIP  | |

the aftershow was simply amazing

The aftershow was sick. SICK. He looked cool as f*ck. How cool was TBODP? Still cannot believe I saw my first aftershow and then one like that. They completely, absolutely and totally nailed it. Anybody remember Renato's solo where he found this lick that he repeated a couple of bars? Prince started to nod and clap. Just one of these moments. And Cora is a monster, too.
Damn, I wish I could replay those grooves over and over. | |

EYE want to party till 7.” Great! EYE thought. This is going 2 B a beautiful night. But then a strange, mesmerizing thing happened. EYE got really, really tired. The band wasn’t introduced. Even stronger: the band did barely PLAY @ ALL.... When PRINCE sat behind his synthesizer to ‘improvise,’ a CD was played with pre-recorded stuff. The band members sat down in the dark. 4 me, Prince was going through the motions: no song was brought 2 completion. A rushed, hurried, lifeless per4mance. EYE’ve been told Prince has rehearsed 150 songs for this 21 nights cycle. From a 1 trick pony 2 a 150 trick pony, EYE thought. But even with a million tricks, you’re still a pony. 4 the rest of the evening, EYE had difficulties 2 STAY AWAKE. @ 22:50 the houselights were put on. There were BOOOO’S. My dearly B-loved friends and me drove home in Potser’s Picasso (a car, not exactly a Picasso). We were disappointed. Then an amazing thing happened: Potser put on Controversy. EYE said: what a great, miraculous, totally true song! And how funky. D*I*L*L*E*R said: " EYE think it was 1 of the highlights of 2night." EYE said: " Highlights? EYE haven’t heard the Contoversy? R U serious?" All my friends screamed. But EYE was really sad because this meant that EYE had FALLEN ASLEEP while attending a per4mance of The Former Artist EYE respect so much! NOW What's His Name is A 49 year old man who doesn't connect, stuck in his own world, untouchable, lonely, isolated, going through the motions... AU TISTIC Simply not alive anymore... Prince esta muerto? Since yesterday evening, the evening EYE have slept with Prince, EYE say, yes, 4 me, PRINCE ESTA MUERTO. At 07:04 in the morning my friend Potser SMS’ed me: ‘ GVD aftershow of 90 minutes. Asshole. EYE like U more!’ Promising that there is something better than the present moment (like an aftershow) is SATANIC!!! Then you're satan's litttle helper and EYE don't want 2 have anything 2 do with U anymore, U've lost it, go away. Potser, EYE love U more! Oh, & bEYE the way: @ the 02 Prince merchandise stand EYE’ve tested the 3121 fragrance. Don’t buy it. It smells. Love, liberty, life and light wished 4 all of U, Chelsea Rogers from Amsterdam I respect UR opinion... But i think u need to STOP calling up that shrink... that's telling u everything is all right in ur life!!!! I think u might be Bipolar or depressive! Seek help before it's too late for u! Prince is very much alive and kicks any live act outta this galaxy! Peace out! [Edited 8/19/07 13:19pm] [Edited 8/19/07 17:08pm] HE put my name across my thigh... | |

I took a couple of friends from work with me who had never seen Prince before and I was so dissapointed with the main show for them cos' I really wanted them to see why I dig him so much.. But as soon as he got on that stage at the indigo he blew them away, they fuckin loved it! [i]Have to say, in my opinion, would be hard to beat last night's aftershow. Been to them before but this one had the WOW factor!!!!! Great for us all of us there, sad for those who missed it!!! [/i]  | |

YES.....deep impressed we´re back home in Germany.
This aftershow...there are no words to describe it in the right way.... And these tracks....Stevie and the Peppers....WONDERFUL. In my opinion the gig was too short...(addition of HIS performance)...but I was that close to HIM...exactly at the front of his symbol...about 16 feet...and I´m sure he saw ME...(taller than each other in that rows)....
FANTASTIC ! (akime from germany...adoring HIM since the purple days....)......and....sorry for less quality in grammar...if your german is in a better shape....it´s up 2 u | |

Well, the solution to all this is for Prince to keep writing songs strictly for you. | |

It was my very first Prince show + aftershow ever and I still can't believe he played my favorite song The Ballad Of Dorothy Parker! 
Instead of singing "I knew I was threw" he just kinda pointed at his face...too cute... During the show he let some people on stage dancing and the whole time I was wondering, how are they gonna tell them to get off stage again? But then after quite a while Prince simply said: "Go back to your seats!" It took about 30 seconds for all them fans to get off the stage, haha! He's so demanding...too sexy! Also one girl got a bit close (maybe 3 meters) to Prince and the security told her to stay away from him, they probably always do that now since the one girl kissed him on his cheek and had to be pulled away a few weeks ago remember? At the aftershow he said: "Christopher Columbus didn't need directions...(pause)...and neither do we" He never played the song "Guitar" though which I would have loved to see and at the aftershow he asked which songs he should play and one guy kept screaming "Chelsea Rodgers" and me thinking yay hopefully he will play that, but instead he played The Ballad Of Dorothy Parker, which as I told you now has always been MY SONG (dishwater blonde, tall and fine...) - you may call me Dorothy
I bought the perfume and the way I bought it was hilarious: I wanted to buy it no matter what it smells like, I would have bought it without testing it so the guy gives the tester to me and I show it to my friend and she goes "naw that's too sweet for my taste, I dont like it" and I said to the guy: "Yes okay I'll take one" totally ignoring her, we both thought that was quite funny. My friend and I agreed that the t-shirts were too expensive for such a bad quality and we wont buy a shirt and then watching that merchandising video about 300 times before the show made me say after a while "yeah I do like this one shirt" and my friend laughing and telling me that I'm brainwashed watching that over and over again, hehe. Also cute: Prince holding the mic towards the crowd and the crowd singing: "I love you baby, I love you so much" and Prince answering "I love you back" ... It's these little things he did that I hope I'll never forget. Also when he played the guitar at the aftershow looking down at it the whole time and then looking up to the left part of the crowd (where I was standing) just kind of relaxed playing his guitar and all the hands going up from our part he was looking at waving at him ...
Just to let everyone know who has never seen Prince live. If you think he can't get any sexier you have got to see him live! [Edited 8/19/07 16:19pm] 18 August 2007, O2 Arena, London

blackbird9173 said: I was at the front on the left of the stage and noticed that silver thing.. everyone wondered what it was.. when he flung it back down to the ground. Awwww, sorry mate. I thought he was just having fun though. He was in fine form... especially when he said to that girl 'someone get a bartender' class.
JazzMeUp said: Gosh, where do I start?
This was my second aftershow this year (first one was on Aug 1st) and I feel so blessed that he turned up both times. I still can’t believe how good last night was though. To start with, I noticed that a lot of efforts were put into the stage deco: rose petals spread all over the floor, oriental touches here and there, cushions, couches, etc. As for the show itself, it was simply mind-blowing: the sound and the entertainment were coming from all directions! It was like watching never ending fireworks, there was so much to look at and listen to. To add to the perfection of the night, I had managed to find a little cozy space at the front with plenty of room to dance. And dancing I did! I was so close to the stage that Maceo‘s horn was nearly blowing in my face! And Prince was on such top form (btw we’ll never stress enough how good a choice that funky red feathery hat was). Those old blaxploitation songs he played at the beginning announced the funky tone of the night. That included instrumental 'Stratus' (Billy Cobham’s) one of my old times favorites' which he had also played on the 1st August aftershow. I had never seen Prince that close before  and whilst he was doing a bit of hand touching I grabbed the opportunity to give him a tiny silvery envelope (optimistically prepared in advance) containing a "thank u for coming tonight card". He looked very surprised and examining it closer said "What is this?" to my disappointment (but one can’t have everything), he then threw it back into the front of the audience and it landed on the table top next to me but I picked it up and threw back towards the mic area (I’m the persistent kind). Later on he noticed it again as he was playing guitar and pushed it gently out of his way with the tip of his boot. Aawwh... Still, I am so grateful to have been part such a privileged crowd. One final thing: the atmosphere in the audience was wonderful: lots of friendly people (big thank you to that nice chap from Clapham who gave away that nice space!).
As cloudguitar’s already put it: "Bliss Sheer Bliss". yeah he seemed in a real jokey upbeat good mood, making all those faces from under that hat | |

The coolest AFTERSHOW - so far... [Cool]
The Moment Prince entered the stage dressed in the supercool red outfit with a hat that reminded you about pictures taken from the late Purple Rain era was simply the coolest moment ever in my aftershow experience. And starting the show by playing keyboard doing Superstitious was just amazing to see and experience. "If the toilet seat is up - put it down" [Biggrin] Cool moment number two: Satisfied with the incredible lyrics about man - women relationships made the place crack up in laughter. Hilarious! I was so surprised when I heard the first sentence.... This guy has a lot of humour. As the Twins once said , he could have been a brilliant comedian if he ever wanted to change career.
Cool moment number three: Prince laying down in the sofa at the stage with his guitar , playing some air guitar while the band continiued jamming. Cool moment number four: Prince humourously and kindly asking the band to leave the stage.. and than asking Mr Maceo Parker to enter the stage for some serious Saxophone playing.. Cool moment number five: "Freaks on this side" and two other choruses running at the same time... at the end of the show Also, Shelby did two or three amazing songs and Marva also did one covers. C.C. Dunham? aka Cora Yesterday she looked supercool in her sunglasses while playing the base drum at an incredible high tempo during her solo. Renato: An amazing solo.. once again... PHOTOS: It's is just to bad photos are not allowed as Prince and the band changes outfits at every show and several times during each show. I personally think Prince's current fashion sense is the best I have ever seen. These costumes etc should definitely be documented, ideally professionally as a 21 nights in London book or something. Similar to what was done after the LoveSexy tour. Or if they could show more pictures from the shows at 3121.com... Also nice to meet and talk to so many nice and friendly people at the aftershow including the band. Thanks for an amazing night! C U next time -----
