Next 21 nights "tour" idea

Wouldn't it be great if Prince's next "21 nights" type tour followed this format (preferably this time in Paris - for me).

He has too many albums to count, but all the long term fans love a lot of the hidden stuff on albums that may not be well known to the general public.

How about he does a series of concerts with themes. e.g. 1 concert with first 3 albums, then next night 1999 - Purple rain era, followed by Paisley Park to Parade, SOTT to lovesexy/Graf Bridge. Next up a night of the Awsome NPG era from D&p, o+> , and then the NPG sound of the early 90's New Power soul etc...., rainbow ch... He could play a small intimate venue and fill it everynight. Kind of like an Aftershow "+".....

As for the best part, you can buy a season ticket and get the lot...If he agrees to do this in Paris, I'll give free accomodation to the first 3 fams in favour of my motion.

Peace & B Wild.....

Why do I keep hitting myself with a hammer? Because it feels so good when I stop.

Good idea. A few problems though:-

1. Prince choses songs that suit his current band. I'm not sure there would be much to play on a Dirty Mind theme night! Plus he gets bored very easily so I can see why he likes to mix it up a lot.

2. Staying in one place is good for Prince. For a man who has traveled the world many times, he has probably seen very little of it. I hope he has enjoyed seeing more of London and the surrounding area this visit. You could say the same for Rome, Madrid or Paris. But I live in Sheffield. Last night I made a round trip of over 600km - getting back after the aftershow at 6:30am, then going to work. Having made the trip three other times, I am sick of the M1 motorway and even though I really want to go again, I can't stand the thought of driving down there again. I feel really sorry for fans in Scotland and Ireland. It is probably easier for you to come to London than it is for them.

3. The 21 nights in London was another break-through idea from Prince but I reckon he's gonna get as bored with this routine as he has with other tours. One thing the London gigs have proved is that he cannot please everyone. Even the hardcore fans all seem to want different things!

A season ticket would have been a great idea for the London shows!
