Glad there are others with post show blues. I wanna be there now so bad I gotta calm down. I pray that this is not the last time he comes here though if he does shows in the States i'll have to find a way to go. I know it's selfish but I just want more and more. I am grateful that he comes and gives us nearly two hours of enjoyment when other artists have done less than an hour but I just cant get enough. I been playing Prince all day, even blew the dust of my Exodus CD and laughed at Prince doing the mashed potato girl segue though I must have heard it a thousand times before then I made the mistake of playing Pop Life got all nostalgic and misty eyed, made me feel good but worse in a nonsensical (sp?) way. I'm gonna pop on my Sign O the Times DVD a lil later it's staring at me kinda forcing me to submit. Do other artists have this effect on people? Is this normal???

Yeah I think it is normal, but then I would think that. Friends have always told me that I am 'obsessed'. (In fact there is an old school friend on here who will testify to that fact. She even wrote it in my school leaving book Obsessed with what? Well no one specific thing. If I like something then I reeeeally like it and go on and on about it apparently.)

I get like this about U2 tours. I just can't stop going to shows. Manchester then London twice. Couldn't handle not going again so did a sickie and went to Dublin. Then went to Barcelona to see them. Then still couldn't give in so spent all our money on a trip to see the final show in Hawaii. Show got cancelled. Couldn't get any of my money back. 18 months on I have just about finished paying for it.

What's life if not for living. I admire you for going for it.

I know what you mean... U2 shows are like a spiritual thing... i think they are the best band in the world live at the current time. Cant wait for them to come round again and get back into the inner ring.

Queen and PR are gonna tour early 2008 and they are right up there too.

The thing i love about prince though is every show is different. Why dont other bands prepare 50 tracks and mix each show up like P does. It makes for such an interesting and insprirational tour.

o2review said:

Yeah me too. Better get saving some money first lol. I was in the inner thingy 4 times last tour but Barcelona was just crazy. They line up for 3 days to get to the front. Even I am not obsessed enough to spend my whole holiday in the queue for a u2 show


Starting the show a different way each night is great I think. Last night I got to hear quite a few songs that he didn't play on the 18th.

I've always said I don't like concerts, and that Prince is the only person I would like to see live. i must have said it 20 times in the past years and now it's come true. No one else would compare now. I didn't expect to see him quite so up close and personal though !

hello wlcm2thdwn

ring in sick

DoMeBaby just called and says tonight is the BEST Prince show she has ever been to!!!!!
Sounds like there is definitely an aftershow as he said he didn't want to stop and to go to 3121 after the show!!!!!

God am I jealous!

anymore information on tonights show ? He seems to be getting better and better.

Jxx said:

Played Love Bizarre, not been expecting that to come up in a main show but would love to see it live. Also did first verse of SOTT.
Started with 1999, did usual Cream, Let's Go Crazy, Kiss and Purple Rain.

Have no other news I'm afraid.

thanks for the update. are you going to another gig ?

Well at least that's some news. Interesting news about the aftershow and I could still easily make it there by 12:30. Not going to though, bit of a risk that all the tickets might have been sold now.

Still, the break will do me good.

I'm gald I'm not the only one. Would talk more but busting for the loo !

yeah i could make the aftershow and suspect there will be tickets but feel like i need a bit of a break. Friday was a bit of a downer compared to the tuesday show which was awesome and 2 weeks prior on the wednesday which was a spiritual experience. Was an ok show on friday but when crowd arent digging it and the set list is a bit disjoinnted its never gonna be up there. You take out of it the positives such as the full "when it snows" and "shhh" guitar solo. Im so lucky i can see 10+ shows out of the 21 to be able to have the perspective on which ones are absolutely amazing and which ones fall short at just great. All i need to really finish it off is him to play Jonny be good at a main show im there for... i love that track from back to the future and cant imagine how fucking amazing it would be with P doing it.

Just hoping that TM deliver my fav seats in A2/A3 for the coming shows at last minute.

7 days to go till my next concert and my first aftershow!!!!! I quite literally cannot wait any longer. The last 2 weeks have felt longer than the 5 years I've spent waiting for him to come back!

Sorry it's not a great update but had to share what I could.

I've got 4 days to go, and can't wait. I couldn't handle an aftershow, there'd be tears if he didn't show. I'd probably rush the stage and get chucked out. Good luck

Jxx said:

have to say i am in agreement in the effort required to score a direct hit with the aftershow. at least with the main show you are gonna get 90 mins of the man and with the last minute tickets im always in the best spots to see the purple one. Wish i was there for aftershow on tuesday though as johnny be good sounds awesome...

goodnight everyone

Jxx said:

Aftershow is an added bonus, if he doesn't show then he doesn't show. I can't sleep after a show anyway so why not carry on surrounded by Prince fams and get to watch NPG.

Talking about it just gets me far too ever excited, so far I've been counting days before long I'll be counting hours!!

Well I've just finished watching UTCM now I need a really big hug....
those eyes.... and that body.... and he still looks great now....

Do they make men like that any more?

Just read about the aftershow so far tonight and all I can say is... Grrrrr!

Oh well.

Thanks everyone

Very down I'm hugging you from afar...

I just read your profile, and it says you're twisted sexually, so I'm hoping that's not a naughty hug you're giving me.

Not after last night I'm afraid... then again

lol
