thought i would start a thread where we can all collect our thoughts of last nights shows. and i would like to set the ball rolling by saying that it was a fantastic night!

when he came on after 9, i thought we were in for a tame show; i couldn't have been more wrong! this was my 4th trip, but the 1st time when i agreed that he had too many hits!

by the end of the night, i was reeling by how much material he had gone through. his set list was simply sublime, and he was in a mood i haven't seen yet this tour. don't get me wrong, he's been in good moods, but yesterday he was just in the mood for something special, and he delivered!

and the composition of the night was the best i've seen. the track arrangement meant that the atmosphere was sustained throughout, and i even found myself loving black sweat (which i've never rated highly as a live track).

and then he took the party on to 3121, and i went to my first aftershow. i had tickets to another, but he didnt turn up! however, this show was easily worth £50, so i'm more than happy to have parted with the cash. it was an amazing experience, he played some fantastic music and the crowd was more than up for it.

i left the aftershow 9 hours ago, and i'm still wearing a massive grin. i will never forget last night, it was a dream.

and to think he's playing this well now, imagine the show he's going to put on for the last night?!

i, for one, can't wait.....

Oh My Fucking God (excuse the language)

We just got home from a few hours sleep and the 200 mile drive, but we are still speachless.

The Main show was the bomb! The best of the 4 I've seen (and all those from the years b4), and it helps so much when the crowd around you are psyched and groovin all nite. Man, that Aftershow just blew me over though - the single most incredible nite of my life.

NOBODY HAS MENTIONED WHEN PRINCE CAME OUT ONTO THE BALCONY BEFORE THE AFTERSHOW AND SMILED AND WAVED AT US ALL ON THE DANCEFLOOR. SOMEBODY WHO WAS UP IN THE BALCONY MUST HAVE HAD THE FRIGHT OF THEIR LIVES. I KNEW WHEN HE DID THAT IT WOULD BE AN INCREDIBLE NIGHT!

We got 3 encores in the Aftershow too (or was it 4 - damn it was funky), and I'd like to think I was one of the few who started the chanting (ooohh wayyyy oooh whooooaaaaa ohhhhh) from the middle of the crowd (he he he). Me and my girlfriend were the annoying ones in the middle with the symbol tamborine shaking our asses off!!

Oh, and who was the person with the giant purple sparkly cut out symbol!!!???? That was so cool!

The crowd in the Indigo 2nite was incredible - such a privaledge to b there with all you guys. YOU ROCKED!!

Final word to Prince - we love you. Thanku for those memories. They will live with me 4ever!

Oh, and forgot....

will.i.am from the Black Eyed Peas (Is that his name) - took the stage in the main show and the aftershow for a short segment - SO FUNKY!

My girlfriend and I were to your left, before Prince came on, we were right next to you (I said to my girlfriend 'god, he spent a lot of money on that tambourine, but it does sound good'!). As the concert went on, we sort of drifted forward and toward the middle.

I remember a guy who was a wicked dancer, and a tall girl with blonde hair to our left - you guys or some1 else??

Hmm, holiday or Greenwich, holiday or Greenwich...know where I'd rather be...!(in the sunshine) Have a good time, bring the tambourine to the next tour!
