like somebody else stated: it's cheaper to stay in the indigo then te go to a hotel. (and since i revisited London 2 weeks ago while i also attended a gig in the O2 (guess who?) this was a good solution. really glad i decided to go again and take my sister.

damn damn damn my youngness! If i was a year older i coulda got in a partied like it was 1999! (really sorry about the piss poor joke there)

This sounded an amazing aftershow. Especially the ending songs being 3121, bass solo and Chelsea Rogers. Wish i was there

When he said that - I screamed so loud that I think I deafened the people around me.

I've slept (somehow) ... but I'm still high as a kite ! .. I keep remembering things.

I've another 3 concerts and aftershows including final night - but in all honesty - after last night's aftershow I can't be disappointed now when I think back to this summer. Not that I was anyway .. you know what I mean.

It was insane - just insane.

I remember thinking that all the people that said to me they don't 'get' prince - that i wished they could see this, to understand. (Though I'm glad they weren't in the crowd 'cos it was hardcore FER-REEAKS only last night !)

Chelsea Rogers was insanely good, tbh. It was so long overdue, I think we had wanted it so bad for such a long time, that the place erupted and everyone was shouting their head off along with it (can't really be called singing anymore, I think). But he was ripping it up, dancing next to Shelby who was giving it her all. Right at the front (often when she sings he goes more to the back or side), he was loving it, doing a really rocky, funky version together with her. Hard to describe. He was going at it like there was no tomorrow. I guess there isn't.

LiveToLove said:

it is still the 6th sept right?

remko said:

That's right!

you know, I was genuinely surprised when they gave me a ticket on the boat ride home (thanks for recommending Slaphead, very cool ride!), and it said Sept 7! I was like 'Aye?? Surely not'.

boomboomboom said:

yeah I know you want them to see how good it is but dont wanna be around them stood looking glum with arms crossed if they don't 'feel it' It was soooo good last night I wanna scream!

He was smiling so much last night too, love the cheeky looks he gives with those eyes!

I love his guitar faces - they make me get butterflies and want to scream - which I did A LOT last night.

boomboomboom said:

So did I! but hey he likes that makes him stick around!

Only one down point as this whole show was amazing..... Fuck it this whole London run so far has been amazing.

Did anybody see the idiot that threw there pint onstage during Anotherloverholenyohead. I landed just to the right of Prince from where I was standing I can't belive somebody did that.

Yeah, i saw that ... I was like - PLEASE don't have a fit a storm off. That guy ran out damn quick with a towel to clear it up though.

Brilliant, only had 2 people in front of me, centre stage.... TOO GOOD!! My favourite tunes were The one u wanna C, Chelsea Rodgers (amazing crowd response) 3121 and the best bit was Prince playing bass guitar... Soo funky! An AMAZING night.

i thought his outfit was so cool! and when his lay down on stage!!! made me laugh. cant believe he sang so many songs from Planet Earth - all brillantly performed. Was right at the front at his mic - never seen him so close up, he looks amazing. Couldnt have asked for a better night, Shelby was on top form aswell. Prince was on stage a lot longer thatn i thought he'd be - LOVED IT!!!!

I saw a couple being ejected from the club about 4 minutes after I guess it must have been them.

So glad I went last night.Im not sure it had the same magic that the 28th had ( for me anyway!) But Prince was amazing and was in a playfull mood.I loved it when he was shaking his tush when playing guitar!! Who was the guy in the hat dancing with Shelby?! he was too cool for school! brilliant crowd too..I definately love going in the week.

chopingard said:

I saw that and very shortly afterwards they got escorted out by three bouncers, so justice was served.

Last nights aftershow was brilliant and I couldn't believe that my 100% record of seeing Prince at the aftershows continued. I'm now 4 for 4!!

I was there in a group of 7 orgers but split off with Jxx as she wanted to be nearer the front. We ended up to one side of the stage but close enough that we could reach out and touch it. For the most part it was also very comfortable, with space to dance and nobody pushing. It got a bit pushy towards the end, especially with one guy who was about 6'4". I have no idea why he felt such a need to push as far as he could in to the couple of foot that there was left to the stage, he couldn't have had any problems seeing. But feel the need he did and for a couple of tracks I ended up with my shoulder wedged in his armpit, which wasn't the greatest experience I've ever had! The things we have to endure to see our man up close eh?

The first half hour was ok, with Shelby taking lead vocals. She has an amazing voice and I did enjoy it but I'm not really there to hear someone else sing, I want Prince! At least he was onstage the whole time playing his guitar, so all was not lost. After Shelby's set there was a couple of minute break, then Renato started playing the start of Planet Earth, which kicked off just over an hour of Prince. At the end of Planet Earth, I turned to Jxx and suggested that it would be amazing were he to play the entire album. Then he went into guitar, Somewhere Here On Earth, The One U Wanna C and I thought that the wish was about to come true but after that he went into Dirty Mind. I asn't too bothered though as The One U Wanna C was the track I really wanted to hear live, so if nothing else I'd got more than my monies worth right there. Was great to hear Chelsea Rodgers live, it's actually my least favourite track on PE but I can appreciate it's funkiness.

The rest of the set was amazing and it was a fantastic show. Out of the four I've seen, I'd rate this one 3rd but only by a small margin. For me, nothing will ever top the 28th, with the 3 piece band rocking us into places we never knew existed. I had always said that my dream Prince show would be a stripped down band playing rock, so I think that will forever be my number 1 show. The 2nd best was the 18th but it's a very close run thing with last night. Prince sang pretty much the whole time on the 18th and the feathery hat was always going to give the show a couple of extra points. As a complete night, last night topeed the 18th as the main show was fantastic last night, probably my number 1 or 2 of the 8 I've seen. The 18th was let down by the worst main show I've been to but the aftershow more than made up for it.

slaphead said:

Just imagine what our lives would be like - one long big party!! Is it like that living n Minneapolis, I wonder? That reminds me, at one point in the aftershow he said, "I will just have to take all of you with me back to Minneapolis!"

LiveToLove said:

Then he said .. 'you're all so cute .. apart from this guy' - points at this MOODY industry fuck in the balcony who'd been sat down the whole time looking bored - i was over to the left as you look at the stage and had seen him up there.

chopingard said:

There were around 5 ejected and his mates must have been thinking "why should I be leaving this amazing aftershow". How can you throw a pint of drink at Prince? Imagine if he would have stopped the show if it would have hit him??

blacksweat said:

I don't think the person who threw the drink would have got out of the place alive if that had happened!

chopingard said:

Oh that is what that was?! I didn't see the idiot or the pint, but got wet by it! Was down near the front with some guys I met in the aftershow queue (much love to both for letting me tag along and "find a good spot" with them) and got wet and confused by some random flying liquid. Guess we were looking for the a-hole who threw it rather than what it actually was.

TheEnglishGent said:

Me too! 4 for 4! I have now gotten even more superstitious about my "lucky purple shirt", since a friend who came with me on the 14th commented that as I had the same shirt on as the 1st, Prince would surely play the aftershow again.. it has now worked all four times!

TheEnglishGent said:

Sounds like you weren't too far from where I was, though I would have needed some arm extensions to have actually touched the stage! If you noticed a guy bouncing up and down zebedee-style to the first chunk of Chelsea Rodgers a couple of meteres back from the stage-right monitor, that may have been me.


What a great aftershow! I too wondered if he would give us the entire Planet Earth Album, but that would have maybe been too much, lol.

When they came back on at the end though, and Shelby said "R U ready 2 get crazy!!" or whatever, I just KNEW that they were gonna give us Chelsea Rodgers.. it just seemed to be the right time. Incredible to have been there for that!

Agree that this was a good show - broke my jinx and got first appearnace in 4 a'shows. Was hyped to see Chris Morris attending the show as well - another hero of mine. Anyone else spot him? Also, at one point I thought I saw Richard Hammond dancing in front of me - anyone else confirm he was there?

There were some drunks there last night, they all seemed to be around me! There was one particularly annoying person who seemed to be attending with his son, and was around 50-ish, but who kept waltzing in and out of the crowd ferrying beer to his son on a regular basis. He got steadily more drunk and at one point tossed an empty beer glass over his head in a Trainspotter way and hit some poor guy near the front. Then carried on dancing as if butter wouldn't melt. The crazy thing was he was suited and booted and grey haired and should have known better. I guess he enjoyed himself...

I drove up from Bristol especially for the a'show as I had to work until 8.00, and I'm glad he didn't disappoint. Now, fngers crossed for Sunday...

I'm becoming some kind of lucky charm here - three aftershows - three amazing performances.

Last night was again so different to anything else I've seen - the Shelby showcase followed by what I think we all began to think was a full run through of Planet Earth.

He's a pesky little rascal though - announcing 'The One U Wanna C' as "time for the singalong"... yes dude, we do wanna hear you sing it goddammit! LOL.

Make sure you're there on the 12th and 21st in that case!
