Yeah was a great party in B1 last night. The girls rocked along too

Seats were excellent view. Right up there amongst best seats just behind A2.

Nooooo I can just hear it now. I'd rather he binned it off than subject us to this:

I knew a girl named Nikki
I guess you could say she was a God fiend
I met her in a hotel lobby
reading her watchtower magazine
she said how'd u like 2 come and play
And I could not resist
when I saw little Nikki pray.

I'm still grinning from just hearing the intro, I think I would have joined you in death if he'd played it!


last night was amazing, can't wait for the 21st

On that website that Prince is always taking down his videos ( you know the one)
There is a video on there added today just called 'Prince Gig' . Is that from the encore last night?? .Looks lke its filmed in A2, got goosebumps watching it!!

Is it the clip where he's on the sampler, wearing yellow trousers and black 3121 top? That's what I found anyway and that ones from the 12th.

TheEnglishGent said:

Yes thats the one !, looks a trip!

TheEnglishGent said:

Wow... we were just to the right of that clip... I saw the back of my head and heard my singing - I feel so sorry for everyone who heard that!!!

It's cool seeing that again!

Good for you love! I'm just the same, dont be bashful, You do your thang!

I don't know what I can add to all of this. To summarise, I thought that until the encore it was a good show but not a great show by Prince's standards (even though there were a few transcendent moments, like 'SHHH and the high notes he hit in the Purple Rain outro solo).

But then Things got really intersting with the first encore and Dame Elton's cameo. From where I was seated (up in the Gods) he sounded in fine shape, and I can forgive his alleged peeking at the lyric sheet.A very pleasant surprise, though perhaps we should have seen it coming when Renato and Mr Hayes dropped a bit of 'Your Song' into 'Wonderful World'.

I think that with his performances of 'Nothing Compares 2u', Prince can safely recliam that song as his own. Everyone in the arena, including the great man himself, was floored.

After his 'I love you too' kiss off at the end of 'Raspberry Beret', he dissapeared down the hatch and out of our lives. Or so I thought. I left my seat (Block 416), went for a tinkle, and headed down the stairs and towards a long tube ride home. And then as I was passing one of the entrances to the floor, I saw a trickle of people rushing back in. I strolled up to the door for a closer look, (whilst wondering why none of the crowd were following me), and ... mother of god!.. they've only gone and done another encore. So I ruxshed past the security guys before they changed their mind about letting eople on to the floor without showing thier tickets, and got myself into the third row, stage right. Not a bad result. Being so close was alost like a dream, so i cn't remeber much about the encore. Other than thinking to myself that Prince has nice arms. Needless to say, I went home a very happy man.

Anyone else think that yesterday's 'surprises' could have staged with the intention of being included on a DVD?

I was impressed by his lovely arms too

Hi all, new to the org so had to wait a few days before I could rely to this thread. I am still on a high. We were in block 116 row E, anyone in that area?

just bumpin this so I can read it and remember being there....so amazin!
