Is it just me or is anyone else looking forward to the show on the 21st with a tinge of sadness? This could, and I suspect will, signal the last time Prince plays live in the uk - certainly a show of the scale we r used to. I can't wait for the show for all the reasons we know but there is a sense of finality about the show aswell. Thanks to a couple of org members (you know who you are and I'm eternally grateful) I'm lucky enough to be going to both the show and the aftershow and after 20+ years of following Prince both on record and Live I have a chance of getting closer than I've ever been and it almost seems apt that this will happen at (potentially) the last show he will play here. Going to a Prince Concert has always got me 'high' for weeks in advance and has usually resulted in hitting a 'low' for a while after but with this show there's an element of being 'low' beforehand mixed with an amazing high. I was wondering.....Is it just me ????

i know what you mean having the high of him being in london for so long with so many shows i am kinda sad its coming to an end even though i am still looking forward to the next show i go to after it i realise its one less to the end weird feeling lol

Doctorfunk said:

Nope your not alone, Im still trying to get mainshow tickets too to add to the mixed feelings lol

Doctorfunk said:

Hey there! No, it's not just you. I was thinking exactly the same thing about an hour ago myself actually. Being at the aftershow gazing up adoringly at Prince and then him coming out with something like how much he's enjoyed playing 21 nights in London and he'll miss us all, but he's never coming back. Just thinking about it makes my eyes fill up.

You are so not alone.....

I will be crying on the 21st for sure

Well Hello!
Not just me then! Every time I get that 'oh my god I'm gonna see Prince Live' feeling I then get the 'for the last time' feeling

Doctorfunk said:

Try to think positively. At least you'll be there to give him a great send-off and be able to say goodbye in your own way. It'll be a great night. Don't let the fact that it might be the last time spoil that. And if you cry, so what. You won't be the only bloke crying I bet.

Samaritans anybody?!

I'm really excited about the 21st but at the same time I just know I'm going to be sad it's all over.

I've really enjoyed the shows I've seen on this tour. He's been nothing short of amazing.

There's going to be a bit fat empty hole, that's for sure. I was thinking earlier this evening - I can't remember the last time I watched tele. All of my spare time is spent chatting on here or looking for tickets on Ticketmaster!

Don't worry, we've got Justin Timberlake to replace him

Oh God, I just threw up a little bit in my mouth.

I really really really want to get some more main shows in now before the 21st. I can't let there just be one more to go

-----> this is the direction to the next clinic, PA, for us lunatics, getting on that plane today was one of the hardest things i have ever done, but if all goes well, and i totally lose my sanity, i will be back within reach of the Dome by tuesday next week, on the 22nd, even my bank manager will be crying

I'm sure that by the time the 21st is over I'll be needing a Prince break!! But I'm also sure by the time the 1st October comes around I'll be gagging to see him again.

DoMeBaby69 said:

As much as there will be a tinge of sadness there's nothing that could spoil the night....Maybe the next day...but not the night itself. Losing a limb wouldn't stop me enjoying the event itself.

Be grateful you are able to see his last show Me? bitter? Nevah LOL

well, if i cant get tickets, i will be at the inc brassaire that night, the vibe will probably be better than the show itself, opps, just tryin to fool myself,

shut up, already, DAMN

Im not seeing last show either..not jealous! But its weird..Ive always felt that Im a bit strange..for 20 years..every Prince concert..the build up..the high of the concert then the low feeling for days. even as Ive got older/married/kids etc.thought it was just me!!but its even worse now.. 21 nights!!!
Have thought tho Am I going to be in my 50s or whatever before see him again?! Sitll feel the same as my 20 something self when he came out in Wembley arena on his white thunderbird 1988!!
We just have to enjoy evey single minute!!

I am sad as the little man of great music O(+>has made my family enjoy our time together. we have been to 4 shows together. and also hubby and i on our own :omg:thats a first for us since having the youngest(9 yrs).... we are still hopeing to get a few more in :headbang:before we have to say goodbye Thats if tm get there act sorted

"and all GOOD THINGS, they say, never last...."

(But james brown & maceo (yeah, look at Maceo) are the blue print for this dude. He'll be back, even if its scaled down. Thats fine with me, I love it OneNiteAlone style!

yeah, it is wierd, i have been acting and feeling like a teen for almost 2 months now

lets hope that if he does come back to london tm will not be the main ticket agent

Hi
I am going on the 9th for the last time and will be crying for sure! Didn't manage to get tickets for the 21st, but if i did, I think I would of been even more of a mess at the end of the show. Why don't we on the 22nd all have what I call 'Prince nights' at home. Get all your Dvd's/videos/records and CD's and dedicate the whole evening to Prince. The lovesexy video does it for me everytime. It brings back so many great memories.

Just (cheekily) tried with ticketmaster to move two row a upper tier tickets to good lower tier ones on the 21st. Pleaded that I purchased the tickets before the warning about heights was issued.

Was told that this switch was no longer possible (nor would it be nearer the date) as there are no tickets left at all for the lower tier. Was told that my only choice now was not to go. I think we will manage to get by.

I'm more worried he'll to a short main set and a no show at 3121!

In a way, they would be funny!

I really can't wait 2 c Prince 4 the 1st time. I know it will b amazin'. Hope he brings over the Twinz 4 the last per4mance.

to celebrate the 21 nights i throught it would be a great idea to meet in the chatroom and talk about what it was like
