There was a group of people sitting BK 103 Row K Seats between 97 and 101. I was sitting two rows behind them. I thought they were all real prince fans, because they were dancing and having fun too. But all of a sudden one of the guys threw the glowstick at Prince and when it hit Prince, he wasn't even shocked that this happened, he was jumping around with his arms in the air, because this was exactly what he wanted to achieve. I was absolutely speechless, and to be honest, I was hoping someone grab this guy and stick him a glowstick in his a... Unfortunately I'm not the right person for those kind of things and in the end it wouldn't have changed anything. Just like prince said in resolution: "The main problem with war is that nobody ever wins...".

Except that is not really true.

saw that glow stick hit Prince, was shocked and angry that someone could do that. Another glow stick was thrown and hit Prince at the end when he had finished the concert when he was going down the lift at the end of Girls & Boys. Thanks 4 the information, lets just hope they R not part of Prince.org

If u had shoved the glow stick up his a***, then depending on the size of the glowstick you could have given him a pleasant surprise or painful retribution on P's behalf

I was in block 103 row M and the glow stick that hit Prince came from well behind me.

Belive me, there is absolutely no doubt about it. It was not only me that saw him doin' this. But maybe it looked to you like it came from behind, because he threw the stick pretty high. You probably saw the stick, when it was higher than Your level. We saw the hole thing going on, from the moment he started to aim until the stick reached Prince's back! 100%

We were in block 103 Row N 94-95. To be honest didn't see the guy who threw the glowstick as I had my eyes firmly on Prince's amazing synth set. If I had seen him do it I'm pretty sure he'd have missed the rest of the show, and his memries of the next fortnight! Bastard. I do remember a boisterous group of guys who were high-fiving during the break (one had a red short on I think). IF it was them - ggggrrrrr.

I was in Block 102 and it definately came from the direction of 103

I was in 103 Row N 90-91 didn't see it till it hit! to be honest even if I was the weakest of people I would of done something about it even if only to let security have them kicked out or organise a lynch mob hang the bastards from the upper tiers with the rest of the wankers that started all the glow stick throwing

What a great shot!

It came from the upper nosebleeds the one that hit him i was in block 103 back row Y and it came from behind me!!

Are you giving the cunt praise? If you are you don't belong here.

What were these glowsticks made of? Metal?

I was in blk 103 row S. And that glowstick definitely came from the same block, row K seems about right. Can't believe people were actually chucking these glowsticks. Complete d!ckheads. They could have taken someones eye out, and I'm surprised an announcment wasn't made to get people to stop.

Plastic. Everyone's going on about them too much IMO. It was unfortunate and it lasted for about 5 mins total. Prince was not hit. It didn't damage the gig nor the experience as a whole, despite the wankerish behaviour from the few who threw them.

LizSK2 said:

Where we sat the glowstick throwing started probably half way thru,but got really bad after P left the stage for the first time.

LizSK2 said:

Yes and lets be honest, its nothing compared to having a full pint of beer hit you, whilst singing, is it?

There was some knobish behaviour at the gig on the 7th August I went to as there is at most gigs. If Prince had been affected by it that much, he would have done a Liam Gallagher.

Thankyou for clarifying Liz.

Yes i was there and saw that,i was shocked too,i had a idiot sat infront of us that was drunk and was singing to my friend all night i think he looked at prince twice and he throw a glow stick,i told him off he he,brits act so stupid im glad im only half.

LizSK2 said:

Eventhough they were 'only' made of plastic they can make quite some damage if they hit you right, especially when coming from that distance. I can sort of see the fun of throwing them in the moment, but when thinking it through it's a pretty stupid thing to do putting other people in the risk of getting hit. And I must say, when he left the stage and people started throwing the glowsticks like mad I seriously feared he wouldn't come back out. He did however, and thanks for that - what a fantastic(k) concert!!!!

motr said:

Some idiot lobbed a whole pint at him at one of the aftershows I was at. Luckily Prince had his back turned at the time and it cup ended up bouncing on the stage towards Cora and some stage hand came on and had to dry the stage shortly after.

If Sky hadn't nicked the glowsticks idea from Glynn of The Org then only nice Orgers would have held the sticks and this shameful eppie would not have happened...It sickened me! x

I've already said my piece about this!

I didn't know that. I have seen it a few times at various gigs I have been to.

I also remember it happening to Dave Gahan (Depeche Mode), some Yank did it at a Californian gig.

Unfortunately though, as much as some might think it is, stupid behaviour is not exclusive to the UK.

The worst scenario I ever witnessed was in 1990, again at a Depeche gig but in Paris. The support band had everything thrown at them, piss, shit, coins.....all thrown with venom.

I go 2 a lot of festivals, and one friend of mine gets glowsticks for free true the army.
Tradition is comming back on the camping site you have a glowstick fight.
I a lovely sight 100 glowsticks going back and forward.
Believe me did not feel a thing.
The sticks are made so.

Peace

LizSK2 said:

Don't know what sort of view you had but I was sat right behind him when he was doing his set on the synth that glow stick hit him square in the back, no matter how long it lasted it shouldn't of happened, and compared to other nights that set was def cut short by the wanker that threw it.

Trouble with this country is that it's full of harmless irony! This is just the reason I've stayed away from joining this site for so long too many morons that claim to be fans full of irony.

Whether Prince felt it or not is beside the point. You just DONT do that!! Not to someone who "supposidly" they admire,its not on
:mad2:If they really didnt want to be there,they should have given their ticket to someone else who REALLY wanted to be there
