Um, it was not over anywhere near "soon" after that.

It all finished near to.. something like 4:20 or so?

ThePartyman said:

Yeah...you missed a fair bit after that!! I was afraid to leave in case I missed something myself!

Hey Partyman, hows you? Was it your good self who went into the main arena with me, Maureen and Dan, and who saw me in the aftershow to say that Dan managed to get an aftershow ticket for £100?? (you'll have to excuse me, I'm struggling to remember everyone's Org names!!!!)

DaveT said:

It sure was!

I would have stayed down on the floor by you guys at the Aftershow (those purple ballons were great!) but it was way too hot for me down there so I retreated back to behind the rail... no regrets as I had a great view of the stage, plenty of room to dance, and found some great company to dance and clap the night away with.

I am sucking at the org names too, though I think mostly because I was a bit rubbish at remembering to ask people who they were!

ThePartyman said:

Heeeeyyy!!! Great to here from you, I guessed it was you from the pic there being the same as the cool t-shirt you had on that night. In hindsight, I should have taken a pen and note-pad with me to take down everyones names!! Did Dan have a good time? I swear, one of the best moments of the aftershow was when you told me he had got hold of a ticket and then he appeared with the biggest grin on his face. I got involved with the whole balloon blowing up thing...some crazy fans in front of me had a whole bag of them there; was a nice touch.

Spent the whole aftershow with another Orger I met there, Wilso, and his mates....was an unforgettable show!!!

DaveT said:

Yeah that is something of a big clue.

DaveT said:

I lost track of Dan not long after I brought him over to you guys on the floor, but I think I saw him briefly after the show ended with some gleeful expressions on his face... though I may have dreamed that. In fact quite a bit of that night had a certain dreamlike quality to it... Prince just led us through a magical adventure that night (sounds a bit cheesy, but so totally true, no?).

I swear I thought i actually was dreaming when he made love to that guitar during The Question Of U... and I had to actually pinch myself during Partyman! That was unforgettable!

DaveT said:

If only the idiotic projectile-weapon asshats had been given Purple Ballons instead of glowsticks at the main show, eh?

Truly an unforgettable night!

hi there...funky london!great having a little boogie with you,told you it was going to be Partyman,your face was a picture.hope you recovered already..

ThePartyman said:

I totally agree...the whole aftershow was like a dream. And you could tell that Prince really wanted to be there as much as we wanted him to, that's what made it so special. He could have finished at 3:00, or 3;30, but he wanted to play on which meant that he was having as much fun as us. I've never been to a gig where there was as much love on the stage for the crowd as there was the crowd for the performers!!

Hi there yourself! Was great to meet you.

You totally did tell me. Oh me of little faith!

Not really recovered yet.. everything is still a purple haze...

what a beautiful night – what a fabulous 2 months 21 nights they were !!!
Just been trying to collect my thoughts 2 relay now that I have recovered from Friday night, but its hard without a tear in my eye when I think its all over! Of all the shows & many aftershows I was lucky enough 2 attend, 2 pick just 1 is hard as they were all fantastic, the main man Prince of course, Dr John, Duke, Vonnie not 2 mention Nikki Costa, Beverley Knight, Amy Winehouse & of course the fab NPG all for £25 a time – now tell me who can getyacha high like that ??? .
4 me the meeting at the fence on the last night was a dream come true, 2 finally B able 2 say thank U in person was a privilege I thought I would never get. I got quite close at the aftershow in Vegas the w/e after superbowl, never thought I would get closer than that – that was also a beautiful night & then again on the 13th he came up 2 the fence (in his car & wound down his window & smiled & waved 2 us all) but on the final night – well what can I say if U were there U know how wonderful it was.
Every concert & aftershow I attended was better than the last even when I thought it just wasn’t possible 2 get any better, he did. He just blew the roof offa that place, & what a joy 2 B able 2 share the experience with lots of my friends who also love prince just like he loves us !!
No 1 can play guitar quite like Prince, no 1 can make such a joyous noise & bring a tear 2 so many eyes – London is losing a most welcome guest, I am only sorry that some drunken demented yob had 2 go & ruin what was a spectacular night by throwing the glowing stick – what a dick !!! he robbed many people of the chance 2 keep theirs as a souvenir - I managed2 keep mine.
There are some that think Prince is small but to me he was and always will B Huge – he is a musical giant – no 1 comes close !!! & Prince I love n thank U so much for ALL the wonderful music U have shared with me.
