ive had this on repeat all day..
The keys were on point, vocals were straight from the heart and the audience echoing out the Chorus and last bar of the first verse was magnifying..I wish Prince played the full version on piano...Grrrrr!

btw im referring to the 21st show.

it is incredible...that, forever in my life, and joy in repetition were my 3 main show highlights

he played more/sung more of iwd4u on the 16th, but i've not seen any boots about of that, still not quite the whole song though!

cloudguitar said:

i was also at the sunday the 16th show..and when IWD4U came on...i broke down in james brown mode!! great night!

great, great shows, 16th in particular, mainshow was very hot, but the aftershow was surreal, but i have an extreme difficulty explaining why, but i have to agree, there is joy in repetition

Where oh where can I hear this and share your opinion? Answers on an orgnotepostcard

I'm 17. It was a drink of water. And simply because Id kicked my bottle over from dancing and enjoying myself too much I had to go get another one

Some of you are so defensive on here. Lord

Whitnail said:

i'd be interested to hear you try to explain why you found it surreal...i can possibly relate, i thought he was unusually frank in the talky singing bits...how often do you hear him talk about his mother? or being normal like us?

was strange for me as before the show my girlfriend asked me if i'd want to look like prince - i replied that i wasn't even sure that prince wants to look like prince and quoted 'this is for why i wasn't born like my brother;handsome and tall'

then when were watching the aftershow he starts talking about hanging round with the tall cute guys so he could pull the lasses they didn't want!!!!

crackers!

mann i heard it! i wishhhhh i was there.. thats one of my favourite songs and it sounded amazing

I heard it on 16th and 21st. It was one of my favourite bits...

cloudguitar said:

I concur..A heartfelt moment!!

purplewisdom said:

i have heard many shows (after) from prince, but seen few live, this yr i got lucky, but i missed the 28th, an amazing show, up there with 1988 dutch aftershow.....BUT the 16th (to put things in perspective I also saw the 24th, 1st, and 21st), i was there, this prince has rarely been seen live, and musically the show is on a par with the 28th and I have taken alot of abuse about making such comments, but it is the truth.

The night i arrived back from the 16th, i said the show will be a legend show, i have not changed my opinion

Forgot to mention, the show was extra special coz it showed the human side of Prince, not coz of the jokes but simply remember who was there that night.....

i'm not following Withnail, what do you mean by 'simply remember who was there that night'?

i have a feeling i missed something!

i was stood by enrique iglesius outside the toilets while waiting for my lass, but i'm sure you don't mean him!....the twins were in the audience at the afty too

I knocked my water over too, the first two gigs freaking out like a mentalist! lol, just in case he's at the O2 next time, get your water at the shop at the tube station and put the lid in your pocket before you go in , saved me some wet feet on following nights !!

Just to letting the folks know, i dont have the concert!!!

cloudguitar said:

dont 'us' us in the normal category you speak for youself, i am far from normal.

patrickBateman said:

hehe, i was pretty much paraphrasing Prince!

though he said you, not us

'I used to be normal, just like U,
But now i can't even go out no more,
every one wants 2 take a photo,
like i'm some kind of animal in the zoo'

something like that, and there were a few verses

is anyone 'normal'?



He did also say that his mum used to send him to the supermarket to buy cigarettes and tampons...i certainly didn't think this was 'normal like me'...but i told my dad about it, and he said my gran used to make him go buy cigarettes and tampons for her too when he was a kid...so maybe it's me that isn't normal!

does anyone have a longer piano solo of IWD4U?? From another concert/gig??
