Great concert at O2, but ...

Hi there Orgers!

First of all eye have 2 say that the mans gigs at the O2 were a rave unto the joy fantastic! However, "Too many hits, too little time"? Gentlemen, lets broaden our minds, if he had too many hits and too little time why on planet earth did he do so many cover tunes? Le Freak C'est Chic, Whole Lotta Love, Nothing Compares to You, Come Together, Best of You?

What d'all y'all think?

I think it was an attempt to reach out to people who don't know his stuff and make sure there was at least one song they liked in the set. And it's also a way for Prince to keep it interesting for himself rather than just playing his own stuff all the time. The horn covers were a way for him to show some love to the horns and to get a bit of a break downstairs without anyone moaning that he wasn't even playing on one of his own songs.

Move onto when? In ten years when he comes back to europe, or should I say the UK? Come on, its a bit lazy to do 21 nights in one town - not to mention unfair to the people that came from miles over europe to see him.

No lyrics on the album to save paper or make up for the 3 million tonnes of Carbon Dioxide pumped into the atmosphere by half a million moving souls?

Yeah, I read in an interview with Prince that, when he wrote it, he wanted to " blow people's minds".

I know from a very reliable source that Prince has in fact composed every single piece of music ever performed by man. Another little known fact, confirmed to me by sources close to Prince, is that when he farts, it smells like luxury French perfume. In fact, the 3121 perfume was derived from Prince's farts. And did you ever wonder what the sun shines out of? You got it.

I think "Nothing Compares 2 U" is not a cover



Interesting - he wrote it but, given that The Family perfomred it first, is it in fact a cover?

I completely agree.
Although I thought the covers were awesome, I would have preferred more of his own stuff. If he didn't want to do more hits, he could have done more aftershow style jams, or more album or rarer tracks. Replacing the covers, I would have personally loved to have had some of these to name a few instead:

Computer Blue
Temptation
Housequake
AnnaStesia
Lovesexy
The Question Of U
Willing & Able
Damn U
I Wanna Melt Wiy U
Endorphinemachine
Sleep Around
The Work (as an intro or extension to Musicology)
1+1+1 is 3
Everlasting Now
Love
The Word/The Dance
The One U Wanna C
