Controversial 5 nites alone in England/Ireland!!!

Thur- had no tix - apollo - 1 off the ticket touts for £50 - 55 rows back - 1st ever prince concert - amazin!
Fri- had no tix - apollo - 3 tix off ticket touts for £130 - 40 rows bac - got movin to 30th row - again, superb show
Sat - had gr8 tix - apollo - 26 rows back - non-members, but got our way to the 15th row via the toilets - excellent...so far! - edged our way up to 4th row by about 30mins into the show time (sorry to any non-members at this stage) - just left of stage - unbelieveable view - then p invites 10 peeps onstage and suddenly we find ourselves in the front row!!!...but not on stage!! P calls for just 10 more peeps to dance on stage. - front row centre we are now!!...but not on stage!! - p calls for just 10 more and i am, "this close" (think of something small) to getting on stage!! - but look!!...what's this?...my friend on stage (non-member) dancing (badly) with P - aaahhh! - ...and he's not as big a fam as me!! grrr! - friend gets to shake P's hand, P gives friend a cowbell (looks expensive), and P gives friend a drumstick with which to stirke aforementioned cow bell "out of time" to the tune of alphabet street live filling the apollo!!
Thur - had 3 good tix - point theatre - 50 rows back - gr8 view - gr8 setlist
Fri morning (early hours) - tix 50euro at he door - spirit niteclub - 1st non-member in the q/line - arrived at 11.00, queued until 12.00, waited ~2nd row in front of tiny stage - unbelievablable show - was 3feet away from p the whole time ~2am-3.30am played by p - my SAME friend! got to high-five prince as he left the stage!!!...bastard!
...and Prince never played purple rain once on any o those nites...bastard!!!

Hey don't feel bad, just think of all of the fans here who only get to read this report and fantasize about being there!

Hope Rotterdam gets blessed w/ an aftershow 2morrow!

And why is this controversial?
All I see is another sad Prince ass kisser

Don't be so negative...not sexy.

i'm no prince ass kisser! i'll b 1st to admit that newpowersoul was shite, Emancipation doesn't contain 1 great song, wedding feast is one of the worst songs i've ever heard and his last great album was the gold experience.

If your friend is male, please squeeze your friends nuts in a gradual sort of way..until tears stream from his eyes.

If your friend is female...is she foine?

In your opinion.

BTW where did those people go that were on the front row? (the ones that went up to dance)

Exhilarated or not from dancing with P, if it was mine whose seat you stole, i'd cave your face in.

I don't understand this. So what happens is that if someone gets up to dance, they lose their seat? Where do they go after they leave the stage if someone has taken their seats?

>(sorry to any non-members at this stage)

And sorry to actual members who only got row 11, ass-hole.

And not ONE good song on Emancipation? Very strange individual...

jeez..thats like my first ever post and now every1 hates me! ...I was only trying to share an experience

Also, i meant to say, "(sorry to any members at this stage)" for finding myself closer than yourselves...but hey saturdays gig was phenomenal what with the acoustic set, peach, joy in repetition, alphabet st, days of wild etc. and we should be happy to have attended regardless of where we were sitting/standing!!

I said not 1, "GREAT" song on emancipation which is true!...theres plenty of good ones esp. "in this bed i scream!"

So what did happen when the people returned from the stage to find you sitting in their seat?

Ok...i was only front row + standing while those people were onstage for the very last 20mins of the concert...NOBODY was sitting at this stage in the whole of the apollo...Alphabet st was playin for gawds sake!!! The people only returned from the stage TO GO HOME cuz the concert wz OVER! Who wants to sit in their seat after the concert? not me!
hope this alleviates n e 1's fears of gettin their seat stolen...not gonna happen!...i simply stood where people on stage dancin had previously sat till prince invited them up!

Starting to wish i hadn't said anything now!
