When Prince played ONA in Hammersmith '02, he didn't play any of them 3 songs. Admittedly because of that the shows didn't get good commercial reveiws, but as a fan the set list was amazing, especially for Balad of Dorothy Parker, Sometimes it snows in April, and Don't Play Me! Screw the Critics and the reviews. Play for the Fans!!! 0+> Life's a Parade! LoveLife, LoveSexy! | |

To follow it up with a ONA style set of gigs would be great for the fans and hopefully a treat for the new fans that he's attracted from his recent greatest hits stint. I do agree with everything you've said but for me, after 22 years of being a fan and seeing nearly 40 live shows (and then all the bootleg shows that I've got hold of) my list reflects either what I've still never seen, or still not seen enough of!

But if I can't get that then:

Bring Sheila back on drums. Get funky again (days of wild!)  what about renato? can he stay? he's funky!!!  Not as funky as FINK!  | |

The beauty of Prince really is...that he's a work of art in progress and no matter what we ask him to play or whom to perform with--we all know he's doing it Prince's way. And just as I have been for the last 25 years that I've been a fan(wow that makes me old huh), and the lights go down- boom! -I just hope I'm surprised like I have been for the previous 24 years.

I'd really love to hear him do versions of Wendy and Lisa's material from their 4 albums. Imagine Prince doing a Wendy and Lisa tribute album? I wonder what tracks he would choose?  Life's a Parade!

Perhaps he'd like to think about doing a concert on the Boat Trip on June 7th?! A reminder of the O2 shows, sailing down the Thames.....Get on the Boat!
We can promise NOT to sing Happy Birthday, and he can be NOT celebrating because he'll be working | |

What happened to the boycott!? We were all mad at P like 2 weeks ago??!! You all are so fickle.
When he comes to my town I am holding a big ol' sign outside the arena saying and chanting "Down with Prince". Then i am going to put my sign back in my car, change my clothes and my wig and sit in the second row like the fan that I am! LOL 1 Thessalonians 5:23 | |

Prince is my boy. I've been a fan forever and wouldn't have it either way but lately his actions have been unnecessary. I mean seriously, sueing people for playing videos of THEIR OWN CHILDREN just because his music was playing in the background is absurd! He gets the Picket Signs!!!
(until the concert starts)..well you know the rest. LOL [Edited 1/15/08 9:45am] 1 Thessalonians 5:23 | |

We could have a vote for tracks to play and give him the list, imagine his face !!!! lol I reckon your talking £200,000 for a nite, so if 2000 of us put in £100 each, we got Prince for the night to do a gig, hey, I paid £500 for 2 VIP (not) tickets at the O2, so this is cheap and great value compared. How much would you pay and what song would you choose? My nominated song choice would be Around the world in a day, and as we're paying, I vote for an unplugged session. This is abit of a duplication of a post I just put in for the 40'th gig he recently played in the hangar, but I figured its relevant for this as its the gig I'd love to see, Prince unplugged and just have orger's there !!! [Edited 1/2/08 9:50am] great idea!!!!! | |
