After the amazing 'Creep', what would be on your wish list for cover songs at Croke? I'd like Children of the Revolution, by T Rex.....please?!!!!(and Creep of course)

personally i could do without the covers he has enough of his own material which he could play i would rather hear an unusual b-side

b3xy said:

yes! And let Maceo sing some
Or Mavis. Could he get Mavis to sing Melody Cool?

Stevie Wonder "I don't know why I love you"

I love all the covers he did last year tho

But the cool b-side idea is great too!

Id like him to play diamonds and pearls cos I havent heard him do it live.

Im not really into covers as I think really they are about showing off his skill, theyre fine if sandwiched tight in between lots of other Prince tracks.

Agreed

I want to hear Prince stuff, If I wanted to hear 'Come together' I'd get my mum's old 45's out

I like hearing Prince cover songs. It's nice to know what he listens to and is therefore inspired/excited by.

The Smiths 'last night i dreamt somebody loved me'

in that case it's nice.
It isn't when he wants to say 'this is how you SHOULD do it'

iloveannie said:

thats an interesting thought!

I don't mind the odd cover here and the when it's something inspired and new for him like Creep. I love Sly Stone but the same old ones he's always done need to be dropped. It just eats into the time of the set. Come Together too - every time he does it it takes about 10 minutes to finish. When he did it at the O2 and Indigo2 I stood there annoyed that he could have fit 2 more of his own songs in by the time.

So Planetearth, are you taking our ideas into consideration?????

PlanetEarth said:

Is that - yuk - not on your nelly or ooh you got me thinking i love it and so my tongues hanging out?


long time no see planet earth!

Suppose a U2 cover could be on the cards...

Then maybe he'll mess up the words as payback for BONO all those years ago in The Pod forgetting the words to 'The Cross'!!!!!

Did Bono mess up that bad?

O.K Maybe I was a bit harsh!!! But if you are going to sing a song like 'The Cross' with Prince in the wings waiting to come on at least try and remember the words....If not why not choose a bigger hit where even for BONO it's impossible to mess up.

Who Knows maybe BONO will appear again at the Croker show and try again!!!!

kramor3k said:

i might be sad but, i love prince singing

' i can't make you love me.'

it's one of my fav songs.

kramor3k said:

Yeah, that's bad.
I'm more hoping for special quest like Sheila E and The Time. And a great band WITH Maceo.

The Cure - A Forest

jammed out, in an "all the critics" stylee (last aftershow Indigo2)
