I don't follow this at all ... why compare it to 2 things that have nothing to do with a musical performance whatsoever??? Prince communicates through his music and performance, no need for him to "verbally" say anything. anyways ... "this especially prepared potato is called pomme de terre" | |

He could only go downhill, or play 'HEAD', so he stopped great move and I'm still hungry | |

Don't know why people R complaining about security. Did not bother me a lot. As a matter a fact I did not see them at all. Had no probs with people in front O me... I stood first row and had a clear view. I took a friend along who complained that he could only see Ronda's crotch as he was looking passed tha keyboards.
The show really rocked and a couple O my favourite songs like calhoun square and strangly beautifull came along. I did not mind tha $100 anymore after the first 2 jams. Damn this was goin 2 B great. As 4 the end bit... I think he broke a string for the second time that show. The guitar was laying there in front O me (1 meter, o boy o boy whould that B a nice present) with 1 broken string. Don't kno if the string broke on impact or while playin'. I got myself some nice souvenirs like a guitar pick and a blackwell drum stick (unfortunately both where not played with) Thanx John 4 bringin' round tha drum sticks, really appreciated it. U bring tha best beats to the house. | |

If some of you noticed that at the beginning of the Nighttown concert one of the members of the security went down to the floor to grab violently a tiny detachable photo camera to a frightened guy, this guy was me...  I'm Casper the friendly boo | |

Fucking Nighttown - the employees there were trying to get a better view of the show over the paying patrons! The place sucks but Prince rocked it out! SIGNAL | |

m3taverse said: also Calhoun, i enjoy reading your postings and when he played Calhoun Square yesterday night i remembered reading one where you hoped he would play the song once while you were in the room. So i thought about you when he played it, maybe some of it beamed over to you, i hope so
Sander said: I also wrote this on another thread, I also thought about you Calhoun! Hope you get to hear it live one day.
 You guys ROCK!!!  I hope I get to hear it live one day too! Before he completely changes his setlist, LOL... At least I was "there" in your thoughts... SWEET!   I never met you, but I LOVE you & I will forever!! Thank you for being YOU - my little Princey, the best to EVER do it | |

Although Prince asked him to put it out was not the reaction he hoped for...he now has the story that Prince asked him (YES him) for a sigaret...how many people can tell that story? And as an reaction on that great incident: Prince just asked he wasn't irritated at all...and the same was for the flashes, he doesn't like it but it had nothing to do with his performance. What we saw in Nighttown was an absolute unique performance with a more then spectacular end. Aren't we always saying that we don't like all this predictable music nowadays...well this is why PRINCE rules. Unpredictable and a incredible concert with an ending no one will ever forget. I'm still totally fucked up and excited by what happened saturday, and howmany times during your life does that happen.

EDD said: I obviously don't know why the show ended the way it did.
for me it felt just right. It was totaly in with the performance, so much energy building up, so much things happening that it was THE way to end this european tour, just leaving us behind wanting more ... It's just the way to do it. On another issue, I got the impression, and got this more and more as the day went by that prince was gonna say, "well fuck it, and start playing HEAD" I don't know, I've got a feeling he's at a crossroad again, and that he's got to choose a new direction ... But then again, like a said before, I don't know anything, It's all based on feelings, But that's what princes music does for me, it get's in my body, between my flesh and my skin.
