I was was high giving some friends but they didn't know what this song was. I was singing, dying inside and trying to explain all the while trying to take in the significance of what he was singing right there right then. MUTHAFCKR!!!!! NO LIGHT IN A LARGE ROOM>... See this is why you keep holding on for this guy.. He simply is capable at anytime live of kicking your ass and every musicians ass in a 10 block radius.... I would pay $200 to see him play that one song. and figures most of the crowd had no idea. IT FNG KILLS ME!!!! It was well worth the $77 To Sir, with Love | |

It was so cool to look over and see someone else who knew "In A Large Room. . ." I never imagined hearing him perform that one live! That whole show was just classic for me. It was a true fan's treat. It would have been great to be in the pit at that show, but I still had an AMAZING night at all shows. I really like that Club Nokia had screens all around the venue, so whenever someone's head blocked me or I wanted a closeup, I just looked at the screens. The whole night was fantastic despite the sound problems. Prince and his amazingly talented arsenal of musicians served up a full meal. The Nokia Theatre was the appetizer, Conga Room was the entree (that set was unbelievable - I'm Yours had me hysterical!) and Club Nokia was dessert. I went back to my hotel room completely satiated. It was worth every penny my sister and I spent flying in from Chicago. Nice, nice... I got that same vibe myself. Although after such a great entree, we were thinking such scandalous thoughts we chose a more intimate dessert  lol Walking down the steps of the Conga I was like 'that right there just made the 5 hr flight worthwhile..  ********************************************

gubbins4ever said: Stunning!
The biggest surprises for me were, in order from biggest going down:
This is the most surprising setlist I think I've ever seen - way beyond even the Celebration gigs. It's great to see Prince bringing out rarer gems and embracing more of his catalogue. There are so many great songs so rarely given attention and many such songs would surely benefit from Prince's live touch. The biggest wow's are the unreleased songs. Prince obviously has one audience very clearly in mind with those songs: the fans! I wonder if these songs are a hint of future release, what with the LotusFlow3r's web guy saying that 10 CD's-worth of unreleased tracks have been assembled. This could be what we have been begging for for years. This is very exciting. 10 cd's? I've heard this rumor but is it true? To Sir, with Love | |

Now, if they posted these concerts at the Club, then I wouldn't be so upset about paying $77 for membership. | |

Damn, what a setlist!!!
I'm yours?! 
Love to see them on the next tour, hope he brings them! Btw. maybe it's already mentioned but ''A Little Help From Your Friends'' is not a Joe Cocker song, it's actually a Beatles composition.

bellanoche said: thepope2the9s said: i 2nd that I would kill 2 c him do that live This is one of my favorite Prince songs, but I never mention it to casual fans when they ask my favorites because I know they don't have a clue. Anyway, when he kicked it off with that, I had a momentary pause of utter disbelief. I NEVER EVER thought I would hear that one live. His guitar playing at the Conga Room show was so unbelievably outrageous. How is it possible for him to continue to get better? I also think that Ron Wood being in the house made P kick it up another level. He was killing it. Did anyone check his new move - the one-handed playing while holding the other hand straight up and motioning.  It was just too much!
I am still having flashbacks from that show. Michael B and Sonny T were awesome. Sonny is a general on the bass and Michael B is power personified. I was having visions of the Band of Gypsies while watching the show. I could have listened to those three together all night. Btw, Colonized Mind and Dreamer sounded great live! On another note: Does anyone know if they lady who passed out is ok? That was the only weird thing that happend. Some woman just hit the floor in front of me. What's crazy is that I was so into the show that I did not even see her fall. Then I looked down and her head was at my feet and she was down there. She got up and said she was ok, so I hope she is alright. I would've died if I heard that live!!!!! Two songs I need to hear live before I die. STILL WAITING (the first Prince song I ever heard) and the original OLD FRIENDS 4 SALE. MyeternalgrattitudetoPhil&Val.Herman said "We want sweaty truckers at the truck stop!

Damn.....and I thought Prince was embarrassed by his first ever album.
Wow, he FINALLY sang "I'm Yours" live!  | |

The Conga Show was all out bliss/ear candy for Prince guitar purists. I was standing next to a couple in their forties & we kept toasting each other after each song not believing what our ears were hearing, Incredible! I'm Yours took me completely off guard, at first i have to admit not recognizing until 3/4 the way thru. It made the drive down from SF seem like an afterthought & the drive back a breeze while i played the entire night back in my head. |
