Maybe wishful thinking, but I was chatting to a couple of guys in the line for the 16th 8pm show (Prince handed them the guitar after he ripped through Dreamer!) and one of them said a friend who works at the airport had seen the band's flight details and that they were going back to the US on the 18th. What do you think the chances are of Prince squeezing in another show on 17th? They said also there were 3 female singers and the harmonica guy on the list so looks like the show tonight will have a bigger band. Lets wait and see . . . have fun those who are going.

So, show on 17th or not?

noops, not in Monaco, but perhaps in Paris ....

Oh god... not the harmonica guy again. Dammit.

So, the harmonica guy was there ( the 3 girls must have been backstage/production not backing vox), so his source seems to be right in saying the band aren't leaving till tomorrow (18th).
Keep your eyes and ears open people!

'spose he's in Holland now buying a new windmill (remember?)

I heard Prince is gonna put that windmill replica up on stage to replace the harmonica player since so many fans complain about him.

3 "female singers"

angelface22 said:

Yeah, as opposed to 3 "male singers."

Malloy said:

no. "as opposed to" 3 female "friends".

i see that one went over your head

angelface22 said:

I must be tired. Went over my head by about a mile! Yeah, I reckon they "helped" him out backstage. (ok, we don't need to do the quote thing anymore. )

LOL

sorry, i'm not up 2 date: prince has NOT played the 17th, right? And what about that announcement that there will be more concerts in France this automn? anybody knows...???

There never was a concert on the 17th.

And Frankrijk (France) is in Holland. The windmill thing is from '87 or '88.

Merci, but i didn#t mean the windmill ...on the posters/website? of lotusflower in France they write that prince will surely give concerts in automn in France...but i guess there's no more information yet... so we just have 2 wait

aroundtheworld said:

a french site mentioned a concert at Nimes at the end of august. But that was never official only rumours. I dont know what you mean with posters of lotusflower in France...There is only one lotusflower and that site mentions nothing. Hopefully you are right about autumn. But where did you read that?

i got it from this thread:
http://prince.org/msg/7/316903
the picture seems 2 come from a french blog...wouldn't it be great if prince would play in stade de france in paris...? oh la la

aroundtheworld said:

thanks for the link. I prefer le bataclan of les bains douches. But perhaps it will be l'Olympia. Would be fine for me

rafael said:

yeah, i guess any place in paris would b great i was at a U2 concert at the stade (i'm not that much of a U2 fan, just like their old stuff) and i was impressed by the pure SIZE of it...i think it looks like a gigantic Space Ship

aroundtheworld said:

saw the 360 degree show too in Gelsenkirchen. But the spider was less high as the roof of the stadium was closed. But it was still very impressive. I liked the show though, always been a fan of Bono...But hey, we are not on a U2 fansite

rafael said:

Cool ! What do u think: would it b good if our maestro also had such a big stage with effects, glitter and all that stuff...?

sorry, i feel the need 2 explain myself, surely prince DOES have show effects and big concert stages, but there's still a difference 2 artits like those gigantic U2 shows...or am i wrong

aroundtheworld said:

No, I prefer to see prince in a club atmosphere...The stadiums can look very impressive, but when i visit a concert I am only interested to see the artist with my own eyes and not on a screen. The only part that is o.k. is that when you visit a concert in a stadium you are always able to get in...With a club show it is always stressfull...but not impossible
