fabulous review! i read every word that's so exciting that you drove all the way to MN! i have lived here all my life, but had never been in paisley until saturday night. sounds like you had a primo set in the third row. my seat however, was right in the path when he walked off the stage and got to stand a foot away from prince 8 times on saturday all in all it was a fantastic night!

did you have on the black fedora ? your about 5"6 ? I was the girl in the blinding yellow top /banded black dress and I told the woman screaming to the top of her drunk lungs to shut up

Wait. There were chairs?

im late but this was an AMAZING experience for me, my first and although i wasnt an enthusiast i think i am now. i had such a good time. my computer crashed and there is some type of bug on this site so i may not come here too much more but im glad i got to have my first concert experience at PP. unforgettable. the only complaint was the airport and raining.

I was gonna say... Though, they did have chairs at least one night at the 2002 Celebration, but it was for the laid back acoustic set.

[b]Wow, what's this? An inside scoop?? Did y'all miss this mysterious comment or what?

Serena said:

Great report and thanks for the pictures!

Now that I'm back home and have had a chance to relax a little, I just wanted to try to put together some more coherent thoughts (like I'll be able to now, lol). Honestly, having never been at PP before, this entire experience was just so perfect for me. I booked my flight at 12AM on Friday night, and arrived in Minneapolis at 2:30 on Saturday afternoon. Gave my extra ticket to a lovely friend of heidiv, and the lovely ladies gave me a ride to Paisley Park. Being in college still, I don't really know many Prince fans (don't get me started on how people could even possibly prefer shit like Fergie or Ne-Yo to Prince), so it was pretty awesome for me to spend the night in a room where everyone...got it, y'know? I mean, it's great.

Anyway, I just felt like...the whole evening was sort of magical, it was like a dream or something. I shouldn't have been able to afford it, but everything went off without a hitch, and when Prince took the stage...well, I knew it was DEFINITELY worth it. A hundred times over. The set list was so incredible, it was perfect for me. I know some people don't like it when he plays a ton of hits, but I haven't heard a lot of them live, so I was thrilled. Parade is my favorite album by far, so I was ecstatic that he played Anotherloverholenyohead, Mountains, and Sometimes It Snows in April (I almost cried, it was so lovely). It just felt like this amazing three hour long dance party, the crowd was so fun and FUNKY (anyone who's been to GA concerts that AREN'T Prince knows how awful it can be), and I was right on the side where he kept walking in and out, and I couldn't help myself, I reached out and touched him, his hand, right by his sleeve. Felt like a TOTAL creep/freak, but when am I ever gonna be that close to Prince again?

I mean, it was just an amazing show. Everything from Jackson 5 covers to songs from MPLS/Lotus, to the hits, to dancing his cute little butt off during Kiss, to just straight up FUNK w/ Larry Graham. Is there a reason Prince fans seem to hate on him so hard? That man is a living LEGEND and seeing him and P rock out together was awesome. As Prince said, if you got a problem....

This is a dorky moment but I also have to say I'm really glad Elisa Fiorillo was singing backup, because I used to have SUCH a major crush on her. Loved hearing her do "Shake Your Body Down to the Ground". I hope there are more Paisley shows in the future, I'd definitely go back again, what a kickass time. Wish I had known they were selling tambourines and stuff, I would've bought a souvenir for myself, I was a little distracted by everything going on around me to even think to look for any kind of merchandise. Oh well, there's always next time, right?

Does anyone remember the part after he played a solo and then said something along the lines of "Bet your boyfriend can't do that.", or something? It cracked me up, I wish I remembered it exactly/what song it was during. My boyfriend can't actually do that.

And I have to say, for all the hateraide I was sippin' (I'm still not that impressed w/ her album, but regardless...) Bria is very very beautiful in person, and if P is seeing her, I totally understand why. And if he ain't, he can have my number!

Anyway, thought it was SO cool to end up in the Star Tribune the next day, total surprise, and it was AWESOME getting to meet all you ladies, really, had the best time of my life!

motherfunka said:

I want to know what is shim? My understanding it is thin piece of material.
If he said Him Sh Like one of the org said. That was in bad taste. And some of
the people not all of them male and female talk how Bria looks.By the way she likes nice to me,maybe to others she doesn't. So if he meant some of the ladies
ok, but not all of them should have gotten the Bird. Well maybe I'am reading to much in to this.

Really??? I guess we all (me included) see what we want to see. However, she appears to be a friend of Sonicfreak, who posted what she had to say about it:
