Updated: Prince closed Roskilde Festival with a concert, none of the 70,000 spectators will ever forget.
Roskilde Festival: Technical problems. 70,000 in an ecstasy of equal parts fear and frustration. Was he perhaps come, he sat out there behind and refused to go on? Both questions and answers blown away in the warm summer evening in the second, Prince Roger Nelson sprintede onto Roskilde Orange main stage.
He looked gorgeous: dressed in white like the rest of his band, with a picture of himself from the eighties, printed in the stomach. High collar and a face that signaled 25 years rather than 52, birth certificate provides. With Prince, one never knows, a concert can go along two tracks: either hour long funkjams or hit parade. The record crowd at the Roskilde hoped the last, of course. Evening's direction was dictated already in the first number: "Let's Go Crazy '. The sound level was too low, but keep up, it was a celebration.
Funky, loose, tight - brilliant and implemented
Rock The editor had brought love and champagne. Stopper jumped in time with the music since Prince took the hole at two star hours, which rose levels above all other bands and artists at this year's Roskilde Festival. In another number Asked zoom cameras focus on Prince. I've never seen a man with so much rhythm in your body, Michael Jackson included. Everything went at him with the funky tones.
Apparently he was struggling with severe back problems, but so far not seemed to affect him. The fears about masturbation pent-jams were proved wrong. It was funky, loose, tight - brilliant and implemented.
As a second Mozart conducted the little man he is around with his musicians and baited his audience. Prince had not come to Denmark for fun, he had simply come to have a legacy. So sincere, so amazing, he took it out.
Guitar Play was rough sex
Alone, his guitar playing is a chapter in itself. Mage of casual elegance and sense of fretboard does not exist. Rather, one thinks of Jimi Hendrix, when Prince took after his custom built Fender Telecaster. It was rough sex. That he still has the voice to reach the high notes, he left no doubt about that. At times it was pure James Brown.
The audience at Roskilde receipted for the amazing music, go berserkers in glædesrus to 'Little Red Corvette', 'Nothing Compares 2 U' for hits on hits. In the alternative. elongated versions. Under 'Purple Rain', one of the most beautiful tracks in the modern music history, it was too much. Tears rolled down her face, all in while Prince played and sang closer to the gods.
Redemption at pauver festival
Four times he came in again. The party continued. In my book, Prince played one of those legendary concerts, never ever will forget, just like I could never erase Whitney Houston's major concert in the Forum earlier this year from the hard disk.
Thus was the last concert of a musical seen pauver Roskilde Festival exactly the big redemption, had hungered for through the four sunny festival day.
Prince, Orange Stage Sunday
