It's a beautiful song, sung better by girls I think. Loved Martika's version too. "Free URself, B the best that U can B, 3rd Apartment from the Sun, nothing left to fear" Prince Rogers Nelson - Forever in my Life - | |

Renato was there the whole time, laughing and having a good time and enjoying Princes dance moves.
Early in the concert Prince were lying on the back on Renatos Piano, looking at renato upside down, like a woman trying so seduce him.. There were so many cool moments during the show! Aka Mister T at moquake.com | |

He was very well received, I must say - and he had a good time, he said - "I don't wanna go home!" Lots of interaction with the audience, talking/singing/chanting etc. He even gave away two (2) of his guitars to the audience! Approx. 8500 tickets sold, one paper stated. | |

Correct!! Aka Mister T at moquake.com | |

He knows how to tease and flirt with the audience. Say the right things and do the right things (when he's in the mood). And he was in a really good mood!! And I overheard several people on their way out yesterday, surprised over how open, joyful and full of humor he was.
Someone usually come and picks up the guitar and brings it back to the stage when he hands it to the audience... I did not see if that was the case yesterday, but I'm surprised if it wasn't... Aka Mister T at moquake.com | |

Thank you very much for the information, I appreciate it. Sounds real great, him and the audience having a good time!!! I'm very happy for all of you who could see Prince yesterday, and I look forward to enjoying him again in two weeks in Milan. | |

I can relate to that because I was just as surprised about it when I saw Prince in Vienna in July, for the first time after 17 years!! He was not like that back in the late 80s and early 90s. It was a very nice surprise to see him so relaxed and full of humor. I did not remember seeing him like this before.

I guess you're never neutral when you're to describe a Prince concert – not on the very next day at least – but only the word sublime truly sums up this experience.
Look at the set list. See the lineup.
Renato seemed in awe of Prince through the whole thing – like he'd never seen anything like this little guy before. (Despite the report from the security person before the concert that they'd been practicing turnarounds for seven full hours before the show). That cracked me up, just watching these two guys interact with each other. I mean, can you imagine a more atypical band member for funk/soul/pop act Prince than this curious looking bossa nova dude – but no, he's the best, so he's with Prince.
Did y’all see that?!! Prince after John’s drum routine in Shh
At this point (Shh), I literally heard people’s jaws dropping around me. Like "What the fuck just happened behind the drum set!!!" A lot of the people in the audience obviously hadn’t seen Prince since the Lovesexy tour, or the Oslo concert in 1992, or ever before, and had no idea of how good he actually is today. Or the quality of the band he travels with.
The whole evening was just packed with “Wow” moments. Another was his Detroit style dance moves throughout – the dude was just on fire – I don’t know what people thought they expected, some washed up Tina Turner retro routine, maybe. People need to learn that when you go to a Prince concert, he rarely lets you off the hook. I overheard some dude on the way out wondering who was handling the guitar when Prince wasn’t soloing.
All the while 9000 people are queing up in Oslo to see Lady Gaga. Nice planet.
The show was a bit like the Roskilde show, only better. Keyword is Minneapolis sound. Three The Time songs! Uptown! Let’s Work! Tight.
The new bass player was exquisite. Sheila was stunning – as always.
Like most people, I’m not fanatical about the whole Family Stone/Shake Your Body Down To The Ground/Dance (Disco Heat)-thing. But what he did this time was to just take it a little bit easy on these sequences. Get them over with. Move on. Move to Cream. To Forever In My Life (a highlight). To Cool (too cool). And oh, he actually did the bird when he did The Bird. Priceless.
The opening, with The Love We Make, was like heaven. Quite bold. And perfectly presented. I’m guessing that maybe 0,2 % of the people in attendance knew this one. But the mere quality of the song, and the power of the deliverance, truly won us over. God, how I love the fact that he opened with this one, instead of LGC or 1999 or any of the others.
We paid to see you, Prince. Do what you wanna.
And when he came back at the end, after a zillion “encores”, and did Sometimes It Snows In April just for me, I nearly lost it. That was a truly perfect ending. Neto was visibly moved when he did his little solo. My own eyes was all glassy and hurting like hell from all the emotion. Prince himself was all coolness, as usual. Just presenting his beautiful music with his slightly over-sized guitar hanging round his pretty little hips.
Danmark, Italia, Belgia, NYC and the rest of ya: Please be excited.
Be very excited.
He’s loving this now. [Edited 10/19/10 14:39pm] | |

And the second one (BT) admits that in hindsight it should maybe have been a 6/6:
"Jo, det var en strålende konsert. I ettertid ser jeg at jeg kanskje burde gitt en sekser. Jeg innrømmer det." | |

BOTW was a flawless rendition of the Aretha Franklin version, complete with the "Still water I need"-part (or whatever the hell it is that the choir's singing) at the beginning - only they put it near the end. Before Pearls B4 The Swine. Which was beautiful too. Very good song for a "gospel" style version. | |
