Lemme know how that goes tonight. I don't want to get my camera taken from me when I'm at the show. I might not even bring it out of respect. But, i need to be able to preserve the memories...sigh... My FIRST concert ever and I've been a fan since '85. Dang, I think I deserve atleast one snapshot!...and a aminute or two recording of the man in action. What will I tell my kids when they don't believe that I've seen Prince live at possibly his last show in the US. I'm just sayin....

Izod just did a upper body pat down, my friend had his camera tucked in his socks.... The Garden usually have you walk through the medical detector or use those hand wand things...

IZOD was very lax. We were shooting photos and video all night. In our section they didn't say anything about photos, if they saw someone videoing with his phone, they would ask them to stop.

MSG will probably be different. I never realized how good my little camera takes video!!!!!!!

i ain't even gonna bother. closest seats were yesterday and my camera sux. and my video clips the sound is all weird and choppy...

Izod barely checked me at all. I had my cell phone in my hand and the lady just did a quick peek in my purse and told me to not take pictures with my phone...mind u I had my flip video camera in my purse and my digital point and shoot camera in my coat pocket.

Besides all the signs and comments from security Prince kept making announcements about not caring what "They" and to pull out our cameras and cell phones. I was in the 100 section just a few rows from the floor and security saw me (and a large number of people with small video cameras and cell phones up the whole time.

I wouldn't advise taking a really big or expensive camera and tripod but something the relative size of a cell phone and you should be fine.

They didn't check me at all tonight at MSG (Dec 18). I wasn't patted down or anything.

I only saw them checking women's hand bags.

No pat down...just waved the metal dector down my right side...Camera was on my left side.

they just checked ladies purses. Alot of people had camera with flashes. I didnt see anyone get their camera taken away. they coulnt have taken my camera away if they tried. I just would have walked out. It was a nice show, however he did not play anything from musicology, 3121, lotusflower or 20ten.

I enjoyed the show but nothing spectacular, I've been to 10 shows and have seen everything he played before.

I did manage to get some decent pics and video with good sound. I will post them when I get back home to New Orleans.

Peace.

Pej it was nice meeting you. Hope u had a good time.

Wow-very dangerous

yup.... i walked right up to the security guy and he looked at me and said your good and i walked in... now the ladies i was with got their purses checked...

No check what so ever i could have taken kodak with super zoom they didnt check anyone the people in front of me had a big camera and was snappen pics all night long, i was so pissed cause my cell phone camera and vid suck........but the show was awsome

honestly this was the most lax security i have seen at a MSG event, pretty shocked, i didnt even get asked i walked right in, especially this time of year with coats etc...u'd think something but whatever, from what i hear alot of security at these large venues, just check % of people. Had this been a smaller venue, shit, at the Nokia i pratically emptied my pockets for a Rick SPringfield show

scary to think i remember hearing someone threw a pocket knife at munky from korn at a show and it stuck in the guitar amp. ya my purse is big with many compartments. they barely even looked. if another 911 happened they'd be doing cavity searches for a few yrs after.

now bend over

Well, at least we know there will be videos of these concerts floating around soon . . . .

surprised how fast they were up for opening night but i only sdeen 2 or the 17th and one was already caught by NPG records. too think you'd want ppl to find/share and discover your music...

I just saw a video with a 'dance routine" at the concert (Electric Slide) That looked like alot of fun.

finding alot of em now...i'm in heaven watching these

Ahhh I was standing right near those people!! It was so happy...People were so fired up! Funk at it's best

I didnt get checked..And I didnt even bring a camera. All I had was my phone that a recorded from. And it made it look like I was further than I actually was.

Man, I wish I had tickets to floor sections (for dancing purposes only). I would'a been gettin' down on that "Cool"! I sure hope Prince plays this on Jan 18. "Band....Yah...No...Why...COOL!" That bassline, as simple as it is craziness!
