I know Its prolly a lil soon to ask, But any news on after shows for any of the NJ/NY gigs?

Any thoughts on possible locations? I've never been to a Prince after show in the 8+ shows since 1984. Anyone else ?

Bueller..Bueller?

I'm going out for the show on the 29th.

I'm hoping that when it gets closer, there will be some kind orgers who will start leaking the info on the aftershows. I plan on checking my phone for updates during and immediately after the concert.

Which show(s) are you going to?

I won 6 tickets (3 sets) Im going to the 17TH & 18Th shows. & a third i don't know which yet.

An aftershow would make it COMPLETE!

I've been trying to understand this for a long time now. It's probably a simple answer for the rest of you but not me. How would anyone at a concert know there is an aftershow and where it would be? And how does the information spread?

Ha I remember back in the pre-internet days, people who got pulled up onstage to dance would be told and would come back and tell us... and I remember a few times where they'd announce it over the loudspeaker after the concert leading to a mad dash out the venue.

Hopefully this time around they're announced at least before the show so folks can strategize.

Chances of the Apollo are kind tough... it's a union house that requires advance negotiation for sound/tech personnel. And usually those shows have to end by midnight. Better chance of an aftershow taking place at a nightclub where there aren't so many restrictions in terms of curfew or labor.

yes cause not everyone is from nyc and has a car! i've never been on the subway

The last real aftershow Prince did in NYC was at Butter restaurant the night after his Good Morning America appearance with Tamar. Those tickets (limited to 200 I think) went on sale through the NPGMC earlier that day and that was it.

Before then, it was at The World night club (which I think is where the Nokia is now) in Times Square--but that was after One Nite Alone and was part of the soundcheck-premium seats-aftershow deal of the NPGMC membership.

During Musicology, they just had an "afterparty" they sold tickets for online through NPGMC and we all got to smush ourselves into BBKings in Times Square listening to a DJ, while Prince chilled in a booth. Those are the worst.

so i guess i shoulda get my hopes up then

My guess is that if there is an afterparty it will be at BB Kings. He seems to like playing there AND Mint Condition usually performs there when they are in NYC. It's tiny as HELL tho. :/

Cool.

He's been at the Village Underground a few times this year. Possibility?

True.. he was there last week wasn't he??? I am not sure if he performed but he was there...

ohhh holla.

well i'm definitely not leaving until i know there is definitely not a aftershow. but opening night i booked a room at red roof 4 miles from the venue......other dates...no room. the msg shows TRAIN!

Any thing out there about an aftershow for the 17th?

How much are these to get in usually?

Also, if I have an under 21 in my party is it possible to get her in..... ???

She's nice to look at so that should help.

For those that don't know/remember, last time he played MSG the after PARTY was at bb kings. The Man was there, but he did not perform. He was in a roped off VIP area, but in clear view of every one.

Remember folks, i'm not trying to dampen your enthusiasm, but there are dozens of places that could house an aftershow in NYC.

Hope he does them though, more shows = more chance of bootlegs.

Enjoy.

Yes, my wife saw him in a booth on a laptop (probably checking MSG show reviews/posts on NPG site) that night. I bought the whole bottle for a booth deal which was a few $$ and was highly dissapointed...but hey can't blame him as there is never any guarantees of an actual performance. Took my chances and likely will get suckered in again. The man is just addictive, LOL.

are there like ppl waving u off if u get too close to that area? lol i'm thinking when we did vip for webster hall with the bachelorette party. interesting the way it was set up. oh god if i saw him it'd be like when the kid first and appollonia first meet....that stare they give each other...ROFL

Thanks for that info. I think I'm going to head there Friday night after the Izod show if I don't hear any other aftershow info. The house band is crazy good there. I went last summer and was blown away.

thinking there aint gonna be a aftershow. hopefully first msg show there will be. even just one!!

WOW. You just brought me back. Oh how I remember Butter, The World, and each night at damn BB King's without a performance. Ugh.

Prince did do after show concert at the former WWE restaurant back in 2002

yes, my knees hurt to this day from Butter's but it was worth it. I was the tall guy right in front of the mic that knelt the whole time so everyone could see Prince!!!!!!!
