OMG, I just realized that I have a sickness. I was just on posting my experience from the Feb 7th show (late bloomer) and noticed these shows (I'm not sure why I get Ticketmaster alerts if I don't read them). All of a sudden, I'm jonesing for another show. I swore that I wouldn't go back because I could never top my Feb 7th experience. Now, I'm trying to justify going down Weds. I can't believe that there are still great seats available (of course, the worst seat is still a great seat at a Prince concert!). I'm still high from 6 weeks ago and lookin for my next "hit." I may still have that (missed) opportunity to get arrested!

Seeing Prince in Greenville next week and am reading that Layla Hathaway is the opening act. She was one of the opening acts at the Izod concert. I know we aren't supposed to complain or question his Purple Majesty but DAMN!!!! I think she is a good singer but not for a Prince concert. I sat though the NJ show with an open mind trying to get into her preformance but it could have put me to sleep. I'm sorry I mean no disrespect to her because as I said she has a nice voice but the thought of having to sit though it again is a little disappointing. I would have LOVED Mint Condition or Anthony Hamilton. Heck I would even prefer Ol' Larry. Ok I'm done venting. It will be awesome regardless of who opens. I just won't be rushing to get there early.

that show at the RBC center last night was great like to go to the next one too

I went to the Raleigh show.Don't be so fast to get out to your car. I hung around to take pics of the stage and with about 3000 or so fans remaining, Prince did another encore!!!!!

I agree, the tickets are ridiculously over priced for this economy. I could barely afford two tickets right now. I doubt I will be able to see two shows. Yea, I'm complaining b/c its annoying. America is fucking broke & he's over pricing his shows. This better be the best damn show I've seen of his.

With that aggravation out of the way I am extremely excited to see the show even if it is some nose bleed seat bullshit! I was going to try & gamble & wait to the last minute to see if the prices dropped but I didn't want to risk missing the show. I guess I could always sell my tickets if that does happen but would I get my money back?

Look forward to seeing all you purple peoples in Greensboro. Amazingly enough the Coliseum is my brother's exit & we'll be staying with him so I got free room & board + it's my cousin's birthday that lives in Winston so it turned into a big weekend for the whole family even if it did cost me outrageously to do it.

I'm still pretty surprised he chose Greensboro. I mean it's convenient for me but still. It doesn't seem like a big seller but what do I know.

Yeah, but In Oakland, I paid more roughly $250 a ticket for club level. Sitting on the floor is useless because the stage is high and takes of most of the floor. The best best is to get on seats along the lower bowl, and since his recording his shows in HD try not to get where the cameras are positioned. Best place to sit is right near the middle of the symbol O(---> He stands there singing mostly

NOW PRINCE come on down to south fla.lakeland fla.we will all be praying and hopeing you will come this way WE LOVE YOU PRINCE PLEASE COME THIS WAY.

How old is your daughter? I took mines, she's 8. She LOVED it. She's been raised on Prince & never shown much interest but now.... she's been caught with MY IPOD when she should be sleeping!!! She hasn't stopped asking questions & is trying to understand his lyrics too. It's an amazing opportunity for anyone, especially a Mother/ daughter.

Wishing you the time of your life xx

Has anyone seen the twins on this "tour" or have they been fired already?

They appeared briefly with Prince 4 one show in NY. But soon disappeared..

GREENSBORO show was MUUUUUUCH better than the CHARLOTTE show. U can tell Prince was having fun and TRYING 2 show out because it's Shelby's hometown. Seen him per4m over 10 times and have NEVER seen the energy that he gave GREENSBORO..he even said: "When people ask me where I'm from, from now on i'm saying "Greensboro"

My wife and I attended the Dec. 18 show at Madison Square Garden. MSG had all the stars. Greensboro had all the hits. His set list was INCREDIBLE! Prince THREW down. Loved this show better than New York.

Awesome.

Hi Layitdown! Looks like I was REALLY close to your seat. Hope you had a good show! I thought the Greenville SC show was MUCH better. Did you see that one as well? Funny, I got just about the same pictures you did.

This answers my previous question. Too bad for Charlotte because it is a really beautiful city with friendly people.

I didn't know that Shelby's hometown was Greensboro.

Thanks for sharing. Awesome pic. Certainly a full house on the 28th.

Kinda fun being the headliner on prince.org for over a week

Have fun for all who attend.

I loved the show in Greenville even though I was 1/2 asleep due to a fatal wreck in my yard the night before. It was a great release from the previous night. My seats were ok but the music was just GREAT! I think P had a good time... I wish Greenville didnt make him shut down at 11pm.

Im so glad to see him again... It was cool to see a the Time classic "COOL" dont by Prince. Ive seen Morris and the guys do it a million times but never P.

Thanks man...but only 1 pic? C'mon...GIMMESOMEMO!
