21 nites was easy cuz u had 21 main shows and 21 aftershows to wear different t shirts to, so u didnt have 2 spend too much time picking as u had plenty of chances to wear your favourites

the only problem u had back then was trying to fit into the size small lovesexy t shirt from 1988. it was amusing seeing some people trying to fit into tour shirts four sizes too small

I know what you mean, got my Parade Tour T out for thr O2, not a fucking chance of getting my arm into it.

My wife wore it to the O2, so it came in usefull after all.

i have a few really cool sefl made t's from when i was a 28 inch waist in the 90s that i sometimes let girls at gigs etc wear as they don't look so bad stretched across tits. i just look a tit if i could squeeze in2 them some of the t's i got from paisley and npg online were like tents when i got them and i wondered wtf anyone could wear em as they were like dresses, but now they fit and i can wear em 10-15 years later

Ah, if only I still had my old Joe Bloggs 'Sexy MF' sweatshirt - that was awesome! I could always just wear my 'Lotusflow3r' T-shirt - I heard a lot of people are still waiting for theirs!

...or should it be the Love/Sex/Liberty one? It's not (quite!) as tight, but is far thicker so bloody hot in the baking sun!

Same thing happened to me in 2007, I could fit into it, but I looked abit strange in it, however, my GF, who is a Prince virgin will get to wear it tomorrow, which is ironic, as it is actually older than her...

In 1992 I managed to acquire the original Dirty Mind t shirt from the lyceum ballroom concert in 1981 for 5 pounds, when I was home in 2007, I went looking for it, only to find someone had disposed of it... surprisingly not been home since;-)

Anyone know what time Aloe Blacc is due on on Sunday?

Apparently bands start at midday. However, this is England, Prince is involved, so that official line could be a big guess

Can I just say it's good to see people excited for Prince on the org rather than the usual complaints and bashing of him lol funny right?

Cannot. Wait. For. Tomorrow.

totally with you on that japha

Just been talking to a mate thats at the Hop Farm today, Not as many people there as last year but tomorrow will be different.

Not the biggest of stages.

Weather hot and sunny.

Organisers have been telling people Prince slot is 20.15 to 22.45, and then he has 15 minutes over run. Thats not saying he will come on at that time, that is the time he and his crew has to get the stage ready and perform. So you cant see him coming on till around 20.45 earliest.

Can't wait! Let's see... body oil, check! Insence, check! Environmental records... Double check!

I'ma get some serious drawers tonight, think I ain't?

Any ideas on set list fam?

gonna try compile best i know on a cd of most songs he might play that night as i have two initiees to the funk in the car and wana get them going

got a big blue tent (no purple ones apparently) and ready to rock n roll!

and dammm my npg tee shrunk (sticckin to uniques excuse)

Presently chilling in Tunbridge Wells at my stepsis and bro-in-law's place.... gonna mosey on down to the festival site early tomorrow afternoon and meet up with a bunch of people! But tonight, it's beers and the boxing

Still got a spare Sunday day ticket if anyone's interested - will sell at face value (£78 inc booking fee) and can meet up on gate.

Also can hangout if anyone is up for it - my mate who was coming had to bail at last minute and I'm not missing Prince too!!

Just an FYI all - I will be live tweeting the gig tomorrow and posting pics to my Google+ account... pending good signal and my battery surviving the day up till that point which it should! You can find both links in my sig.

The only thing that's going to be "epic" is the amount of time we are all going to have to stand. Looking forward to it and have a few sneaky sandwiches already made for the big day.

I told Cassandra on Twitter that I'm hoping to hear "The Ballad of Dorothy Parker" tomorrow

She replied and said I'd just have to come to the show and find out!

*crosses fingers*

Would be nice to hear "Joy In Repetition" as well...

i hope he does...can i make a shout out for Motherless Child

Hey everyone,

Haven't been on here since 2007, forgive me.

Got a spare ticket for Hop Farm tomorrow which I am happy to give away - can email it tomorrow. After going to 5 O2 shows on my own and finding no-one who wants to trek to the middle of Kent with me on a Sunday, I'm having to accept that I know no-one who loves P as much as I do (or at all!)

Planning to get the last train back at 0030 but a bit concerned about what will happen if I don't get on it. Also, would hate to miss the after party if there is one.

Point is, I've got a quote for a cab back to central London at 3am for £70 - anyone want to share a cab back?

And, I have a spare all day ticket. I will give it for free to a good home.

I won't be on here til the morning but if this is of any interest, do get in touch.

See you there!
