Great Show!!! Alot of energy in the crowd tonight as well as Prince!!! He played about 2 hours and 15 mins. Not to many people left early tonight. Was surprised Bria was there. He sang If I was your girlfriend to her as she sat at the piano. Was surprised when he sampled The screams of passion during his sampler set. Nice to hear him singing Hot Thing during that set. Did anyone else thought he was thinking about doing the splits during kiss? I hope Prince enjoyed his stay here in the Bay Area as it sure looked like he was having alot of fun tonight.

He did seem to be really enjoying tonight and he wasn't the only one wink

After four incredible performances in less than 10 days, I was a little worried that tonight might have been a tiiiny bit of a disappointment, but it wasn't even close. It was a perfect ending to a perfect trip and I have wonderful memories to take home with me biggrin

His kiss dance was definitely extra funky tonight, even with a bit of old-school, 'Cream'-style humping the floor in the mix!

The setlist was great and LRC and PR were especially potent tonight. Maybe it was because it was my last, but I was really feeling them, even more than the other nights.

I've met some wonderful people in my travels, some from here on the org and others that I've just met at the shows, and feel very blessed to have made such great connections. Prince fans are awesome! biggrin

Thanks once again to Prince & crew for a thoroughly enjoyable purple vacation!! heart

Since I missed him in Oakland, which is really close to my house, I'm so glad he came back up to the Bay area. I was in sec 115 row 24. Great seats. I think the piano side was the best side to be on. I really enjoyed the show. Y'all see him smirk when he was singing the judgement day part of 1999? Hilarious. I didn't know that was Bria. I thought it was awfully conveinent such a pretty lady was pulled up though. I really wish he would have played 17 Days though. Probably would have played longer but the Sharks have a game tomorrow too. When he came back for the first encore he said "Don't y'all know how many hits I have? We will be here until next Saturday. Don't play with me." Lol! If only.

Oh and I REALLY love that version of LRC. Omg.

It isnt luck.

He finds bimbos with low IQ's who will do what he says and not buck when he brings his other girlfriends around. Prince has an entourage of females and Bria knows it. She stays with him for the money and spotlight. I cant speak on any of the other hussies because I dont know. Except to say that poor Misty doesnt know any better. Good for her she has her own career. I just hope she doesnt let him destroy it.

Prince gets what he asks for. Sadly.

The only reason Bria is around is because Misty is busy with her career and Prince hates being alone.

I don't know what to say. It's a shame it got cut (relatively) short, but we got him wearing a fan's fedora, taking photos of the crowd, playing Screams of Passion for the first time ever, singing If I Was Your Girlfriend to Bria, and humping the floor. I'd call that a success.

Not a bad way to close out the false end of the world. cool Totally memorable night, but all I'll say is this: San Jose don't get down like Oaktown do (loved the reference during Cool). Nothing compares.

Truly one of the BEST prince concerts Ive been to!!!! The atmosphere was intoxicating and everyone was gettin their groove on!

I managed to get a lower level $28 ticket to the thursdays show and it was not that great. 1/3 less songs and prince just seemed to not want to be there...i think he might have been tired, i dont blame him.

Saturdays show was waaaay better, he was obviously in a much better mood over all and seemed well rested. The Twinz were there dancing around,Prince definitely did take pictures of the crowd at one point which was extremely fun and bria was sitting at the piano as Prince was singing If I Was Ur Girlfriend. That was pretty awesome and she looked so happy! lucky girl! haha

anyways, to sum it all up I really enjoyed the show. Its my 6th prince concert, 4th this year (went to oakland on 2/23 and 2/24 this year and SF and London in 2007) this one is definitely up there with the london show! London was extremely good but this show definitely takes a close second for me based on the shows that i have attended.

I met some wonderful people while I was there and am always happy to meet prince fans (everyone is always so nice!) hope everyone enjoyed it as much as me!

Peace, Love, and some Purple Rain,

M.E.

Peace, Love, and some Purple Rain!!
