Performance in front of vacant seats is rather COOL than showing off the number of sold-out shows, isn't it? Is it Japanese-y way of thinking? There was the connection, the power between us. What more? It is something we haven't had even at the time of Parade or Lovesexy because U've just raised the stakes in these months. So, WE WANT MORE, WE WANT PRINCE! At the Forum that was about Us, as U say, me, u, and u and u and... U, Us! Each and every night had a different look even in the same songs because U were breathing in and out that place and time like U have never done before, with Us. That was the spirit of MUSICOLOGY, the spirit of ADORE. There's nothing to be ashamed of, nothing to be depressed; no reason to stop. We are all the winner all because of U. But if time will never pass equally, NOW'S THE TIME, isn't that right? We all know U have been a genius of changing mind; nothing is impossible, good or bad...

Oh, by the way, I am a psycho who truly believes that U read these stuff sometimes. But it was Ur fault because after I posted I would attend May 5-7 here U actually gave me extraordinary 3 nights in all the 68 gigs I ever have witnessed. Now I have been meaning to have the 70th next week. But no matter what will happen, believe it or not, I wanna say this; thank you, Prince!

I think I understand your post and I seem to agree. That Thursday with the weak showing and $10 tickets had a great setlist and wonderful final encore (More Than This).

Thank you always DaveG! I wish we could say hi when he returns, LA or NYC where I live.

Thank you for trying to understand; my English plus that I didn't want to be too specific so that I won't lose the magic I've experienced might have been a trouble.

Receiving a text message from Prince_Live; Europe next..., at this point I seriously believe Prince is personally sending it to me so that I won't waste my money or concern, Ha ha, now I give up! But not on U, Prince! I give up on next week, that's it. My life is not designed to stop following U. But so far I just wish U a great Summer in Europe! And then, U gotta come back to NYC

What did you think?

I was there May 5-7. I think somebody here said like this, Prince has slowly returned. That perfectly fitted to what I thought. Paisley Park show in 2009 really convinced me that he would do it again; my favorite song is still Purple Rain, though, he seemed to be trying to take back the original feel and sense. Some Welcome 2 America in NJ/NYC were not so great but when I saw he danced again I was very happy because PRINCE doesn't mean only vocal or guitar but also his one shrug or one nod or every single action. And then, February 7 show totally enchanted me like now I don't have to turn back his golden age because I have PRINCE in 2010, 11... I know he's not writing like before but he has been struggling to take back the audience, in other words, POP LIFE. The load of his job, adding to his triumphant guitar solo, very unique and workaholic rhythm guitar playing also impressed me. And when his voice started to go wrong on May 6, he didn't hesitate to go further more. Shouts on May 7 as if he was trying to burn out any time! I couldn't find that soul much at Coachella or Ganesvoort show in NYC or C3LAbration. So I seriously worried about his alleged hip/back condition. But now he seems okay, so I feel like I want to thank God, whatever His name is.

Seems like you got it right.. Just enjoy the music... Feel the man express himself & feel free to express yourself.... Are you planning on catching any of the Europe Tour dates???

I can't afford Europe this year. But he really seems to be back in Fall, just my guess, though, strong one. Meanwhile, here it comes! See? Prince_Live tweets "Leaving NY never easy." But what the hell does that mean? Is he now here?!
