He is a douche. After 25 years and 30 concerts I finally realized you were right all along. Last night in Ahoy, most part of the show there were a string of lights in de video wall behind the stage defect. He kept on playing and never ordered his people to go and fix it, while he must've seen it. He didn't offer us a refund.

He started of with Gold. Gold for crying out loud. That's a song from the 94-95 era. Why does he play that?
One of his backing singers wasn't there. Apparently she was injured. He even let Ida sing a part. What a disgrace. He didn't even apologize. Did we get a refund? No!
Andy Allo clearly wasn't a styled musician as the others. She stood there holding her guitar, barely able to play the right chord. Is this Prince's famous band we're supposed to watch and pay good money for? He even let her sing.
Three times he let people on stage to dance and have fun. And always people from the frontrows.
He played nothing but well known songs the entire night. Well, at one point he played Chocolate, and people around me didn't know that song. They felt really bad that they couldn't sing along to it. He also played almost all full versions of the songs, no medleys or snippets. How dare he.

Between the encores he even had the house lights turned on, as if to say "it's over".
But what blew me off the most, is that almost 11.000 people, up to the last row in the stands were dancing and clapping and having a great time throughout the entire concert. Disgusting.

you had me going for a minute there! I haven't been checking the Concert threads much, but did he really play Gold?!?!

eta: Holy crap, I just read the setlist, I guess Andy wasn't lying when she said they learned some new songs. Looks like he's mixing things up nicely lately, also Empty Room?

TOTALLY!

I just realized that at one point he said It's gonna be a beautiful night, he made us sing the oo-ee-oo part, and then he didn't play the song. Which artist does something like that.

The show was nice, short and not very special (play PR after GOLD?!).

If you have seen the first ten shows of this tour you can miss this one.

Thanks for that - made me laugh a lot!! As mentioned in many threads - his concerts are so great and I am so looking forward to zurich!!

Master of sarcasme!

If I wouldn't know you any better I would be worried...lol

Where you near the soundboard?! Me (us) too! in front against the fence.

Gold on the radio now....!

I was on the left or the board, same height a few metres away . I thought about standing there, but I was too late. Traffic was hell!

I misenterpretated soundboard cause I mean the soundpit where the soundtechnicians work. So I was in the middle in front of that spot. It was a bit higher there and I thought I would oversee..but then I should have known better cause no taller men or women then in Holland... But pretty could spot afterall. I could have been more in the front but I brought my dad along and he needs a bit of space. Traffic was hell indeed, jams, delays and detours...It took us 2 hours instead of 1. But in the end worth all effort!

That's what I meant too I just wasn't in front of there like you, but on the left, a few metres away from you.

You forgot to mention that PR was the second song of the night, like WTF, I dont need to go to the loo so early into the gig...

Dude, pur-leeeaaase! U just made me realise something: we need Bart. He is like those two old guys in the balcony at the Muppet show. Keep us entertained, Bart!

That is a perfect description of him, but silence is also golden.
