Totally agree! this is meant to be a thread on the May 11th show, not bloody grown men whinge and bitching about everything Prince does, its really creepy and embarrasingly sad.

milesb said: demaris lewis sang a bit and mainly did some beyonce style booty shaking with the usual "im scared of you" Prince comment. Dance Electric was basically the same as you heard on the rehearsal snippet. Except with worse sound So basically she was there for looks...i think it's pointless to have an extra dancer when he already has the twinz which have grown on me. I think he believes he needs to keep a young girl beside him to be cool. He could have easily just repositioned andy to do that if that's all he wanted or just had the twinz. Trying to stay relevant by having young chicks around is tired and in my eyes just makes him look even older and out of touch. Sad that dance electric was just a jam...although the rehearsal was pretty funky! | |

I'll stop going on about the sound now. Maybe I'll focus on ranting about the aftershow debacle tomorrow night. Shame I aint in the Sydney elite
There some cool stuff there, really like the t-shirt with the orange circle.
More pics please! FUNKNROLL! "February 2014, wow". 'dre. | |

I want somebody to tell me what he was wearing, too. We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

From what I've heard andy wasn't there...andy mckee is the new guitarist for this tour and damaris lewis seems to be his new muse of the moment. According to prince photo gallery facebook andy was in attendance but no she didn't perform. [Edited 5/11/12 12:11pm] [Edited 5/11/12 12:12pm] | |

I'm confused that some r saying Andy Allo wasn't there as Prince Vault says that she was. Maybe a mistake on their part? Yes, I wanna know what Prince was wearing too! Photos please!!! And was there a support act? Boogie Woogie Bugle boy- I love that song so, so much! Wish I had been there  | |

Idk she's not in any of the pics on this page https://www.facebook.com/...otoGallery and guests said she was there but didn't perform. I may be in the minortity but i liked her energy during the shows and the playfulness she brought out of P during her time touring with the band. But i agreee guitar playing wasn't suitable for the NPG | |

The guitar died midway through Let's Go Crazy so we got no solo at the end of the song, PRince was NOT happy and chucked his guitar hard......and then we got 1999 & Little Red Corvette with no Prince on guitar but it was good that it forced him to do something different than the same old stuff..

I want somebody to tell me what he was wearing, too. His hair is a short lil fro pretty much like when he last came to Sydney in '03. I was expecting the worst after 'that' latest promo pic w the sword but thankfully he didn't look or wear an outfit anything like that. He wore a gold suit n boots. Under the jacket was a black long sleeve top with a huge purple heart on the chest. Later changed into black pants n boots. He looked GOOD. Which as I said, was a relief!! |

You know they are. Hopefully he will retire them once the Welcome 2_____ is over. I got to admit no one could rock this look and still make it "werk"

A few things:
1. The Sydney Morning Herald review of the show is a joke.. Just a few sentences of some petty whinging.. Next.. 2. Dance Electric was played as a song w verses included, not just a lengthy jam 3. Love Thy Will Be Done was a surprise highlight of the night w Prince on vocals and playing a searing lead guitar part at the end 4. The guitar issues.. He played Let's Go Crazy, we got the first guitar solo & then went into I think Delirious and possibly something else, so he put the guitar down for a while and danced around until somehow we made our way back into the "Go Crazy..." breakdown. Then when the guitar was handed back he turned it up and it just made a loud humming sound ( sometimes happens when effects pedals are not plugged in the right way ). He stomped a few pedals to see what was going on then just casually took off the guitar and tossed it in the air to his guitar tech to fix. Thus aborting the guitar solo ending of Lets Go Crazy.. Which admittedly I was looking forward too (who isn't???) but he did not miss a beat and just improvised around it.. after all if there is one thing this guy does bloody well people is it not improvising?? It wasn't such a big deal as people may think 5. I think the show was amazing despite what some have said. Definitely waaaay better than the show I saw in 03. my seats then weren't the best and I remember it being very subdued and most sitting in their chairs all night but last night was like a giant friggin house party!! He really made the whole arena feel small. And such a diverse crowd! I had good seats where everyone was up and now my feet are sore from non stop dancing and my voice is shot from screaming all night but I have to pull myself together to do it all again in afew hours hahaha.. My only slight disappointment was in the encore. He made us cheer for aaaaages then FINALLY came back & bashed out a quick rockin version of Peach which was great but that was it, he left abit prematurely when everyone was there primed ready for more and still going nuts. He could've played more but for whatever reason chose not to. Oh well... 6. He played the Hohner tele all night! No strats! No whammy!!! Rant over. [Edited 5/11/12 16:37pm] |
