Twitter? Wasn't the internet dead? And don't you have friends? Don't you research any options beforehand? Pills and thrills and daffodils will kill... If you don't believe me or don't get it, I don't have time to try to convince you, sorry. | |

I thought the aftershows wernt heavily publicised. Is he really going to show up at the Ivy to play or is it just an after party with Djs? | |

Good point. It does say 'Prince and NPG present"... Latest track: https://soundcloud.com/li...-connexion | |

Does he normally do more than one after show? Here's still hoping for Melb on Monday. | |

So no news on Melbourne shows yet? Hmmm. How did word get out about Ivy? Twitter? announced at concert? | |

Cassandra O'Neal @CassyQTkeys 1 show down….9 to go! See you again 2moro Sydney, same time, same place!
So 8 full blown concerts, 1 show at Ivy = 9 1 down, and 9 to go can only mean another gig, but where and when?
I think the promoters already know, and hopefully it is in Melbourne. I saw PE have moved their upcoming gig to The Palais a few weeks back which got me thinking someone else wanted the venue.
He better not have it down at Crown at 26 or whatever the new club there is called. | |

I was going to mention the same tweet as you, so hopefully it is in Melbourne, which isn't good news for Brisbane. Where were PE supposed to be playing before being moved?
Did the first announcement of the aftershow come from Ivy? So can we expect similar here in Melbourne? This is killing me. I cannot miss this. | |
| - E-mail - orgNote - Report post to moderator |
i don't want to miss it either. say he announces it during a show, or that venue does, before you know it you already miss out on tickets sold on ticketek. how is it an aftershow then? i have to see him, if there is only the slightest chance | |

PE were meant to play at The Palace (Old Metro) on the 15th. Moved to the Espy according to the Palace web site. And there is another gig there Wednesday night, so maybe Monday night for an after show??
The Ivy gig was apparently tweeted by the Ivy, and also mentioned on Ticketek facebook page.
The promoters are doing a bad job so far, mentioning the Ivy gig and link when it had already been on sale for hours and the first 75 tickets allocated sold.
I noticed on the Ticketek sale page you could only purchase 2 tickets in 1 transaction. [Edited 5/11/12 7:56am] | |

yes exactly my point also at the ivy it was said to be 400 tickets on sale, that is nothing. i also checked the palais theatre website, a bunch of up coming gigs but i couldn't find any on the prince concert dates. i have to look closer it seems. | |

you mean the one in st.kilda right? | |

The Palace Theatre is on Bourke Street in the city - www.thepalace.com.au
PE has been moved to The Espy from Tuesday 15th at The Palace, so this could be a possibility.
I checked The Hifi and nothing advertised for 14th or 15th there, so another possibility.
It could be anywhere. Blah. | |

I am hoping The Palace because I am staying real close by, and will not have to walk far
oh and Tram Stop #9 is right outside for those heading to St Kilda or Brunswick. This line gets me to the pubs I crawl around when I come over on beer drinking weekends [Edited 5/11/12 8:06am] | |

I saw that too. Some dude got everyone in his office to buy two tix. It was an entertainment and promotions company too.Bloody inside job.
It's so frustrating that everyone who was on their way to the gig (and the Peach & Black meetup) missed out unless they were glued to FB or Twitter.
Luckily the ticketing company doesn't reflect the quality of the shows.
Can't wait for Melbourne! | |

a few true fans got tickets, from what i see on fb. not many though, maybe 4 or 5 people all together. then there is that guy/gal on twitter too, also true fan. so i guess they were glued to their social media outlets. i am going to have the spend the rest of my life knowing i will never see an aftershow by prince which fans have been telling me is a must see. maybe in another decade, makes me wanna say shoop bed doo. | |

Afterj at ivy Do not think prince intended to perform. That was not his guitar ( & he was not happy with it as it would go out of tune & he re-tuned as he played) Think it was intended to just b npg performing. After 1 hr of dj rashida Then 40 mins of npg w girls singing crowd chanted 4 prince. He came on reluctantly I think using I think the bass girl ediths guitar Think it was intended as post gig cool down. Looked to me at one pt that prince told whole band to get up and leave. Ivy people encouraged crowd to chant prince. Think seal helped smooth it over by singing some prince lyrics over slow grooves. Prince the consummate professional played some unbelievable ripping guitar solos. Could see ivy guy looking with much thanks at seal for smoothing it over. Think ivy would have been in big crapper w audience if no prince. If it was supposed to be no prince , then in aust I think we'd want to know that prince's band the npg was performing and that prince would be in the house but chilling , not performing. But cos it was described as Prince + Npg the I think it was fair for us Aussies to expect him to perform Place was full of ivy only people who had not been to concert, & did not know the other songs played - India arie , gill Scott. Don't think they recognized public enemy guy. Fortunately they did recognize & respond to seal. For me to be a few people from the front & see p perform incredible g solos was something I'll never forget & I feel truly priveledged to have witnessed it. ( I missed the basement one 10 yrs ago cos being a keen fan I had bought tix to the 1st show) Thank you prince for stepping up & filling void. Hearing that u prepare for a tour by jamming each song for 20 mins means that I guess your band is always ready to do anything. Before attending the afterjam my assumption was that the stadium would have the hits , while the aftershow would be songs from your latest or last few albums. A chance for something intimate with those who follow u closely. ( I know p doesn't read these but can't help but put it that way). Also think the non-prince fan tourists up th front who kept Turing w their ba k towards prince , so the person could take a pic with p behind them prbly did not help. Of course I could have this all wrong. Shelby kept saying ready to party to dawn. It is possible that they had planned a few hrs of npg only the p later. But I doubt it as I really do not think that was p's guitar. It looked more like that because he is so incredibly gifted he can rip an amazing sound out of anything. Also better say that each member of the band , bass player especially , performed to very high levels. I honestly say this. Loved it all. Guess I'd have to check the story next time b4 getting excited about aftershow. In relation to the stadium gig sat 12 may think we were v lucky and had fantastic performce. One review for fri night panned the use of an acoustic g for purple rain , so we were lucky and p played electric tonight. Incredible performance. If we were in US/Europe & had had many chances to see the usual version of purple rain we might be more open to variations. Ideally one would have seen each tour after each album to see each song performed live w bridge & solo. Kind of wish he would be like roger waters and take each albums tour on the road Or release each year a bluray of a live performance of songs from each album so we comprehend and witness how much went into each song for each album. Wishful thinking I know. Will just be greatful I was able to hear the music & and also able to hear it performed live. | |

Sorry typos fixed... Also think the non-prince fan types up the front who kept turning w their back towards prince , so the person could take a pic with p behind them , did not help. ( ie could see p was pissed off each time someone pulled out their camera/ phone. ) | |

Thanks a lot for the review. Sounds like P almost wasn't gonna play?? I like the pics in the other thread but damn, they are right in his face with them, kinda surprised that happened without incident. | |

I'm just really hoping if the Melb aftershow is announced that it doesn't go on sale whilst I'm on the plane flying over! | |
