Just listened to a tape of the first hour of the show of the 27th: unmitigated rubbish. A band that sounds barely rehearsed, endless medleys and jams, a predictable and boring song selection, an overdose of pointless covers (mostly for the benefit of "showcasing" the backing singers), Prince shouting instead of singing,...

I hope Prince watches that 1982 performance that "leaked" a couple of days ago, and hangs his head in shame.

//::/I think you are lying. You did not hear a tape of the show and everybody knows Prince rehearses his bands.

Um, the show is out and I've stated fpor awhiler that prior to the 27th, the only folks rehearsing were 3EG, everyone else in the NPG was off doing their own thing; they werent in MPLS at Paisley like Hannah,m Donna and IDA

I downloaded videos of the show yesterday. It's almost the whole concert from the 27th. It's out there.

Anyone notice on Fri night that he used an 80's GoGo Beat on a couple of tunes? I have never heard him do that before.

Then you haven't been paying attention.

Name some examples. Most people on here would not even know what we are talking about. They are more interested in his hairdo or attire!

You talk a lot about things you know little about. Fri wasn't the best Prince show that I've seen over the last decade but "A band that sounds barely rehearsed"? Boring song selection"? "endless medleys and jams?" You were not there so why bother commenting? A tape of the 1st hour? Off the soundboard I'm sure! The show was 2 1/2 hours!

Hey what just leaked from 1982 as mentioned above?

Now how much sense does comparing a controversy concert to a 2013 show make?

None!

I had an awesome time. I must like rubbish

Isn't it funny? Pretty much everyone that actually goes to a Prince show comes back and raves about how great it was.

Yet geniuses like Bart who weren't there at all have absolutely no problem telling you how crappy the show was that you just attended.

Great picture bashraka I'm at the after show. Looks like it will be liv show to start

Yeah, great picture. As for Liv show, that's the main reason I didn't go to the aftershow. Saw enough of her and Shelby @ City Winery and on Friday to last me the rest of my life.
