he did "i like it there", always a good live tune that one.
Jennifer Rigby Prince says he'll be back at the Electric Ballroom tomorrow - and all week #prince

I wish he would love him to pay in Leeds the academy would be perfect. I just know it's not going to happen though and if it is I bet I can't go because I won't be able to give enough notice at work to take time off. | |

Ok, in a taxi going there now, without doubt this will be a disaster...  )If it were not for insanity, I would be sane.

I was in the ballroom a few yrs back, Kele from Bloc Party did a gig there, getting nervous now in the back of a bumpy taxi... If it were not for insanity, I would be sane.

Wow. What an amazing night! Got to Camden at about 10.30, queued for a couple of hours in the rain with some great people - forgotten ur names already but u were beautiful! Doors opened at about 12.30 and there we were, probably 2 metres max from the man! Played I Like It There, Cause & Effect & then Love 4 One Another jam. I can't believe it. He was stunning and the atmosphere was truly love for one another - amazing. He thanked us & the venue for the short notice and apologised for the set not being longer. True gent who clearly appreciates his hardcore fans whatever the naysayers come out with! I can't sleep now!! Need to go Uptown!!  )) | |

Nothing more going on here, place is empty, did get to say hello to Lianne though... If it were not for insanity, I would be sane.

sounds like you have a good time what about the "love 4 one another" jam, i don't think i've heard that one yet? was it the bit at the end of "cause & effect" where they jam and he does the 'compassion' chant? i can imagine you're buzzing right now
and true love lives on lollipops and crisps | |

Just waiting for a bus home now. Soaking still. Great group of people waiting outside...so glad we all got in! Caught the end of I Could Never Take The Place of Your Man onwards. This London tour/hit and run/whatever is going to rock...in the true sense of the word. Good luck with tickets and announcements tomorrow all. | |

I was rooting for you! 😞 "We just let people talk & say whatever they want 2 say. 9 times out of 10, trust me, what's out there now, I wouldn't give nary one of these folks the time of day. That's why I don't say anything back, because there's so much that's wrong" - P, Dec '15 | |

Back home, 70 quid leaner than 2 hours ago...anyway, only bit of info that was on the grapevine to be heard, was that something will happen tomorrow afternoon. Overheard a phone conversation about "be there at 4.30pm and you will get in"
I guess in hindsight, I should have wandered off with Lianne and her crew, who were heading up the road to some place, but the mind never thinks like that in real time...
The next few days will be interesting... If it were not for insanity, I would be sane.

Yup, the love4oneanother chant was kinda in the middle of cause & effect. I guess its part of the same song - but im not so familiar with this track. The atmosphere in there was amazing. Prince was in a fun mood - lots of leading the audience in hand claps and and vocals - you know, separating the guys from the girls. It was short but sweet and an amazing surprise [Edited 2/4/14 19:10pm] | |

capacity of the ballroom is 1000.....by the time you arrive (from abroad) you are too late i guess....hopefully it will be chaotic today so the following days there will be an online sale...Dissapointing... By the way last nites gig was about 30 minutes i heard.... [Edited 2/4/14 22:28pm] | |

How are the tickets at the Ballroom normally handled? At the door? Presales? 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'm pretty sure they usually sell tickets in advance for the Electric Ballroom. But who knows what will happen tonight?
Normally I'd think this was a slam dunk to get in - I'm in Camden already; there's a tube strike which should prevent quite a few people getting here; it's cold and wet which might put a few more off; but annoyingly I'm working until 6.45pm and I have a feeling just rocking up to the door at 7pm isn't going to cut it. I strongly suspect I'd need to be there a bit earlier than that so it looks like I'm going to miss out.
Hope everyone who gets in tonight has a blast.
(Incidentally, I just walked past the Electric Ballroom and the only indication anything happened is a typed sign on the door saying "Please note - there is no 3am show". No information about tonight at all.) [Edited 2/4/14 23:06pm] | |

If you work nearby you will go over there to let us know what is happening, right?\ If the weather is bad and if it's a late show you might even get in... 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. | |
