More pointless shit at 12 too.
'12. He's looking at recording all the shows he does in London. "
Awesome, more stuff for the vault.
It winds me up when he says shit like that. If he's goning to release them I'd be all over it, lapping them up but we know that isn't going to happen, so this is just pointless taunting. He infuriates me. How can you love and hate one artist so much at the same time. RIP  | |

If a director can't take a half day because he feels like it something is wrong with the world! Surely those 200 could keep things running? Or could the board give you the boot? I'm supposed to be interviewing today and tomorrow. I'm not going to cancel someone's job prospects for a chance of a gig. A guaranteed gig.....then that's a different story.  . | |

Can anyone in Camden report on what queues are looking like? If he is playing the same place tomorrow I will be going and need a good idea of what time to get there. I got two sides... and they're both friends. | |

LEWISTAYLORFAN said:I just come from EB it closed nothing on the door. Prince tonight (February 4) played a secret, hour-long show at Electric Ballroom in Camden, London. Described as an “open soundcheck”, the performance was announced following a clandestine ‘press conference’ at the home of London-based singer-songwriter Lianne La Havas, who was in attendance at the venue. News of the secret show broke from the Twitter account of Prince's manager Kiran Sharma, and – despite the tube strike – fans responded quickly, piling from buses and taxes into the queue, where the main topic of conversation was when – and if – Prince would appear on stage. The most popular rumour was 3am. It began, instead, at midnight. The first part of the show was for press and guests only, meaning Prince and his three-piece band Third Eye Girl (pictured in 2013) were initially playing to a small, but very vocal, audience. Taking to the stage in a fur gilet, heavy chains and sunglasses, Prince told the crowd, “Y’all don’t look like press to me,” before striking up the first song. Members of Mumford & Sons were present, including banjo player Winston Marshall who danced against the barrier throughout. The meaning of an “open soundcheck” quickly became apparent – though delivering a precise performance with plenty of interaction with the audiences, Prince frequently signalled to his sound engineers to change the levels on his guitar and vocals while playing. The loose set, largely comprising new material, included ‘Guitar’ – during which Prince tossed his shades at a waiting technician – ‘Plectrum Electrum’, ‘PretzelBodyLogic’ and ‘Funk N Roll’. “We like you!” shouted a heckler at one point. “You’re not so bad yourself,” replied Prince. After around 30 minutes – and a cover of Wild Cherry’s ‘Funky Music’ – Prince declared, “That was the soundcheck, come back tomorrow for more”, and made off. At this point, the doors were opened to the fans queuing outside. Quickly returning to the stage, the band played ‘I Could Never Take the Place of Your Man’ from 1987’s ‘Sign O The Times’ and a sing-along ‘I Like It Here’. In a third encore, the band concluded with ‘Cause & Effect’, during which Prince declared the mood so sexy “someone’s going to get pregnant tonight.” Though no more than a couple of hundred people were present, Prince said it felt like “10,000”. He exited at 1am telling the crowd, “We will be here tomorrow, a bit earlier and a lot funkier.” After the show, La Havas described her day as “unforgettable – an amazing day.” Fans Sam Bysh and Kate Moon Martyr, who had queued outside, said the show was “unbelievable” and “beautiful”.

I'm only 2.5 miles from the venue but I can't go there and queue up.
If it gets to 1:30 and there's no queues reported I could jump in a cab though. RIP | |

Just seen where? I can probably nip out of work at 2pm and head to the Electric Ballroom, but I can't be gone longer than an hour so this information needs to be accurate. | |

Where did you see that please? | |

Ah bummer.
Does seem pretty guaranteed though, or at least as anything ever is in Prince land. Normally I'd be able to get there and queue but right at the end of an important deadline and can't make it. Well, I could do so but it wouldn't go down very well. Plus my wife coulnd't go tonight and so while I could go without her I don't really want to.
Later in the week hopefully RIP | |

AAARGH!
I'm in London on business (from Scotland). I can't get over to the venue at 2pm. Anyone willing to grab me a ticket, please orgnote me. I can be at the venue around 6pm, I think.

Exactly this, I could call off work and be there in perhaps an hour but not doing it until something is concrete. | |

Nothing on the usual Electric Ballroom ticket seller portals - Tickmaster, Ticketweb, etc, so looks like "walk up", which makes sense. | |

I should say, I'd be happy to pay a fee for this service
Just can't let the coincidence of being here when there's a gig on go to waste, if I can avoid it.
