Not sure where you are getting your facts from. There was no Gold Experience Tour in The USA (he did not even tour in The US from 94-96 - he just played at Glam Slam, Paisley Park & a few benefits - his next tour in '97 - The Jam Of The Year was the weakest one that I ever saw), The Lovesexy Tour was a huge sucess in The USA and he definitely does not do better shows anywhere - he does great shows everywhere. I have not seen him in Europe but I have dozens of recorded shows incl the 21 nights and none are any better than the shows that I have seen in NYC or any US recordings. As for these current shows, I believe he's having fun and the shows are sold out so what's the problem? (let me guess - you can't seem to get into the shows) Everyone tries to put him in this box, they think he should do things like everyone else does but he refuses. That is what makes him so great! I would love if he came to NYC and did this type of thing.

I agree, Prince we love him in the UK/London /Europe but No Way would his shows be better than his US gigs due to the fact he is an American the small cultural change shows in his performances....

that said .... Prince understands like Jimi Hendricks, Motown artists etc..our UK/European passion and fandom for his music - which is far greater than the US - Hits or Not - Chart Placings or Not! , New Artist or Goldern Oldie cool

I do agree that he seems to be more popular in Europe. He's still huge in the NJ/NY area & in LA but not so sure about the rest of the country. Same deal with Springsteen. Europeans seem to respect a lot of American artists over the years more than Americans themselves especially with jazz artists.

Call it bullshit then.

My statement was:

I have some additional info (not about location) and feel he will play tonight with a special guest.

So it was bullshit then, as nothing happened.

and then today it happens and you havent a Scooby.
