During "Something In The Water" he appeared to be aiming the song at somebody on the left side of the audience. At first I thought it was just theatrics, but when he got up from the keyboard and walked over to the left, he looked over to the same place and said " I think we got a runner". That made me think that someone had left. Does anyone remember & did anyone see..?  "Had to get off the boat so I could walk on water..." |

dodger said: One of the best nights of my life. I've seen him 8 times but To see him up close (I was about 10 deep from his mic) was just unbelievable. I just stood there for 3 hours with a big stupid grin. . He's been accused by some of going thru the motions for a while but now he's totally energised and on top form. Having these young people around must keep him young and inspire him to mentor them . Great mixed set list with old classics and new stuff. But even the old classics sound fresh (even Take Me With U). Lots of highlights but I loved The Max and the new version of Something In The Water. . And how hot is Hannah. What was the song her and her husband danced to at the end? The remix of Pretzel was good, probably better than the original
stop this train was the new song at the end that hannah mimed and danced to with josh. princes vocal version of unexpected was played at the start (the song he wrote for liv), and it seems to be a different recording, not just different vocals, but similar instrumentation to liv's version. her album wasn't played at the start last night like the previous night and i think one or two other nights like kokos, but it's a great album and worth getting Thanks. So is Stop the Train an original song of theirs or Prince's? I've heard a bit of the liv album. The song Wow on the PA last night sounded good but Mojo said Wow is an instrumental so that'll be a shame if the one from last night doesn't get released |

Prince was also giving some girl in the crowd at the otherside from us a bit of a ribbing! He kept pointing at her saying "This is about u! U know this is about u!" Then he saw that this girl had gone from her spot & said something like "Oh, we got a runner! Don't worry u'll still b able to hear us from the street!" Ha ha God Knows what he was on about but it was funny! Then he told her she was wearing her jumper backwards or something & said "Where were u last night?! U shoulda been here last night!!" Bloody love Prince's banter when he gets started! Don't know if he was actually talking to this poor lass who did a bolt or if he was just on the wind up, ad-libbing! Things keep flooding back to me as I'm reminiscing on how outstanding last nights show was! [Edited 2/23/14 7:45am] She was near us on someone's shoulder and then got down. I got the impression she wasn't sure if he was encouraging her to let others see or just having some fun. Does anyone remember what he said about tickets and scalpers. I'm sure he apologised for the ticketing issues but don't know if it was my imagination?!?
It was the Girl with the headphones on he was commenting to next to the couple you mentioned she was feelin ill and had to leave Ok, though I reckon if he'd have been singing to me I'd have tried my damnedness to stay through the song! She must have been ill. |

Girl about 3 rows in had drawn a "third eye" on her forehead. She absolutely turned to blubber when Prince spotted her, pointed at her and then pointed at his own head. Hysterical. "Had to get off the boat so I could walk on water..." |

Yeah I remember that but I didn't see anyone. I thought it was theatrics too.
Finally after 3 weeks of drama, all 4 of us, made it into a show together, and onto the front row. |

Need another fix ASAP! Uh?  When we're dancing close & slow was such a quiet number with only Prince on the piano. Couldn't believe when he sang all the words!! 'When we're dancing close and slow I'm not afraid to let my feelings show I want to come inside of you, I want to hold you when we're through Can't you feel my love touching you?' WoW! Just  |

That's not the right order at all...
The Max was way lower down and Screwdriver much higher in the list for starters.. WDC was much later in the list too.. |

I agree. The idea of an arena show just seems like nothing compared to being a few feet away from him while he plays through rarities and b-sides with a stripped back band in a club. Don't think I'll be able to settle for anything but front row seats after last night. I got two sides... and they're both friends. |

I agree. I've always been more of a fan of the rock side of Prince, these shows have been like my dream, something you'd never ever expect to see. The idea of seeing Prince in these types of venues a few foot away just rocking out seems ridciulous, the three I went to are unforgettable memories for me.
Now its over and can't think where else to put it I want to say thank you to everyone for the information this month. Great to meet mikeyaddict and the fella from Leeds and be surrounded by people just as thrilled as I have been

Great to meet mikeyaddict and the fella from Leeds and be surrounded by people just as thrilled as I have been Back to real life now  Good to meet u too brother. Drinking some purple cool aid (ok, vin rouge!) and looking forward to a whole week off work. I'm to scared to put any music on yet - just trying to remember what I heard rather than let other things take over the purity of the memory! Not even gone on you tube or owt. We were fortunate. I might be over egging it a bit but I think something special and maybe even spiritual happened last night. The academy should be retired immediately. Comin str8 outta Preston... |

Hello Mikey! We were in the queue with u yesterday (dressed as an oven ready turkey)
4hr bus ride home last night and we were trying to do a set list but I couldn't do it. I was in a wierd state of tiredness/post show hyperness. [Edited 2/23/14 13:38pm] |

Well done on making it to ur bus! Really nice to meet u both too - hope u had a good spot in there. Don't believe I had no tall people in front of me…and had Purple Ronnie (Julian?) to me left - if I've not retired from seeing him live (how can I go again - surely yesterday can't be topped?) hopefully see u's at another show, take care and peace!

Yeah we got to the front row I know what you mean. It will be odd to go from this to an arena. Hopefully they will be back soon. See you again whenever that is! |

Uh? When we're dancing close & slow was such a quiet number with only Prince on the piano. Couldn't believe when he sang all the words!! 'When we're dancing close and slow I'm not afraid to let my feelings show I want to come inside of you, I want to hold you when we're through Can't you feel my love touching you?' WoW! Just 
He actually sang that? Sounds a bit risqué for him these days.. or did he change it to "come inside with you" or something?  |

Man i say he give up arena shows. The reviews of these shows as a whole have been some of the best I've read in a long time. Whether he plays rock funk jazz IDC. I need to see P in a club as soon as possible lol |

He sang the original lyrics, i'm 100% sure, I was listening for it At the end of How Come You Don't Call Me Anymore he said something like 'you know what i'm all about... S... E... X' He defintely spelt it out like that but the bit before it may have been different. [Edited 2/23/14 18:51pm] I got two sides... and they're both friends. |
