do u know any grown black men with a full dark afro?

it's not real (but fans just can't admit it)

but it is more practical because he can just throw it on ten or fifteen minutes before a gig - so he won't have to PAY a hairstylist

and with make-up he probably has Ida help him with that

but I love the new video clip because it just proves that 3rdeyegirl can play funk!!

errr, so your complaint is he played an amazing setlist

.

Yes, how amazing it is to hear Purple Rain and a sampler set. <snore> The rest of it -- intimate venue and three shows in one night -- are cheap attention grabbing ploys, to show what a special snowflake he is. Musical value? ZERO.

.

Now go listen to the 1988 Trojan Horse aftershow, which took place mere hours after a full Lovesexy show (i.e. one where the band didn't just perform an astonishingly varied setlist, but also danced on a huge stage): listen how the IMPROVISE on the spot, playing fresh, new music. It's so good that it means the recording from that night still is a highlight.

.

These three gigs? Bleh. Throwaways.

Oh my god. Oh my god! After all these years youre still on the same rant? Your record got stuck and you never bothered to fix it.

How sad.

I don't want to be negative, but in a way i agree with Bart. I went to Prince in Antwerp this week and thought he was great that night : played allmost 3 hours, and was in a very good mood. In other words, he gave it all that night

Now....back to the shows yesterday ... it is not possible to give yourself 100 % in 3 shows in 5 hours... so in that way i agree with Bart. It seems to be an easy way to get some extra money for the band.

I feel the same about the Paris concerts this week...why 2 shows in one night ?? The shows in Paris cannot be as good as he played Antwerp last week, as he cannot perform 2 100 % shows....

Nevertheless..... to all you people who are going to Paris, Berlin of Vienna : have fun and enjoy !

U got to be kidding me....lol

Man...fuck this place....

I saw lots of Prince concerts from the 80s (I think the first was in 1982 during the 1999 tour in Michigan)...so I think I have a good experience about it (not only by the records).

I really don't understand some of the comments on this forum (generally coming from people who didn't see the show...only the setlist). This concert was great...nothing else to say (except you should be there).

Cheers.

It was no aftershow, so I think the set list is ok...

dandan said:

Someone just tweeted that he staged dived Is this true?!?!

Yes he did. He apparently teased to do so in the first or second show (as Simonart wrote in his review), and he actually did it in the third show. I couldn't believe my eyes.

BartVanHemelen said:

This shows you how weak 3EG are: these three intimate "aftershows" are basically excerpts from a regular show.

.

And yet the famz will still defend this, even though they claim that P plays the hits "because otherwise the big halls won't fill, but the aftershows will contain the deep cuts". Oops, didn't count on the band still sucking the big one after 18+ months.

You still don't get it, do u Bart....

Turn down that obsession.......

These shows were never advertised as "aftershow". Just regular shows, with "regular" music.

Exactly not advertised as an aftershow. I think Prince fans are some of the most spolit people ever. Take a seat back folks and relax. Who the heck does this these days? Tell me one artist? He has to make a living too and i would happily go and see him for a snippet of that show. Also unrelated but i really think this is his unofficial purple rain anniversary shows and i think he looks humble at the end. And err yeah get rid of that fro ffs! He looks so good without it and err hello biceps

eggsactly my point... I think the fans in Brussels had a good xperience...

it's real and he has both a hairstylist and makeup artist. of course if you were upfront at any of the shows you could see for yourself

If anyone witnessed 'the stage dive' I would love to know what happened lol Seeing the youtube clip 3rdeyegirl put up it looks like everyone had a good time

I was in front of the stage in Amsterdam. Right side of the fro had a loose strand of hair. And the back of the fro had a square in it. I think he's got some kind of hatch back there, an access panel to a towel or something funky of any kind. Really interesting stuff

Really? Wow..you mean an actual strand of hair? Back on topic. So did you go to the show? If you did, what did you think of it?

That's what I'm saying. He could put guitar picks in there, afro rakes, Play in the Sunshine Incense....

In the second show he 'stagedived' back first into the crowd on the left side. He was onstage in seconds, and pretended to jump headfirst into the crowd, but it was only pretending.

During the second show Prince did the same on the right side, falling backwards into the crowd. But this time the folks were a lot less prepared, he almost fell down to the ground. But in the end they caught him before the concrete did, end he ran off without the shananigans he tried after his first stagedive.

So, anybody want to fixthesetlistup? Things I think Princevault's got wrong:

Show 2:

Play that funky music after Live it up

U got the look was NOT played

Show 3:

I Would Die 4 U was only a snippet before something else, I think SOTT

[Edited 5/31/14 18:12pm]

Yeah, i was at the 2.Show and it was incredible. He did the stagedive and i couldn´t believe my eyes. He was in such a good mood, the sound was perfect. Of course it was a short show but i think nobody was disappointed because the atmosphere was unique.

Here is the correct Setlist :

FunkNRoll
Controversy
1999
Little Red Corvette
Nothing Compares 2 U
Let's Go Crazy
Take Me With U
Raspberry Beret
Cool
Live it up
Play that funky music
Kiss

After the last 3. show i was waiting at the backdoor and saw him jumping in his Mercedes S-class and said : Thank u Prince, you are the best. He looked at me and nodded his head. It was a great moment. He was only 1 meter away from me.

Peace and b wild

Yeah yeah we all know you're always at the front....get over yourself will ya!! Lol

Well said

I was at the second show. Yes it was short & if I had my way he wouldn't have played any hits, but it was also magic...very intmate...I live across the street from the venue...so I can't describe how much I will cherish my memory...the crowd, the venue, the media speculation that went on for two days, my city & Prince!!!

oh & the police one officer with a K9 came running towards me in a state of panic,

asking me if it were true there was gonna b a 3rd show

Why is it that for decades, Deadheads were happy to hear their fav tunes over & over, but for a few Prince followers, it's a crime?

Ever been to a Dead concert? Its a completely

different party from a Prince concert.
