LondonIrish1970 said: Yes, tickets available on Ticketmaster, standing up behind seated area, £93. Odd advice on the site is 'tickets should be printed no later than 24 hours before the event is due to take place'
Cant help but think cant be bothered with all this late minute hanging on here n rushing over to Camden. I had a seat, but instead stood behind. Excellent view. . | |

Went to the Roundhouse on the off chance around 8ish and they had tickets at £94 seated, no standing...I walked away! I heard part of Kiss and all of The love we make while I was queuing, Iwas tempted but knew the sound wasn't gonna be great. Shame | |

Wow. What a phenomenal performance. People will see the set list and say dull. But of the 6 I've seen this year, this is right up there if not the best. The sound was PERFECT and p was on rare form tonight. You could tell he was feeling it. Almost two hours heaven. | |

The sound was PERFECT and p was on rare form tonight. You could tell he was feeling it. Almost two hours heaven. Didn't play anything earth-shattering (although the inclusion of "A Case of U" was nice), but Prince played with real energy & passion and the crowd were pretty good. I thought he played a superb version if Little Red Corvette - rolled backthe years by climbing on the speakers, some great riffing between him and Donna on ICNTTPOYM and even Purple Rain, which usually bores me, was great - superb guitar build-up. His comment at the end, saying he'll never forget this place makes me think folks are right about this being his last trip to Europe. Not my favorite gig of his this year, but certainly high up. Now, more importantly, has Strawberry Bubblegum located Squirrelmeat...? "Had to get off the boat so I could walk on water..." | |

Just back from 1st show - too many hits. Pure raving to begin with, then some nice guitar work.
Security was insane. Anyone who got their phone out was marched out the back to reset their phone to factory settings. | |

Totally rocking version. The funny thing about that was that it allowed me to pick out all the casual fans: as soon as it started playing, lots of people were looking for Prince, thinking he was singing it live.

Too true - after the Led Zep O2 gig Robert Plant rocked up to the Marathon for a kebab and bottle of voddie. | |

Hmm... that reminds me. Remember during 21 Nights when he stayed at The Dorchester? I hope he hasn't done that again - someone tell him he has to join the protest against The Sultan of Brunei... "Had to get off the boat so I could walk on water..." | |

And put a bunch of minimum wage people out of a job? That doesn't really make sense. | |

But supporting a Hotel owned by a country which has imposed Sharia Law is a slightly bigger issue. A line has to be drawn in the sand. And Prince likes to Walk In Sand (see what I did there..?)

I've been lucky enough to see many P gigs over the years, but have to say that tonight (first show) was up there. You could tell that he was in such a good mood - really loving it. His voice just seems to get better and better. "London, i've adopted a name that has no pronounciation.... is that cool with you?"
"YEAH!!!" "Yeah, well then fuck those other fools!" | |

I've been told he's done Electric Intercourse in the 2nd show. I knew I shouldn't have been sensible and bowed out after the first one! | |

I've got a hunch there will be more surprises and will go to 1am... Hoping for a last min gig tomorrow before he heads out of the UK... AlSo the comment before about rage against the machine... Guessing you mean "what's my name" from Crystal Ball.. "Still Crazy 4 Coco Rock" | |

Witnessed the first show - totally awesome, fantastic sound and performance. If you asked be beforehand, I'd have preferred a non-hits set (I was hoping for Bambi & Dreamer). But the kid was in rare form tonight. Thanks Prince | |
