we were allowed into the paisley park parking lot at 9:00 p.m, where the parking lot monitor told us to stay in our vehicles, lights off, until the doors opened around 9:30.

.

once we were inside, the DJ played songs for us in the love4oneanother room while the animated movie Rio played onscreen. gotta love purple birds flying around the room hey

.

people were in a good mood, dancing and swaying around and just as the love4oneanother room filled up to a crowdy level, one of the giant gates to music heaven swung open, pouring us into the sound stage. equipment was already set up onstage, no scrim this time.

.

people mostly gathered round the stage at first, but gradually the crowd started grooving to the music while concert clips and clips from Soul Train videos showed onscreen.

.

we were treated to a clip of Jimi Hendrix as well - it was a music history lesson on the many outstanding contributions of the african american community to the american music scene. really, where would we be without the funk?

.

the DJ'd dance party went on for around an hour, then prince and 3rdeyegirl took the stage.

.

prince was dressed in a sombre shade of gray, no sparkles. he seemed to be in a serious kind of mood last night, not playfully joking around, but dedicated to the theme of the party which was, of course, the race riots in baltimore and freddie gray's untimely death in police custody.

.

i wish i could remember his exact words when he said something about being afraid to drive, clutching the steering wheel too tightly. i'm not sure, the sound was a bit fuzzed, but i believe he made reference to the harassment of black people by the authorities and how people living in chanhassen don't have to worry so much.

.

it was a bit heartbreaking, watching prince on stage, thinking about how many black people are unjustly detained by the authorities, how many innocents are dead because of an unfair and racially biased system.

.

thinking about what if it were him? when if the world lost prince himself due to the bigoted actions of some ignoramus in a uniform? how many centuries have to pass before we can accept the fact that humans beings come in many glorious colors and all are beautiful?

.

at one point prince used his keyboard to give us a long, off-the-charts ethereal groove that he seemed to be channeling from another planet.

.

which notion was confirmed moments later when he grabbed his guitar and asked us what an alien voice might sound like? then proceeded to show us with the strangest whirl of sound i've ever heard coming from a stringed instrument.

.

he didn't play for very long last night but he was very intense. i have no way of knowing for sure exactly what he was thinking about, but i'm guessing that's what it sounds like when doves come face to face with racial discrimination.

.

3eyegirl played a heavy three note drift, featuring the words 'baltimore, peace forevermore' which prince told us to sing along with and keep in our heads all the way out the door and back home to our destinations.

.

i don't think they played the new baltimore song for us - at least i don't remember hearing the lyrics which were released from a few days ago.

.

toward the end of the show prince told us we better watch out for each other, since we're all family. some of the crowd were allowed onstage and danced around up there with the band for a while.

.

last night wasn't just another dance party - he really gave us something to think about. the events in baltimore are clearly weighing heavy on his heart.

.

thanks out to the amazing crew at paisley park and prince. i think we all appreciate that you permitted us to join you last night!

Prince rocks Paisley Park

Posted by: Jon Bream http://www.startribune.co...78111.html

.

Two weeks after doing his own thing to celebrate Record Store Day at Paisley Park, Prince got topical again Saturday night at his studios in Chanhassen. In an invite posted on Twitter, he urged party-goers to wear gray to honor Freddie Gray, who died of injuries while in police custody in Baltimore. Earlier in the week, Prince’s publicist had distributed vague info about Prince recording a new – unnamed – song about the Gray incident. There was no release date but there was a graphic (below).

.

Prince didn’t offer a preview of the song -- either a recording or a live version -- on Saturday but he did thank the 500 or so fans for wearing gray. With 3rdEyeGirl, he performed for nearly an hour, starting with the timely “Chaos and Disorder” and “Dreamer,” which featured some extended guitar fireworks and an endorsement from Prince about not having to fear the Chanhassen police.

.

(Tell that to the woman from Philadelphia whose rental car was pulled over after the concert on the grounds that she was allegedly traveling 80 mph on Hwy 5, even though she had driven only from Audubon Rd to Powers Blvd., a stretch too short -- less than a half mile-- in which to accelerate to 80 mph. She didn’t get a ticket or much of an apology from an officer who identified himself as a Carver County sheriff.)

.

In a set devoid of his own hits, Prince covered the Tommy James classic “Crimson and Clover” and did his own “Guitar,” which segued into the instrumental powerhouse “PlectrumElectrum.” He encored with an interpretation of the Waterboys’ “The Whole of the Moon,” which featured Prince playing some phat and funky bass over a drum loop and no other musicians participating. It was an intriguing performance on a night with a full moon.

.

Like he did at the Grammys, Prince made a short but pointed speech. At night’s end, he referenced Baltimore, talked about how we need to take care of one another and then declared, “It doesn’t matter the color – we’re all family. You’re family, my family.”

.

Then, with the drum loop still playing, he sang “Baltimore, Baltimore, Baltimore, peace forever more” and then asked the crowd to sing along.

.

Don’t know if that’s a line from his new song, a tip of his stocking cap to Baltimore’s Edgar Allan Poe or just a smart ad lib.

Prince using his music and vision to give voice to innocent victims is just excellent!! Our World needs a voice that can bring attention to all the injustices taking place and once again bring All people together. Love4OneAnother. There's an extrodinary number of people of color treated unfairly, and many challenges we all face. The report says Freddie 'had eye contact' with the police officer. There's been beatings for even doing less. Seems like a perfect time for Prince to give voice on this critical issue. It's time for all good people to come 2gether and raise the consciousness of our World under a Funky New Groove by Prince If anyone can do it, Prince can

...."After a few moments of groovy funk bass playing, he stepped to the microphone and sang to the crowd: "U pictured a rainbow, but Eye held it in my hands. U had flashes, but Eye saw the whole plan…”

What followed was an unexpected and improvised version of the Waterboys hit, “The Whole of The Moon”.

Following a lively call and response period with the crowd, at Prince's behest a young woman walked to the front of the stage and began singing her heart out.

That woman was Detroit-born, Chicago-based Eryn Allen Kane, a singer who was invited to Paisley Park to record vocals on the new song “Baltimore.”

Contrary to reports that it was completed last week, Prince is taking time with the song to make it very special.

Fittingly, the live set ended with Prince inviting the audience into a communal chant of “Baltimore… Peace 4 ever more.”

Starts at NINE THIRTY. #PAISLEYPARK #DANCERALLY #PEACE the When this photo appeared the words that immediately popped out were DANCE RALLY FOR PEACE next, time and place, The request to wear something Gray blended so well into the background I wonder how many people missed it? I bet if it were written in orange it'd stand out more

I was looking around and I would say about 65% of the peeps there had "something gray" on so I do believe most people knew about it

He wants us to have it, he even edited it for that purpose.

Nice show.

FWIW:
See this.

It has a setlist and other info.

It also mentions:

On 12 May, 2015, the Prince3EG Soundcloud account offered an edited version of this show (as well as a portion of the pre-show DJ set) to stream. The 41:34 file (titled "Prince and 3rdEyeGirl - Dance Rally 4 Peace (Live from Paisley Park - May 2, 2015)" contains the tracks When Doves Cry / Now / Funknroll (Art Official Age version) and Peace, all from the Dudley D. DJ set, before the live versions of Chaos And Disorder / Dreamer / Guitar / Plectrumelectrum / The Whole Of The Moon (edited version). Crimson And Clover was omitted.

.

So it is not a full (complete) recording.

It was edited.

.

A couple weeks back, Prince invited fans to Paisley Park, his home/studio in Chanhassen, Minnesota, for a concert dubbed Dance Rally 4 Peace.

Fans were alerted of the surprise concert via social media, and were encouraged to wear the color gray in honor of Freddie Gray, the Baltimore man who was allegedly killed while in police custody.

Now, Prince has shared a full soundboard recording of the concert, which you can stream below.

The setlist saw Prince and 3rdEyeGirl perform “Chaos & Disorder”, “Dreamer”, “Crimson & Clover”, and “Guitar”. The encore included “PLECTRUMELECTRUM” and a cover of The Waterboys’ “The Whole of the Moon” featuring Prince playing bass.
