Is there any merchandise we can buy in this Tour?

Yes there is merchandise 4 this tour. Tees, posters, vinyl AOA and PlectrumElectrum, etc.

Strange that they would close off half the arena. He must not be so popular in Montreal I guess?

i am interested in a shirt. could anyone get me one?

hey guys

I look forward to the show on Saturday. Quick question - what are the ods the show starts at 8pm ? I am afraid I will be a little late...like 8.30-ish...I doubt that he will kick it off on time, but what do you guys think? Last time I saw him at the Bell Centre I *think* he was about 45 mins late...

nah, i think the bell centre is just waaaay bigger than any of the other venues he's played on the hit n run tour. Louisville Palace had around 2.5k each night, Fox Theatre in detroit had ~5k, Royal Farms in Baltimore had ~13.5k, Sony Centre in Toronto had ~3k. To me it just looks like he doesn't want to play to a larger crowd. Maybe he wants a different show than an arena show, or maybe he doesn't feel he can sell out a venue that's too large, who knows.

.

It's neat to note that the venues with the smallest capacity are the ones that got multiple shows. Like he's thinking, 'I'm going to make sure i sell at least 5k tickets a night...'

Hum, not sure, but the 5 times I saw him in 2011 he was right on time I think. With chance you'll just miss 3eg if they start the show.

U've been very lucky if Prince has actually started shows on time 4 U! I've been 2 many of them and the wait and delays can be excruciatingly long. This week's Toronto 8pm show started by 8:10 pm. The 11 pm show was much later due 2 the fact that the room had 2 be fully emptied and re-filled with patrons. Montreal, with its 1 show should not need 2 start right on time as there is no 2nd show.

As 4 "special guest 3RDEYEGIRL"... they are Prince's band, just like The Revolution and The NPG used 2 be. They are NOT opening the show. There is no opening act, unless a surprise act is booked at the last-minute. Listen 4 Prince 2 announce: "We are 3RDEYEGIRL." He is the lead singer of the band.

Oh it varies quite a lot depending on the situation. Sometimes there is an opening band, sometimes not. Sometimes he starts within 15 min of the posted time, sometimes not. I would probably try to be there at the posted start time and prepare to be patient.

It's not like other artists... like with the Who tour, after the first few shows set the pattern, you can count on the opening band coming out on time at 8 and the Who on stage at 9:15 every night. Prince isn't that predictable.

3rdeyedude said:

Nah...nothing strange about it. These shows are being announced just two or three days before showtime....Prince has proven time and time again that when he does a traditional tour he fills up 20,000 plus with no problem....But the Hit & Run gigs are far from traditional....

That's why most of the venues on this tour have been 13,000 seats and under....Because of the logistics and short notice style announcements of the Hit & Run gigs...

Getting ready!!! White pants and bolero, Purple top dressed!

Weeeeeeeeee!

Soon leaving my city for Montréal! Woot Woot!

Excited!

Great show

Many hits

As I walked into the venue I heard Wow and Funk n Roll, he then played Guitar, Lets Go Crazy Reloaded, and the the hits started to pour in - take me with you, raspberry berret, breakdown, when doves cry, sign of the times, hot thing, he played the piano a bit of diamond and pearles, more of how come you dont call me anymore, nothing compares 2 u, kiss, purple rain, the dance electric, cool/dont stop till you get enough, misty blue (i guess), i would die for you, controversy, little red corvette, housequake.

The order is messed up, but the show was great. I consider myself a hardcore fan, I really would have loved to hear the love we make, dmsr, the q of you, computer blue, etc, but he played a very enjoyable show.

Highlights of the show, to me personally when doves cry, sign of the times, which he played back to back. His voice sounded great, the sound was very good. People in the audience seemed very pleased with his performance.

It looked like they were able to reach full capacity (well, of the sections that were available). That being said, I got bumped up a level when I got to the arena, from section 222 to 117. Can't really argue with that!

Dont know if there will be an aftershow, I didnt stay long enough.

Last time he was at the Bell Centre I guess ppl werent impressed with his show, which is weird, I remember he played quite a few hits, anyhow, this one was the show for the casual fan and I think he made up for it.

Prince delivers a flawless, four-act performance at the Bell Centre

Erik Leijon, Special to Montreal Gazette More from Erik Leijon, Special to Montreal Gazette

Published on: May 24, 2015

With little advance warning, a purple storm rolled through Montreal on Saturday.

After announcing the concert only a few days beforehand, Prince delivered a greatest hits set at the Bell Centre as part of his HITnRUN pop-up tour.

“Look at how many we got here on just a few days’ notice,” Prince told the audience right before the two-and-a-half hour set’s fourth act. “I call that love.”

To fill up the floor and lower bowl of the Bell Centre in three days was, as Prince observed, an impressive feat. Putting on a surprise show of this magnitude also required a little bit of chutzpah. Perhaps even more audacious was his request for audience members to keep their phones in their pockets for the duration of the show. Surprisingly enough, most abided by the Purple One’s rule, while those who didn’t were warned by security. (Using a phone during the show was supposedly grounds for expulsion, but transgressors in my vicinity were spared such punishment.)

The early part of the set was an opportunity for the fit 56-year-old and his current backing band, 3rdEyeGirl, to engage in some beefy four-piece hard rocking. Following an introduction where they played behind a purple curtain, they opened with “Wow” and “Funknroll,” both tracks from their collaborative 2014 effort Plectrumelectrum. One of the members of 3rdEyeGirl, guitarist Donna Grantis, has a jazz performance degree from McGill University. (Prince briefly noted the Canadian connection, omitting the specifics.) The title track from the aforementioned album, also played early, might be as close as Prince will come to channeling Led Zeppelin.

The band added a four-piece horn section and three backing vocals from time to time, depending on how much funk was required, although it was the new material involving the Prince-guitar-bass-drum quartet that provided a little bit of intrigue in the earlygoing.

As the night progressed, the band shifted away from heavy guitars to unabashed party funk — eventually capped by a playful cover of Wild Cherry’s Play that Funky Music. Somewhere in between, nearly all of Prince’s 80’s hits were accounted for, while his 90’s material was largely pushed aside. Even Prince beginners who may have purchased a ticket on a whim likely came away satisfied, as he didn’t deprive them the opportunity to see obvious hits “1999,” “When Doves Cry,” “Kiss,” “Let’s Go Crazy” and “Raspberry Beret” delivered live in a straightforward manner. (Although “Let’s Go Crazy” was slower than on record.)

Depending on how you look at things, Prince and his band either played four encores or took four breaks. although each respite allowed them to change musical direction, as well as give Prince some solo time at the piano. “When Doves Cry” and “Sign O’ the Times” were performed that way after the first intermission, with Prince bathed in artificial moonlight. The third act was absolutely hit-laden with the likes of “Diamonds and Pearls,” “Forever in My Life,” “Little Red Corvette” and “Nothing Compares 2 U,” while the fourth act was ostensibly devoted to Purple Rain’s title track. They concluded the funky final stretch with “I Would Die 4 U.”

Invariably, Prince shows in Montreal will forever be compared to the two epic performances he gave during the Jazz Fest in 2011. Those intense four-to-six hour long extravaganzas were once-in-a-lifetime experiences, and those lucky enough to have been there likely considered this latest show to be slightly less adventurous.

To those who had never seen him live, and Prince alluded to them and their unique needs before kicking off “When Doves Cry,” Saturday’s HITnRUN show was a flawless introduction.

is a class act 4 keeping his promise to Canada, Eye wonder does he still have his sprawling manson that he shared with Mani...or did he demolish it? Or was she awarded it in the secret,sealed divorce settlement?

here's a review in french

the translation of the title in english is

Prince: tout feu tout funk au Centre Bell

MONTRÉAL - Le Centre Bell s'est enflammé samedi soir aux rythmes funk de l'inclassable et indémodable Prince. Un spectacle de deux heures dans lequel l'artiste a galvanisé la foule avec ses grands succès et ses compositions plus récentes.

On sait que le prince de la pop ne fait jamais rien comme les autres. La preuve encore avec ce concert-surprise annoncé au Centre Bell deux jours avant sa venue à Montréal.

Une habitude qu'il a prise pour sa tournée HITnRUN butinant selon ses goûts et ses humeurs les villes de l'Amérique du Nord à travers de retentissants passages éclair.

Et ce que Prince veut, son public le veut aussi. Il est apparu sur scène derrière un grand rideau violet entouré de son groupe du moment, les rockeuses de 3rdEyeGirl avec qui il a signé «PlectrumElectrum», l'un des deux nouveaux albums sortis simultanément l'année passée.

«Montréal!» a-t-il lancé plusieurs fois avant d'entamer le très cuivré Let's Go Crazy issu de son disque acclamé Purple Rain écoulé à 20 millions d'exemplaires. Tout Prince était là. Écrans géants et microphone décoré de son fameux Love Symbol, le chanteur clinquant ne s'est pas fait attendre pour mettre l'ambiance.

Le morceau R&B contemporain Guitar et ses envolées instrumentales ont donné le ton pour un spectacle débridé et généreux. Il n'y a aucun doute, la bête au charisme fou manie toujours les cordes de sa guitare électrique comme jamais.

Durant la première partie, on a pu entendre ses chansons les plus récentes telles Wow et Funknroll.

Ensuite, joueur, il a invité l'audience à scander «Montréal» en cœur. «Je suis content d'être parmi vous ce soir», a-t-il ajouté. L'iconoclaste a enchainé avec les chansons pop-rock Annah Welton Drum Solo, Take Me With U et The Beautiful Ones.

Fort de sa réputation scénique hors pair, il s'est alors délesté de sa guitare pour reprendre l'un des premiers succès de Michael Jackson, le morceauDon't Stop 'Til You Get Enough.

Cette version plus groove et jazzy que l'originale a donné l'opportunité pour Prince de se déhancher sur la scène.

À bientôt 57 ans, l'homme n'a décidément pas perdu de sa fougue. La foule n'en pouvait plus.

Dès les premières notes de Raspberry Beret, tous se sont levés pour applaudir et danser. Alors qu'il entonnait Hot Thing, titre soul-funk du disque Sign "☮" the Times, Prince a improvisé une piste de danse en invitant quelques chanceux à venir se défouler sur la scène avec lui.

Comme à son habitude, l'iconique leader a été généreux. Au moment de mettre sous presse, Rogers Nelson alias Prince, n'a jamais lâché son public des yeux.

Riche d'une carrière entamée en 1978, l'artiste multi instrumentaliste aux 34 albums a enchaîné à la guitare ou au piano ses plus gros succès commeLittle Red Corvette, When Doves Cry, Kiss sans oublier l'apprécié Purple Rain.

Une magnifique finale avec un moment fort, celui où il a chanté Nothing Compares 2 U, le superbe morceau repris en 1990 par Sinéad O'Connor.

another review in french

Prince au Centre Bell : Génial «HITnRUN» funk'n'roll

Prince aime créer l’émoi... Rappelons cette péripétie entourant sa venue surprise au Festival international de Jazz de Montréal en 2011. Deux concerts annoncés à la dernière minute au Métropolis où il a livré deux prestations pour le moins mémorables. L’étoile de la pop américaine a répété l’expérience au Centre Bell, samedi soir, à la grande joie de milliers d’amateurs qui ont assisté à tout un concert.

Là où Prince surprend peut-être moins, c’est quand on sait déjà que cet « effet de surprise » fait partie du concept de sa tournée actuelle qui s’intitule « HITnRUN ». En gros, il débarque dans une ville à la dernière minute, sans promo, et livre son show avant de déguerpir aussi rapidement qu’il est arrivé. Il faut donc deviner quelle cité sera la prochaine sur sa liste. Ouuuuuh. Les gens de Toronto furent d’ailleurs bien heureux d’accueillir le chanteur-compositeur au Sony Centre of Performing Arts, le temps de deux spectacles offerts à guichets fermés. À peu près tous les médias québécois ont d’ailleurs expliqué toute l’affaire au cours des derniers jours.

• Cindy Ord / NPG Records
• Cindy Ord / NPG Records

Peu importe la manière dont il s’y prend pour promouvoir sa musique, il semble que Prince n’a aucune difficulté à attirer les foules, même après tant d’années (début de carrière en 1978). Et sans l’ombre d’un doute, le prince du funk et du R’n’B a encore le magnétisme nécessaire afin de remplir des amphithéâtres. Et après avoir vu de quoi il était capable au Métropolis (l’un des meilleurs spectacles donnés dans cette salle sans doute), il y a quatre ans, on pouvait s’attendre à un autre concert de grande qualité à Montréal.

Dans l’œil du Prince

Sur la scène du Centre Bell, le Kid de Minneapolis était comme prévu accompagné de son groupe 3rdEyeGirl (créé en 2013, le trio de rock féminin comprend la batteuse Hannah Welton, la bassiste Ida Nielsen et la guitariste canadienne Donna Grantis), avec qui il a produit un gravé l’an dernier, Plectrum Electrum. Leur travail se caractérise par un son généreusement rock truffé d’un funk plutôt costaud. Soulignons qu’au même moment, Prince sortait un autre album solo intitulé Art Official Age.

Durant la première demi-heure, Prince et sa bande – en plus de ses trois acolytes féminins, il y avait quatre gars aux cuivres et trois choristes qui venaient et partaient selon les besoins -, ont envoyé plusieurs morceaux relativement pesants et chargés d’arrangements mélangeant le rock, le blues et le funk. Bref, le rendu se voulait pas mal fusion.

Parmi les propositions, on a entendu des récentes pièces de Prince & 3rdEyeGirl, dontWow et Funknroll. Très dynamique, His Purple Highness misait une fois de plus sur le clinquant, la redingote stylisée, les paillettes et les éclairages violets. Rapidement, on s’est senti comme pris dans l’œil d’une petite tempête.

À travers ce réussi raffut de bruits, la chanson Guitar, composée en 2007 pour l’album Planet Earth, a rappelé que Prince dispose d’une panoplie de succès (plus d’une trentaine d’albums en carrières). Let’s Go Crazy, U Got the Look, Raspberry Beret, 1999, Take Me With U, Purple Rain ou encore l’indémodable et jouissive chanson Kiss ont également été offertes durant cette prestation qui aura bien duré 150minutes.

Il faut souligner que Prince a entrecoupé son spectacle de quelques pauses/rappels qui font grandir progressivement le désir entre l’artiste et son public… C’est peu dire quand on a pu assister aux cris demandant le troisième rappel et ses cinq autres pièces.

Malgré ses 56 ans, Prince déploie toujours une grande quantité d’énergie. Il sait aussi très bien habiter la scène. Il tient la pose, marque habilement le rythme de ses mains et danse comme un dieu.

Cela dit, il a su imposer certains passages plus intimistes. Mentionnons ces quelques pièces envoyées au clavier par le chanteur au milieu de la soirée : How Come U Don’t Call Me Anymore, The Beautiful Ones, The Most Beautiful Girl In the World, Little Red Corvette et la poignante The Breakdown.

Nothing Compares to…

Bien que les moments forts n’aient pas manqué lors de la soirée, notons sa jolie interprétation de Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough de Michael Jackson ainsi que l’offrande Nothing Compares To U (reprise par Sinead O’Conner en 1990), dont certains passages ont été chantonnés avec vigueur par des milliers de spectateurs présents dans ce Centre Bell bien rempli.

Section rock, section funk, section balade, section soul, section hits (quand même parsemés ç’a et là durant le spectacle), Prince en jette amplement à la plèbe pour satisfaire pratiquement tous les appétits.

Musicalement très hybride et éclatée, sa nouvelle proposition scénique est somme toute très réussie. Si on ajoute à tout ça des lignes de cuivres vivifiantes, des riffs de guitare de fou, une fougue excentrique, des choristes incroyables (il sait toujours s’entourer de chanteuses au grand talent), un répertoire impressionnant, on peut certainement conclure que ce concert-surprise fut à la hauteur des attentes… et plus encore.

… THE Prince, rien de moins.

Highlights of the show, to me personally when doves cry, sign of the times, which he played back to back. His voice sounded great, the sound was very good.
