who would go if they KNEW the money WASNT going to charites ?? and wouldnt MORE people go if it was anounced the money WAS going to charities?????

Sheila E is doing an event later in the month that is support by his family. The money will go into the Purple Fund which will support local charities. The family could put some of this money into the fund which Sheila E said was now depleated.

I think PRNFamily is probably Omar and Tyka and I believe the proceeds of the parties will go toward their living expenses and upkeep until the estate is divided up (which could end up taking months, if not years). And, I also believe that these three parties in MLPS are just the beginning. I would not be surprised if they took the PRNFamily tribute parties on the road. From all indications, they were, by and large, supported by Prince. Early on, I read that the homes owned by Prince that are inhabited by family members will continue to be paid for. Beyond that, I think they are on their own. Remember those early reports of George Lopez loaning "the family" $20 thousand? IJS...

The Star Tribune reports today that Prince's ex-wife, "Mayte" will be there also.

So First Ave is hosting a tribute concert after party on Oct 13. Kind of odd considering the family party at the Muse that same night. I wonder if anyone from the tribute show will be at First Ave?

Lots of competing parties. Londell even hinted at an afterparty on Twitter.

I find it interesting in the Star Tribune article they say some stars are getting paid and others just wanted expenses paid. My God, it's a tribute and they want paying?!

.

If you are going to perform a tribute concert, I don't think you should expect to be paid. I know things cost money, but in this case......honoring Prince Roger Nelson.......it's differerent.

Will they stream or put videos up for fans abroad?

They also received some sort of loan from the estate. Right now there are so motions about the disclosure of money paid out to Tyka. I think sometimes people forget that when people die you still money to pay for the furneral and tie up loose ends. In addtion, if the family members were living in homes that Prince paid for and receiving some sort of salary I could see them getting some money out of the estate until things clear up.

More changes to the tribute line-up:

.

.

The official Prince tribute on Thursday in St. Paul sounds like a typical Prince production: Grand ideas, false starts, last-minute shakeups and a big-buck gamble that it’ll be something special.

.

Pop star/guitar hero John Mayer dropped out on Tuesday due to a scheduling change. But that seems minor compared to the all-star event’s dramatic switch less than a month ago from the new Vikings stadium with its 50,000 purple seats to the 17,000-seat Xcel Energy Center.

.

,

Conspicuously absent from the lineup are Sheila E and the Revolution, Prince’s “Purple Rain” era band. Sheila had long ago booked a concert in suburban New York City for Oct. 13. Wendy Melvoin and Lisa Coleman of the Revolution made commitments before Prince died to work on music for the TV series “Shades of Blue” and “No Way Out.”

.

“We support the whole thing,” said Revolution drummer Bobby Z. “I’m coming.”

.

Some artists are being paid, some are just having their expenses covered, Levy said.

The audience looks quite sparse in the clips I've seen of last night at The Muse.

I have a feeling the First Ave party will draw a bigger crowd. These always seemed like competing events and what was the point. Just suck it up, get behind the official concert and plan one massive after show party Prince would be proud of.

Exactly! Plus, it seems like Londell and PRNFamily are at odds.

No it was packed to the rafters.I was there.People started leaving the last 45 minutes because the show lasted over 4 hours. Some people were probably getting tired or had to go to work. It was an incredible show. The best musicians and you can see how they adopted Princes work ethics.

.

Awesome!! You were so lucky to be there!! If I lived close to MN, I would have been there for sure!
