Prince again picked up on the same faces being in the front rows, and asked why the new poeple shouldn't be sat at the front. Not suprisingly, no one in the front made comment.

Overall, I don't think Prince was in the best of moods. Of course he was professional for the main show, but he seemed subdued in the Soundcheck, cut the show short, and had no afterparty/show.

Must be saving his energy for the funky Irish!

Looks right to me. The Work Part one was fantastic. It works much better when Prince uses his deeper voice.

mmmhhh...the hits are back into the setlist...Prince, don't read newspaper or reviews, play what you want to play, not what people on streets expect from you!!!

I wondered the same thing.

Maybe he's getting a little bored of TRC after a year. I am!

U don't really believe Prince wastes his time visiting the org, do u?! Somehow i SERIOUSLY doubt it.

You forgot "You Own Me". I assume that's the title, it's the only song he performed I wasn't familiar with although its been performed on previous dates I see listed as "You & Me".

I agree on the abrupt ending, no piano medley, no Family Name and rumoured cancelled aftershow, sad end to UK tour.

"you own me" - I was wondering what that was - I think it was during "strollin" wasn't it?

who's song is that ?

I agree about the ending - I was looking forward to a piano or acoustic guitar segment after reading some other reviews but never mind

Couldn't believe most of the dancers on stage didn't know the words to Love Bizarre! - that was woeful!

Funky night - It was the only one I've seen this time round so - I'd rather he was subdued than not seeing him.


Spoke to Rhonda after the gig and asked about the after party - she said as they were flying to Dublin first thing in the morning that there would be no party - she apologised.
