Hello again if u read my 1st post.

So my experience starts on Friday afternoon at the ETC Sydney. Eye wore my tight black get wild/macho man symbol shirt which some people in the were pretty impressed with.
While waiting in line eye recognised Joshy and said hello 2 him shortly after.
Going in2 the soundcheck eye was very nervous. Eye was with my brother, his wife and little son, my wife, my niece and 3 freinds of mine.
We waited a while 4 Prince and the band 2 come out which made me even more nervous but as soon as he appeared eye was right at home. As soon as he got 2 the mic and said hello eye screamed out "thank u 4 coming back" (yes that was me yall) and just as eye knew he would he replied thanks 4 having me. U c eye just missed out on onstage tickets 4 that night so eye wanted 2 try and speak 2 him as much as eye can.
Anyway the soundcheck was great and by that time eye had allready got my $$$ worth.
We than went in2 the vip room, met the greatest Prince fans of all time Lori and Rita, ate and drank abit than when walking out bumped in2 Mr John Blackwell.Man what a guy, he was so good 2 us, always wanted 2 hang with us fans.
Anyway my seat 4 the show was 5th row centre. As soon as all the lights went out all the people in front of my moved up the front, so by track 3 eye had also made my way up 2 the front row.
What can eye say...unbelievable. Favourite moments 4 me were thestart of course, when doves cry, piano jam and watching him play habibi right in front of me.
there was a very exciting moment where Prince let some people up on stage and if he had of let anothe 3 people up eye would have been 1 of them cause ieye was right there, eye couldt believe it.
Another highlight was seeing my little 5 year old nephew go off when he and my brother got up on stage, wow what a moment.
My brother has seen all the shows and he told me that this was the best show of them all so any1 who was there feel lucky.
We quickly rushed 2 the afterparty and pushed in2 the line (sorry guys) but it was all good cause right there were Joshy, Dnaplaya and Ally85. Eye also met Derek as well here.
The afterparty was pretty tiring and boring up until u knew Prince had arrived. Me and my wife along with my bro were right up the front and Prince stood right in front of us. He attempted 2 grab a tamborine off somebody who was behind me and when he gave it back eye just managed 2 touch him abit on the hand!!! Then b4 u knew it he was gone.

The next day eye got there a little bit earlier with my brother and got 2 the front of the line where eye met Andrew.
The soundcheck was once again a chance 4 me 2 talk 2 him as eye did but it was Prince who started talking 1st, here is the conversation word by word (yes eye remember every detail!
Prince: Did yall get some sleep last nite? (every1 laughs and kinda says no)
Me: Did u?
Prince:Mmmm Eye dont sleep.
Me: So how many songs did u write? (he then looked at me since eye was doin most of the talking)
Prince: Eye didnt write any songs eye watched last nights show on video...4 times! (every1 laughs).
My brother John: R u going 2 release it on dvd?
Prince: (looks at him as if 2 say, r u kidding?) no im not...r u? (crowd laughs).
Me: Prince do u require any background 2day? (me trying 2 get up on stage!!)
Prince: (looks around him) aaahhh no!!! (crowd laughs).

It was 1 of the highlights 4 me, eye thinks eye can actually say that eye spoke 2 Prince, but my ploy 2 try and get up on stage didnt work, damn!!!

4 the show this time eye was 8th row but eye didnt move up, it didnt matter cause it was unbelievable. Eye brought my brother in law along 2 this show and he had never been 2 a concert in his life so eye warned him that whatever concert u c after this will be shit compared 2 this. After the show he agreed!!
Eye thought this show was just as good as the night b4 but only cause Mr larry Grahem himself appeared. Eye never thought id get 2 c him live and he played the bass unbeliebably, ive never seen him go off like that.
Eye think at the end of that show Prince was such in a funky mood with lLarry that he decided 2 keep the funk rollin and ditch Purple Rain all2gether, it didnt matter 2 me cause eye was going off!!

The aftershow is in part 3...

Great report!

Thanks f2002, you make me feel part of it just a tee-wee bit!
