Hey, what about Houston's on the Plaza B 4 the concert? Any 1 interested in some ice tea and cheese toast b 4 going to see Prince throw down?

Everyone, let us all know what your plans for concert day look like. You know, any major details of the 12 hours before and after the concert.

Hey Krebsne,

I would love a copy of your CD but I am unsure where I will be, (just know they are NPGMC seats).

If you would please, I have friends that will be in section L row 14 (not sure of which seats) but I can tell you that there names are Stephanie and Verla. Both are black women in their mid 30s. One is heavy set and the other is kinda heavy set. Give them the CD and tell them that it is for their church organist. (It will give u the feel of a scavenger hunt).

Just trying to increase your experience. hee hee

I'm afraid I won't be very early either. I can't leave Omaha until after work. So if I don't see you all before hand be sure to look for me after!! You won't be able to miss me. I'm six feet tall and will be wearing a purple shirt, tie and black pants. I'll be w/ my drummer who's a pretty heavy set guy almost 6 feet tall as well. We'll be visible!

Can't wait to meet you all!!

Not sure what time I'll be there myself. Post some pics. so I can watch out for all of you when I get there.

I do have an extra ticket; the person who was going with me can't go after all!
Section 202, Row K, Seat 11 A

Chris

I will be there!!! I'll be wearing one of my NPG jerseys...

kspeach said:

did you get rid of that ticket yet? What do you want for it? Email me at sawdust@novia.net if you still have it. I think I know someone who is interested!!

Hello KC,

I will be there tomorrow night! I started getting very excited last night just thinking about the energy! What time do people plan to show up down at Kemper? Any idea what time they start seating, or letting people inside? This is my first arena concert ever! From the age of 7, in 1984-I became fascinated with the music that was playing on the radio and MTV. Of course I was too young to really appreciate Purple Rain, etc. Did you know I just watched that movie for the first time a few days ago. (and LOVED it!!) The 80's styles were a spectacle, but I found myself wishing I would have been older during the 80's because it looked like a great time to be a young person. I don't know what it is about the current music scene/culture but it doesn't impress me. This is why I am so utterly thrilled to see Prince coming back in his original form. (well almost) I feel like it is my second chance to be part of something that was going on when I was in grade school. This tour/cd seems to be such a huge success-it makes me wonder if there are people out there like me that are living life in a vaccuum of "modern life" and have forgotten how fun things USED to be when the world was a better place than it is today! 20 years has sure changed this planet!?

My quick KC review. I have now seen three shows: Omaha, Ames and KC. So inevitably I will compare the three.

KC was the shortest. It started out top notch, though. Prince was rested and dancing like a MUG during the first 3-4 numbers. Lots of cool new additions to the show and new performance bits. He "froze" the band twice during MUSICOLOGY, for instance. Very cool.

Also there were some new theatrical additions. A hydrolic platform in the middle of the stage that raised and lowered him most notably. Also some "purple rain" streamer/curtain things that where white and came down for the finale. Lots of smoke machine, too. This was all new since Ames for sure.

Musically- playing-wise- this was the best show of the three. The band TORE IT UP. Maceo was a welcome return and Blackwell and Rhonda killed. DMSR was awesome and lasted forever as he directed solo after solo. They were tight and fonky and kicked major ass.

Now the bad things.

The show was SHORT SHORT SHORT. Lots of stuff missing. No NOTHING COMPARES 2 U, THE RIDE, THE ONE, QUESTION OF U, NO BEAUTIFUL ONES!! There were more things missing... it will come to me.

That's right he did NOT do TBO w/ the pearl curtain!! They lowered it for the encore and then lifted it up when he came onstage. WTF?!

And he did not do the acoustic bit for the encore. It was after Renato's solo, in the middle of the set. It was really cool as he played for a long time and did lots of songs I hadn't seen him do before acoustic like CREAM and GLAMOROUS LIFE. Even a bit of JAILHOUSE ROCK (yes by Elvis) just to mess with us. He was clearly having a blast.

So getting what is usually the "encore" in the middle of the show combined w/ the new stage elements and theatricality really whet my appetite for the new encore! I was ready to be amazed. I was very disappointed when he game out and just did PR. I couldn't believe it when he said "good night". It was sooo premature. Both the Ames and Omaha shows were much longer and there was lots of material he had not yet played.

My seats were good again. 7 rows back and behind Blackwell. Whom I met after the show!! He was just in the arena talking to some people (he must have had friends there). No one was round him so I walked up and as quickly and unobstrusively as I could got his autograph. It will go on my Prince wall w/ Bobby Z's signature (I met him last summer). I guess I'm collecting Prince's drummers' autographs!!

Thanks to all the orger's that I met. If I didn't run into you- sorry! I tried and I gave out all the CDs I had. If any of you are still interested in one org note me and we'll work something out.

Oh and super congrats to the girl in the black and white dress who sang KISS this time. She did great! It was cool to watch someone else do it and watch Prince and his reactions. That must be something like it was when it was me. I really enjoyed it and if anyone knows her tell her to orgnote me so we can swap stories!!

Peace and B Wild,
Richard/krebsne
