Hey, I'm thinking about joining the lotusflow3r site although I find $77 a bit pricey. I already have bought the new albums but what else can you see on the site. What videos can you see? Are there live concerts to view? Thanks

Great question, I was wondering the same thing. What do you get for $77 so far?

so far you get to download the new albums with the exception of "crimson and clover" but you do get a different song in its place called "the morning after". you get access to vip tickets when available. as for the videos you will get access to a handful of the videos released while he was with warner bros, a few leno performances, brit awards, and the new videos. Oh yeah, you also get to see the sacrifice of victor video. there are a bunch of photos that i hear are from the 21 nights book. it also gives you a link to the site where you can buy the over priced book and ipod. hope this helps.

I think it goes in place much better than crimson and clover but i know that there are others here that are haters of this song. I think it is one of the better songs. it reminds me of a more modern take on manic monday. the only thing that i don't like is that it is too short. its like 2 mins and a few seconds.

don't get me wrong i do like crimson and clover but just not right after boom! i think it would have been better following the morning after and not taken any songs out of the cd or the website

You don't get much. If I had it to do all over again, I wouldn't.

i gotta say, for the 50 bucks it cost to sign up to U2's site...i got a t shirt, a double disc of rarities and b-sides, access to four presale tickets, and a 25% discount off of any merch at the online store. not to mention access to the members only content, such as videos, interviews, diaries, tour info, etc etc etc.

for 77 bucks at prince's website you get a record that would cost 12 at another vendor, and you get to watch a few videos and look at a few pictures (if i'm not mistaken). i don't know, man...sounds like a rip off to me. but the value is all in the eye of the subscriber.

I think $77 is a bit pricey considering what's available on the site NOW. However, your $77 buys you a year-long membership, and who knows what else might be available on the site within the year. If membership helps me score awesome concert seats if he tours again, then I consider it worth it.

PS-I LOVE "The Morning After," reminds me of "Raspberry Beret"-era Prince.

Along with the pictures, you have access to videos dating bacck to 1999, Raspberry Beret, LRC, Controversy, Creep, and many more.

I really wish there was an online shop in there somewhere!!- maybe they're working on that, but the live video of D.M.S.R. is worth the 50 quid on its own!! I can't stop watching it, my only complaint is the cameraman keeps taking the camera off Prince!! I don't want to see the other band members, just scrumptious Prince with his sexy bare chest showing!!!

where is the link?? at least THATS new...

Buy the cd at target or at ebay. You've seen more or less all videos already. There is nearly nothing new or unseen.

So better save your money!!!

Unfortunatly I did join and I've paid the $77. I would not do that again.

Most other band have better sites, news, video, galleries and merchandise access are for free. And you can download the songs for a fee. Therefore I really do not see the point of paying $77.

This may help -

If burning hard-earned cash is your thing, join Lotusflow3r. I wish I hadn't.

I think it's worth while right now but even moreso it's gonna be an excellent value in the long run. I mean damn, we've become so spoiled. We expect everything right here right now. I like the fact that new stuff is gonna be added every month, instead of getting all at once. I like surprises.

The advance concert ticket offers are worth every penny if u ask me.

Look...I'm a diehard P guy...if he doesn't tour then I will be disappointed because really that's all I want from my membership. As it stands its not what I expected, yet it has the potential to be incredible. If $77 bucks is a big deal to you then hold off until we get out of this beta stage; those with memberships will provide plenty of updates.
