I don't know about u all but, I miss the ahdio shows. Should Prince re-launch the ahdio show series and even the online store on his lotusflow3r site? At least since u're paying $77, why not include the ahdio shows as part of that. Near the very end of the NPG Music Club run in 2006, Prince re-launched the ahdio show series by re-releasing the first NPG ahdio show (which was originally released back in 2001, I think). As a fan at that time, I thought he was about 2 re-introduce the site 2 the world and take it 2 another level. Then soon after, the site goes down. OK that's here nor there, I think the ahdio shows was great 4 the NPG Music Club and the store was cool also. The NPG Music Club site was a great way 2 get a glimpse in2 the vault in some shape of form. The ahdio shows gave us a tiny taste of the vault. U got 2 hear his previously released material. Whether it was his own material, some of the other material he's done for other artists and related projects, it was a small glimpse in2 that. He even includes previously unreleased recordings as well, whether it was the updated versions, live ahdios (concert or rehearsal), and even an unheard/rare song. What if Prince launched the lotusflow3r online store. He could re-release all of the material that was released on NPG Records (the post-Warner Bros releases). Even more, how about Prince has a room of sort of called the Crystal Ball and it's room where u would find Prince releasing material that were bootleg but, in high quality (like a bootleg series of sort). Example: The first released would be the shelved Crystal Ball album. U would get 2 download the entire album along with an online booklet. A document containing stories and information behind every song and the album in Prince own words (much like the 1998 Crystal Ball album booklet) along with previously unreleased and rare photos taken during that era. What do u think?

for me-not so much

the monthly shows were not great-i wasn't into the online stuff like high or cybersingle-and after the t shirt craziness this year-i'm not in a rush to buy ANYTHING Prince related anytime soon-and especially from official sources-i haven't got the patience to wait another 7 months for my order

Was "ahdio" the actual name of it? What did it mean, was it relevant or pertaining to anything?

Yes they were called AHDIO shows, I can't recall ever reading why the u of audio was replaced with an h, but I'm sure Prince had a meaning in mind.

'Cause it was like, "Ahhhh, an audio show".

It took me ages to work out what was going on there when they first came out - because it doesn't work with an English accent!

RodeoSchro said:

I think it was also to do with the content supposedly being 'enlightening'. As in 'Ahhh i didnt know that'.

It could even be "Ahhhh, that bowel movement sure was helpful".
