It was just another Saturday Night at "Blues On Bellair" last weekend when Prince came into the Yorkville boite and ended up running the joint.

The Regular jam that night included veteran Prakask John (who has worked with Lou Reed And Alice Cooper) on bass, his teenage son Jordan on drums, and blues screamer Jerome Godboo. They were beginning their second set when Prince, and a female companion and bodyguard arrived by black limo.

"They sat at the back for a while, and after about 15 minutes the bodyguard came up and said something and Prince came up and took (guitarist John Daly's) guitar," the witness told The Sun's Jim Slotek. "He played rhythm on some number, then left and the people cheered.

"The Third set, a little after Midnight, he comes up and they played like a 20 minute blues number, and Prince started directing the changes. He shifted to metal, funk soul, all kinds of genres. And the kid (Jordan) stayed right there with him."

Cool.

Yet another awesome Prince story.

That is the ultimate.

I've got to be there.

sweet

Damn... This is just a block away from where I live.

Didn't somebody say something about how Canadians will respect Prince's privacy and would be cool with him living there without making a big deal every time he shows up?

This is at least the second news story in about 10 days out of Canada that makes a big deal out of him just showing up somewhere.

First, a reviewer leads the review of Norah Jones by going on for several paragraphs about how Prince was in the audience for the show. Now there's another newspaper account of his every move in a club. It was also the Canadians who released the details on Prince's new house, including its cost, financial information on the purchase, description of the house, and the exact street where it is located.

I don't think the Canadians are being cool about Prince being there. If he shows up at a Canadian grocery store pushing a cart of tofu is that going to make the 6 'O Clock news?

Ahh, bootlegs please!
This is the Prince I like most...the musician Prince. I wish I could have seen it

too cool..

P E R F E C T P R I N C E !
WAAAOOOWW, i do hope someone recorded this shit!
Damn, is the real Prince back? i mean, ...just entering anotherman's gig, feeling the need to groove.. (that shit they played must've been good).. sending a bodyguard, then jumping on the stage, leaving the crowd chearing and just 'leave'.. perfect prince.. also damn great he didn't play any of his own songs.. wow! truely a great story.
Is there any official fan/website of this group? maybe ther's some more info on this.

Are you jealous Batdance?? What was meant by that previous comment is us Canadians don't follow him around and scream our heads off when we see him at a club. We don't bother him when he's out on the town. We respect his privacy, but that doesn't stop us from reporting on him when he spotted at a club.

Right on Kisscamille!
I live in T.O. as well and there have been many many sightings of Prince that haven't been reported on. He definately has his privacy here. However, when it's an "entertainement story" and Prince performs that definately deserves a report.

Hey Batdance -
When Kisscamille and I have dinner with Prince, I promise we won't post it :lol

Jealous of what? Why should I be jealous of Canadians being uncool?

Americans haven't followed him around screaming for years. Americans also don't report on how much he paid for his home, or its square footage, or whose name is on the mortgage.

It was also the Canadians who published the photos of him at a basketball game.

Prince CLEARLY likes Toronto, Canada and his Canadian Wife. The media is the media...nothing to do with countries and don't tell us that Americans (or anyone else for that matter) do not report on the trivial and the "interesting" aspects of an entertainers life. "Days Of Wild" Live From Montreal! Peace, PCB near Toronto.

Okay...but who was the female companion?
