Bataclan review 3

Quick review of what happened last night here in Paris.



The show was announced on TV at around 8:20PM. I got there
at around 8:40PM to find that there was already 1000 people
in line for it. Knowing that the "Bataclan" couldn't take
much more I decided to make an indecent proposal to a couple
at the beginning of line. smile



We were let in around 12:30AM. I got comfortable (sic) up
front. The rodies were setting up stage and they were having
serious problems. At one point something popped staged left
and a serious smell began to seep through... They all started
screaming at each other, holding their heads and calling each
other all sorts of nasty names... I'm sure Prince & Larry would
not of approved of this at all.



3:30 AM rolled around and they were still trying to get things
working. That when Prince and the NPG came on stage REALLY
wanting to get things started. Prince walked around shaking
some hands to a very relieved crowd. He knew that we were
tired and ready for something else other than RAVE blarring
on the PA system. He tried to take a guitar to start something
but a techy told him that it wasn't working... Prince at this
point was not amused, he walked over to the drum set and did
a little solo for us. After a little bit of this I think
they were ready.



The show lasted about 2 hours. I remember him playing
Everyday People

Thank you for...

Kiss

Get Off



oh hell, I let someone else give you a better listing.



Not many highlight to mention. Larry was all over the place
as usual. Prince reffered to himself as Prince in his speech
to us saying: "You read the newspapers and they say that Prince
is crazy. Well you know it's true."



He got some people up on stage at the end of the show including
an incredibly beautiful "fuzzy haired" girl he had sang about
earlier on. Wow.



All in all the show wasn't memorable to say the least. Technical
difficulties throughout show really got to him I think. Half of
prince's lyrics during the show was "put the mike up", "can't hear
the keyboards", "put larry's mike up and stop disrespecting", "lemme
here some more horns" and so on...



Voila, sorry if this review isn't more music oriented. Maybe
someone else could give you a better impression on that aspect.
