I just watched it, very bad quality of Baby I'm A Star.

Have to say it sounds pretty bad and I don't mean just the quality, This band playing THAT song ?
It just doesn't work IMO

sure it's great, but don't get over excited, it'a really not all that good.

(and I am not just sayin' that cuz I am not there !)


!

The video quality sucks, but that's all that sucks IMEO. I think the band does a great job, and Prince sounds fabulous. Thanks, Minah!

ah...anotha dumbass post...

Im not waiting another minute Funky cuz that Brilliancy thing could take 4ever...

yeah i think it sounds really good, but perhaps the sound quality makes it sound quite thin? its not as loud and sort of beefy as it should be, it still sounds good, and surely fans who are sick of these songs shouldbe happier with new arrangements? still its a shame prince doesnt throw himself around anymore, but i suppose he is 44/45 and supposely has a dodgy ankle now?

Just watched the video i though it waz ok, loved the suit, it would be great 2 see P skidding on them knees and doing the splits again if james brown can do it at 70+ i m sure the purple funk master can do it at 44 or is that against JW rules. Peace and love yall.

As ALWAYS Prince and his band are as tight as ever!!!

There was more activity on the stage than last year it looks, so it was cool watching the vid. But i wish he played it a little faster, it seemed a little slow.

great seing the man himself in video!!! but prince when are you coming to england for a tour, plz prince for you british fans

It's cool!

Especially Prince's singing and moving; he's loose

WOW. That's the coolest thing I've seen in a long time!! I don't know if it's fair to complain about the sound being thin when you're watching a poor-quality streaming video...all I know is that to my ears, that arrangement sounds FRESH, while still being faithful to the original.

And he dances again!! He MUST come to the states with this tour.

uhh.. maybe the sound quality sucks cuz it's a crappy file seen and heard on computer screen and speakers. I am sure if you heard it live it's way different.

I see the man is dancing a little bit again huh!

did yall notice the 1000 dollar "seats"

I was there and that video does not do it justice.

The performance was kick arse!! The sound at the concert was so thick and loud my ears are still ringing.

I'm diggin that~

This guy is like the that one friend that everybody has, that you could tell him that you just inherited Microsoft and GM and he would still be like "that's great, but what about all the girls that are gona want to f-ck you now, I 'd hate to be that rich"

I hate people like that...

funny how on this thread everyone is saying how it was ok or good...

yet on the 2 other threads with almost the same title as this thread about 90% of everyone are saying how tacky and sad it is to see him do these songs again with this band... - because it sounds like shit

Hey you spoiled (other) western european and american fans! be glad he's playing for people who haven't heard him in ten years time! give Prince a break will ya? how would you feel after not seeing him live for ten years?
His aftershows and secret gigs give the oportunity to see and hear him new stuff, so why bother for other people?
I realy am glad that the australians are able to hear him perfofm those hits!
ANd bu the way, it's prince life and fun, so he does what he wants, be glad he's still alive, and not shot by some freaky fan or something!
I'm very glad he left behind the PREACHIN' !! that something no one asks for imho.

still peace though, to all you spoiled kids!

Hey yeah, I had forgotten all about the PREACHIN'!...

So he lost that, has he? And he's started moving again? Couldn't be better!

Umm I am Australian too. So just about everything you said was pointless.

I Still think from what we have heard - it sounds lousy, like a cover band playing Prince stuff. HE couldn't even hit the high note in Baby I'm A Star - If he CAN'T play it he SHOULDN'T play it. Why put us through the misery of him trying to relive his glory days just for the cash ?

Though you got no argument with the preaching !

I am happy for every Australian who will see him too, but he better not bring this show to Europe or USA

- it simply WILL NOT WORK

Yeah i was there , of course the video stream was average and i suppose we have been starved of the man for ten years,the show wasnt all just past hits how could it be.Just remember the man means so many things to so many people.Three decades of stuff.
