First Paisley Report

Well I got news after work that P was having a jam tonight, so I called my peoples to see who was down to go. Sad to say, no one was. They were either drunk, sleeping or lazy(cough' lalalahehe7) and they missed out!!!
So I went by myself, I thought the it would be like the normal Paisley night. Danceparty for 2 hours or shorter then P comes up and jams. So I decieded to leave around 2:00am and got there around 2:30am. When I drove in the lot, very few cars were around. So I parked and walked to the door, and it was locked. DAMN! I waited some minutes til a guard walked by and let me in, he didnt even search me either. And as I walked in P was jamming away on his guitar. DAMMIT, I wonder how much I missed. Anyway Morris was not on the boards, some new player was who was pretty good also. Blackwell on drums and Rhonda on bass. The crowd was really small, like maybe 25 people at most! So this was a cool setting. For the ladies that want to know what P was wearing, he was in a white wool stocking cap and a black top with red and white NPG letters going across the front, with red and black pants with one color on each side, and red shoes. Anyway on with the jam.
Prince was cracking jokes and talking to the crowd the whole time and what it also seemed like he was testing his new keyboardest. They played different funk jams, just testing out sounds n stuff. Then as Rhonda was switching guitars, Prince aksed for some requests from the crowd. Some lady yelled, "the ride" and he shook his head "no"...
So after everything was set they broke into "the rainbow children" and P used the guitar for the vocal part, it was sick! Prince with his guitar in hand, steped down from the stage and stood right next to me and 3 other people standing there in the crowd playing the guitar. He jammed there for some good licks then walked back up to the stage. He was walking around us all night, talking to the crowd and everything.

During one break, one lady in front yelled "What do you think of Britney Spears stealing your song?" Prince laughed and so did everyone else. She must have ment the "slave 4 u" track. Prince laughed it off and they jammed on again. Prince was switching in between the guitar and keyboards messing with different keys and sound effects. Blackwell had a crazyretarded drum solo, that left the small crowd blown away.
The overall jam must of ended around 3:45 or so? Then P threw on a video from the Lovesexy Tour in Europe. I knew that cuz I got the same one at home.(and will be 4 sale on my site soon...=)...) He played the last parts of the video with "Bob George" and "Anastaisia" and cant remember the others, but the lights came on when they were showing "the cross" footage. And everyone bounced out.
Overall it was a Paisley performance that reminded me of the old days, and hope that he continues to do these jams more often.

note*** sorry for the crap spelling and little song list, i have to work in 2 hours and need some sleep....***

peace
p.s. jeremy is a sucka! TOLD U HE WOULD PLAY!!!
