This would be a great show if he were to drop the smoothed-out, old-school preacher routine. I would have loved to see this setlist from the Prince who would run all over the place, take off his shirt and break a sweat. The funny thing is, he's probably as good as he's ever been with a guitar right now. Go figure.  |

I think the only thing that would make this possible is if Larry tells him to do it. "You need people like me so you can point your fuckin' fingers and say, "That's the bad guy." "

Have you not heard the guitar work that comes in later in the song? Bring it in a bit earlier in a subtle way and you got a very cool rock performance. I gotta agree with the initial post. The bulk of your songs are kick ass ROCK numbers, but All the Critics Love U in New York, as much as I love it, is much more pop than rock. If he reworks one number to make it rock, he could do it with a couple dozen. Luv & Peace, Alex Clubbin' in Mpls/A Night w. Prince | |

rialb said: What kind of band would Prince need for a rock tour? I'm assuming he would want a different bass player. I love Rhonda but I'm not sure she is "raw" enough. And maybe a new drummer, too. Nothing against John Blackwell. This is a really crazy idea, and yes, I know it would never happen, but how about bringing Andre Cymone and Dez Dickerson back? Assuming they still have the musical chops for it. I'm sure both those cats would agree to tour with Prince again. No doubt they need the money. So who would the drummer be?
John Blackwell. Sorry d00d, but he's the most powerful drummer Prince has ever had. I think he could rock harder than anyone Prince has played with. Luv & Peace, Alex Clubbin' in Mpls/A Night w. Prince | |

Towards the end, there's some great guitar stuff. He would just have to bring some in a bit sooner. "You need people like me so you can point your fuckin' fingers and say, "That's the bad guy." "

OH, I love this post! I just said to my sister the other day: Oh, Prince should do an all rock set! (I was listening to BAMBI at the time when I said it!). I love that song! OH, the guitar at the end.
Computer Blue, Darling Nikki, Bambi, Let's Go Crazy -- these would sound so good LOUD! He'd really look like the genius he is!!! The sad & the lonely love the best "The poets are demanding their pay..."

That would be a great set list. Although I'd want a couple of changes.
First off, Empty Room has to be in there, Secondly, I'd want to see Rock Hard in a funky place. Thirdly, You can't have no rock show without Shockadelica Fourth, 17 Days would fit in nicely. fifth, a must guitar solo is missing, so we HAVE to add Temptation!! . |

Snap! This is a show I'd travel to see. I know he's done a lot of Santana, but wouldn't mind seeing one of his songs in this list, and also something deep-funky (aka Funkadelic) that he can rock-out on with his guitar.

I used to want Prince to do something like an all rock show. If he limited himself it would be easier to compare him favorably to other rock artists. But I think his show rocks more than the records do, anyway. Also, I'd be disappointed if I went to a concert and couldn't dance.
And what makes horns "bullshit?" Anyway, if he did it would go more like: Damned if I Do So Far So Pleased Animal Kingdom Poor Goo Cinnamon Girl Strays of the World Into the Light One of Us Gold and half his fans would hate it like they hate Chaos & Disorder. Check this song out at:

I was thinking about temptation also. The beginning of that song is awesome. I just don't know if the rest of the song would work.

I can see disliking "ladies and gentlemen Candy Dulfer!!!" instead of hearing the second verse of nearly every song, but I think a carefully arranged horn section can enhance almost any song, even Let's go Crazy. I think the Undertaker gets a bit thin in places because it's lacking more instruments. Check this song out at:

It's just boring already. Since he probably can't dance like he used to, he needs to do something else that's exciting. I'd say a rock show is the way to go.

I wouldn't even suggest that Prince replace any of his core band members to do a rock show. I think that John and Rhonda, and even Mike have the chops and the versatility to pull it off. Besides, you don't want it to not still be a "Prince show." You want that harder, guitar-driven rock, but it's always going to lay on a bed of funk, right?
Artists like Dave Grohl would be cool additions, but I'm not asking for Prince to have his own Probot side project. I want Prince to be Prince, I just want him to focus on the ROCK for one album or one tour. (I'd seriously settle for the album if I had to). I have made my own burned cds of just the guitar-driven rock stuff for friends of mine and have used that angle of Prince's music to win over a good dozen or so friends who didn't listen to Prince before. They totally respect him just from hearing that and open their minds to the non-rock stuff once they respect what the man can do on the guitar. Also, when I saw him this summer, every time I went I noticed some "metal heads" in the audience and was so excited to see their respect for Prince and their obvious appreciation of the show when he focused on the guitar work. All of this reminds me of the Dave Chappelle skit with Questlove and John Mayer...that thing about how black people like drums and white people like the electric guitar. Funny as hell!!! We don't like to stereotype and put people in boxes (I, for instance, LOVE the drums), but damned if there ain't a bit of truth to this...however stereotypical. HA HA!!! Keith/Kacey | |

It would be funny if he popped in a couple of tracks you wouldn't expect to be played, but completely rocked them up. Something like a full out rock version of Do U Lie, with a mega guitar solo, would be very cool. RIP  | |

If there's one thing I've noticed from him this past year, it's that his strength lies in his guitar playing. I think he still has it in himself to put on a great rock show. No horns or any other bullshit of course. I'd go with a set list like: Let's go Crazy I'm Yours Witness 4 The Prosecution Electric Chair Zannalee Interactive Endorphinemachine The Undertaker Dolphin The Cross Computer Blue Eye Like It There 319 Sister All The Critics Love U In New York Loose! Live 4 Love Chaos and Disorder What's My Name Darling Nikki Joint 2 Joint Calhoun Square The Ride Peach Sign O The Times America Bambi In This Bed I Scream (guitar ending) YES YES YES!! A ROCK SHOW WOULD BE THE BEST!! ZANNALEE 
ENDORPHINMACHINE 
ALL THE CRITICS 
AMERICA
PEACH!!! YES YES YES!!! THE RIDE!!! BAMBI!!! COMPUTER BLUE!!! 
I would just diiiiie!  [This message was edited Wed Aug 4 10:03:32 2004 by CherrieMoonKisses]  &  | |

I don't. It's just wishful thinking. A couple of his Paisley shows were all out rock. He couldn't turn his guitar up loud enough on one of 'em. I went home VERY happy that night... What's the use of being young if you ain't gonna get old

A few surprises like that would be hot. The possibilities are endless. "You need people like me so you can point your fuckin' fingers and say, "That's the bad guy." "
