Ok, I admit it. I cried like a baby when he did Little Red Corvette acoustically. Firstly, I did not even cry at my first Prince concert. I had always promised myself that I would not become one of those fans. I think that performance of Lil red corvette during the theatre broadcast typified Prince's talent. That night felt like a culmination of something intangible.What a genuis he is with just his voice, guitar and spotlight. Just when I thought he could not get any better he proved me very wrong after 20 some odd years. Combine that with knowing other longtime fans knew precisely how I felt at that moment. That night was a magical and spiritual experience. I was so proud of Prince, I had chill bumps. This past week, I was listening to the L.A. staples theatre broadcast (oops!) and I cried again during Lil red. I could not fight it just like that night in March 04. Did anybody else have a similar experience?

it was an amazing experience - the whole show - but i fell just short of tears. though i don't know if i can say the same of the person who was sitting next to me....but then again, she kinda involuntarily slid out of her seat a couple of times during the show.

I cried when I opened the paper the next day and discovered I missed it

YEs, I cried as I sat here and read this thread.

i cried before he was even onstage (i was @ the concert). that silly little video they showed got me all excited, and then when he did appear, i totally lost it. yeah, i'm a dork.

No, but I kept wondering what that black stuff was, running down his face.

And thinking to myself, someone who works for him needs to go up there and hand him a towel.

Hmm, I wonder what it was...

I was also at that show, but did not cry. Although "Little Red Corvette" during his acoustic set was a very special moment that filled me with fuzzy nostalgia. I smiled the whole time.

Even before he got the the accoustic set, it had started sinking in that this was possibly the best performance of his that I had ever seen (and this is while watching on a movie screen and not in person). Then the LRC performance. Absolutly priceless, and yeah, it brought me to the brink of tears. I will personally hunt that little man down and give him a good talkin' to if he does not release that performance on DVD.

Could he even reach his dick now?

he probably can...he probably has a special rope & pulley-thing in his bathroom to hoist that belly outta the way when he gotta pee.

as for the question: i cried...























...in my pannies.

Honestly, I don't understand why that moment was so poignant for everybody No I didn't cry. I know others did, he may have too (or faked it, lol) but it didn't hit me like that. The entire performance was incredible. It was special to see him so stripped down - just him, the guitar, a chair & a spotlight. But for me it was the entire acoustic set, his attitude, the joy he must have felt, the energy of the whole show, the thunderous comeback, ALL of it. I was really proud of him in that moment, but not so moved that I shed tears. I'd have to see it again to figure out why what particular moment bugged people out so.

That's a longwinded way of saying "no" huh?

i was scared of that emoticon! now i got more wet pannies!

Odd that someone else had the same experience as myself. I did not see this performance you mention. But, when he came to seattle last august< i cried as he rose to the stage and played this song, understated and lowkey enough to make it poignant. i posted this months ago, that LRC was a watershed for me, and the beginnings of what made me want to be a musician and Prince fan. I still have never heard a pop song better than this one, ever.

Also, what was this Staples performance shown on and how did I miss it? You guys are supposed to keep on top of these things for me.

mozfonky said:

okay, let's start with first things first. you know he did a record and a tour last year, right?

what black stuff??? I didn't see it!

LovesexyIsThe1 said:

I didn't cry, but I had one hell of an amazing time. I'll never forget it.


...nor will I forget the stomachache that Calhoun, Handclaps and Anxy just gave me.
