Any1 here go to the Bagleys Warehouse 'Welcome 2 the Dawn' afterparty in Sept 1993?

Did u have a pleasant experience? I was 1 of the fortunate people who got to see him play (along with Tony M, doh!) and had a memorable, good experience . But I know many people thought it was a fiasco .

I'd be interested to hear some stories.

I was there.

I had a great time, I think.

I do remember that it was way overcrowded though.

I was there too, it was packed, hot and I had to wait around 4 hours for the man to come on.

Great gig though - I was quite near the front so it was the first time I'd seen Prince up close. Even got the back of my head in the sacrifce of victor video.

wow , what a great night that was, wasn't it a real pain in the ass waiting for so long. Do you remember him throwing down the yellow cloud right at the end, boy was he pissed. I was right at the front and the corner of my head made it onto the video!!.

Tony M is a legend. Let's start a petition to bring Tony back to the NPG. What y'all think?

Can someone please tell me why he was pissed ? For years I've known there was some sort of problem at BAgley but
I've never known exactly what !

Well I know there was supposed to be sand all over place to give it a egyptian desert type feel but it rained and washed all the sand away leaving a bit of a gooey mess.

There was also an incident were security were stopping people from leaving so someone called the police on their mobile phone.

I know that Prince was apparently horrified when he came onstage and saw a rowdy crowd with glass bottles of beer. I think the whole band were a bit confused as to why we were all annoyed as they had no idea of the conditions we were waiting in. If u remember Sonny came on to many boos and slow hand claps and said "Wassup damn it!"

But I have to say I didn't realised Prince was pissed off?! I thought he threw his guitar down in rock and roll styley!

If any1 can shed some light on this I would love to hear it. I know some people got 2 sit on the side of the stage and could see everything.

I have this show on video.. and I simply love the guitar solo of "Call the Law"... really, really like it!!!

I was there... right at the back, standing on the beer soaked, broken glass scattered floor, unable to see anything..

Remember the comment 'Peace to the Blondes' at the beginning (think its recorded on the video of the show too).. a couple of young ladies had been to all the arena shows (well, they there at all the ones I attended anyway), and must have caught his eye..!

As we arrived fairly late, just headed for the room where the show was, didnt manage to see any of the 'themed' rooms..

I have this show on laserdisc - really great show...BUT :

1. Does the COMPLETE show exist on video (including Come, Endorphine Machine, etc)

2. Does the complete show exist on a soundboard recording?

Great 2 hear every1's comments...u lucky bastards!

Thought it was pretty shit, although I was excited by the performances of Come, Endorphinmachine and Peach. That really rocked.
