First!!!


He rocked it!! I was a little worried with TAC but he didn't let me down!!!

To the poster in the other thread that asked what was up with Prince saying "London and the world...let's go crazy" He knew it was being broadcast across the world! And I was glad to go crazy with him!!

Wendy, Lisa and Shiela all there.
Can't wait to see this tomorrow

Nice! Started with Te Amo Corazon, and took the guitar up just a notch (though I like the subtle approach on the song, and then segues right into Fury! AHHHH! And then Purple Rain with Let's Go Crazy (with Sheila E.?!?!?!) SWEET!

Well, judging by the audio, that went down quite well.

.

and that was it,

Ti amo, Fury, Purple rain, Lets go crazy

Fury was rawer than on SNL, too. No breath-taking solo as on SNL, but hot Rn'R!

Yea, I was thinking the same thing, but the man tore it up once again. It seemed like the crowd was pretty into it too. That made my day.

He's full of shit... he said he wouldn't perform the older songs anymore... that man has never stood by a single thing he's EVER said.

He was introduced as "Coldplay" to keep up the surprise

Sheila E was there
Wendy was there

TAC
Fury
PR and
Let's Go Crazy

Were played

Nice little performance


Guy that just won said he hopes to party w/ Prince later or something like that....don't we all (figuratively speaking)

So it did sound genuinely LIVE? As opposed to pre-recorded?

Sheila's unmistakeable to hear...but how do you know Lisa and Wendy were there too?

I had to smile when he came on to TAC. That's some balls to play an unknown track when everyone's expecting Chris fricken Martin

I am so glad he also played some of ther new stuff, and 'FURY' specially
Can't wait to see it tomorrow

Comments coming in on TV

"Prince has truely made his comeback complete"....."to a raptuous reception"

SexyBeautifulOne said:

Commentators said they were.

ok... the more i hear about this the more i hate XM for taking so long to send me my confirmation code... i got the station on about 1/2 way through Purple Rain

ITV better show that all in full tomorrow night, i need a decent rip of that.

Fabulous.

Fist song (Im on quartazone) cack and inapropriate

2nd song (Fury)...good if peopel knew it

Purple Rain..nice crowd pleaser

Lets Go Crazy....More of that please (drums were well dodgy to start with)


I think I will be uninstalling XM Radio because it is a fucking shambles

Teacher said:

did you actually believe him? does it really matter?

From what i heard - went down a treat. I got back from work - checked the org - it said that he was playign 'ti amo' - i was like How the fuck is that gonna go down?! Only caught the end of 'Fury', but the 2 djs sounded blown away. Great impassioned version of Purple Rain.

The only sad point is there's no way they'll play all of it on TV tomorrow


How did 'ti amo' sound..?

He should have done black sweat though..... instead of te amo or lets go crazy. i think the youngsters in london would like a bit of black sweat!!

but hey it was great anywayyyyy cant wait to watch it tomorrow!

i did think i heard little red corvette in the rehersal, it was only a short clip tho.... my bad!

Well couldn't he just shut the fuck up??

SDNafka said:

Yeah it was live...I know that he's been asked to do prerecorded before on UK tv (TOTP Holy River) and refused

purpledoveuk said:

Ah, come on. That was an at least good performance. "Good if people knew it"...really. Who gives a shit if people know it? I'm more than glad he did it.

I missed the radio broadcast. But I'm sure the torrents will surface soon enough.

pandemoniun6 said:

Oh I turned off XM and went to Oasis!! Which was freaking cool!! The commentators didn't know Prince was performing, they were in just as much awe as I was!

Do u honestly think it will be condensed for tv tomorrow?
