Prince Possible BBC Radio 2 Set - April

According to Popbitch, Prince will be doing a BBC Radio 2 set in April. Not sure how true this is but worse things get posted on here!

I was just listening to the BBC1 Radio set from around 1993. What an incredible performance that was. Hope the rumour is true.

september 7, 1993

prince plays a 20-minute set in front of an audience of 250 fans in a small concert hall at bbc's broadcasting house in london. the concert was broadcast live over simon bates' show on bbc radio one. bates had received a phone call three days earlier from prince's organization, saying that he wanted to do the show primarily to thank all of the fans in the uk who couldn't make it to the wembley concerts.

prince kicked off the radio concert with the "1999" medley. although it was a bit shorter than usual, it included "pope." prince stopped the jam with the words, "what's my name? confusion. thank you!" a raunchy version of "peach" followed on immediately. the song went into the "chaos and disorder" segment and ended in total guitar mania. the audience erupted in applause and the brief gig was over.

The BBC only archive shows for 1 week after transmission but this service has only been around for a couple of years so your not going to find something from 1993 on there are you?

Shame really, I remember listening at the time and thinking "this is the best thing I have ever heard in my entire life" lol

If he's going to do promo over here there should definitely be a Special edition of "Later with Jools Holland". How cool would that be?!

Seem to remember that you can email Later with guest suggestions. Maybe we should get on it...

Good call. Hadn't even thought about that. Love Jools' show. Only problem is I've (too often) heard performances and thought the couple of songs the bands have played were fantastic, bought their albums and found that they're crap. Best example is 'Plant Life'.

I've also seen Jools and his band live three times. Brilliant show.

Yeah but I'm sure they've done a few shows focussing on a specific artist so he'd get more than just a slot next to other bands. It would be really cool if they'd do a Prince special where maybe Tamar, Sheila E, Kip Blackshire, W&L could be showcased too.

I think I'd kill to be in the audience for a show like that!

I heared that on Radio 2 this morning, and so can you...
go to http://www.bbc.co.uk/radi...sday.shtml and click the "TUE" on 'Listen Again' banner. Keep clicking the "5min" forward button until you hear "FURY" and keep listening to what he said after.
