Has Prince ever done a New Years Show? He could do a really great one.

I think I recall something like that about 3-4 years back.

He did a couple shows at Studio 54 (MGM Grand Vegas) in 1999. I went one night, but it was mostly The Time. The next night is when Prince did a full set. I guess I picked the wrong night. Anyway, it was a good, intimate setting and a fun party.

1, The Rave Un2 The Year 2000 vid was pre-recorded earlier in December over 2 nights and shown as Pay Per View on New Year's Eve.

2. The most famous New Year's Eve show is probably at the end of 1987 at Paisley Park - a benefit concert for paying guests ... with Prince performing 'Auld Lang Syne' ( or what he knew of the the words) and Miles making a brief appearance.

Yup...Houston, TX 97-98...
I was there.

And the Rave shows, while not exactly at New Year's was close enough for me.
I was there too.

They were AWESOME by the way.

did you like the rave performance at the park? it didn't seem all that cool to me. kinda lame, really. still fun but i expected a better show since it was to be aired on pay per view.

The Rave show is so misunderstood by those that weren't there. While i agree the DVD version of it leaves a lot to be desired, to have been there is an experience that i wouldn't trade for anything. It was truely a special time to be in the Park. Bear in mind that it was a two night video shoot (although P's performance came strictly from night 2) and that there was probably a total of 7 or 8 hours of his performances from those 2 days. Sadly, it was cut so much, that it doesn't even come close to doing it justice. (Same thing goes for the Live at the Alladin show/DVD which I was there for as well.)
