Not 100% cool with it...but not as anti-Vegas as I was initially. Of course most people who go write positive reviews...even a 'bad' Prince concert is better than most artists' good concerts. I will only be able to decide definitively once I see for myself...Yes, I know that's kinda hypocritical but I won't believe that it's not cheesy or sucky unless I see it first hand.

I wish there was a little compendium of setlists that he was doing every week with a brief description.

Normally, when Prince tours in any capacity, I'm all about reading the concert reports.

But for some reason, I can't be bothered right now. Somebody make it easy on me and give me the hard facts. biggrin


Housequake's tour forum has all of the 3121 Vegas reports. They have been creating one thread for every night he performs and most of them have complete or close to complete set lists.

don't know that I'd take a review seriously, if it used words like "sucky" in the description.

No, but shrug. He's Prince. He'll be on to something else soon enough.

The Vegas thing is completely irrelevant to me as it's something I won't get to experience. He may as well have kept quiet over the winter months for all the entertainment value his Vegas stint is doing me and the majority of other Prince fans.

But for those who do get to go, I genuinely hope and I'm glad you are having a good time, but at least think about the rest of us for whom this move is somewhat of a white elephant.

The only ones who could complain is europeans. Being shut out for 4 years.

Maybe wink
When we talk about Vegas we think about Elvis ,Tom Jones or Celine Dion,we can't imagine Prince doing this.After seeing the pics here it's clear he has created his own little enviroment overthere.
And yes,if he would play in Brussels or Paris 4 the next 6 months in a cheesy club,I don't think I would complain about it lol

My Vegas experience was unforgettable. I always knew that Prince doing Vegas would be unlike anyone else doing it.

I never doubted him for a second. cool

Was this back in May? Or have you gone since?


This was back in May. I saw him at the Rio w/ LG that Friday and at the Empire the next day.

I had planned to go again Dec 22nd and 23rd but he's not performing so I'll wait for Feb.
Prince, in you I found a kindred spirit...Rest In Paradise.

Do you really think all of the good reports are lies? Come on P puts on a good shows. I never believed this was going to be a bad venture for him.

1. Where did I say I thought the good reports were lies?

2. My point was that even a "bad" Prince show is a good show compared to whatever other crap is availbe.

3. Just because he's putting on good shows (or bad shows) doesn't mean I have to be 100% cool with a Las Vegas gig.

4. RIF

I'm cool with it; I'm not cool with the fact that I don't live in Vegas. If I did, I'd watch him perform EVERY weekend!!

For those of us geographically lucky enough to have experienced Club 3121 - it's been a blast! I'm sorry for those who haven't been able to attend due to distance. I've always been jealous of the Minneapolis Paisley Park shows and after parties - the New York jams, etc... so, really - regardless of where he plays, someone's going to be sad he isn't near them.

The show is worth it! Worth the drive, worth the cost, worth the sore feet... worth the wait. I am going to go back next year, this time maybe I'll fly - it'll only take an hour or so by plane, instead of 4-5 hours by car.

Being at this site for so long, it's obvious to me that Prince will never be able to please all of us, all of the time. Personally, I'm so glad he's doing Vegas - his way, the way I knew he'd do it. (I was never worried)

Now on to Super Bowl! A half-time show, no doubt, like no other... dancing jig
