My Goodness Sweden and Norway has he ever played Norway ,Netherlands before? How exciting for all the fans who have Never seen him and also for Prince and the band. How cool. So who knows when he's last played these kinda places?

Your sent to try to make Prince look good no matter what.
Fess up and tell everybody the truth.

Listen Ireland? All these places he has Never played before . Now you tell me who's Old? And now can everybody Understand why he is quiet now and not doing Friday night gigs? He is resting and getting ready for an Extensive European tour. Oh,my God this is Terribly exciting for Prince ,the Band and the Fans. It's going to be Great. Prince Rules!

Has he ever played in the netherlands before|???

He opened his nude tour there. The released Sign O The Times movie was partly filmed in rotterdam...

euh

He's certainly played the Netherlands before and although in 98 he only played 3 London gigs, I remember him playing huge venues in London in the past (Earls Court, Wembley) for 5 and 7 nights also.

Not counting aftershows he played:
In 1987: 34 shows in Europe, in 1988: 32 shows, in 1990: 51 shows, in 1992: 33 shows, in 1993: 28 shows and in 1995: 21. Those are all more than the 19 announced now.
Only 1981, 1986 and 1998 were less than that.

Has he played Norway before too: In 1988 and 1993.

And The Netherlands? Of course! As a matter of fact The Netherlands (also known as Holland) has been the only country in Europe he visited on every single tour he did here ever since his 1981 Dirty Mind mini tour of UK, Netherlands and France.
Then in 1986: 3 shows, 1987: 7 shows, 1988: 3 shows and an aftershow, 1990: 3 shows, 1992: 6 shows, 1993: 2 shows, 1995: 2 shows + 2 aftershows and 1998: a show and aftershow in August and a show and aftershow in December.

A total of 29 shows and 5 aftershows.
For the record: UK was left out in 1987, and France and Germany in 1995 (so in no other European country he played on ALL his European tours.)

My Goodness everybody should Just be So Damn Excited I know I am and I'm not even going. Wow just think of all the New and exciting Venues and So many German dates and English dates, and Sweden and it's been such a long time how Very Exciting. I wish Prince and the band much Fun.

I just think everybody should be Thankful that Prince is doing 19 shows in Europe so far. We all must Stop complaining and thank God. You may want more shows and I know I do for N.Y. but this is what Prince is Doing. Be Thankful and Just go to as Many Shows as you can. Remember there is Only one Prince who is Magnificant and Enjoy.

Please natasha, be cool and CALM.
Yes it's great. Yes I'm excited.
But there is history: see the above post by JooZt.

Art,Amsterdam, Holland.

Don´t 4get that he played the infamous Paard van Troje aftershow in H O L L A N D!

O.K.Art maybe it was more in the past,but Still what a Great and exciting thing for now. It is wartime and he's travelling and going all over,what a great thing it is.

Correctomundo! He obviously loves the Netherlands very much! But than, it must be said for once and for all: the Dutch are the most difficult people to get on the dance floor, and once you got them there they are the funkiest on earth

Natasha, if you watch the SOTT video, all shots of the audience were recorded in Rotterdam Ahoy' - Holland (Netherlands). If you watch the Lovesexy 1988 show: although the concert was in Germany (Dortmund), on demand of Prince the majority - if not all - of the tickets were sold in the Netherlands, so also a Dutch audience there.

They really are going to some cool places!

Good Luck on your tour Prince and the NPG.
Have Mad Fun!
