Penny, u would have enjoyed it. Even at that time, the place was PACKED! P had more of a cult following type of audience back then. Not like during the Purple Rain tour when everybody and their brother, who previously didn't even like Prince, because of the film, they jumped on the bandwagon and showed up to a concert. Back then, it wasn't remotely close to that. If u were at THIS concert, it was because u were a bonafide fan. The whole mob of rude boys and rude girls were there. U could tell by the way everybody dressed, wore their hair, etc, who was a fan.

Heh. One of the books I've read said Vanity and Jill used to pitch a bitch when P would send for Susan. Frankly I don't see what they were pissy about... she'd known him the longest and from the story told was more attuned to his moods than either of them.

blackguitaristz said:

Indeed blackguitaristz these r the type of stories I love hearing about. Prince is so gifted. His energy, talent, showmanship, mannerism, looks u name it is so undeniable even now. Do u think P had any of these shows taped during that time and era?

No question.

The second one,...I have never seen before. I know it's from the 1999 photo session because of the venetian blinds. Great shot.

The third one, from the Controversy tour. That's when P started to move into his 1999 look with his hair. He just had a little piece of curl sewed in the front and he was good to go. If u look at the Controversy promo shots, which one of them, Krys posted, P's hair that comes over his eye, is his and is pressed straight. But after going on tour on the first leg, P would be sweatin' and shit, his hair would rough up. Like during the Dirty Mind tour. He didn't want that look anymore. So, he just added a hair piece with a curly texture to it, placed that over his eye, and he could sweat to kingdom come and he'll still have the curl in the front. The rest of his hair would be rough as fuck!. This was on the second part of the Controversy tour.

Like the second one with Dez during "Why You Wanna Treat Me So Bad?" solo ending. Dez was cool as hell.

Crazy in a good way!

These pics are awesome Krys, never seen most of them. I need good pics for a drawing and it looks like I've got what I need here. You know what a good thread is
How cool wouldn't it have been to actually be there and experience these moments...

The middle one is an alternate version of the cover of P's 12' of Let's Work. That one of course is black and white. This one was sold as a poster, in color, at the show in Santa Monica. I've had it ever since. Notice the word "GOD" right behind Dez.

Krystal666 said:

Cool. That's the pic that was inside Rolling Stone that featured P's first cover story.

I know...I think I was born the week of the Rolling Stones fiasco! It would be so cool to see Prince live back then...not only was the show like , considering that place in time I think overtly sexual stage acts really freeked people out as well as titilated them... ...but the music was like disco meets rock and roll and funk! So orginal..just made you want to get up and DANCE!!!!
