Top secret rehearsals got underway in London 4 Prince and his 21 night stand in London’s O2 Arena. Prince and the gang must have missed one another, cuz it was like a big ol’ party up in there… they played “Sexy Dancer” mashed up with “Chelsea Rodgers” 4 25 minutes straight! 5 other new songs from the new CD Planet Earth were heard but we promised not 2 give away which ones. A few more days 2 tighten up perhaps, but what we heard sounded dead on the record. Marva King and Shelby r backing up The Twinz and Prince on vocalz and it kicks! The jazz set in Montreux kicked this crew up a notch, cuz these dates in London r shaping up 2 b like a big aftershow jam session… with no setlist and alot of improv. This lineup has got the chops 4 it. Bring ur rollerskates and afro wigs, people. They going back 2 1978 when r boy got his start… Hope he leaves those leopard leotards at the crib tho!

Damn, sounds like London's gonna get some killer shows! No setlists?!?!

I'm praying that a UK TV Channel screens one of the concerts.

Please Channel 4, make it so.

If this is accurate I'm crying with jealousy right now. I hope he does stuff like Sexy Dancer, etc. It seems like he does these great little gems in warm-ups/rehearsals and then leaves them out of the show.

Have fun to all those people who are going!!

oh great, another setlist consisting of half assed versions of great songs. If anyone dare's jump on me for this you can just f&%k off and go watch the PRain DVD extras and wallow in the Rock Funk live FULL version of Take me With U, which is stunning to say the least. Prince is now lazy on record BUT if he gets too lazy in concert then that Golden Goose will fly away!.
Come On P enough of the Vegas medley shit, just give us full versions of what we adore.

You must want to receive a lot of f*&k off's (LOL)

It don't matter what P does it will be funky and jamming!

Alls I gotta say is I hope P has a little bible.

I am so green with envy... but thats okay cause green's my fave color. but i saw this on 3121.com and it sounds so awesome. there a pic of the outside of a building- could that be where the rehearsals took place?

listen, i got 2 dates that are front row and as soon as i see him on that stage again all my criticisms will fall away in a split second. I love the dude, but who would not wish for full versions of classics rather than just 2 minute mixed up jams.

No need to get all riled up, my good man. You can bet your ass that there will be a setlist. The NPG may be good, but pulling off a 100% improvised show would be a nightmare for anyone.
