Long story... although was at 1st Ave the night before missed getting a ticket.
The next day the sun was blazing hot and could not be in two places at the same time so I chose to go to Macy's and miss 1st Ave... Sure wish I was there though... I am glad you had fun

It has been a pretty awesome year to become a supporter of Prince. I got to see/hear about all of these amazing events. I'm not sure if I could rank them in order or anything. But I can say what the most amazing moments have been.

1. SuperBowl HalfTime show
* "Purple Rain"= enough said (got me here, didn't it?)

2. NAACP acceptance speech
* Prince has been snubbed at awards before (Grammys ), so I had no idea he was going to win in the first place
* He actually had a speech prepared and it was history in the making (= the first verse of an awesome new song, Planet Earth)

3. 7/7/07
* Could it be a coincidence that on the same day I expanded my album collection from 8 to 12 on a major shopping spree where I finally couldn't resist spending all I had... that same night, Prince was touring Minneapolis, doing show and show... just like he did during the Lovesexy tour [got this from "Prince at Paisley Park"]
* An occasion that proved that he still can do multiple shows in a night w/o breaking a sweat... aka: "He's still got it goin' on"

4. PFunk
* In light of the negativity here, he writes/records a song overnight in response to the skeptics/haters/ex-fans that is arguably one of the best songs he's written in a LONG time (according to some anyways)
*The story behind its creation is reminiscent of "When Doves Cry"... song written overnight and becomes a huge hit (for most, anyways)

Those were some moments that blew me away and I got a frontrow seat to them.

Who says late bloomers missed out on ALL the fun/funk?

sorry didn't mean to - couldn't help myself - i mean you just had to be there

Its been a fun and interesting year for Prince fans worldwide to say the least! Although the year isn't over yet there are some notable mentions I'd like to list as my top favorite Prince moments of 2007! List your top FAVORITE Prince moments here too!

In no particular order.....

1. Superbowl Performance - absolutely amazing!


2. Superbowl Press Conference when Prince walked in, went up to the mic, said something like "contrary to rumor I will be accepting a few questions". Places his hand by his ear to take the first question, the second the reporter starts to ask the 1st question, Prince drops his hand and signals the band to play and they start the first song what a Classic dis moment if I ever saw one!!!!


3. Alma Awards - Prince and Sheila performing at an Awards show together again and walking off the stage holding hands together -

4. 7.7.7 - the whole day! 3 shows in one day, what a treat!


5. 7.7.7 - Target Center - Sheila and Prince in matching Purple outfits

6. 7.7.7 - Target Center - Prince having a James Brown feel good moment - I used to watch footage of the young women screaming over the Jackson 5 and the Beatles thinking, whats the big deal they are only dancing, until this very Prince moment, I thought those women were silly until I felt the same way... what a sexy motha-shutyomouth!!!!!

7. 7.7.7 - First Avenue - Prince's entrance onto the stage - The Twinz waiving those fans - P walking in like a pimp, Classic!!!!!

8. 7.7.7 - First Avenue - The look on Cora's face when Prince said "We gonna be here to the morning!" Priceless! At 1am, She had to be pooped and realized she had at least another 2 hours to go! She rocked it out big time!

9. 7.7.7 - First Avenue - The look on Sheila's face when the authorities were standing right beside her trying to shut the show down. She glanced at P who signaled the Band to play yet another song - you could see the internal dilemma of her not knowing whether to listen to the authorities standing right beside her or her boss - she went with Prince of course!

10. 7.7.7 - First Avenue - Prince, Sheila, Wendy on the same stage again at First Ave

11. 7.7.7 - First Avenue- When the authorities shut the show down - Prince making the promise he would indeed be back - he looked touched by the outpour of love and suppport he receive that day and wasnt ready to leave - forever!!!

12. Chelsea Rodgers Video - Associated Artists Moment - The Twinz killing that runway walk and Shelby's presence proves what a star she is!!!!!

13. Release of PFUnk - nuff said

14. S.H.O.E. sneak peak leak -

15. Minnesota Hall of Fame - no show - for being the last state to play his music from the beginning- what did they expect? bigger question, why did it take so long? Good move on Prince's part whatever the reason for the no show was!

16. Prince performs with Stevie Wonder at MSG - Superstition

I know there are more.....post it here!!

Ah glad you heard it, it was amazing just hairs stand on the back of your neck stuff, great Hope you see him doing it really soon

for me it was hearing Prince mix in Nasty Girls on stage in London. Just plain old nastiness!!!! THAT was the highlight of my year with Prince.

The Superbowl, was really seeing Prince at his height...I adored the experience for him, and as a spectator, in front of the television. It was truly an eventful feeling that night.
Knowing, how many people were near, gathering, on behalf of our friendly Prince, on stage.
