Funky London
Prince’s 21-night, sold-out stand at the O2 in London received the top Boxscore award at the fourth annual Billboard Touring Awards (source: Billboard.com). Thank u once again 2 Funky London 4 making this past summer a truly un4gettable xperience.


Cheers Prince, the gigs especially the aftershows, really were amazing and I've seen quite a few top acts live, but think your gigs were prob the best I'll see

Anyone else have to stand there and sigh on that last night when they saw those big electronic signs rolling a thank you note to Prince outside?

Oh don't, I can't bear it, it makes me miss him all over again, it's bad enough on a normal day

Great to read him thanking us again though eh? You know, I think he really did love his time here

Come back soon Prince.....

I can't seem to go to the O2 to watch other stuff now... especially the Spice Girls lol! what an insult they are there miming after the great music talent of Prince! Come back anytime Prince

I KNOW! I was thinking of going up there to see the Tutenkamen (sorry spelling!) thing, but I know my heart will sink when I get there and .... No Prince

Wouldn't it be great if he did every summer at Indigo2? Like just at the weekends or something?

prince should come & live in the uk!
it's nice & cold...keeps the bad people out
he could inject some funky culture around the country
there's plenty of kingdom halls!

btw, the house next door 2 me is 4 sale...he could pop round 4 cup of tea & i could borrow some sugar now & again

erm... whats that got to do with Funky London post on 3121???

Jeffiner said:

It would be great but I'd sure have to work hard all through the rest of the year because I wonder if we'd ever be treated to £31.21 or £25 for an aftershow ever again! Glad I made the most of it when I could

Jeffiner said:

Yes! That way he can make up for lost time

Ellie said:

I know it was hard to believe it was all over but glad it happened

I think that's what you call a cryptic message

FUNKY FUNKY LONDON You feel for me like I feel for you? Ok, I'm going now.....

nothing, i just couldn't think of something else to say that was relevant.

I saw this thread and I started to sing. Just couldn't help it!!!

sosgemini said:

Hey sosgemini - I see you like 'Am I Not Your Girl?' I LOVE that album, but I don't know many people who like it or even know of it - one of my all time favs

i cant believe its been 2 months since i was standing in the Indigo2 aka 3121 waiting for the last aftershow feels like forever (maybe not forever but you get the idea) and london doesnt seem 1/2 as funky since he left

Come back soon Mr P

cos 'Oh Funky Paris/Holland/Rome/Australia/Somewhere in the US' doesnt sound nearly as good as 'Oh Funky London'

b3xy said:

NO it doesn't - that's an important point!

darrenj said:

Heeeyy Funky LONDON!

Yep b3xy doesn't sound as good with another city name... thats not me saying that cause I'm in the UK, just can't hear it right in my head with another... maybe it wont be 'oh funky' before it, so London will stay known as 'the' funky place!

themusicthatcounts said:

i am glad i am not the only person that thought that though i did try and think of a place which sounds okay on the end of 'Oh Funky....' but nothing works and where ever he goes next they are gonna struggle to ever beat how funky london was this summer

he should come back to London to do a warm up gig before starting the tour again

Jeffiner said:

sweet!!! i was just listening to it last week...i love her version of How Insensitive.

themusicthatcounts said:

i Love Good News Congratulations Prince

sosgemini said:

It's beautiful, I like B,B&B too

Come back Prince

I went to see George Clinton at the indigo the other week. It just didn't feel right, no big crowds, plenty of space on the tube home and no "Thank you Prince" lights outside

Heeeeeyyyy funky London just brings it all flooding back

Well done though Prince

Check out the UK reviews of F.U.N.K. on itunes, the UK wants you Prince

HotPaisleyGirl said:

it was the same when i went 2 see Maceo back in october it was a great gig but no where near the same there wasnt any big crowd when you arrived, it was all over by about 11pm definately strange after going 2 the aftershows, and it generally was far quieter even the security guy on the door at the indigo mentioned how quiet and boring it had been since Prince had left

b3xy said:

Yeah, I was tempted with the Maceo gig, but only cause I thought Prince might turn up!! Shallow! Philistine!

Prince needs to come back to his house.....soon.....

Jeffiner said:

it was a good gig but it lacked things that i had got used 2 at Prince aftershows firstly it seemed short he was on stage with his band for about 90mins it could have been less i cant remember exactly and the shakespeare thing took the strangeness to a whole other level and the fact it was all over by 11pm was even weirder and you left to emptyness, i never thought the O2 could seem so strange

but that being said it was a good gig it was the first time i had seen Maceo with his own band and i would definately go again if i got the chance. His flute playing was brilliant

and yeah Prince needs to get back to his house soon!
