Funky London post on 3121.com

from 3121.com
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 smile

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?

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 sad

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

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 smile

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 sad

Come back soon Mr P biggrin

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

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! lol

i am glad i am not the only person that thought that lol 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

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 sad

Well done though Prince smile

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

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

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

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 confused 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 neutral

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 biggrin

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

What do you mean "it keeps the bad people out". You should see the scum who live round my way.
There are three sides to every story. My side, your side, and the truth. And no one is lying. Memories shared serve each one differently
