Synth sample sets. Now you might think that was fun, teasing us. But it shows that yer just lazy. HINT at Irresistible Bitch, then play Play That Funky Music? Plain foolishness.

it's all tease tease tease but no show

Really. Fun that Prince rediscovered jazz and all, but dayum, it makes that jamming REALLY, well, SINGULAR.

So. The O2 concerts. What we got? We got;

Horns. Loads of them. They get boring.

Jams. Endless jams. So you sing a few Partyman lines and then, again, a brass-jam. What fun. If I hear the words 'turn around' I will give you a major spanking.

Shelby. Powerhouse voice. True. But dayum, I came to a Prince show, right? Not the NPG Revue. Sing a few songs yerself, mr Nelson.

Covers. Play That Funky Music White Boy? WTF? Don't come to Las Vegas; we bring Las Vegas to you! Call me spoiled, but what the fuck is wrong with a song like, let's say, Something In The Water? What is IN your water anyways?

Maceo. Probably the least inventive of Prince's musicians. He comes on, blows a solo and everybody goes MACEOOOO! I go BORIIIIING. Stop it, Prince, you're not JB.

Bring back Eric Leeds. Maceo is cool, a legend, too much of a star on his own to be merely part of Prince´s band, and his sound is too dominant, too individual.

Eric on the other hand is the very definition of horns in Prince´s music. Who needs a whole horn section , really , when you have Eric Leeds. He´s the only sax player I want to hear in his music, if he really HAS to use horns at all.
Too bad that people are now so oversaturated with horns that they probably wouldn´t even appreciate Mr.Leeds anymore. At least he tell it like it is and is not one of those yes-men in the purple camp.
