Prince Tops Telegraph UK @ www.3121.com The top 10 gigs of the year 2007
Source: Telegraph UK It was the year when the question on everyone’s lips was ‘Have you got a ticket?’ We pick our critics’ highlights from a hectic 12 months of concert reviews 1 Prince Nothing in British music history has come close to Prince’s run of 21 live shows at the O2 arena. It seemed that everyone went, and everyone had an opinion. Here are just a few from our reviews of the entire series. Concert 5: Aug 10 Band leader, singer, dancer, sex god: it was like watching James Brown in his heyday. DC Concert 7: Aug 14 There weren’t any splits in the air, like he did in his younger days. BO Concerts 8&9: Aug 17 &18th He’s the kind of revolutionary who sells scent to the impressionable but gives his new album away free with a conservative newspaper. AOH Concerts 10&11: Aug 24 & 25 He rode the guitar as if he was mounted on a wild stallion. HA Concert 12: Aug 28 He reminds me of a latter-day Cliff Richard - a great entertainer. JLW Concerts 13&14: Aug 31 & Sept 1 He’s always known that pop music is, first and foremost, about sex. MB Concert 16: Sept 9 What Prince needs is a firm and disciplined director. CS Concert 17: Sept 12 I love him. I would very much like to marry him. BG Concert 21: Sept 21 He defies the crowd not to believe this is the greatest show on earth. I for one am convinced.
