After that, I went and asked this usher where my seat was. He showed me. I sat in Aisle 2, Row 6, Seat 1. Directly across the aisle from me was Weird Al Yankovic. The cat that had the hit "Eat It" with the parody of Micheal's "Beat It" video. I was pretty close to the screen. Anyway, right before the house lights went off, I got up to go get a soda in the lobby. I had this long walk up the aisle in the theatre. I felt all of these eyes on me as I was walking out but I didn't really care cuz I knew I looked cool! When I got in the lobby, (This is where I promised myself to stop this part of the story!).....During the film, people were constantly turning around to see Prince, who was actually sitting two rows back behind The Revolution. He walked in after everyone else was seated of course, to make his grand entrance. But all through the film, girls in the audience were screaming at every single thing Prince did on screen. In the first scene where P spoke his first line, some girl in the audience sreamed out "Oh my God, he really talks!" Everybody just started laughing. Girls were talking to the screen. Whenever a close up was on Prince, girls were starting screaming "Oh Prince is sooooo FINE!" "I Looooove You Prince!" After each musical number, people were cheering and clapping at. Like they were REALLY at a concert. Nothing was worse than when P actually kissed Appolonia. Girls in the audience went beserk. And the LOVE scene?...Forget about it. It was so loud in the theatre with girls screaming and shit. It was too much for them to take watching P have a love scene AND knowing Prince is actually sitting in there watching it with you. You couldn't hear any of the music during that scene. They screamed through the entire scene. It was surreal to see and to hear that. Girls were flipping out. God only knows what Prince was thinking. Right before the scene where his father was going to shoot himself, I heard all of this screaming again. I looked back behind me and I saw Big Chick, two other security cats and Prince walking out of the theatre. He left and didn't return.

Blackguitaristz, thank U so much for this, I really enjoyed it.
Too bad I wasn't born some years earlier...

Brutha B THANK YOU for that amazing story. It's probably one of the best stories I've read on here all year. You were at the right place at the right time. That's great that you got to rap to Dez. I don't know why anyone would hate on you for that story.

I remember being on vacation with my family and watching the premeire from the hotel room that night thinking it must have been incredible to be there. The "Palace" story was funny (lol).

Thanks dude, your posts were a good read as always!

Wow that is nothing short of amazing right there blackguitaristz. Thank you for sharing your story and all of your stories with us. They are always a treat to read and with this one, I felt like I was right there with you man.

Wow!!! Amazing story! I hardly ever post, but this is sooo beautifully told that I had to go wow!!! Lucky guy!

Ahh man! You got to do all that! You are one lucky guy! I wish I was alive and able to see that! =[

I think I am the youngest Prince Fan here...

Now this is my kind of thread!! I thought it was really cool when I first saw him at the premier, I thought WOW, he was REALLY there, that must have been such an amazing experience! I also thought, you should always wear something that makes you stand out from the crowd! You can't see how gorgeous he really is there though, he's got a cute face and beautiful eyes!!

That was a great story and thanks for sharing it with us. I was 13 going on 14 and I wish I was there. Those were great times back then. It's cool to hear from someone that was there because it makes everything more real.

Big Ups to Blackguitaristz

Oooh... I remember you telling me about this part of the story!! I LOVE that part of the story....

Thanks for sharing your story with us blackguitaristz.

I was 15 too when the film came out. I was sooooo excited to go see it (I think I went the day of release, or maybe then next day), I can't even begin to imagine how excited you must have been to be there at the premiere - especially at that age, and with Prince in the audience!

Purple Rain (the album and the film) had a huge effect on me, 15 is a great age to be influenced by someone like Prince

Love those gloves.

That was an awesome story.

Sometime, amongst all the "Prince's Nose, Hands, Feet," threads there is a gem that makes it all worth while.

Thank you - awesome story, made me feel like I was there (I wish, lol!).

Awesome story. You certainly have some memories. Dez does seem like a fine fellow. I just watched The Glory Days and his interview was very good.

Wonderful story BG thanks for sharing you were alucky man that night and of course seeing "your woman in my avy" up close and the real thing (I bet she was HOT that night )

Yeah, Lisa was CRAZY fine. The freak thing about it was that I didn't even realize that she was sitting in the row right behind Dez when I was talking to him.

okay. this isn't a good quality screencap but is this you? right behind apollonia?
