this is one of my favourite pix.., that shirt... razz

so i completely empathize with u jeff..
but a yr ago today i was living in ignorant bliss!

i'll won't ever 4get the chills & thrills of watching him perform 4 the first time..
i don't remember any shimmying on his stomach, in fact there weren't any extreme dance moves on the 21st..but wow! the band & guitar, i was in heaven!
the setlist was totally amazing,
& what struck me was the love, & u can really feel it..sooo much love & high energy in tht room, & he was so proud of his 21 nights..'21 nights, i think so'...
sky news filmed 1st part of the concert - i watch now & have 2 pinch myself cuz i was there!..i was ecstatic 2 hear love bizarre, i remember it was short & sweet, but felt like he sang it 4 me alone!
the setlist, full of the hits, all my faves, it couldn't have been better.
purple rain was something else.. nothing had EVER sounded so good - & my life hasn't been the same since ;-)


That's Prince for ya! biggrin

That Sky News clip, you should have seen me, I was SO excited watching it on TV, I was jumping around the living room like GO PRINCE!!!! I was nearly in the TV!! I wanted to be there....My little boy, was looking at me like I'd lost my mind! lol He NAILED IT though....as always! wink


yessir!
heart controversy..

That was on his website at the time, they said something like, he didn't want to give anyone his 'head cold' and something about the Ladies not being able to take looking into his eyes, hence the shades!

I took my two children to their first (but not their last) Prince concert.

Did they love him as much as you? wink

They really enjoyed it (but they both enjoyed the last night more).

I was there that night and it was a fantastic show. It was the 2nd of my 12 shows at the O2 and one of the best. I was also there on the opening night and missed the final encore when he came out with just his guitar for company, so was delighted that he started this show with a solo guitar segment. biggrin

Cool! Yes, EVERYONE was talking about that, if I didn't know better I'd have thought it was a publicity stunt, because at every show after that people were 'waiting' for the final, final, final encore from Prince in his dressing gown... lol However, knowing Prince (as I do wink ) it was just a spur of the moment thing, a need to get back out there, soak it all up, he was probably on a real high too...

Pics of him at the Press Conference.... 21 Nights!!

And, WHO was it that laughed when he said he was going to study the bible? Whoever it was should have been shot on the spot! That was the end of the press conference, just when he was getting into his stride!

I thought he wore turquoise suit (at least for the first part), then black bowler or fedora, but not sure which suit.....whatever he wore that was one funky nite!

actually that shot gives me the blues since a funky stage of a blessed time in prince's career and was wasted on songs that have been played 2 death. the o2 shows sound wise r boring ...prince did get it right by focusing this book with a cd from indigo where it was popping...

i can't belive it's been a year since this train wreck of a tour began


Don't you think he really had to play the 'hits' though L4OA? 22,000 people didn't come every night NOT to hear Kiss etc... It's just a fact, you have to give people what they want! He covered all angles by doing the Indigo shows too... I don't know how you can call it a 'train wreck' when it was so incredibly successful either! wink


ahh no he didn't have 2 do those songs since the musicology tour was supposed 2 b the last time the same songs he did in london were played. a friend of mine who also has heard all 21 nights put it like this "when he was in vegas he sounded fresh, in london he sounded tired and the band didn't have the same energy" i think if u ate the same food over and over, u would get tired of it and that's how prince's concerts have been 4 the last couple of years, tired and uninspired. that stage is hot as blazes and even on the dvd's i have seen of this tour, he was coasting. indigo shows where were he stretched his legs somewhat and challenged the audience.
man, he has such an amazing body of music that it's sad to see him constrict it down to the basics. he's too talented for the lineup he's doing. estelle 81

He did do a few more final, final encore. There was one night where everyone thought we'd seen it all and then just as I was about to give up and head to the aftershow, the techs set up his sampler keyboard. I'd not been overjoyed with the sampler sets as part of the main show but as a final encore when you thought the show had finished for good, it was a sweet, sweet bonus and I thoroughly enjoyed that particular set. smile
