This is turning out to be an amazing thread!

i understand it 2 a degree since i can't let go of the notions that prince used 2 do a tour supporting his newer material instead of 90% greatest hits 5% covers and the last 5% on his NEW material

and not 2 mention i can't let go of the notion of 1994-early 1996 where proclaimed prince was dead and he's only going 2 do nothing but new music live

Hey Dr. Fink you were a part of Prince's most creative amd imaginative peroid in his life. From the early Prince album to Lovesexy. Did you know from the beginning that Prince would become an extraordinary artist? Did Prince have a game plan from DIRTY MIND and on? I still think you were Prince's best keyboardist a long with Lisa. U and her were a faboulous one/two combination. That Lovesexy/sign band was his best of all time!!!

Yes it is, but only in small doses, otherwise it means living in the past.....

Strutter said:

U're oh-sooo right.

Sophianestesia said:

Nostalgia is ok, but imagine Prince running around on stage in a day-glo purple trench coat on stage with a mid 80's fancy perm?..nah ta.....

Strutter said:

Please no.... not now.

Sophianestesia said:

Imagine it would be so cool, fancy legwarmers, the lot.....lol

Strutter said:

I get the picture. Not fitting nowadays. Now, please.... stop.

That ship has sailed...

It would have been best if it happened in 2006, when 3121 (the other number album) was released.

Think of it this way, there's a group of six very talented people out there who made a very impressive mark on music (and film) history. All of them have taken the experience and made their own lives out of it. I don't think there's an "expiration date" on that kind of chemistry, do you?

I personally think a reunion is likely to happen at some point. I think it could end up being "The Dark Knight" of concert tours, breaking records and growing bigger as it goes based on word of mouth.

I've read comments about Prince not wanting to "go back", which I find kind of funny. Take a look at his set lists.

You know what's more exciting to me than the thought of a Revolution tour? The new music that would come from that group of people jamming with each other.

Anyway, I speculate.

yes the xpiration date was 1986

and i agree with u about his set list and i will say it again, it's TIME 2 LET THAT GO!!! the media, his fans keep him in the past tho ..let him b the person and most importantly the artist he was born 2 b, free with no restrictions.

so if u happen 2 c him live and he doesn't play ur favorite song from the 80's, so what? there is a lot of music stored away that hasn't seen the light of day and it's time 4 that material 2 have it's day in the sun, not some past glory efforts.

i dont cee nothing wrong about jamming with your old friends

toots said:

Hey toots, wassup?

toots said:

Yes.

It's like this, people:

Prince and the Revolution is like The BEATLES.

Prince and the NPG is like Paul McCartney and Wings.

Nobody is giving up on The Beatles. Knowwhadimsayn?

It is like this :sarcasism

JudasLChrist said:

and what is wrong with Wings? NOTHING

what's wrong with the NPG? NOTHING

what's wrong with the revolution? PLAYED OUT AND OVERATED

deal with it

Hew that's great that you like the NPG. No need for this disccusion to get heated.

I myself will never forget how it felt to witness Prince and the Revolution back in the day. Watching any live video footage from of them still give me goosebumps. The absolute originality of it, the electro and the New Wave. The chemistry of the band. 1979 through Sign O'the Times is WHY I'm a Prince fan.

I'm with ?uestlove who says that The Revolution was the last great band. Still exiting to me to this day.

Matt
Mark
Bobby
Wendy
Lisa
& Prince 4-Ever!

I feel like ANY tour of Prince would suit me these days - no cancellations then, please
