The London show with Elton John

Just been listening to this show again, fantastic stuff and the aftershow isn't bad either.

Loved the quote "I don't make hits, I make music"

We were sitting right behind Elton John that night. Twas funny seeing him bopping around in his seat, although there was a woman with him that distracted me because she was a dead ringer for Kylie Minogue and I couldn't concentrate on Prince for the first half as I desperately needed to seize my opportunity to maybe meet Kylie. It wasn't her sad

Me and mrs funksoldier had front row on the floor that night and I "touched" Elton as he walked past. The aftershow was awsome too. My favourite ever Prince night.

When was this? I think I might've been there and if we're talking about the same show well... it was one of the best nights of my life cool

the bit that made me laugh at the main show was when P started the 'synth sample' encore set with the usual "i aint got no more hits" and then put on 'bennie and the jets', b4 shaking his head and waving his arms in the direction of elton, laughing. (2 b honest, with no disrespect 2 elton,when elton was up there 4 the earlier encore, he looked a little lost onstage with P)

Sound quality of the set is great too, one of my fave boots at the moment.

I remember in one of the reviews, it said Prince made Elton John look like an 'end of pier' act, I saw it, ahem... wink and I think that was so true, he did look like a bumbling amateur beside Prince - incredible! And, yeah, when he started to sing an Elton John song during the synth set and then he says "Oh no..." and looks confused, that was so funny, he's got great comic timing too!!
