hey he's an artist that needs 2 branch 4wards not backwards. there r places one can go 2 relive that old glory if they choose 2. doesn't mean u have 2 spend ur hard earned money seeing someone sing songs mostly created over 20-25 because someone has never seen him live b4. i know some would b happy about it because it's their 1st time and they'll take anything. but come on now, i look at things from a artist persepective only. he has multitudes of songs that have never been played live b4 or rarely played live. it's time 4 those songs and more importantly 4 prince 2 stick 2 his words by retiring those songs and moving forward.

what the heck does this UPDATE mean? I'm just confused ??

The Friday date MAY be wrong now ... but both events previously discussed ... WILL BE happening at this time ... our NY contact advised of a performance on Friday, it WAS TRUE at the time ... most important thing ... NY SHOULD be seeing Prince soon

so first it may be wrong but then it's happening at this time, then it was Friday per a NY contact, but now it should be soon - WHAT ??? Who writes this stuff? a writer??

Happy for all u NY orgers He just won't come to Ft. Worth will he ?

Well If I can't go I deffinately want to hear all about it. Our time will come.

Hi folks

The NYC show is now ON for Friday, however will be a small 250-300 people gig.

Housequake.com and prince.org are working together to bring fans a chance to win tickets to this exclusive show.

More as we get it.

Great.

Wall Street can use some Purple Joy at the moment.

OH LAWD.

Have fun for those who get to go. The weather in NYC right now is around the mid to upper 60s. Suppose to be at least 70 over the weekend, so if P lets out-of-town fans into his show on Friday, wherever that is, bring a jacket peeps, it gets a little cool in the evening around 55 - 60 degrees and bring an umbrella, chance of light rain in the forecast for the weekend.

Besides if Prince is coming to town, he's going to rock NYC as usual, so be prepared for some shaky ground as well.

Whomever gets to go, I look forward to reading your exciting reports. Have fun!

I excited and scared shitless. I hope the info doesn't come tonight cause I have some stuff I have to do. I'm praying HARD that I get in

purplecam said:

Hey, I just thought of you when I saw the update. I think the mods should give you an honorary ticket if they do a contest for fans.

Anyway, hope you get a chance to see him perform.

2elijah said:

Awwwww! Thank you 2elijah! I appreciate that a lot.

purplecam said:

No problem, let's hope it's actually true that he will be performing in NYC this Friday and you get to go. And if you do, throw your hands in the air and party like you just don't care NYC style...'kay?
[Edited 10/8/08 7:19am]

So do you have to live in NYC to attend this private party?

whoever goes, don't 4get - lotsa photos pleeease, & the jive by jive report! turn the orgers loose..

I just read this on the quake

OK folks - here's what I can tell you at this time

There will be a very exclusive charity show in aid of Urban Farming taking place in NYC on Friday night. This will be a four figure sum ticket cost, however a small number of very lucky fans will be give the chance to attend exclusively through Housequake and prince.org - more soon on how you can win those.

On Friday night / Saturday morning they'll be an aftershow which will still be reasonably expensive and hard to get hold of - we're taking 250 people TOTAL. However HQ & prince.org will be running a separate, more cryptic competition to win the chance to BUY tickets.

Stay tuned - a lot more is coming today for those with patience.

Please do not send me messages asking for more info privately - all good things come to those who wait !t saw the update on the quake

Cut the Front son.

PoorGoo813 said:

No, I hope he's not there. I don't want to hear him bitch and moan about how Prince is stuck in the past with playing nothing but old shit, if he plays the old stuff the majority of the show, cause you know that's what L4OA's gonna do. No, stay home Freddy. You my boy but nah playa.

urban farming in nyc?
shame the charity doesn't extend 2 the orgers!

however i'm so pleased he's involving himself with some charity stuff. i hope he does lots more chartity gigs...lots more! there's lotsa charities! loads in fact that could benefit from a prince show...in so many different countries

L4OATheOriginal said:

Freddy...my man.
Isn't the point of a concert to revue the songs released in an artists career?
Of course he'll play songs from Planet Earth (much 2 u'r dismay), and 3121, which R his 2 most recent releases.
I mean....U hated the Musicology tour because of the same reason, but he played Musicology songs in the mixas well as plenty of songs a casual Prince fan wouldn't know.
He also did the same for the ONA tour....so I don't get where U come off saying he only plays greatest hits.
ALL MUSICIANS PLAY GREATEST HITS IN CONCERT (unless it's conceptual, or if it's Lauren Hill....not falling in that trap. )





Besides.....U don't like any of his new shit anyway, so be happy.
Case Closed.
