prince tribute band - Purple Reign played "Let's Go Crazy".

First time I've seen them. Pretty good actually. The guy did the splits but he made for a funny Prince.

Kinda weird. The real Prince was last on letterman in what 94-95. How does a tribute band get on national TV?

Just did a little research. See that it aired 11-17-2008. So a repeat. I will bet a million dollars this has been discussed ad nausem. My Apologies

Happy New Year

I couldn't agree more. Plus, having a tribute band is a sign that an artist or group has a huge following that is serious about the music. Look at who has tribute bands; Prince, Grateful Dead, Phish, DMB. Say what you want about these groups, but they have millions of fans who have loved the music throughout the years. You won't find many tribute bands for groups like Blink-182 or the like (Don't ask why I picked them; they worked for the example). Groups like that are basically flavors of the month when they come out with a hit and nobody cares about them after the song is off the top 40.

i think they were a bloody joke
way too cheesy for my liking
