Prince brought the funk with him to the Conga Room.

“Oldskoolcompany” kicked off the night again. Was that “Gett Off” I heard on guitar when going into the groove a few times? Slammin’!

At one point during “Musicology”, a dance party took place on stage with the likes of Tavis n Dr. West just straight getting down. You had to see the dance he was doing during “Play That Funky Music”, it was just too much.Cedric the Entertainer n Jesse Jackson couldn’t handle that.

Sheila E. Looked freaking amazing in a purple dress n killed it with “Glamorous Life”. Ooh la la.

The website was being shown off by one of the tech guys n people were allowed free reign. It seems like it should launch in March and some pretty killer footage is on it. I suck at mac’s so my experience was limited. ;(

Here the party may be continuing at 77……

More coming later. Oh yea how did those in attendance like that Coachella footage? Ok I said too much. See you all soon.-Dr.FB

Oh man, one day I'm going to be there to hear him play "When Will We B Paid?'' and I'm going to lose my mind.

Awesome. And they let us play with the website (a display was set up) and Dreamer is one of the songs set for release. There's also a place to read all the lyrics to the songs next to the downloadable sections.

The show last night was very special…Tavis must really have a good friend in Prince 4 him to do that 4 him. The highlight was definitely seeing Cornell West get down. Who know he can dance like that. Tavis should stick 2 talking though..lol.

The website http://www.lotusflow3r.com one word AMAZING…No one will be disappointed and the webmaster is so friendly. He answered all my questions with no hesitation.

Sheila E looked beautiful and ageless as usual. Like when Prince went back 2 1999 & “U got the look”. Cora has gotten a lot better on the drums…The harmonica player lot of energy he was gr8t addition to the band

Glad 2 know my money was donated to a worthy event and that Prince & the band donated ther whole fee 2 the event..

^ Great review! This now restarts the excitement for boththe new CDs and the website.

Any more detailed descriptions of either of the two new songs or lotusflow3r?

cool....

We still remain in the dark.

What sort of song was Dreamer?

Were you able to see the tracklists?

Were there any Price/membership fee indications?

Romeoblu said:

A rockish burner

Yes

Not mentioned or asked but coulda shoulda woulda

so can you remember the tracklists?

Are you willing to relay if you can?

xlr8r said:

Wow! Please could you tell us what you remember from the tracklists??
For example how many songs are on the albums (doesn't have to be exactly correct, but what do you think) and maybe some titles??

Is Dreamer a heavy song like Colonized Mind or more 'light' like Wall of Berlin if you look at the melody only?

Romeoblu said:

Dreamer
Valentine or was it Valente? from MPLS Sound
$
Boom
Old Skool Company
Never Be Another...
Forever
Crimson n Clover
Wall of Belrin
Colonized Mind

Sorry I had to repeat already known ones but both cds have like 8 songs each. I should have written them down but didnt feel like acting like I was reporting or investigating. Plus it was hard to hear any of the songs anyways becasue by then the dj was blasting music. Dreamer though live seemed like a civil rights type of song.


I think someone copied them down though so Im sure it will come out later.

The site is kind of nice but I can already see some people complaining about the graphics just to complain.

Oh and $ had luyrics about "ever been to a party and the rich have attitude" criticizing rich attitudes who dont know how get down and just have fun. Seemed reminiscent to lyrics of Illusion Coma Pimp and Circumstance kind of. I only read the beginning verse and my memory is shot. Sorry.

But while the website will be cool its basically three galaxies. One is for the Valente release, the other for MPLS release, and the other Princes release and sphere world to click Lotusflower release and his vids and pics. I think a lot of the pics are from that 21 Nights book release.

If he ever releases Coachella you will love it because it was professionally filmed and gives all views. From th e stage and others. The from the stage view of the crow is awesome. Think Guns n Roses "Paradise City" video.


Oh and that guitar u see in the video box on the website now? Its large and you can strum it and enter it for MPLS sound and a few other things. Each galaxy has the cd, lyrics, and 'look" sections. Pics are in the look sections.

The Valentine song is.. Hey Valentina, I presume

8 songs each.. that's not much. I expected 10 at least, but it's ok... as long as it's funky

Can't wait for the coming reports with more details about this now

Lotus Flower has more than 8 tracks.

the tracklist I was told is as follows

Lotus Flower
Crimson And Clover
Colonized Mind
Boom
$
The Wall Of Berlin
Love Like Jazz
4 Ever
77 Beverley Place
Dreamer

I can say 100per cent all these songs are on the album, could b a different running order.
