sounds better on the cd. i dont know what was goin on with that. it wasnt horrible, it was just missin that WOW factor


I actually think everything he played over the passed 3 nights sounded better on CD. maybe just cuz it's still so new to me. still fun to watch tho


the only studio cut that I thought sounded slightly better was Old School Comapany

He absolutely nailed Dreamer and Feel Better. They may need to rework drums for live performance of Old School

If all Prince had to do to get his masters back, was write ONE last good song, he couldn't do it.


If by "good" one means as judged by people that apparently have no taste then, you're absolutely right.


Let me guess, you got taste, right?

Just curious, are you a musician? I'm interested in your technical analysis of how Cora is rising on the funk meter...


I am, I haven't got a real technical analysis. But if you see her 2006 performances it looked and sounded like she was really unconfortable with the funk (sometimes even off-beat mistakes) now she became better. I still prefer john blackwells funky breaks though.


Blackwell is one of the best band members Prince ver had

DJ Rashida's "a waste of space female DJ"? Prove your point.

Only dreamer stood out. The rest are funk jams that perhaps had I never heard Prince play a funk jam I would love it. He can still throw a party onstage, but not like he used to. I'd rather just see him play some sold tunes. Which his playing ability deserves.


YUP Dreamer headbang


I enjoyed Dreamers as well. His voice was clear...great effects/reverb on it. He looked good also...healthy.

This performance demonstrates Prince's skill on the ax, and Hendrix influence.

the initial two pages of posts on this thread are f... hilarious, think alot of us have had very little sleep the last week. Just for the record, on the "feel Good, Feel Better..." performance, I would give anything to know who the girl with the black mini and whitish top, who danced on stage near the end, is!!!

She is enough to make anyman give up celibacy and the need for viagra razz

You mean Bobby from the San Francisco / Bay area "Freaks on This Side" club? Yeah, Bobby's been on TV before. He's been on Leno before. He's a cool cat. Met him during the NPS Festival Tour when it hit San Francisco in October 1998.

If you have it, check out Bobby on Leno during "Come On" and the "Come On Remix."


Fun Bobby was always the man with all the energy at the Paisley Park celebrations in 2001 and 2002. He helped keep everyone going through the long nights smile

Of course Bobby is going to try his best to be there when it comes to Prince. Hey Bobby, thanks for representing for all of us Bay Area fans who couldn't make it!

No, Prince isn't quitting the tonight show. Jay Leno, the host, is leaving next month. Prince will be playing on that last episode as well. Once Jay Leno leaves as host, Conan O'Brien is taking over.

For all UK viewers, the last of the 3 consecutive Prince appearances is on this evening's (Monday's) airing of The Tonight Show. CNBC channel (channel 505 on Sky digital) at 11pm. The guest should show up on the on screen guide as Dana Carvey. cool

Dreamer on Friday night's show was just eek cool

Doesn't it seem like Prince forgets the words during Dreamer?
Goes into "Peanut butter logic.." then it kind of degenerates into nothing.

OK, Prince has put on better performances, but he still kicks more ass than most the the idiots out there today, who pretend to be artists. believe me, if MJ can even come near, to putting up such performances, at the O2 i will be damned, but then again, they all went wild with his lame attempt at a press conference...FACT

Guys that performance was totally weak... and that's coming from someone who likes the song on record. Really lame auto-pilot Prince was on display last night.



I thought I was the only one who felt this way, but the performaces got better each night, but still something was off.
Last night, when I showed a friend the performaces. I had said " there something OFF about him, he's just going thru the motions." My friend agreed and said "he doesn't look happy, not like when we saw him in NYC in October. He seem much happier... there he was smilin' and havin' fun."
She was right, he didn't look happy. Maybe there is something going on with Bria.. since she didn't perform, and on the first night,Jay said that "he would be performing something from EACH cd."
