It looked great, way better than the 'jellyfish' background. It was Blackwell indeed, my favorite

It really was a fantastic performance. I like the way he always does something unexpected and different:

Night 1 = Freaky Funk Prince
Night 2 = The Prince of Rock
Night 3 = Party Prince, and now...
Night 4 = Balladeer Extraordinaire Prince

His command of subtlety, timing and his ability to switch registers with complete ease and control is really quite mind blowing.

is that the harmonica player with the big fro?

Where and when is he per4ming next?? I can't get enough of Prince!!!!

Help!

I'm watching Jay but he hasn't mentioned Prince yet Prince is listedon the directory.

Is Billie Crystal on the same show?

I loved it too. Great choice of song, and the arrangement was very nice!

looks like Grupo Fantasma

I wanted to hear a nice smooth falsetto song and he did it. :justabeamin':

If you think about it, it really is a jazz influenced song to begin with. He does some nice riffing on the album. However, I did like the bigger improv/smokey bar feel he did on Leno. I loved the set too. Much better than past ones (or lack thereof).

I was tired, I fell asleep at 11:00, the Tonight Show comes on at 11:35 where I live. I just woke up thinking that I probably missed Dance4Me or something so awesome I was gonna be pissed. Glad to see I didn't!

PRINCE was outstanding!!!! WOW!!!
I am completely blown away!!!!!

Great working of SHOE, and the set was fun - I thought it was cheesy as fuck though!

I just got to watch it,and loved everything the suit,hair,make up,he did a beautiful job as always singing SHOE. I love that song. I also thought the note that he gave Jay afterwards was really sweet.

Was it really that great?

I disagree with most of you, it was okay.. but not my fave Prince song/ ballad,

I am not really feeling SHOE, jazzy stuff from prince is just not my cup of tea.


I liked the funky stuff more:

Ol Skool Company,
Dreamer,
Feel Better

but very cool to read you all liked SHOE that much

The song was pretty. I mean vocally he is ALWAYS there, perfection. I just thought he didnt have much feeling. It was, as ALWAYS, a beautiful performance, but it lacked something.

He looked exquisite, stunning, beautiful, gorgeous, and I never go on and on but his face is mesmerizing.

I doubt this will raise record sales, but he looked mighty fine and I am much obliged!

It just went off here. It really was THAT GOOD. *sigh*

Yeah I agree the set looked cheap and 80s. Like something you would see in an old Michael Douglas movie when he was young with that longish hair and his suit rolled up at the sleeves.

Enchanting. Vocals superb the interlude, soothing. Prince looked amazingly fine like a yummy, honey, bunny. I really liked the jazz club set, very cool.

Thanks Prince.

Oh, one more note: That was such a kind and genuine gesture to Jay Leno. How sweet.

BRIllANT! per4mance. Prince looked gr8. i THOUGHT IT WAS A PERFECT SONG TO SAY GOODBYE 2 jAY. Also 4 Prince 2 write that note was very special... I myself was proud of him very classy. Cool set up stage. Voice was on point. I give it a TEN...lol[i]

For me, this is the stand out track from P.E. - So, very happy to hear it again! At first I was like, "oh no; no trumpet"; but then I was like "oh yeah, love the flutes and the fagott/bassoon". Also loved the flavour Renato, Rhonda and John Blackwell added to it! Stunning performance imho!

Did he wear the same outfit at the Club Nokia Show???

Great song and one of my fav from Planet Earth. I would have prefered a new one but the performance and the whole set was great. I would guess that Jay chose this song!? Why? Because if Prince is still into his new stuff he has to be itching to present it.

since someone show me the video of tht last night as lm in the UK ....

WOW WOW..... what can l say and what a beautiful performance he did and it was one of my favs song from planet earth mmmmm...
loved the settings he did ... wow he looks so amazingly stunning his lips was so shinning wow....
well as lve always said before lm always very proud of him in what he do...he always brings out the best 4 everyone...

well all l can say is THANK YOU ...2 prince for singing tht song from the bottom of my heart....
THANK U for making it look really beautiful and u look real stunning last night!!!

lastly l will watch it tonite here in UK... SO l can watch it again...lol

Beautiful. Beautiful. Beautiful.

i thought it was an odd choice of song, but he looked great and his vocals were off the map.

it was also very nice to finally see bria make her live stage debut. she, um, sat on a barstool quite brilliantly.

very nice.

Vocals are extraordinary.

Band was great!

Hair too 90s again.

Clothes good.

Why does he look 19?
