I watched him on BBC live just a few weeks ago, sorry but hard work does not mean quality ...Bruce can't do what Prince does on stage - it's not an age or sweat thing...it's the quality of the work..

Bruce's voice was all over the place, he does not dance, he moves, not the same thing sorry!

Start it in Vegas!!!!!

But Prince doesn't dance either anymore. And frankly, if you can't appreciate the brilliance of what Bruce does, that's your problem. Broaden your horizons!

"Anybody who doesn't want to pay $77 for a concert ticket can't afford Prince."

Seriously? Who the hell are you supposed to be? That IS a lot of money for a concert ticket. Not everybody has an extra $200 just laying around waiting for Prince to MAYBE SOMEDAY play a show somewhere in the REGION. You seem to me like one of those people who somehow feel that since they (apparently) have more money than others, that make them better than the ones with less. I guess I should move to L.A. with all the phonies and live the rest of my life with my head stuffed firmly up my ass. Yeah, I said phonies. Now that I look at it, it seems a bit juvenile but I love that book.

Besides, I saw him in '88 and I seriously doubt he's gonna top that one.

But, yeah, ranting about the price of concert tickets is one of my specialties. The music USED TO BE for the people. Only in the last 100 years or so has musical performance been put on this pedestal where "common" people are merely spectators, and "could never do something like that". In earlier times, people got together and made their own entertainment, there was no concern about being good enough, and that made a lot of difference in freeing people up to BECOME good at an instrument (or many) without feeling as if this was just something for SPECIAL people to do. Don't get me wrong, Prince is BADASS, but $77 is a lot for maybe 2 hours of performance for just one person.

I saw him in 88' too and I didnt pay that much less than $77, saw him in 2000 and paid 85.00. I dont think the prices are steep, most other major artists cost the same or more. And I aint in Cali, nor am I rich.
But shit, for some P live funkin in yo face, it is worth the admission.

George Clinton turns 68 next week and is still playing round about 100 shows every year. Ain't got anything to do with age, man, look at him (Prince that is)..
LOL

What Prince needs to do is release more dvds of his shows.

I totally agree with this! The DVD that I have was done in Los Vegas and is clearly 7 years old. It would give many of us the Prince fix we need. I just don't forsee him coming to New England any time soon which means in order to see him in the USA I'd need to get a round trip ticket and stay at a hotel and that's only if I was lucky enough to purchase tickets before they sold out!!

More paying customers than do Prince. Not me, just sayin'.

I'd like a tour of his World

Actually my mum is 81 and she still takes the train by herself to go to Brussels from our hometown in Belgium to see and party with her friends.
So don't give me that crap about 81!

He was dancing at the o2, yes he does not do the splits but his moves are slick....

"The brilliance of what Bruce does"? are you kidding?????

the rolling stones still tour but they have a combined age of 2000 yrs

What is clear it's that nobody has a real theory on the fact that he's not doing a true "World Tour" any more !

Prince has recently approached AEG about doing a tour and they weren't interested after all the **&! he has pulled. He needs someone to back him and no one will right now. He owes lots of money to people - believe it or not.

I just talked with my Abuela who is 82, in PERFECT HEALTH! NO MEDS nothing, still buses around town and is always thanking GOD for her health, never did rugs, smoked, drank she is my beloved inspiration to be as well as she is, now if only I could immerse myself in Spanish culture to better communication, the legacy could continue

saafiir said:

And, what shit has he pulled that AEG doesn't wanna work with him anymore? Sounds like another assumption....

Another poster talking out his arse.

I should have put my response down here so it didn't look like Farfunknugin was saying all that...

Sheesh the excuses people make up.

Prince doesn't do world tours anymore but he still plays for millionaires.

Better yet, he used to do world tours and never shows for millionaires paying 1 million dollar a night.

These days it is reversed.

LondonStyle said:

I would say it is all about the hard work. It's your opinion that that doesn't pay off for Bruce, but that is besides the point. Point is: if Bruce can work hard on stage/tour, why can't Prince?

Dayclear said:

No I most certainly am not. Have you seen him live?

how about he does a "world tour" at paisley park?
