The important thing is, you had a fantastic time.

I tried to do a review, not only from the concert but from our whole trip. Stille more to come, but there you have it.

Sorry but it's in Dutch, my native language, and the language of most visiters of my site. Still there are way's to get an translation to English.

I did steel some pic's form here (without hotlinking), and without the setlist pointed out here I couldn't have done it so accurately.Thanks to all involved!

Ok, so I saw both shows, just few feet from stage, fantastic songs & his voice was truly faultless..i’m telling u guys he looked SO happy & healthy, & OMG really sexy..
very light makeup apart from lashings of lip gloss, cheeky dimple & beautiful engorged neck veins..i just love that
the atmostphere was crazy amazing, hope a dvd will be released, such breathtaking stuff

so anyway, a few bits I notice people haven’t mentioned yet,
but first & 4most,

EDITED ( wrong info edit, so sorry guys, i'm mortified! i thought he made a reference 2 michael jackson but there wasn't..please see post #228
i shall add that it doesn't make the slightest difference 2 the performance it was literally dazzling 4 me at least..)

he did a really funky combination of ‘all the critics love u in montreux/housequake/sexuality'..yes!.. s.e.x.u.a.l.i.t.y ..unless I was dreaming it. the crowd went mental!


his suit was lined in yellow with black polka dot, up his sleeves at least

He had us singing along to little red corvette, u gotta slow down ‘slow down’.. trust me, he is showing absolutely NO signs of slowing down! he was dancing, & jumping about in his cute wedge shoes. no limping action, i was making careful observations

at one point, sorry I can’t remember the song, he invited us to join him in ‘a palace looking over a beautiful lake’. Of course he was staying at the palace hotel just a few metres across the road from the venue.
Incidently montreux is a peculiar little place. Not so much a town but like a twee village on the edge of a lake..not very rock & roll!

there were a couple of hand-licking episodes during 'empty room'..slow & deliberate licks across the back of his hand..full tongue! OMG! this was a loin stirring moment 4 me at least! Other women in the audience would have been moved by this also..

during scandalous he sang ‘dirty little cage’ in the perviest way I couldn’t imagine in my wildest dreams

he sang bria’s songs better than her but no big surprise there, but he didn’t look in the least bit guilty that he wasn’t giving her any credit

morris hayes was looking cool & totally pimped out in a white suit complete with giant hat, he looked magnificent

John blackwell’s solos were jaw dropping., wow, he was like disneys firework grand finale but million times more impressive, Rhonda was as funky as hell & renato guy had short bursts of jazzy tinkling

prince changed his clothes 2wards the end in2 a turtleneck number..same as he’s worn recently but with a different design.
By this time my contact lenses were playing havoc..they had worked so hard & were giving up on me
I couldn’t see the design, but all I could make out was what looked like a giant afro...i actually thought it was MJ, my husband thought it was MJ as child performer, but then it looked like it could have been prince from purple rain movie, in the final shot where he looks over his shoulder..i guess this make more sense, a celebration of 25yrs since purple rain. I’d love to know what it was, i’m hoping there’s some decent pics

Finally, after the show people were waiting 4 him to come outside, there was a posh maybach waiting but after about 15mins I decided my feet could take no more even 4 prince. I’d endured 12hrs in huge heels & enough was enough.
I walked back 2 my car high on happiness but in agony & hit the road at nearly 03.00hrs.
The lake edge road was eerily quiet..all but for a police escort heading my way, & then I saw the maybach, & without any decorum flashed it several times while blowing kisses out the window. WTF! It was strangely exciting in such a romantic place!
Dunno where he was heading but he’d gone past the hotel...

Yes there were Belgian and Dutch people in Montreux.

Sure there were; it's just,I went by myself,didn't know anybody who was going, by coincidence didn't hear anyone speaking Dutch ... it just seemed as if there weren't any

Hehe, I found your post...! Great review!
Lottie, you naughty girl, getting warm in the loins I hope I can catch a vid of this licking motion.....and love the blowing kisses and flashing lights part.
Did you see the Montreux vid on my wall yesterday? Good quality.

And who cares about the MJ thing, I envy you for having been there but on the other hand I'm happy that you're getting the chance to see him live a few times (O2 incl.), be it a little late but nevertheless still on time! He is still great live

Somebody get the license plate number!...let's track this shit DOWN!

....WELL thanks 4 SHARING and CARING!!!...but looking at this pic..i can't breathe!!!....wow!!!..LOOK AT ALL those people...i CAN'T breathe!!!

...mzsexybaby'THE ENRGY IN THE ROOM..HAS BEEN KNOW 2 FLICK ON/OFF LIGHTS'

It was this expensive brand. Chose not to remember which one.
Probably rented anyways.
Bunches of people were waiting near the car, hoping to see a glimpse of the rock icon, yet his image was guarded like he would get the plague from the camera flashes, with umbrella's and whatnot.
How stupid were those people.
How stupid was P?

It was a maybach, one of the ugliest cars there are,
but then again, most expensive cars are ugly.

Is it my imagination or was Prince really limping (and looking like he was pain) during this set?
