Because it was free I decided to go to another gig on that tour, so I was at Maine Road stadium in Machester on the Friday, then Parkhead on the Sunday. The support at Maine Road was The Pasadenas, a sort of 60s soul revival type group. They had a surprising amount of popularity in the UK at the time. Couldn't understand it myself. The less said the better. I was at the 2 SECC gigs in Glasgow...the first night Mayte was supposed to pull her top off over her head and reveal a bikini...she accidentally whipped the bikini off with it and ran off stage! My girlfriend at the time was a bit shocked to read the review the next day in the Daily record which explained how Prince's dancer Mayte, did a seductive strip tease, peeling her bikini top off. It was no Janet at the Superbowl, as soon as it happened, she sprinted off the stage. There was no repeat the next night  I went to The Garage aftershow too...and it was packed to the rafters. I knew one of the barmen and he said they had all been searched going in and security were coming round regularly checking for recording devices. It was the busiest night he had ever seen.You could hardly breathe. The other thing I remember is the main gig finishing around 10:30-11:00pm and the aftershow being anounced onstage...so people went straight to the garage...no more than 10 minutes away. Althought it was March, it was snowing and it was freezing. We all had to stand queued outside from 11 until 1am in the snow, and most of the outfits people were wearing certainly weren't designed for that weather! Fantastic gig...I wish I had a bootleg of that one, I have all the other Scottish gigs but not that. I don't remember any of the songs too distinctly, but I just remember the bass and the energy thuumping throught he crowd. It was magic. I went to a couple of O2 aftershows and whilst they were great, you couldn't beat the atmosphere in a nightclub about a quarter the size of IndigO2 on a cold Scottish night LOL i totally forgot about Maytes itty bitties that was funny. There is a Garage boot in circulation but I dont have it.....seriously. Fuck the funk - it's time to ditch the worn-out Vegas horns fills, pick up the geee-tar and finally ROCK THE MUTHA-FUCKER!! He hinted at this on Chaos, now it's time to step up and fully DELIVER!!

I think the answer is rather simple.
Grunge was very big at that time. And although he didnt make that kind of music around that time, he probably thought it would help him reach the grunge-public by wearing such a shirt (how naive, of course). Just as Tony M. was his bid out to the hip-hop lovers... lol | |

What's all this about tartan...? Hmmm...?!!
Actually I don't think it's 'tartan' exactly, I'm not quite sure what it is, but I don't like it on Prince, it doesn't suit him, it's not sexy, or cool or ANYTHING... No, no, no...!! [Edited 8/4/09 10:12am] | |

but yes, the grunge look not appealing when comes to prince. if the image was 'scratch & sniff' i imagine a noseful of stale beer & fags & brut aftershave [Edited 8/5/09 19:52pm] | |

[Edited 8/5/09 19:42pm] Flannalette pyjamas anyone....? Only Bruce Springsteen can get away with this look..! But of course I'm allowed to wear tartan, I'm Scots lass, but I don't very often, only when it's a 'Scottish' themed bbq, and then I wear as little as possible - see pic!! 
Oh, I mean, as little tartan as possible... haha... oops! [Edited 8/6/09 5:43am] | |
