well tht would be lovely if he would do it !!!! again... wink tht would be my biggest smiles amd dreams wink

but who knows ...not sure abt doing 50 it depends if he can do it or feel fit to do it unless he reduced the numbers...like maybe 20....
lm sure the king knows what he wants to do or what plans he have up his sleeves.
cool

if he does do 50 shows and break it then he will be the bigger king than all
he will be the first record breaking holder if he does that wink

he will be a bigger icon than michael jackson and l predicts tht... cool

and lm sure tht he can do it .. wink

Prince does NOT do things 4 records.....


Well he ought to be in the book of records for "girls crushes," on him. cool

While Ireland currebntly is viewed as bankrupt I would not think P considering it as a profitable location.
Germany has a slightly better positioning.

That would be great, but the german fanbase is not as big as in other european countries. I remember that the ONA concert in Frankfurt was far from being sold out. There was LOTS of space at the Festhalle. Don't mention Oberhausen as a counterargument, that town is very close to holland and belgium.

But yes, berlin would be great for a run of shows at the O2.

I dont think hell ever do the o2 again, maybe the Indigo2 or some other smaller London venue. I actually think his aftershows are so much better than his concerts. I think we will see him play more festival gigs like Coachella or Montreux, the kind of smaller venue with hardcore fans who like his jamming and dont just crave the purple rain era.

prince knows london loves him he got that reaction to the shows i went 2.
the aftershows were the killer ones because u see the man so close up.
he funked up the shows.
he must have been 47 years old and he had the energy of youth.
50 nights in 3 months prince could do that.
if he can do a show and then aftershows in a month
u reckon he can't do 50 in 3 months.

didn't he say in interview that he couldn't see anyone beating his record of 21 nights at the O2 anytime soon, unless he did it himself ? which i guess u could take any number of ways...
my prediction is that he will play Glastonbury next year in the uk. they have openly admitted that they have tried, and come close to getting him a few times. They had jay z last year,springseen this year. The exposure from the festival would be huge, and the ideal event 4 some guitar histrionics !!

Took the words outa my mouth.


Yes, he does. He specifically wanted to break the record for arena dates in London in the summer of 2007. And he wanted it in a multiple of 7, which was why 21 were booked. (I think the previous record may have been 14 or 15?)

Why London again?

We - the citizens of LightTown - we agreed with him back in 2002 that he will play eventually in the local Frits Philips Music Centre with an aftershow at the Effenaar. But we forgot to pick a date in our agendas...

But still most welcome!

Yes, and he should hire the same doctor as MJ, die, and then finally that big old vault will open.

what's in the vault- i believe most things have been released and it's circulating out there.

Have you been to the new or the, say Old Effenaar?
Now, since a couple of years, there's a big and a small room.

Any aftershow in any club in Holland would be fine LOL

To do 4 shows a week for the next 3 months?? NO. thats too much pressure and tiresome for any person and just so unrealistic. Look what happened to MJ, marjority of people knew he was never gonna complete the 50 dates so even worse it end up killing him.

Prince did 21 main shows then scheduled to do 21 aftershows...now even he didnt make every aftershow, he only peformed for about half of them roughly and even when he did turn up there was a couple of times he didnt sing just strummed his guitar or was walking around the back of the stage. he's resting his voice etc.

I would rather have him do fewer intimate shows around the world with him in good health and alive and kicking thanks.

I don't think he was signed up or scheduled to do 21 after shows. I think there were 21 after show parties scheduled. I don't think Prince promised he'd be there performing at them all, or even any of them! However, as time went on and he realised how important they were to his fans, and began to really enjoy them he did more and more. But I don't think it was anything to do with him not fulfilling or not being able to fulfill any obligations.

Only if he wants to be viewed as pissing on MJ's grave. So, probably not.

Exactly. That's bad press waiting to happen. Besides, he needs to be over here in the States performing that type of show. Preferably, NYC, can you say MSG or Radio City Music Hall. Hell, even Carnegie Hall. That's where Prince needs to be for a residency. biggrin

I do think that Prince, with the recent dollar index decline, would not want to earn dollars so much as other currency.

Give him 4 months then. It'll give fans more time 2 go 2 more shows.
even performing half of the aftershows as a musician or singer still counts.
someday he may just wanna do the computer blue trax without vocals and that's worth the enterance fee alone.

Even better idea. Stretch the shows out all summer in Mpls. If he did 2 to 4 shows a week in Mpls - at the Orpheum or an outdoor venue, and then played there all summer long. The hardcore fans could pay a lower fee thru the website, camp out, get a summer dorm room or one of those hotels where you pay a weekly "rent"(there are two of them here now)...and enjoy the Land of 10,000 Lakes all summer- or just come for a couple shows if that's all you want.
The whole two months, he could open an NPG store and sell live cd's, dvd's, have related artist events, posters, etc.
It would be a total blast..."the Summer of Prince"!!

Alright, I'm almost done...he has more than 2 bands now, so why not perform with them all? He could go back and forth from style to style every night. The last night (at the new Target Field being built right now)...get them all together for a final blowout concert with George Clinton/PFunk, The Time, Sheila E, Larry, Rosie, Lenny, TTD. Now that would be a concert of a lifetime.
