Click on "la suite 2" on the far right (and read until the end, even after the final commercials to get 1999 and controversy)

Sometimes I am really depressed by Prince's output of the past 15 years, and even the concert at grand Palais which I attended left me with very mixed feelings (he was on "Elvis Vegas mode" as I noted in an earlier post)

But now that sort of performance reminds me why I love this guy so much and lose so much time on him!

His performance on rythmic guitar is one of the best ever (listen to what he does on 1999, and believe me I have heard hundreds of different versions)

Special message to BVH who labelled this as "crap": either you do not have ears or you have a personal problem. I already knew the latter was true, but I am now wondering about the former....(this from a fan like myself who if anything would also fall in the camp of the "haters")

those links aren't working for me

when Prince said 'i c u b' (haha that looks funny spelled out in princephonics...anyways) and the camera takes a close up of bria and she tilts her head to the side does she say hi after she does that??

Oh the joys of torrents. Thanks to whoever out there upped it so quick

I hope he would go on and get the surgery while he's in France. Maybe that's what he was really saying...he will recover there because maybe the French are not as intrusive as Americans are what with Insider and TMZ.

did he scream LAS VEGAS!!! right before he said thank you paris?

For the 1000th time. When he screams Las Vegas, it's a musical cue to the band!!!

Ok, this is just sad. All of ya'll are now ordered to go watch 10 straight hours of Prince live in concert from various years. "Las Vegas!" is something every orger should be familiar with. Seriously..

That kicked ass.

He gives Dance 4 Me a chiller, sexier grove live.
No More Candy sounded great too.

This band is pretty tight, but Ive always liked Cora. And the more I hear Josh the more I realize that he's pretty talented in his own right (although not as talented as his woman).

Liv looked a little better this time. Last time I saw her on TV she looked kinda scary. The camera guy liked Elisa.

And the one chick in back of Prince with the long straight brown hair and cut up pants was hot. I wonder if P & Bria took them all back to their hotel with them?

Wow, a real lot of positive remarks here. I'll have to be the one to bring the other side of the coin.

This was really hard on the eyes. Seeing him on that stool, subdued funky, indeed. This to me is a real bad sign, his music rocks and all, but Prince is about the complete image. I'll always back him, but it's a painful thought seeing Prince in a few years sitting in a big chair on stage like BBking. Okay for an acoustic set or some ballads, but not your dance tunes. Damn, made me real sad.

Also, his 'oeh oeh wee' was breaking up and he noticed it as well. Damn near broke my heart.

Some people say he was smiling, I noticed him being real shy: when the host entered the stage, looking down and not feeling comfortable at all.

Not a nice viewing...
