Hey, it's a while ago but I have to know. I was at a couple of concerts at the 21 Nights in London and at a couple of aftershows at the IndigO2. At the 3th August Dr. John performed. Does anybody know if Prince was in the club? There was a guy that looked just like him and people noticed and walked up to him but me
Did he just looked like him or was it Prince himself? He was dressed in black.He just was there looking around and standing to the left of the club.Who was there on the 3th August when the Dr. John performance was? This was the aftershowparty a lot of people complained about also myself oops Would be nice if you can give me answers.Thx alot.

nobody?

Not me that's for sure. But dead silence from the org???
Now that's strange

If people actually walked up to the guy, guaranteed that it wasn't Prince.

i was there and prince was there as i could see him at the side of the stage. his guitar amp and pedals were setup at the start but removed part way through the gig. dr john played the show earlier in the evening and prince asked him to play the aftershow with the intention of joining in to jam if he felt the vibe. as he wasn't feeling it (mainly due to the audience moaning about dr john) he left and his guitar was removed

On the 14th he did play cuz we were hot !!!

Yes, not expected this silence! And it's sad that just a few can remember that day.I just heard a girl in the toilet:lol: say that he walked by.When I was back on the dancefloor again I danced to hard to recognize if he was there or not So you mean he wasn't at the club just on the stage behind the curtain?

here is the proof - have been in the audience that day and made this picture:



I think it was the same evening when our man just walked by outside the arena and we later talked to a guy who told us, that he had a small-talk with p asking him, whether he would play or not - he just said, that he must take care of his voice because of the concerts coming and could therefore not play an aftershow every evening.

i am right. prince wasn't on stage during dr johns performance, but he was onstage for about 5 minutes on 4th august show to play guitar on like a feather, the fourth track in the setlist, and left the stage

the bald guy on the left is indigo2 security (with his back to the camera), then that raul in the grey suit looking left. i am out of shot, but right in front of prince front row

push and pull was on the setlist but wasn't played (i have the actual setlist from the stage)

do you have any other photos from that night?

here are a few pictures from 3rd and 4th - (london sightseeings and concerts)

concert pictures are not to good - tried to avoid to be pushed out of the arena - what later become unf. true! the bald guy I can remember very good - he was the one, that pushed me out of the indigo because I was dump enough to smoke a cigarette on the toilet - shame on me

thanks for the pix, i'll check them out later. i can't spot anyone i recognise in them. i was always at the front line of the aftershow party every night, and front row where the guitar pedals where to the slight left of middle of stage

it looks like you had a good time in london according to the pix

there is a very strong no smoking policy in the uk, it's the law that you can't smoke in public places. venues can get in a lot of trouble if people smoke inside, they can be fined. the security, whilst they got a lot of flack, they were very good and usually gave people a second chance unless they did something very wrong. they were just following rules set by management and prince's people

He was side stage during Dr John set for about 5 minutes.
I remember people started chanting "We want Prince" while Dr John was performing and I thought it was quite rude...Dr John was great that night.

Uni I think that was the night the guitar tech gave us the pics so we wouldnt steal them lol and Coleen jumped up on the stage and peaked under the curtain to see if Prince was there or not

yeah, brian asked me to make sure no-one touched the guitar pedals and gave me a bunch of plectrums so no-one would nick em. i think that was the night that i took a video of the pedals from all around so we knew what he was using. i think i have a photo of me from the stage angle from that night

i remember coleen going behind the curtain and the wind from outside blowing. it's amazing how all the nights tend to blend into one. i remember toto smashing up a copy of PE and throwing it on stage. loads of people were really pissed off that prince didn't play and they were giving bad vibes to dr john, who i thought was pretty good considering the audience were against him. they didn't know he does that voodoo shit and probably cast a spell on them

Very nice

If P was chackin out Dr John, that's a good thing, that man NEEDS to get some Nyawlins in his music! Some fonk in his funk, sho nuff.

unique said:

yeah - we had a great weekend in london - we have been a group of about 10 people and had a lot of fun. if there wouldn't have been this little incident on the toilett - but the security was nice and polite. On the next evening I had to promise at the entrance, that I will not smoke on the toilett anymore and that I will behave myself
