Prince Shows Up At Village Underground For Unannounced Time Gala Aftershow Prince played the Time 100 event last night in New York and then headed over to the Villiage Underground to do an impromptu 45 minute set. Prince was rehearsing at the Villiage Underground earlier in the day we are being told and Prince most likely played their tonight to thank them for letting them rehearse there. The ENTIRE after show was streamed online at Thevillageunderground.com and Prince must have had some idea he was being filmed by them and with all the camera phones in the audience as he played a majority of the show with his back to the crowd. Prince is rocking a shorter ‘do nowadays and ran thru a set that we heard consisted of “I Feel 4 U” and “Controversy” along with a few songs by his 8 piece band. This was totally unannounced and no extra money was made by Villiage Underground even though the baddest man on the planet was rocking their stage. The Time gala event earlier in the night featured a short set by Prince and the band with Shelby J. singing “Angel” a cover tune by Sarah McLachlan. We will keep you updated if we hear and see more.-Dr.FB [Edited 5/5/10 0:05am] ahh I love it when you call my name!  "not a fan"  yeah...ok | |

[Edited 5/5/10 13:19pm] yeah...I've always loved it too, her voice is beautiful. I've actually never heard Prince (or shelby) sing it...but I sure would love to.  "not a fan" yeah...ok | |

WetDream said: Right. and you know what, he STILL don't look his age. He looks way below it and still healthy and upbeat....something people at a similar age around here can't handle. If I didn't know how old he was and I saw these pictures.... I wouldn't say he was a day over 40 years old. ...and I just got a hold of the boot of this show. I'll listen to it later.

Will you give us your review of what you have when you get the chance? Also is the boot of the actual Time Gala or the aftershow? Thank you! | |

I, for one, like to see Prince is able to look as a normal near-52 man instead of a famished manga cartoon as in the Montreux poster.
That said, the 'aftershow' was really terrible. | |

That said, the 'aftershow' was really terrible. So others have said vitriol. At the risk of being laughed at, or worse, ignored; I'm gonna ask anyway. What is a 'manga' cartoon?  | |

Manga is Japanese cartoon style Elle
I believe the boot I have is for the aftershow. But as I said I'll give it a listen later. |

rwn said: thedance said: Sorry for spoiling the positivity here:
but I'm shocked - after my listening to "I Feel 4 U"/ "Controversy" I can assure everyone here that this is Prince's worst aftershow, ever.. - it's just shockingly bad. Shelby J. - PLEASE..... go away.  You should have kept your word and stayed away  Don't worry rwn.... I will be gone again. Lame, lame, lame show, the truth needs to be told: after "Purple & Gold" and "Cause & Effect", this is a huge disappointment yet again... I am still shocked how terrible this aftershow is with Shelby J / the female voices on all vocals.
This is not the way for Prince to win fans back. This aftershow is shockingly bad. Of course I only speak my opinion, and now I'm gone again, I will enjoy my memories of the old Prince, because the new Prince sucks.  Prince 4Ever.  | |

Seriously, I have been a Prince fan since I was 9 and I am almost 40 now and it still amazes me how some of his fans can be so touchy and mean. Prince is a human being and yes he can look tired and yes he does get sick! I know some refuse to believe he is just a man  Some Prince fans really scare me [/quote]
Exactly! Sorry to burst anyone's bubble, but Prince is a human being just like any other, and like it or not, age will begin to take it's toll, no matter who you are! The man will be 52 in June for pete's sake! I'm 49 and like it not, I no longer look like I did when I was in my 20's, and neither does Prince! I'm one of his many fans from way back, and YES, the man is aging, and starting to look older. He does also look tired.....he's human! So to all the fans who get their panties in a bunch because some say that Prince is starting to look older, CHILL OUT.....it happens to everyone soon or later!! | |

p4life said: 2elijah said: That's the truth...hugs to "p4life". I was just browsing the site to see if there was any info on the performance, and found some pics on wireimage and posted them. Then saw p4life's post, and it was on from there. Maybe Drfunkenberry will have some highlights of the Time 100 performance on his site tomorrow We will see. u guys are welcome i was just randomly searching for more info on the event and thought it wld be cool to share with all of u No problem. I appreciate that you alerted those of us online at the time, that Prince would be sitting in with the house band for a few, and we'd be able to see it live online, at the actual time it aired. Good looking out and thanks for sharing. | |

Liar liar pants on fire Very funny that u think this is some great big disappointment. All I can say is that it was exciting as hell to be awake & go online from my home & watch Prince perform in a small club LIVE! | |

Take your pick. If you were truly gone none of this would have even been on your radar.  When go 2 a Prince concert or related event it's all up in the house but when log onto this site and the miasma of bitchiness is completely overwhelming! | |

Your review was wack & very negative....U could have kept that to yourself[/b] Sorry that i forgot everyone here drinks the purple kool-aid. When prince is wack, he is wack and should be called out for it. I have seen him 60+ times live from 1993 on, some amazing shows late night at paisley park, some great arena/aftershows, and sad to say some wack shows.. This i wouldnt even say it was a prince show, as he sat in the crowd with his posse and played 2 songs.. But it simply WAS NOT VERY GOOD.. You people have to realize that can happen.. for a number of reasons, bad equipment, not happy with the stage, an average house band, bad lights, etc... When prince is good, i commend him for being good, but sorry last night was not it, and I don't drink the kool-aid and won't hold my tongue or thoughts cause people only want to hear "Positivity".. if that is the case just listen to Lovesexy in a loop!! Fair point. [/quote]
----- Bullshit. This was P jumping on the stage for a few minutes. I don't even see it as an aftershow. This person blew this way out of proportion and it has nothing to do with any Purple Koolaid. | |

So far, all I've been able to find on the Time party is that Andy Samberg sat between Taylor Swift and Prince.
Has anyone found anything on what was played at the party? | |

I didn't see this as an aftershow as well or I'm sure there would have been requests early on, for no cell phone cameras/regular cameras to be used while he was on stage, and he would have done a longer and actual set, more than likely using his own band members. Like you stated, it was basically Prince just jamming with the house band for a few, as well as his singers doing the same. | |

It wasn't even Prince own instruments used & he wasn't even on stage but a few minutes. So it wasn't really an aftershow, Just a last minute jump on stage thing. But as usual people here criticizing his performance and the way he looks as usual.... will ALWAYS think of like a "ACT OF GOD"! N another realm. mean of all people who might of been aliens or angels.if found out that wasn't of this earth, would not have been that surprised. R.I.P. |

Has anyone found anything on what was played at the party? Not really, just light mention that Prince performed at the gala in most of the articles like these below. http://www.freerepublic.c...7610/posts The TIME 100 Gala was headlined by guest speaker former President Bill Clinton with a musical performance by Prince. Also in attendance were honorees and celebrities including Sarah Palin, Sir Richard Branson, Sir Elton John, Taylor Swift, Katherine Bigelow, Oliver Stone, Neil Patrick Harris and Betty White. http://www.nypost.com/p/n...t2E2XA7VQM Elton, on the list as one of the world's top artists, was to introduce another honoree, Prince, who was closing out the night with a performance. Prince was seated at Table 5 with Larry Hackett, top editor at People and new head of the American Society of Magazine Editors. | |

woww
props to P for ditching the eye liner! i wonder why he decided to do soo... i guess any 50 year old male would feel funny putting it on & man what a guitar! took me some minutes to fully digest it. glad he's finding love for his old tunes, I feel for you is timeless "Not to sound cosmic, but I've made plans for the next 3,000 years," he says. "Before, it was only three days at a time." | |
