of course.

He was holding up a line back in 07 at a Super Walmart near my house. He was heckling the cashier about the price of Hamburger Helper and ground beef. (Apparently it's much cheaper up north )

Do Tell What was he wearing? Were you all excited?
or is that fammy

nursev said:

He was wearing the same thing he had on at the show? I was not that excited, I had spent about 4 of the last 8 hours less than 10 feet from him (show and after show) so I was surprised but not excited.

Keeping it cool I like that

nursev said:

it was 3:30 something in the morning! the show the after show all front row. I did talk to the band some.

But there is something cool about being very close to the stage, Prince makes a lot of eye contact and if he will give little nods and looks from time to time.

I saw Prince in Atlanta in August 1991 at a club that former NBA star Dominique Wilkens had on Peach Tree street called Dominiques. He had performed earlier that evening for some record executives and industry peers at the Jack The Rapper family reunion's annual music convention. He walks into the club about 2:30 am. in a powder blue suit, complete with matching heels and a cane, along with two females 4 security guards, and 2 of Atlanta's finest. He walked right past me. Needless to say, I was in awe. He walked across the dance floor and sat with his two ladies and starred at everyone. Dominique and his wife came over and greeted him, but no one else was allowed anywhere near him. Then the stupid DJ starts playing nothing but Prince music. I thought to myself, WTH would Prince come to a club to hear his own music? An experience I will never forget.

OMG!! You got to see Prince and Dominique in the same night Some are so lucky So he had two females and his pimp cane I like this sighting alot Dumb ass DJ

I went to see a Lovesexy show in Chicago. A couple friends and I were hanging out in the parking lot before the show around 3:00pm and all of the sudden all of these limos started pulling into the venue's parking lot. There was a ramp that went down underneath the venue. We had gotten out of our vehicle and stood at the edge of the ramp watching the limos take the ramp into the venue. The last limo stopped at the bottom of the ramp and came all the way back up in reverse and stopped. A bodyguard (who I would later realize was Gilbert Davison) got out of the front and came around to the back and opened the door and Prince got out and said hello and shook our hands. I managed to get 1 photo before Gilbert asked me not to take anymore. Prince got back in and they went into the venue and we were all speechless!

Prince loves his own music. I used to go to Glam Slam in Minnepolis and to private parties at Paisley Park and he was ALWAYS giving the DJ cds of his own music to play.

I think it was Spring 2006. He was in NYC for the GMA show (during the 3121 era) and was doing a show later that night at this restaurant called Butter. As we were waiting in line I spotted him leaving the place and jumping into his limo. He had on a purple suit with an orange shirt (with the matching purple heels). I actually was able to grab a shot with my digital cam. Unfortunately I lost the memory card with the pics from that night before I was able to transfer them to my computer, but it was a great night. I met Jay-Z at that show along with ?uestlove.

Oh no! That is the saddest thing I've read in a while!

Poiple said:

I know! I should have kept both performances on the same card, but I removed the one with the 1st performance so I could take a lot for the 2nd performance. Here's a link to some of the pictures I got from the first performance:

I saw Prince in 1986 backstage during the parade tour in Rotterdam. His backvocal "Greg something" invited me te see the show backstage. He invited me and my friend to go back to the hotel afterwards. But I was only 15 and I told him that I had to go to school the next day .....LOL.... In 1988 I met prince in a nightclub in Dortmund after the television show in september. He was just dancing around and looking at everybody. My father talked to him for a little bit.....I was to nervous and to shy. But I will never forget that night. I'm going to see Prince in Arras France. Last concert was 10 years ago..... That's just to long...

I saw him on the roof of a church with a baseball bat trying to knock the cross off of it. He was screaming at the crowd below that it's supposed to be a stauros.

NurseV,

I saw PRINCE in the back of GLAM SLAM club Miami back in '95 when I attended the Birthday show at Glam Slam. It was great! I took a fantastic photo of him walking out to his car along with Tommy B and Michael B and Sonny T. I was also able to get my photo taken with Eric Leeds too.

I need to scan the photo and post it. He was wearing a green outfit with hat.

I also saw PRINCE in May of 2001 in LA at his concert. My daughter was just born 2 days before (she came a week early) and I had tickets to the show but could not attend. I was able to get out of the hospital for an errand and run down the Sunset Ave to the venue. I stopped by to at least buy some concert souvenirs. I spoke to a guard and explained my situation. He was super cool, understood and let me in for a few minutes while people were out waiting in line to get in for the show. He escorted me in to buy my stuff. I heard a guitar playing and some drums and realized there was a rehearsal session going on. I asked the guard if that was Prince playing and he said probably…with a wink. I built up the courage and asked if I could peek through the doors that lead to the staging area and he said yes! YES!!! So he escorted me to the next door, opened it up and there was PRINCE on guitar at the mic. There were a few techs and someone I did not recognize on drums but I am sure he was a tech. I was able to take a minutes worth of observation as my heart was racing! Prince looked up at us at one point and said “Hi” in his deep voice and HE SMILED! So my daughter was born and I got to see PRINCE that same week. I missed the concert and the Jay Leno appearances which I had tickets for. I held my baby in my arms as she slept and watched PRINCE on Leno in the hospital.

GOOD and CHERRISHED memories.

He was seen later that day at sonics front walmart sipping lemon crush.

TheVoid said:

Did that actually happen?!

i saw him too

i'll tell the story when i come back.

don't worry.i will.

A few times. In San Francisco, San Jose, Reno and Las Vegas.

My boyfriend saw Prince a few years ago walking around the front of Paisley Park when he was in Minnesota on vacation.

Can you beleive the fool fainted?

guarinigirl2000 said:

ugh i have lived in mn my whole life and have never seen this. i wish! who fainted? prince or your boyfriend?

ok..i'm back.

here's the story:

went to my 1st prince concert in 1996 around the emancipation era("Jam of the year") in chicago. this was the show in which the bulls won 6 championships. ("We Gets Up") so, as i was standing in line, i see 2 big bodygaurds walking by me...nothing unusual there as there were a few bulls players at that show too....and then...i heard him..for some reason that night i couldn't turn my head to look directly at prince so i just looked out the corner of my eye...he's like a walking metronome(just think of the song "shy" and you'll know the pace in which he walked past me) so yes "It's about that walk"..as in keeping time with an internal beat..and i heard it.

this is what he was wearing:

ankle boots-mid stacked heels
a blue-purple lace body suit(his build is wiry,slightly bowlegged, not skinny)
the black cropped jacket that he wore at the first avenue rehersals for S.O.T.T.
(unless it's a different one, the movie one is rutched in the back when he sings "forever in my life"

his hair was slightly tussled in the "New Power Soul" style,dark sunglasses.

he put his finger up to his mouth as if to say" "shhh". he was late for the soundcheck as a few people already saw him going into the united center.

so.there ya go. i tried to make it as descriptive as possible given that some here have never seen prince in concert.

Bars. Yes. If you live in Minneapolis it's not that rare.
