All this whinging, I would give my left arm to go to a Prince concert, you all complain about the same old songs, and lame new ones, at least you see him in North America and Europe, he dosen't give a flying fuck about the rest of the world. He hasn't been to Australia since the early 90s and never been to New Zealand. If Prince came here (Auckland) and played a concert consisting of Purple Rain and songs from The Rainbow Children, along with some preaching, I would be forever grateful for that small miracle. The mans 52, hes given his whole life to the stage, let him just have fun on the stage.

Prince has played Australia since the early '90's.

He played 5 shows in Australia in 2003.

2 visits in a 30+ year career is a pretty poor record.

Compared to Europe and Nth Americam, the basic thrust of the complaint is completely valid.

YOU.HAVE.NOT.ATTENDED.A.SINGLE.FUCKING.DATE.ON.THIS.TOUR.

Is that clear enough for you?

So whether this is Prince's most 'disatrous'(sic) tour 'evah'(sic) is not for you to even conjecture.

Are you writing from some kind of institution or something? Is this therapy for you?

Hello

I thought you got banned for anti semitism?

I think you need to relax and just answer the question.

No, I didn't get 'banned' for anti-semitism. The comment on another thread (which does not even relate to this thread and illustrates your desperation) did not involve any slurs toward Jewish people. The post regarded people wanting to 'delete' Larry Graham. Unless all the posters were Jewish my joke (tasteless, I admit) is and was not anti-semetic.

You do understand that Jewish people were not the only victims? That there were people of other races, religions etc, also exterminated?

Yes, the Jewish population did comprise the most in number, but a reference to concentration camps is by no means an attack on Jewish people.

Historically, there have been other genocides carried out on other races and peoples; was my comment prejudiced towards those also?

That Jewish people were not the subject is blatantly clear from my post, which again, has nothing to do with your thread here.

I cannot answer your opinions of Prince's tour because you have not attended a single show. Answer my question; how can you conceivably review a show without having been there? Would you review and album without listening to it? Perhaps you would.

My point is that you have no basis for your argument here. Despite the title you are not really asking an honest question. You are making statements about something you have no experience with. All your posts lack any and all credibility.

Those are my final thoughts. It is not worth my while to reply any longer, and frankly, observing your intelligence level, I'm ashamed I commented here at all.

Do you have an opinion on the question.

I must admit I'm taken aback by the hysteria on some of these replys.

OMG! you're still on this? you're making it your lifetime project to convince the whole world of your ideas and at the same time codemning anyone who has a different opinion? now, who's the hysteric here? (for once though you do have a point, that remark was blatently homophobic...)

Ok, I have to admit I'm actually having fun reading this, such stubborn pitifull behaviour

MORE, please, MORE!

which was the worst ?

well-i've seen every tour except musicology since 1988 thats come to the UK

AND SORRY BUT-IVE ENJOYED EVERY SINGLE SHOW

even ALL the nude shows (about a million

not the worst-but after thye near 3 hour ONA shows-i was kinda gutted at the 90 minute o2 shows which would be my only criticism

luckily-i had decent seats-and indigo tix to make up 4 that

but the current tour looks and sounds fun-fresh and-he seems to be dancing alot more which has to be great

whats not to love about te curerent set up

Disaster? Lovesexy in the U.S. was disastrous for sales; in the Twin Cities the 2nd show didn't even come close to selling out and they literally couldn't give away enough seats to fill the show.

HOWEVER, it was a GREAT AWESOME HISTORIC show.

So who's to say what a disaster is when you're dealing with art.

Also consider that was only 4 years after Purple Rain. Crazy.

For the last two posts..interesting.

Yes! What is a "disaster"!

You're right, Lovesexy was a flop in the States...but who here would call this show a diaster?

Nude? I enjoyed the shows too...and Prince was still on a semi-creative high ( D and P to come plus the Symbol album)...plus Batman had been a relative commercial success.

Can we say all that about 20ten????

"Hysteria" is my favourite Def Leppard album.

Thanks to all the hysterical fams ( homophobic and anti-semitic...the JWs are always out in force when you dare to criticise P) for answering this thread.

Christ, y'all need to get a life or least a sense of humour.....or at least some grasp of the English Language.

To the intelligent folks who offered argeuments for Nude/ TGE/Etc for being P's worst tour...thanks and RESPECT!!!!!

But we all know that the 20ten has been a new low in P's career and that the only way is up.

Judgement for eireboy.

Can you fucking read??? You have decided you do not like this music, band or Cd and therefore to you it is the worst tour. Not to the dozens of people who actually went to these shows or the media.

In addition, if any of the remaining shows are cancelled it might have a little something to do with the economy. If you can pull yourself away from your post and try reading other forums a few articles have been posted about dismal ticket sells and cancelations for lots of artist.

Considering P's age and lack of major record company promotion he appears to be doing good for himself and at the end of the day the important thing is to put on the best show you can which he appears to be doing. I saw him rock the Capital Center in Washington d.c. with a half filled areana on the Lovesexy tour in 88. He is the type of performer who is going to kick ass for a half filled stadium or a sellout because he is old school and anyone that can go see him live should while he is still performing because we are not seeing his type of showmanship much these days.

For these he rocks !!!

Thank you.

So what has been his worst tour?

Financially the love sexy U.S tour/ musically it was incredible.

Musically none that I have attended were bad. I have gone to 10 shows.

At every show the audience is on their feet and screaming. He is an incredible performer a while I am sure he has a bad night I really do not think he would ever purposely put on a bad show. He is no Whitney Houston or Sly Stone and to suggest such a thing is utter crap. Like I said you just do not like the set-list, this band or CD and that is the great thing about being a P fan. If you do not like something on this CD do not worry another one is coming next year. (LOL).

Just coz I called you gay dosn't mean i'm homophobic, if you had a grasp of the English language you would realise that language develops and gay once meant happy, then it was also used to decribe same sex relationships etc AND right now in the UK it is also used to describe something that is shit, and I have plently of gay friends who call things and/or people gay meaning exactly that.

Sounds like you are more narrow minded than I thought:-D

Thanks for my orgnote by the way and i quote "i hope you and your family (especially your ape like mother) die in pain"

Sounds like you are a tad insecure also!

This eireboy is a second identity of another poster and a troll. It is best to ignore him.

His other identity is rather obvious.

Spelling seriously? Recognise these?

disastrous

evah

replys

Notice how anyone who disagrees with this guy is now either a 'fam' or a JW?

Speak on what you know. I am visiting family in Geneva right now. We were supposed to go to the concert last night, but it was cancelled due to issues between the promoter, and the venue operators. The show was barely even advertised because the organizer never even paid for the venue. A few people heard about the show over the radio. The rest was word of mouth. Only a few thousand tickets were sold. The show was already postponed once and was supposed to occur last night. Most people here in Geneva hadn't even heard about the show.

Laydeez and gentlemen (and Bette) of the jury!

I put it to you that Prince's recent 20ten tour has been the most disastrous of his career.

The evidence?

Poor ticket sales. They even had to give away tickets or slash them by half price to get the punters in.

The setlist. Jesus H Christ! Has anything moved on since the O2 ? Answer?? NO!!!

Even Madonna" tell me when to stop miming" Ciccone lets her new songs live for a while onstage.

The band. Surely his lamest band ever. Cora? I think not! Shelby?? Crap cabaret bint or amazing talent waiting to be discovered??!! We all know the answer to that one!

The cancellations. We've all been a bit jittery since Croke Park and the recent events ( Good evening Geneva!!....NOT!!) have proved us right. Some even doubt ( or care) that Nice will take place.

The fashions. Who in the name of fuck told Prince he looked good in that stage outfit? Helen Keller??!!!

The support acts? Mint condition!!!...now there's a pun if ever there was one. Larry" No blood transfusions!" Graham??!! Even most Prince fans hope he gets adbucted by aliens, how did P think any sober festival go-er would be interested in paying for this second rate crap?

And speaking of "paying"- the ticket prices were shamefully high for such a poor show.

The album? Interesting, if inoffensive,pop-funk or sad offer from genius of yesteryear...answers on a postcard purleese!!!

No merchandise.! Just pay the high prices and then fuck off home after the umpteenth version of Purple Rain.

Crap covers. Oh yeah! He doesn't have enough classics in his rep to fill a couple of hours!!!

Sad lack of interest. Even here on the org the lack of excitement ( apart from some frogs and a couple of Belgians) was deafening.

M'Lud! I am not a Prince hater! But it's a sad day when you tell people that one of your favourite artists is Prince and they giggle nervously.

I rest my case. :

First off, you can hardly call a little over a weeks worth of shows (8?) a tour. Agreed that the hits have more than overstayed their welcome and that the covers are quite boring, escpecially when someone else is doing the singing. I am in the US so I have not seen any of these shows. I did go to the Paisley Park show in Oct 2009. I have to say that I have seen more concerts by Prince than most and I can't complain about any one of them. They were all great! Sure I wish he would play more new material off his latest releases, but that seems not to interest him too much for the past decade and a half. He still puts on a great show no matter what he plays.

It looks like a massive success to me. Big shows with big crowds. Energetic performances. Some great media buzz in the countries involved.

If you read the set list, it looks like the O2 shows. But Prince has completely reworked the hits. The version of Let's Go Crazy was the best I've heard in 22 years of seeing him live.

Which of the shows did you attend that left you with this impression? Hmm. Am I guessing...none of them?

I had missed your post!!!! So true! Thank you.

HonestMan13 said:

You are so right this tour is the most catostrophic, mismanaged, ill performed, sideshow of a tour evah! I think Prince should pack it in! It's quite obvious he's fallen off yet again. This lin-up he's touring with is the most horrid, talentless roadshow evah!

(All opinions above are based upon having not attended any of the recent shows and is clearly coming out of my ass)
