Choreographed and dressed.

lol. some of those people look like they're just hanging out at the concert

on their break from renovating the house. i wouldn't leave the house like

that, let alone get up on stage at a prince show.

How rude to steal from Prince and wtf was up with the lady in the white with running shoes? I mean could she get any closer to him? Maybe that's why he moved the mic You know considering that a fan killed Lennon people like that kinda scare me Just to damn close to Princey

The guy in question is Serge Simonart, a famous Belgian music journalist a,d Prince-fan that interviewed prince several times...Prince knows him very well....

Why refer to them as white? There are some not very good dancers up on that stage. Leave it at that. As for the David Lynch reference...I guess it could be funny if I could even begin to think what the reference might be...and I know a few David Lynch movies.

The only good white person is a mu'fukin [snipped]-Anxiety white person.

My Lynch reference point:

that's cool that it's on tape. Prince was having the best of fun on stage with all these people and he has 5 picks in front of him so I'm sure he doesn't care but the guy had a lot of guts, I would not have dared in a lifetime.

Thanks for the pedal board photo. Interesting that the Flanger at this show is not in its usual place between the Delay(white box) and the Octave(brown box).

I see it but I can't imagine him using it because he sings while going all across the stage, I've never ever seen him standing still looking down to read his own lyrics. And I've never witnessed him forgetting his lyrics.

But that doesn't explain why it was there. These pics are from Arras I believe, I don't know if he had a teleprompter during the other shows.

He has been using these for a long time, I even remember when he had someboy to put the printed lyrics in front of him and change the sheets during the shows (this was in Vegas).

Really? Then he hides it very well, I've heard many artists mess up pieces of their lyrics and I think it's normal but I've never expected him to have sheets or that teleprompter in front of him. Truth is that he has sung different words in songs but to be honest, to me it seemed he was doing some improvising since they are his songs, seems he's human after all

To use a teleprompter or sheets is nothing unusual. Whether your name is Prince, or Elton John or whatever. It's just a safety blanket, in case you happen to go blank and need a reminder.

What show was this from?

Nice to see Prince having a laugh. I remember seeing him crowd surfing at the Hippodrome in London (98 I think) and joking about people stealing his jewellery.

surprised me didn't try ti pull off a pedal...

hey look it is Prince's #1 Fan!

Wow. Another cool one! Thanks. Got any more?

Looks like the Flanger got a different spot in the line-up at that show. It's the purple one, second from left. Maybe he was experimenting with the extraneous noise levels and got better results with that configuration. Analog stomp boxes make a lot of unwanted noise, especially that many being daisy-chained together. As long as the Flanger is in line before the Distortion pedal, the sky's the limit for slight sound tweaks.

Yep. Takumi changed the lyric sheets for Prince throughout the 2002 Celebration. Maybe he bought Prince an Autocue for Christmess that year. He's used it off and on since then.

Only the same ones, I've been seeing them pop up like mushrooms.

This is from the Viage in Brussels 7th November.

Edit: Seems you're right about the sequence, they're different here, this was a small room.

And this one belongs probably to the first ones with the teleprompter

Dude looked shook which amused the hell out of Prince apparently. I would have laughed and pointed at that guy for the remainder of the song. Seriously, who dressed these folks? I guess to get on stage I gotta wear my house pants and a grungy, wrinkled ass T-shirt and be tone deaf with two left feet, huh? Hot mess personified. Epic fail. Damn right I'm hatin' on those folks because they deserve it. I don't do pretty lies.

Seriously! LMAO

When I watched this, all I could think was, "I wish Dan were still here so he could PhotoShop Prince's head on that guy's body and make a gif out of it."

Prince uses a teleprompter?!

Apparently, at the Gansevoort show, he had a woman holding up a book with lyric sheets.
