He has some praise for 'The Wee Man' as he calls him.

Thanks for sharing. Interesting.

It worked (thank you!) and I don't blame you a bit.

"I remember one wee guy across the street shouting, 'Go on, yersel, wee man.'"

Cool story!

thanks 4 posting this, so cool & very funny also. i remember an orger talking about the glasgow garage aftershow, about how tiny the place was & how they crammed the audience in.. glasgow..!? prince was so brave, but shit! what was he thinking?

donald mcleod recollections are too funny to imagine..

prince played until after 3am, the highlight was that he went out the front door onto sauchiehall street at the end of the night, the Rolls reversed at 70 mph, the back door of the car swung open and prince dived into the back seat like an olympic swimmer.

he remembered someone across the street shouting, 'Go on, yersel, wee man.' ... please, what does that mean in english? it sounds funny whatever,

he talks about 'prince's wife' stagediving & how when prince was undecided wether to perform, donald told him he could not guarantee his safety if he did not. wtf!

& did they say he had a kebab thrown at him?..

i know i shouldn't be laughing but

Those two secc gigs were better than Celtic park and meadowbank put together. I didn't catch the aftershow but the main gigs were two of the best Prince shows I have attended.

thanks young yosh for the post....i was at the first secc show....didnt hear about the aftershow but i remember the main show as this was the tour he wasnt playing any hits....apart from the most beautiful girl....it was all weird and wonderful stuff...great for the hardcore fan....i think he even played ' i love u in me'....and other b sides....what i remember most was 'gold' played as the final song and it sounded amazing....remember this was a good six months before the release of the gold experience so it was the first time we had heard it but its still one of my favourite prince songs....

you'd be surprised. glasgow is more accepting than most places in the UK. nobody would likely care.

if prince can get away with in in a place like american, he could anywhere else.

It means what it means, really. Gawn yersel wee man (or big man, dependant on either height, weight or social standing of recipient), in its simplest sense, is a congratulatory term commonly used by Scotsmen in celebration of a person's achievements. I guess a rough translation from colloqual brigue would be 'I admire and respect what you have done'.

The first SECC night was my first ever Prince show. Amazing night. I was only 15 so didn't go to the aftershow. Was gutted when I read about it!
