Has Prince played 'America'... ... at any of the W2A gigs? Seems odd if he didn't. What's the significance of 'Welcome 2 America' anyway? Sorry if this has already discussed, but wading thru each of concert threads is too much work for me.  | |

He has not played 'America', but he has played the new song, 'Welcome 2 America'. ALT+PLS+RTN: Pure as a pane of ice. It's a gift. |

Wonder if it might not go along with the JW as they do not do any type of patriotic stuff. It is unfortunate cause it can be one helluva song live!! If any JW out there know the specifics please share. | |

If he plays America on the feb 7 show I will be very upset...no matter how good 1/18 was. .......Oh-oh-oh, by the way...He plays guitar.

Interesting lyrics. But I still detest Prince waxing poetic about sociopolitical issues. | |

Backing vox "Welcome 2 America" sung by the females, with Prince rapping the lyrics mostly.
Groove reminiscent of Parliament's "P.Funk (Wants To Get Funked Up)" ALT+PLS+RTN: Pure as a pane of ice. It's a gift. |

What about "All The Critics Love U In New York"? He was all about that song overseas. | |

Thanks again for the info!  But this further confirmation that Prince is nuttier than a fruit cake. He plays it in Europe and New Jersey, but NOT New York? Gotta love it. | |
