I have to agree with this. I even posted about it when I first heard about the 21 nights in LA.
LA is not a good location for these types of shows. Not everybody can #1) buy a plane ticket and #2) book hotel rooms, just to see him perform.
If he had done a traveling tour and aggressively promoted himself along with a new CD, we'd be looking at Musicology level success potentially.
But dude is probably just trying to pay off debts and stuff.
Every video clip I've seen of the concert looked like the place was half-empty. Despite great performances, that zaps the vibe.
The venue should have been smaller and this should have been a travelling show.
The O2 is a in a great location in Europe, Prince's support is better. LA is a dreadful spot to center an American run. Had it been the East Coast, he would have at least saw a few Europeans hop over. But there isn't one Asian alive that even knows who Prince is nor would traverse the Pacific to come see him.
I'm not sure what the real story is here, but BartVanTemperTantrum is absolutely correct me thinks.
He really knows how to burn bridges. You're a real fucker. You act like you own this place--ParanoidAndroid <-- about as witty as this princess gets! ![]() I hope everyone pays more attention to Sags posts--sweething ![]() Jesus weeps ![]() | |

Exactly...if the dude TOURED and went to other cities other than the coasts he would've saved some humilation. | |

The NC didn't sell out?
I thought somebody said that they sold out. I was shocked. I figured he wouldn't fill half the room. You're a real fucker.

The only reason why the tickets aren't all hundreds of dollars is because Prince has a heart and realizes that the economy is bad and people are jobless and can't afford much more than that. It has nothing to do with the quality of his work-or the ability he has to sell tickets. It's a very grand and generous thing he's doing that more artists should follow suit and do too. Entertainment has gotten out of hand charging crazy amounts to see them perform. Prince is doing what most greedy artists won't do. He's giving back to the community by sharing his love of music and his artistry with a very sad sad world-he's giving joy and not raping your wallet. So in response to your comment that 'something's not right'-my answer back to you is 'something is very right and very loving and giving and that something is Prince and the NPG'.

Prince shows were quite pricey when we were going into a recession, I don't see why he would drop them as we're coming out of one based on that argument.
I'm not sure if you're very young or just delusional, but assuming the motivations of Prince or any other human being that you don't know personally is a weak basis for an argument.
We only know a few facts here:
1. This is a pattern in Prince's behavior. 2. Each time it's happened before it's been Prince's fault.
Whether Prince "has a heart" is "spreading love" or trying horde funds to build a mothership to visit Zorkon the Space-God on the other side of the moon is unknown.

I have nothing against NC.
I just would never in a billion years live there, though driving by the rockies on the way to NYC was nice. You're a real fucker.

Right, no one knows the story. Therefore saying that Prince's motivations were out of love is just silly.
My point is those who are pointing out his past behavior like Bart have a valid point. Those who are pointing his altruistic tendencies specific to this situation are....making shit up You're a real fucker.

Oh, god, now some of you new power butt puppets are orgnoting over your anger of my comments on North Carolina
Look, there's nothing wrong with living in a place that sucks. I've lived in some sucky places before. I know what it's like.
You get delusional and start saying it doesn't suck, poor things.
There...is...nothing...wrong...with...living...in...a...place...that...sucks.
I just won't join you

All true and I'm sure giving barely a week's notice for the shows doesn't help either. Prince, in you I found a kindred spirit...Rest In Paradise. | |

Powder butt puppet. I like that. But really though. If you have never lived here, you do not know how it is. Right? What I was really referring to was the fact that this is your second silly comment about NC. The first was several days ago when you said that people in NC are poor and have probably never seen a black person. -you ain't funky at all, you just a little ol' prude! | |

He filled roughly half. I got free front-row seats because it undersold so badly. | |

No, it's not silly. I wouldn't live in Aphganistan either you know.
Look, there is nothing wrong with living in a place I dispise. You obviously like it.
I lived in the deep South (Alabama), and whenever somebody knocks it, I just say, "yup. You got that right."
I think moving away and living in a real place gives you perspective.
North Carolina is pretty. Newburn is nice. But I'd kill myself if I had to live there.
And yeah--the "never saw a black person" comment is a bit much, but my branding places in the South racsist doesn't bother me. I'm ok with thinking that about those states.
Why do people get so offended when I tell them where they live sucks? I mean, folks have told me they think Florida sucks--I just think, "good on you. I love this place and would rather not share it with you anyways,

I'm from North Carolina and I'm BLACK.
So you definitely lost points with me Sags. | |

Was it promotion? Or was the venue just too big?
Prince really should stop thinking about arenas for the time being and concentrate on intimate shows. You're a real fucker.

Where I live at is real quiet. I'm sure if fate had dealt me a different card, I would've lived in NYC or L.A., depends on how you take it.
But I won't go that far saying it sucks. But hey that's your opinion. | |

Anyways, Prince has struggled with concerts in the States for a while, that's why he prefers performing in Europe. | |

By my saying NC sucks, it doesn't mean I think you suck, Timmy

How long has he been using that same stage setup.
One thing that struck me is that it doesn't seem that he changes the look or feel of his tours anymore. You get a different poster, sure. But the actually stage appears about the same. You throw in the twins, then Brian, and now Misty (poor thing).
But it doesn't change much.
It's like each tour doesn't feel any different from the previous one. Hell, even the set lists aren't all that different. You're a real fucker.

Dear, It's not offensive that you think a place sucks. It is the stereotyping you try to instill upon it. I despise racism, and live right in the south. Funny, some of my family just visited here...from Florida. -you ain't funky at all, you just a little ol' prude! | |

You know what, I don't want to derail this thread any further.
My comments against NC in the other thread reflect my own prejudices--ones I'm ok to live with.
But as far as my comment on NC here, it was merely to see what the shows were like. I had not heard that NC failed or bombed before this thread.
To me, the idea that a musician of Prince's caliber would bother to do shows in North Carolina at all would indicate that people would be excited come to see him--being a special event rather than say, LA where it would be expected.
So I was curious as to if it was true that the shows bombed.
According to a post in response to my question I guess they did indeed bomb.
1/2 a stadium isn't good.
