Fall/Winter 2011 Ideas

Prince has had a very successful year in 2011. 2nd Leg of the Welcome 2 America Tour (New York, NC, Oakland), a few aftershows, 21 Night Stand (sort of) in LA, & last but not least the amazing Welcome 2 Europe Tour.

but with talk of him taking a break from releasing music, what's Prince's next move for the rest of the year?

i personally would like to see him on a hit & run tour in the US but in smaller venues like the green door, roseland ballroom, 1st avenue, SOB's, Hotel Gansevoort, etc.

a small, tight unit of a band: Drums, bass, 1 or 2 keyboards. MAYBE Shelby J but as less as possible!

they could jam at every show. switch it up as usual: hits, covers (VERY FEW), b-sides, unreleased & newer songs! (3121, Planet Earth, LotusFlow3r, MPLSound, 20Ten) similar to the 2008-2009 on-off shows

that would be awesome. have live nation run it. announce shows via twitter, facebook, even Dr. Funkenberry.

i think it would be hip & pretty cool cool

I'd like some feedback. what do you guys think?

That sounds cool but I want him to be reclusive for a while and come back with an interesting and new idea and have ppl go "where did that come from" in a good way of course cool

Lol.continuing the w2a tour would be a good idea but knowing Prince, he's already off that. Kinda how he was over SOTT when it came time for a US tour.idk. he could do an end of the year NPG festival with some paisley park shows. Just to try something different. Alot of different songs; old and newer. Slimmer band. No andy, as less shelby j as possible.

I love Sheila E and how she just has no problem at all focusing & highlighting her 1980's

Those Yoshi club shows were Brownmark jammed with her and she had Eddie M & Levi rocking totally shows how the people there were 'there' just adds a whole other dimension to the music, the energy level goes up

I wish Prince would do this more and not be afraid of his whole career and those who were 'there' helping make it happen.

I would love to see him with a band that circulates having people on stage with him from Andre Dez Jill Dr Fink etc along with newer band members. I think it could spark another level of excitement for his career...

I'd like him to release a really good album, which he hasn't done since TRC.

Let's hope so, but I'd be satisfied with another Lotus Flow3r...

to make things more interesting, he could do paisley park shows or a week long celebration like he used to in the old days. that would be fun.

I'd like to see Prince have a meeting with M.C. Hammer and learn some street smartz.

It's an uphill climb to the finish line.
