Just to let you guys know...Prince performed in concert in St. Louis, MO this last Friday, Valentines Day, with Earth Wind & Fire, Patti LaBelle, Luther Vandross, and other groups. His performance was short, but great. It was THE best Valentines present I could have gotten.

details? Set list?

Not that i doubt you.

Set list...

He performed pieces from

Adore
Diamonds & Pearls
Do Me Baby - honey it was 2 die 4...
The Beautiful Ones - I wanted to cry...
How Come U don't Call me anymore...etc...

Prince has NOT lost his touch...and ALL the women were screaming...and Prince had not lost his charm...I think he was REALLY enjoying the ladies in the audience...

What's this all about?

How come no one heard anything?

Where in St. Louis was the performance???

Is this really true???

He performed at the Savvis Center in St. Louis, Mo. It was hosted by Magic 105. It was also broadcast live on air.

I can't believe what I just read here...it's nuts, did he perform there just like that??

Well alright, that's our man. He ALWAYS surprises us. I do want to believe this news is true, it's just that we haven't heard or read any reviews of it so far. I'm glad that you got the chance to see Prince perform, June 19. Go on Prince with your bad self.

I think Prince is a TRUE romantic!

OK Prince surprise us with the start of NPGMC 2003 and the Celly.

Doubtful. I checked all the message boards and official sites of the groups mentioned and did numerous google searches and found nothing.

what did he do, a piano-medley of 5min ?!
or did he play with his own band

Seeing Prince perform on Valentine's Day! What a treat! I'm happy for you!

Prince

Hope this is true. It's nice to imagine him singing those songs on a Valentine's Day to a bunch o' lovers in the audience. (And, in my personal imaginings, while while wearing a beautiful red suit.. )

Can't believe no one has mentioned this yet,

First of all...my life is NOT that boring that I would have to make up the fact that Prince peformed in St. Louis. The man was there in PERSON. He performed after Patti LaBelle. And I must say that ALL the performances were top notch! I didn't know about it either until my friend told me the day of. Magic 105 (A Clear Channel Station) promoted the concert. He was there along with other great artists. Thats basically it. Magic rebroadcast the performance last night over the air.

I too purchased the paper (Post Dispatch) in St. Louis while I was there. And it was really sad that none of the papers covered the concert. It's unfortunate that St. Louis only cares about people like Nelly b/c he is a rap artist. And they didn't really understand how rare it was to have THAT many traditional artists in one night. You had 2 B there...

Any further confirmation of this???

I really don't know what else you guys want...a bootleg possibly? Don't know...I've tried to contact the radio station as to when they are going to post the pics...they may play back the concert again...thats about it...other than that...it was a great concert...

And by the way...its really, really sad that people would come on here to make up stuff. It was a good concert and it didn't get a lot of attention. What can I say...if you aren't putting out some Cash Money or Ruff Ryders tune then the mainstream doesn't care about what you do. And honestly its a very sad state of music, specifically speaking black music.

And I too was shocked that I hadn't heard about the concert sooner. Even when Prince came to St. Louis last year, the local radio stations didn't even air the commercials until 2 weeks before the show. The same happened with this show.

I guess we are all so used to immediate details on every concert. No ill intent was meant towards you at all.

I think this must b the radiostation that is/was broadcasting this show: http://www.majic105.com/main.html It's possible 2 listen online, but right now I got an error when trying...maybe it does work later...

Thank you Serpan...I'm waiting for the station to hit me back to bring some more info...I'll see if they can send me a flyer or something...I'll post it here...

DAMN, what a NICE surprise

Any more info surface? To me this is the most important Prince tidbit.

Now you all know why NPGMC was not offered through the month of Feb... ...get ur credit card's ready though

Go P, go P, go P !!! ... NPGMC,NpgMc!!! NPGMC ..

Pulling this thread up to see if anybody has read or heard any further reports about this performance.

It's been a week now, so I was wondering if anyone has found any more detailed information about it.
