I have nothing much of relevance to add, except to say that that despite being a mostly hits show, the concert in Malahide last July was fucking brilliant.

I have to admit that was a hot show
I wish he would just get it that, if he had Shelby and the ladies bust out with Blue Limousine or something like that instead of a 'cover song' it would just take it to the next level. | |

Prince's Welcome 2 Canada, Victoria was a brilliant show!!! 99.9% of everything I say is strictly for my own entertainment | |

His eyeliner is perfect the make - up seems to be very accuate too. I can't decide if he's having heavy loda of it on his visage or not.
The shittier his music becomes, the better looking he does. I mean he's tight Prince I will always miss and love U. | |

Nevermind the bird feed honey, just tell me your name
You wont have that long if I get my way in this game My reputation precedes me, call it claim to fame They know me around the world, you want me just the same [Chorus:] Why should you be satisfied with just heaven and earth? When if you look around there's so much more to the universe Maybe every shining star, is just another part If you and I could ever open up our dirty hearts (Oh! Open up baby. Oh. Hey-hey ...) Listen All of us in minerals and chemicals of space You cary within your womb, that's how we got to this place This might be a bit serious, but if it turns you on Come with me now let's get nice till serious is gone [Chorus] (Oh! Come on! Oh! Oh. Get nice.) Love is much to small a word for what you feel for me If you ever let me explore your anatomy You and I lost in each other prisoners let free Come on Darlin' let's get down beginning endlessly (Uh uh. Let's get down! Uh uh. Beginning endlessly Uh uh. Let's get down! Whooh!) Come on! You see that I want ya. Ooh wee! Come on! Can't you see that I want ya. Feel me now! History is full of praise for another's history More and more than the one that became before both u and me Left alone with our devices, whatever will be will be A brand new story in the making beginning endlessly (Oh!) Love is much to small a word,for what you feel for me (Feel for me) If ever you you let me be, let me be your man Ooh baby! Understand. I wanna I wanna be your man | |

Prince knows he’s a bad and his Welcome 2 America tour serves as validation—as if more is needed. The purple one breezed through New Jersey’s Izod Center with his arsenal of hits and b-side classics. Absent from the east coast concert scene since 2004’s Musicology tour, the funk-fest that was W2A was a welcomed apology for those 6 years. Songstress Cassandra Wilson and legendary musician Maceo Parker served as the shows opening act. Parker, known for his run in James Brown’s band in the 60’s, still blows a mean horn. He blasted through Brown’s signature hits “Make It Funky”, “Funky Good Time” and “Soul Power”. Parker then blew the crowd away with his spot on impression and tribute performance of Ray Charles’ “You Don’t Know Me”. While Maceo went the funk route, Wilson was a smooth delight. Her velvety vocals and warrior woman presence made for a solid set. But things were turned up a notch when Prince surprised her onstage for an unexpected duet. Wilson was visibly taken aback but maintained her composure enough to finish the song. Through the darkness of the Izod Center the stage illuminated and a well lit outline of Prince’s signature symbol meant it was time for the main event. Through the pandemonium, Prince started the show off with “Let’s Go Crazy”, and the fans did just that. I almost lost my mind when I heard the familiar guitar licks of “Sexy Dancer” off his 1979 debut album, which was cleverly mixed with Chic’s “Le Freak”. Prince went deep in his catalog boasting, “We can be here all night”. One of the highlights of the night was when legendary Prince protege Sheila E. hit the stage. Looking amazing in a silver sequined tank, black leggings, with black platform stiletto boots; She—alongside her mentor—sent the crowd into a frenzy with a rousing rendition of “Glamorous Life.” Not to be outdone the dynamic duo launched into “Love Bizarre.” Prince served up a second encore with “If I Were Your Girlfriend”, “Insatiable”, “Scandalous”, and the soul stirring “Adore.” Undoubtedly, this show is a must-see. The last two Welcome 2 America tour dates are Dec. 29 and Jan. 18 at New York’sMadison Square Garden. —Monica “Mama Soul” Williamson/Justin Dwayne Joseph

I see no connection b-ween 20ten and Welcom 2
Edit: Didn't he say he was ill during an interview in Canada? I hope he's recovering well.

That's the sad part.
the tour starting in Europe was somehow connected to the release of the 20Ten cd(only released in Europe) then it turned into the Welcome 2 America section, I think he only played once in awhile 2 songs from the album... Sticky Like Glue and another... this period is just all over the place. It started out with high hopes and expectations of reunions with band members and dancers and the the Bobby Z incident
But as in the last few years the tours Prince does does not feature or highlight the music of the new album... | |

Some beautiful photographs already! Where are all the gorgeous ones from the summer? There were some absolute crackers of Prince. I loved the white Jedi-like top/cape he wore at Malahide. I did wonder at the time if it was woven in one piece; had that look & affect... | |

I saw Prince at Madison Square Garden with wifey and we both went to South Carolina, it was a C.O.O.L. show but, it didn't feel like a W2A show or a 20Ten show, it felt like a 'greatest hits' show which I liked ( still ) ... Peace ... & Stay Funky ...

This tour marked the first time i saw Prince, when he announced the 21 nights at the Forum my mom sister, my girlfriend and I flew from Detroit to California and went to the last 3 shows of the tour, it was the best 17th birthday present ever | |
