This is shaping up quite nicely... glad to see D'Angelo back on the bill... and now with the Melvoin sisters & Eric Leeds... how will Prince sit still in the audience during all this? smile

I wouldn't rule out Prince being in a luxury box suite, out of the view of the public. He didn't look very comfortable sitting at the 2010 BET Awards with his reactions filmed and studied.

Oh I'm sure he'll be out of view, otherwise all eyes would be on him. lol

Still... it's gonna be hard for him to resist jumpin on that stage.

Well, DrF had this msg below on his twitter page yesterday, and they're still listed on the Carnegie Hall website as being part of the tribute. The folks running the carnegie website need to do some clarification, so not to mislead folks. but then again the Carnegie Hall site has always stated the listings are "subject to change without notice", so we shall see.

"via email: D'Angelo, Eric Leeds, Wendy & Susannah Melvoin just confirmed for the Prince Tribute at the Carnegie Hall in NY on March 7th!"

The Roots/Wendy/Susannah & Eric should be a hot combination

Nothing Compares 2 U would be cool for Susannah to sing

I'll wait to get official confirmation from their management before I get my tickets.

Prince may be the purple Yoda, but Wendy & Lisa and Eric Leeds also sit on the Jedi Council.

lol Exactly, and I think that's what some folks seem to forget. It's a tribute show honoring Prince, whether or not Wendy, Susannah or Eric are there. Seats are selling out pretty fast, and if there are anymore available by Saturday, I have a feeling after the grammys on Sunday, those will most likely be sold.

I guess that's something I'll have to worry about then lol Just seeing Prince in the audience isn't enough to get me to fly across the whole country, add Eric, Susannah and Wendy and I'm in. It's not just about Prince for some of us wink

lol Exactly, and I will see you there! I bought my tix the week of New Year's with no expectations, but just thought it would be a nice tribute to experience. No disrespect to Eric, Wendy or Susannah of course, and sure it would be nice if they are part of this tribute, but I just think some fans shouldn't set their expectations too high, thinking it will be some sort of Revolution reunion, then may get upset if it isn't what they set their own expectations up for. Sometimes it's best to just wait and see what happens.

Bad, somehow in your reply #23, your response ended up inside my post at the bottom, so I separated it, and posted it here. smile
