I've got a gut feeling that he isn't bringing this tour to the East Coast..I bet the next time that i get to see him play that he'll be back with the NPG..I think that would be a huge mistake..finally he is rocking out with an exciting tour..But he'll pull the plug & get the boring other show again..Shades of the sign o' the times fiasco back in the day.

I like how this goes from a gut feeling to a certainty in the space of four lines.

Maybe wait and see before you start complaining about fiascos?

Double post.

So if that's the case, solve your problem and go see 3rdeyegirl while they're currently performing with him. That's the easiest way to cure your fears as to whether he will use them or a different group of band members for a show or tour, when he's feeling what kind of music he wants to play for the moment.

This particular tour seems to be geared for those who want to hear Prince do straight rock guitar. Either way, if he changes band members in the future, and want to play some rock tunes, doesn't mean other band members can't play his rock songs just the same as those bandmembers in 3rdeyegirl. According to most of the songs on the current tour setlists, it's not like he hasn't performed many of those songs with other band members before, besides the ones in 3rdeyegirl.

By the way, as far as hoping Prince comes to the East Coast....good luck with that.

He's probably going to come in it's time, when the weather is warmer

I hope he hits 1st Avenue
