Well, I got 2 out of 3 songs right, that I mentioned he might play. Was happy to hear 'Plectrumelectrum' and 'Another Love.' Prince and Donna play well together. Was cool to see Liv Warfield in the background, and Lianna wasn't bad either.

Will people here finally get her name right? It's LIANNE.

Wasn't that Shelby with the tamborine?

Half of plectrum was played w/o a cord in his guitar...pretty funny.

yeah but once he did plug it in, all was forgiven.

Did we just watch the same thing?

One of my predictions came true!

Hatrina, I can always count on you to do exactly what you always do.

Now, about the show: Clouds and Another Love? Thank you for a fun set the naysayers said wouldn't happen.

Say whatever you will about me but other people without their heads stuck up Prince's ass are talking about it and it's nothing nice.

Dull performance. It wasn't 'bad' but just... dull, servicable, okay. 3rdEyeGirl have run their course. I don't know why he has kept this band so long, it's not like him. Of all the bands he chooses to keep he goes with this? His afro looked terrible, you could see right through it.

Also, was he trying to dress like Dracula with a Princey spin for halloween? Serious question

I don't think so, it appeared to be Liv. Guess I'll find out if another person confirms it.

It was Liv....blonde, short hair and all. I like her better with her hair dark and long but I digress. Again...

Whoa, that was shockingly terrible. I never thought I would see a Prince performance that sloppy and dull. It is really time to retire 3rd Eye Girl. That was embarrassing.

From YOUR Mouth to HIS ears... He needs his funky NPG back... This whole 3rd Eye Girl thing is SOOOO played.......... and the Fro? Fro's Gotta go.............

I couldn't care less about the Revolution and I love AOA unreservedly, and much of PE. But the performance was incredibly sloppy and flat.

Whatever I am not sure what you were looking for and I am not sure you know either.

Don't be so condescending. You sound foolish.

They had most of 3rd Eye Girl at the end saying thank you with Chris Rock. Joshua was there, too, just behind his wife Hannah.

I didn't see Donna, though.

Chris shouted out Lianne by name, at the end.

Haven't even seen the performance yet, although I'm looking forward to it... The guy plays live and suddenly everyone is a composer/producer/camera angle/sound technician/blah blah blah frigging expert. Get the hell over yourselves people.... Just sayin..

Yes, like they are experts

I don't think any one is claiming to be an "expert"... but we all have our own ideas of what is great and what is good.. (and what sucks) Personally I think the Revolution Sucked.. and I think 3rd Eye Girl sucks.. I am more of an NPG fan.. like from 87-99 those times.. The band was hot, funky, fresh and likable..

I am a long LONG time Prince fan.. A really big fan.. but I do not have to like every single thing he does.. and this was just "blah" as some said... and the Fro does look totally stupid on a man of his age.. He is SO cute... he needs to go back to a more sexy/mature style..

I agree with some one who said tho- that it was sorta sloppy and cramped.. its just not the way a Prince performance should be...

For those of you who liked it.. I am glad.. for those of you who didn't.. I agree..

Donna was standing at the right of Hannah.

Thanks. I missed her.

My expectations were much higher...a good performance but definitely not his best.

Started strong with Clouds, kind of lost me with PE and Marz

Then finished well with Another Love.

By the way...Chris Rock needs to work on his acting and reading cue cards. I actually sat thru the whole show and the endless commercials...and I might go gouge my eyes out. Seriously I'd rather watch old people take a shit on my front door step.

I thought his treatment of Clouds was seriously lacking. That song deserves better. Didn't remote,y compare to studio version The 3rd eye girl songs were Ok Prince is just getting old and fighting it...but it's catching up to him His fro looked ridiculous. P just doesn't look good anymore i will say it again...his treatment of Clouds was just bad. I'm not sure those girls can play that song anyhow. I played clouds tonight for a couple of my boys who know I loved P back in the day. They were blown away by the start of the song. Blown away. I said nothing as I watched their heads bob and both them say damn as the bass and beat filled in. Clouds is a fantastic R&B song. Prince performed it like ho hum. That's too bad I'm officially over this dude. He has no idea who he is [Edited 11/1/14 22:16pm] [Edited 11/1/14 22:18pm]

I never thought it would be possible, but I think I'm kind of over Prince also. There was a time when I would have been waiting anxiously by the TV all day, knowing that he would be on it, ready to record and save his performance to watch over and over again, but I wasn't interested enough to even watch tonight.

I dvr'd it, since I was sleep. I hadn't watched it yet, so I figure I'll stop here first to get the gist on what songs he performed, and how was the performance. Reading many of the comments in this thread,basically comfirmed what I figured. I'll happliy still play 80's Prince...but....wake me when Purple Rain Remaster is released. Peace N Love Peeps.
