Has anyone ever snuck backstage at a Prince concert? I often fantasize about sneaking backstage at the Prince concert. I imagine myself hiding in his dressing room, touching and smelling his clothes while he is on stage singing. Then when Prince finally comes in his dressing room he greets me with a big smile. And we sit, talk and tell funny jokes. I know it would never end this way in real life it's just a fantasy. So, has anyone ever snuck backstage at a Prince concert? If no, tell us what u would do if u did. Superfunkycalifragisexy! | |

backstage may not be what u think. It's a bunch of people getting their jobs done and anyone that does not belong there would be noticed in 2 seconds. It's not a party, it's a frantic sight. Plus security is around so yeah, not happening open yo mind, the entire universe you'll find

No need to sneak back stage. People are working and why not just get invited back stage? I know you wouldn't any one sneaking into your house. 99.9% of everything I say is strictly for my own entertainment | |

There's a backstage? "Never let nasty stalkers disrespect you. They start shit, you finish it. Go down to their level, that's the only way they'll understand. You have to handle things yourself." | |

I've worked backstage -- setting up equipment, loading & unloading trucks, and acting as security. I was always part of the house crew (i.e. I worked at one venue, as opposed to traveling with the artist). We workers would have fun after set up, if we weren't on security duty. We'd dance, get autographs, etc. Most people who snuck back stage would get tossed, but a few would be allowed to stay and they seemed to enjoy it! "Love & honesty, peace & harmony" | |

that's where i stopped reading and my total sci-fi fantasy kicked in. He gave me the other jet pack and we flew off to the next tour stop. I then tuned his blue angel and he opened with "Vavoom", followed by "Dolphin", "Electric Chair", "Wall Of Berlin" and "Loveleft, Loveright". Sadly, i can't rewrite the rest of the setlist, as my time is now up. "Whatever skin we're in

I was never backstage but I did come across a room at the back of Studio 54 at the MGM; it was right after a performance of an aftershow (I think the first Hit and Run Tour, ironically enough) and this room led to an open door and I could see outside to the strip. I saw his guitars lying there in their cases. I wanted to make a mad dash, the Latino blood pumping within prompted me to do so. I couldn't do that to P. Plus, I know the type of security camera's they have around Vegas. klick | |

Yes. 1988. I wrote about it in a thread here somewhere. [Edited 3/16/15 14:59pm] | |

I've never been backstage for Prince but plenty of other big shows. It's not that big a deal, mostly people trying to get through the waiting part of the day. I'll go back there if I know someone that would appreciate me stopping in to say hello, or if they have big hospitality coolers full of beer. Otherwise I generally stay out of their hair. | |

house crew is a lot different than road crew. Road crews have specific tasks to handle and aren't hanging out backstage dancing or getting autographs. open yo mind, the entire universe you'll find
