The closing at the 15th Rockpalast Festival will take form as a live concert from Prince. Prince plays on this evening from Syracuse, New York in the morning. The Rockpalast staff has succeeded, exclusively for Europe, to agree to a live stereo airing by satellite. Since so many of Prince's tours are announced and then again canceled, Prince's concert on the 30th and 31st of March will be the only possibility to see him live in Europe. A tour in the foreseeable future is not planned.

The Rockpalast staff has been trying to get Prince to do a live appearance for a long time. After the deals in 1984 had to be pushed aside because of Prince's non-stop obligations, the plan to let Prince play at the Rockpalast via satellite was then decided upon for the 15th Rockpalast Festival. This transmission will be the first ever of this kind. At this time, Prince is the most popular and most successful rock musician in the USA. After joining the group of superstars in recent years, and especially through his LP releases and spectacular concerts, he sprang as an all- around talent in all categories with the release of his first movie 'Purple Rain'. In the meantime, tours are made up of series of concerts lasting many days in the biggest halls in the respective cities; the live performances are met with many-minutes-long standing ovations from the audience.

With the live transmission on March 30th and 31st, the Rockpalast staff will give Prince's fans the possibility to experience the effects of his 110-minutes-long live concert.
In spite of some sound problems, the transmission was successful and the typical Prince live atmosphere really came through.

How much more can I say about Prince, who also has called himself 'Symbol' or O(+

A vast amount of information can be found on the Internet.
