Purple Rain tour at The Fabulous Forum in L.A. 1985. I wore embarrassment:black parachute pants with a purple bandana tied around my left leg, black smurf boots and a black trench lol. Gawd. I thought you were supposed to dress crazy. The place was crazy--purple floodlights outside the arena, everyone excited and dressed to the nines. One thing..Ive been to many concerts and I must say that (at least at that time) Prince had the most beautiful females attenmding his concerts. And the way they dressed, hot damn. We were happy just to kick it in the lobby for a few. Had terrible seats in back of the stage and my friends frist reaction to the band was "damn Lisa got fat" since we had view of her caboose and she was kind of hefty. We came a little late in Sheila E's set and tripped at what we saw though. Prince ended up doing an encore of America with the lights on playing geetar on his back..he was dressed like King Vitamin or Burger King lol. Later we met Dr. Fink who was talking to people witha drink in hand after the concert at the Forum Bar entrance while his ride was just there. He's ben around a forever but nothing will ever be like the "event status" as Purle Rain was.

(moment of silence 4 the hair)

the first time i seen 'im wuz at the very first paisley party i went 2...march 16, 2001 (may as well be the 17th, cuz ol' boy didn't play till the wee hours of the mawnin, like always )...it wuz 4 the npgmc launch party (i still got the t-shirt they gave me at the front door!)

anyways, my first live glimpse of the brotha is when me, my friend nicole (MiscBaby from the .org) and a friend of hers were standin and talkin in the soundstage, waitin 4 sumfin 2 happen. the big-ass projector wuz on, and u could see what wuz goin on in the adjacent room (aka "the l4oa room"), cuz there wuz a camera hooked up. about 10 or so minutes of us bein there, we were talkin about sumfin, and all the sudden misc's friend goes, "there he is!" and i'm like, "there who is?" she wuz like, "it's prince, he's here, c'mon!!" i looked up at the screen and i seen 'im...all i remember thinkin wuz, "oh, wow!!" i wasn't panicky or droolin or anything like that, ya'll...it wuz just like..."wow!"

we all ran 2 the other room--misc told me, "it's gonna be your first paisley report (btw, my report from that nite's archived somewhere, i posted it once ), go up towards the front, gyrl!!!" so i went about 2 or 3 rows in 2 the front near the stage...i woulda been even closer, but these two tall, skinny heffas wouldn't budge when i politely asked "excuse me!" cuz i couldn't see anything. they gave me like the snootiest looks in the world...i'ma never forget that shit (that, and how much i wanted 2 bust 'em in their damn grills ).

i don't remember what the brotha played at all that nite (damn my memory ), but dont'cha know i remember how he looked--he wore the same red outfit he wore in the "u make my sun shine" video, and he still had long hair...



(moment of silence 4 the hair)


and he did the splits that nite!!! 'twas the first (and possibly last ) time i'ma ever see him do the splits live...that shit wuz tight!!!





...and there's my long, drawn-out testimonial. u may commence 2 sharin your experience.

p.s. i forgot what clothes i wuz wearin that nite, but i do remember that i wore high-heeled boots. i can't forget that shit, cuz my feet hurt like hell the next day



no high heels 4 paisley parties edit

February 1985, Nassau Coliseum...PURPLE RAIN. I wore black leather pants, white shirt and a red bomber jacket. I was in the nose bleed seats so I moved to be behind the stage. I couldn't really see him but I remember dancing my ass off to Delirious. His best NY concert was Radio City Music Hall in 1993. All the critics love HIM in NY.
