i was unsure if he,d done sumthing like this .i suppose the type of shows im referring to are fairly commercial .but at the celebration is his show i just think that for anyone that wants prince to move more into the general persons eye this would be the perfect way without losing class if u c what i mean

Beyond the coolness of the idea I found the accoustic show to be very boring at times. Some of the songs just didn't work.

That was one of the highest points at the Celebration. Fantastic. I loved the telemarketer song.

Yes I often have WRONG opinions. Do you have a copy of the boot of this show?

I too found the majority of his acoustic show to be poor. Often his playing was uninspired and resulted in 'noodlings' which just didnt work, forgotten lyrics, poor time keeping. Sometimes his playing was just plain sloppy.However, on the plus side, managed to show some moments of brilliance. For instance, the joy and power in his voice during '7' and the fun displayed on his rendition of 'peach'.

i really believe that prince could do a great acoustic show. Although, i think it'd require some structure and thought on princes part before he put it into practice.
