prince uses a lyric book when he's playing live.
Is it because he get's old or has he got to many songs to remember?

if you know the words to the song, sing along, if not you better ask somebody...

he struggles to read wendy's instructions.


lol!

yes, he is, I looked at a video of baby knows live at top of the pops, and just a bit to the left of P is a book .this is the same as he had wirh him at the ONA concerts.his Japanese friend turns the pages once and a while.

just a tought, maybe his preaches are in there

Hell, Sting used a lyric book back when I saw him tour for "Nothing Like The Sun"...Bowie uses a lyric book...it's not uncommon, and from what I've heard musicians say, they don't even use them that much - it's more of a safety/security thing.

He's messing with your mind...

Nothing new there.

.

I noticed this when he played in London, although he didn't seem to glance at it past the start of a song. Mainly he seemed to use it during the piano medley. At times he would idly leaf through it, then stop on a page and play whatever song he was on. Almost as if it was decided there and then and not in a rigid set list.

There didn't seem to be any music notation though, just lyrics.

Kewl! I noticed that Prince also used a book to play from one night during the celebration last year. I was seated in the front row. Whenever Prince was finished with the song, he would nod to his guitar technician. The technician would then come up and turn the page for him.

One time I was at a show at Paisley and for whatever reason he couldn't read the book on the floor so he had a person next to me in the front row hold it up for him

That is when the Paisley shows used to be truly cool.

Oh wow! Too bad Prince didn't ask you to hold his book for him. That would truly be a great memory.

Then you could turn the page to your favorite song. And leave it there all night.

He's got a whole lotta music and words to remember.

Did I sing, "Baby, right there!" or was that?

"Oooh, yesss, baby, right there!" ???

Did I just invert it or did I throw the 7th or 9th in there?

LOL

So true! I would make Prince play "Empty Room" over and over again. I love that song.
