Prince aint like he used to be.

I didn't go to the concert last night in Cincy, but I did go around back and listen at the back door of the venue. The sound came through good; so I did hear a few songs. I got lucky and when I arrived he was doing the acoustic stuff. It sounded pretty bland to me. Nothing earth shattering. Prince seems to go through the motions--no spontanious ideas, no nothing. The songs are clipped and forced. Maybe he was having a bad night. I wasn't that blown away.

I also saw a sad sight, a girl who had Cerabral Palsy, was waiting for Prince to autograph something, and they told her Prince didn't do that. Made me feel bad for her.
All you others say Hell Yea!! woot!

If he doesnt sign autographs, he doesnt sign autographs.He doesnt sign them for anyone so its not like he dogged that girl by signing one for someone else and not her!

But what really surprised me when I saw him was how old he looked! He looked good but damn it made me feel old!

Why would you bother to post a thread reviewing Prince's performance at a concert that you didn't attend? "From what I heard through the back door, Prince seemed to be just going through the motions." If that's not bizarre, I don't know what is.

Yeah..that is kind of odd to make negative comments about a concert they didn't actually see and only heard through a back door..... eek

Exceedingly odd, and totally unnecessary. I was at the show, along with 10,000 or so other people, and lemme tell you, the music was QUITE extraordinary. Sorry you don't feel the same way...but then again, I can't imagine that you would have any idea of how it actually sounded by standing at the back door! eek

I saw Prince at the first Los Angeles show. He is still Prince. Just the 2004 version. Time changes all of us. Get out of 1984. Appreciate this man while we still have him. Based on all the bland, non spontanious, clipped and forced music I hear on the radio today, lord help us if this man is ever silenced. As far as the girl with CP, Prince will be Prince. Gotta take the bitter with the sweet.

Gee, maybe the reason it sounded bland is because you were OUTSIDE of the arena, you can't just walk up on the last ten minutes of a show and judge it!!!! Do you know what kind of energy was in the place, what led up to the songs you were hearing....no you don't, why? Cause you were f#cking OUTSIDE!!!! What a stupid post....some people..... And then to top it all off, you have to drive P further into the ground by mentioning a sick girl who didn't get an autograph.....sick stuff dude. I think I know what really happened, you showed up at the show without tickets, thinking that you could get some at the last minute, which didn't happen. So you bitched and moaned about not being able to see him, then you kept getting angrier as the night went on, when you finally did get a chance to weasel your way in (OR TO A DOOR) you tried to make yourself feel better about missing a good show by hearing a bland sound.....Admit it dude, you screwed up by not getting tickets and missed a great show, it'll be o.k. lol

Prince doesn't play to the people on the other side of the wall, and he hasn't signed autographs in ages. What's the point of this thread?

I don't know what's more sad; the fact that your dumbass actually stood outside the the venue, probably looking homeless, trying to listen to the show, or the fact that you actually have the nerve to CRITIQUE IT AFTERWARDS!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA

that's some funny shit, man thanks, I needed that laugh lol

Whether you seen it or heard it, if it didn't blow you away, then it didn't. But the thing about the Cerebral Palsy girl, just because someone has a disability doesn't mean they should get all special privileges. He said he doesn't sign autographs and if he don't, he dont. Shit handicaps already got it made with close parking spaces and larger bathroom stalls. What the hell else do you need.

P.S. I went to Burger King today; didn't go in, just stood outside sniffing the wall... wasn't impressed with the quality of the food. wink

And then you realized it had not been a good idea to miss the concert in the hope of getting an autograph at the back entrance?
