People, People.....Prince did NOT wear a suit and tie when performing at the concert I was at. Maybe he got mixed up with Prince's Sunday attire, yet talked about Saturday's concert in his review. He wore a long sleeved shirt the whole time. I think two different kinds, but no suit that night. Other than that, the review was one of the best I've ever read, and just shows how Alan can word things so wonderfully. Just like the liner notes in Hits/B-Sides. Uncanny ability to get across exactly what he wants to say.
loveGod, lovelife, lovesexy....T-O-DoubleD


i think he went to both shows because he mentioned the jb's song, "pass the peas". he did pass the peas on sunday and wore a suit.

Alan Leeds used to be Prince's tour manager (I think) and he introduced his brother Eric to Prince.

He now manages ?uestlove and the dude whose band he is in (sorry can't remember the name for life of me?).

Alan was a bit pissed at Prince for inviting ?uestlove to Paisley Park last year for a jam only to spend a few hours lecturing them on the music business.

Obviously Alan does not hold a grudge


Yes he was Prince's tour manager, you can read his liner notes in Hits/The B-Sides.

?uestlove is a founding member of The Roots but you're thinking of D'Angelo for whom ?uest drummed on Voodoo tour.

D'Angelo, Prince, James Brown, Bootsy Collins, George Clinton, Chris Rock are some of the acts Alan Leeds has toured with.

That was an excellent review and I can't wait to get my tickets for the show when it hits NYC. It's gonna be on.
I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that

Alan Leeds also worked with Kiss.

Alan Leeds is perhaps the most talented, down to earth, tell it like it is person that has ever worked for Prince.

And take his word, if Prince's tour impressed Alan, then it will definately impress you.

Alan is very very very crtical of Prince.

Like Muhammad Ali’s triumph over George Foreman to dramatically recapture his championship, Prince’s return to the musical forefront is both a surprise and a cause for celebration.
Nearly twenty years after his ground-breaking tours, there is STILL no one else like him. No one whose musical and performing gifts cover as much ground. There’s never been anything wrong with his singularly exciting brand of showmanship and surely even his most outlandish efforts in those areas deserve as many props as his songs. BUT it’s no less than thrilling that he finally respects his musical gifts enough to allow them to stand on their own merit.
With “real music” already making a comeback in the hands of those influenced by Prince, he has once again raised the bar. For a fan it was breath-taking to witness. And for those who never Prince fans, it’s an opportunity to finally understand what all the commotion has long been about. The tour is no less than a rare opportunity to see a genius at his best. The King is back! "



OH YEAH BABY!!!!!
BUT REALLY Y'ALL HE AIN"T NEVER LEFT>
CELEBRATION 2002 here we come.

DiAngelo!!! That was really bugging me - thanks.
'I loved him then, I love him now and will love him eternally. He's with our son now.' Mayte 21st April 2016 = the saddest quote I have ever read! RIP Prince and thanks for everything.

I don't know how many times I have said this, but I definitely want to see this show!
If only there was a way for us to make Prince know how much we want him to take this gig to other parts of the world, too...
maybe we should all e-mail NPGMC and annoy the hell out of them until they tell him!

ahhh essence..now you are not one of those d'angelo is better than prince people are you?

just for clarification..alan leeds was the road manager for the voodoo tour..he was also the road manager for maxwell during the urban hang suite show..

and on the meeting of prince with quest and d..if you are supposed to be a fan of prince and a 'musician'..you should be able to play anything and follow anything..did they do that? no..they just wanted to play what they wanted..p was teaching them young cats a lesson...and they got upset...he should invite them onstage for this tour..he he hehee!!!!
