"I may be a Prince, but I'm not The King."

We saw Prince tonight.

Wow!

Dance, trance, R&B, Jazz, Blues, Rock, Head Banging Power Guitar, even a little Rock-a-Billy. He started "Jail House Rock", then stopped with the above quote.

Little Red Corvette as acoustic guitar solo. He stopped singing at one point, then stared at the audience "There's no lip sync at this concerts. This is your part. Lets try that again" So the whole crowd was singing LRC. {grin}

He started an hour late, but music ran continuously for 2 1/2 hours. Prince took breaks, but the band did solos and he did the above solo acoustic set while the band took a break.

Saw him yesterday...

and his concerts show exactly why he's in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. It was great! He'll be back in San Jose in September and if you're a fan you shouldn't miss this tour. This may be the last time he does his old stuff. :(

Yep, 10am Friday, Club tix go on sale.

We missed (stupid, stupid, stupid) the club sale for this show. Folks down front looked like they were having a blast.

Ooh, you must've had a great time!

I saw him at the LA Coliseum in 1985. He set some records for volume level and my ears rang for days. It was a blast. I must go in September.
