Just got back in from a loooong night in NYC. I got to Bryant Park about
10:30pm last night and was the twelfth person in the non-VIP line. By the
time
they opened this morning (7ish) there were 30 people in front of me. Seems
everyone was holding spaces for 2 or 3 friends. Oh well - no biggie. They
let
us in and I wound up 5 feet from the rail and about 15 feet from the stage
so
it's all good. Met a nice couple Kelvin and Paula who couldnt keep their
hands
off of each other all night. Young love! Also met Alex from Boston and
Rosalie from LI. Cool peeps. Thanks for making the night go so quick.
Prince did 3 songs. Started with Get On the Boat so my morning was made
right there since it's my favorite track off 3121. After a commercial break
they
did Tamar's Red Headed Step Child. They're not gonna sell alot of CDs with
that peformance! After another commercial break they did a truncated
version of
Lets Go Crazy. Just the chant and then a cool guitar solo. At the end
Prince knocked the microphone stand clear off the stage as if to say "call
out all
you want - I ain't doing another song."
All in all the sound system sucked, Prince seemed tired and way not into it
but like I said, Get on the Boat made it all worth while. Plus my sister
called to say she saw me on TV a coupla times so I guess the camera couldnt
avoid
my fat head. Prince for free? I'll take it!
If you are going to Butter tonight have a great time!
Mike
