Prince will perform shows for the next several Friday and Saturday nights in the 3121 club at The Rio casino-hotel just off the Las Vegas Strip. The show Friday included an even mix of classics and new material, guitar solos, soulful ballads and funk. His racy hits, such as "Cream" and "Kiss," were a contrast to the tamer songs released since the star became a Jehovah's Witness. "You don't have to be dirty to be sexy," Prince advised the audience, before launching into a sweet love song. "Let me show you." The move to Las Vegas surprised fans who have dubbed the star _ now more than 20 years past his megahit album and movie "Purple Rain" _ a pop, funk and soul innovator. Las Vegas, a place once known for showcasing stars in the twilight of their careers, wasn't expected. But organizers and bandmates say the man who once changed his name to a soundless symbol is simply taking his own tack again. "I think he wants to bring a new element to Vegas; that's the whole point, to bring a new, fresh vibe," said Maya McClean, a Prince spokeswoman and half of the back-up group performing with the star, The Twinz. The shows are expected to run "a couple of months" before the group goes on tour, McLean said. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- NewPowerNewYork Mailing List website: Www.NPNY.Org ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe?
