I put this up on HQ and wanted to post here too...
All the reports are great. I was at the aftershow. Anything happen after
NPS? I took all the songs down on the my iphone but see setlists already up.
Some random notes...
Prince came out wearing black pants and a white sweater with a long white
scarf. Started with glasses but took them off early. For the second half -
black pants and orange blouse-like shirt with a big necklace - might be the
same one from the first show.
It was very organized for a prince aftershow. I was worried as it was my gfs
first show and I didn't want her to have a bad experience. We got there at
11. Took a little bit of time to check our name and get a wristband (no
tickets :(
Waited in line - got to chat with Z for a bit.
We got let into the hotel at 12:25 or so.
Up the elevator. Out into the bar.
This was the only bad queue - waiting by the bar crushed a little to get
through one door into the small room with the stage. Only about 15 mins
though.
Room was packed but breathable.
Completely agree with Z about the setlist vs actually being there. It was an
amazing show., Probably the best aftershow I've been to. Did go to irving
plaza a few years ago with Larry and Chaka that was great and didn't go to
the World one during ONA so that one might have been better. The covers were
all great - many I haven't heard at all and many I haven't heard prince do
live. He did a good amount of his own songs - Purple Rain seemed a little
out of place with such a rock and then r&b show but he seems to have to do
it for folks. 3 hours of prince is amazing. And hearing him do Shhh (one of
my favs) and then the time/Sheila songs were awesome. That was a highlight
for me - hearing prince cover a prince band and do the bird and jungle love.
He was in a great mood - maybe best I've ever seen, jamming, dancing, funk
face, funny faces, interacting with the crowd.
thanks
