I've seen that before and you're right.  It's especially effective because you know a lot of people would see the names there and think 'oh yawn, Prince - pop guy they dragged in just because he's a b

I'm not even a fan of the old blokes in the clip and I thought it was a ridiculous post, bringing his skin colour into it was ridiculous, the fact you seem to think that people believe Tom Petty or Je

Devastated.

 

I was hoping he'd be over in a couple of months on his rescheduled piano tour, can't believe I won't be seeing him again.

 

I was lucky to see him many times. A few highlights...

 

Despite his so called refusal to play his 'pure filth' songs in his later years, I once saw him drop the intro to Darling Nikki. He had that glint in his eye and doing that Prince smile. He knew.

 

Another time he opened with Purple Rain, which was nuts in-itself. He then followed it with Girls and Boys, which is my all time fav Prince song. He could have stopped the show there and then and id have been happy.

 

The last time I saw him was with his all girl band. He played the loudest heaviest rock concert imaginable. It was incredible. Opened with Let's Go Crazy and it was HEAVY. He commented deadpan, 'we've been learning to play the guitar'. I'm into the hard rock metal stuff, and make no exaggeration by saying it was the loudest heaviest version of a song I've ever heard.

 

He's famous for reappearing and doing an encore ages after the 'main show' has finished. These encores could range from a couple of songs to another full show. One time we hung around and went to the front of the stage and waited for ages. He came out. Played Raspberry Beret a matter of centimetres in front of us. To what must have been a handful of people. Unreal. Possibly my favourite ever concert moment. In fact, maybe life moment.

 

I absolutely love him.

 

Best I ever. By some distance.

His 80's period was absolutely incredible. From 1999 to Lovesexy he couldn't put a foot wrong. Bought all of those on vinyl. 

 

Then he brought out the Batman soundtrack and Graffiti Bridge and i bought those on CD and they both washed over me.

 

I blame compact disc for the quality of Prince's music decreasing.
