Did any Urbs go see Prince at his recent London gigs?

Anyone who charges 70 quid for a gig ticket is a cunt. But then I'd not go and see Prince for free. My nan has more tunes and she's dead.

This is just daft. Are you 15 or something? And having seen him live seven times, he is worth every penny and more. As far as global superstars go, Prince charges very little (his tickets for his O2 gigs were just £31.21 each) and prices never hover over about €100. He is the best performer in the world, who is massively generous to his fans. You get a live jazz, funk, rock, pop, acoustic, piano and light show for about 3 hours for your money, never mind the electrifying atmosphere that charges every gig. And no one thinks those prices are crazy, apart from you.:p

Bump because I just heard from a roadie mate that when setting up a Prince gig he and the rest of the crew were forbidden from even making eye contact with everyone's favourite yelping miniature cocaine disposal unit. Telling people they're not even allowed to look at you certainly seems to confirm my 'cunt' hypothesis.

if youve got half an hour to spend listening to Prince yarns this is very entertaining - Kevin Smith on working for Prince - says a lot about whats going on in 'Prince World'

(thats part 1, you need to keep looking for part 2, 3 etc)

Most beautiful girl in the world introduced me to the idea of having TWO vocal tracks going ALMOST ONE AFTER THE OTHER.

Was dead impressed by that. It was the same time I learned about sampling and synthesizers tho, so it was a year of discovery on many levels

He is a strange little man and the confluence of overt creepy sexual imagery vs jehovah's witness is too wierd. The guy is too removed from reality for me to really get into and too self obsessed and image consciousness to boot. I wish his music had a bit more depth as he obvious is talented. I certainly don't think he's the maestro everyone makes him out to be.
 
i saw him at manchester academy a few months ago with about 2,500 other people. never knowingly owned any prince music and could probably only name about half a dozen songs but he played for two and a half hours and he was brilliant.
