prince

loool

it does sound like he doesnt know the song that well. as though he doesnt know how we wants to play it yet. its okay, though i could have done with a bit less of the synths throughout - it softens it unnecessarily.

can't really tell if he's misremembering the lyrics or correcting them

new album

not getting my hopes up

did Joshua Welton work on it? i hated the sound of Art Official Age and the first Hit N Run album so much.

im guessing so. it's called hit n run 2. i hated the first hit n run already so dont think i will bother with this.

now this i would love to hear. solo piano 'Dirty Mind'!

Was it just one big medley? Because that is the kind of BS he has pulled the last two times I saw him.

cool setlist would love to hear a piano only "breakdown"

Update – Tuesday, February 9th at 3:05 p.m. CT: Prince has denied his interest in doing a Hendrix covers set.

this is his passport picture acc to his twitter

tickets to his solo voice & piano tour here sold out in 10 minutes at $397 ea.

Hair looks 'frotoshopped to me.

man he was good live last week in oakland.

also, having finally, after all of these years, listened to "Come", I kind of can't believe this isn't widely considered one of Prince's very best albums.

oh man i had a prince week. went to the paramount show and the after show at great american that ended at 4am. holy shit still coming down.

was at oracle. so good.

XP Come is great and arguably ripe for a reappraisal. His mid- to late-90s work, so brilliantly captured on The Dawn bootleg, remains my favourite period.

Me too on the love for that album, it's drastically underrated

The Dawn bootleg... sounds interesting! Do I sign up for a Prince forum or is it available elsewhere?

W1ll@rd's W0rmh0les has it

thanks!

i can't figure out how to download anything from that site.

The site owner puts a link in the comments to each post which leads to a page where the download links reside.

Also, keep an eye on the Son Of Readers Links page where people post scads of stuff, e.g. a dude working his way through what seems to be the entire NWW List,,,

I'm always torn when people say how awesome Prince was on such and such night, because the last three times I saw him he was insufferable. Didn't play guitar, ceded vox to his backup singers, played his hits in weird rhythm box driven medleys, had a huge horn section that did nothing. I've also seen him be incredible, just not recently.

ok yeah finally got ahold of the dawn and it's a great distillation of all of that stuff. really puts everything into an interesting context that flows very well. his output is so confusing and jumbled although it's fine to just throw that shit on and listen I suppose.

sooooooooooooo happy to see some love itt for Come. easily my favorite of his '90s albums.

just now getting around to the dawn. what a miraculous fan-edit of that whole period

Am I missing it or did this somehow not get mentioned?

I hope he sticks with the working title.

What, "Coming"? Same

“He’s a good critic,” Prince said. “That’s what I need. He’s not a yes man at all.”

Lolz...this is Prince we are talking about

i hope he's okay

yes

he's tweeting smiley faces as of a half hour ago so ... i don't know what that means, but it can't be too serious?
