Actually the I think both (please correct me) are from Sheila's Crew. I know the guy with the trumptet was definitely at her Birthday party at the Roxy a couple of years ago blowing his a** off. And the trombone player looked familiar from the same crew.

No stage/raised platform. Seemed like about 125 members in the NPG line (def no more than 150 in the joint). Celebs in attendance included Nas, Kelis, Jay Z, Beyonce, P. Diddy, Paris Hilton, Lindsey Lohan, Stephen Hill (BET Dir of Programming), ?uestlove. Let me say this tho, Prince & co. had to see that were it NOT for the NPG Members who were there, the party would have been DEAD. With few exceptions the celebs spent their time text message each other and their friends, talking, and just basking in the "status" of being a VIP at a private exclusive Prince party. :roll: The only energy from the audience was brought by the NPGMC members!! Here's the set list as I remember it. Peach Te Amo Corazon Forever In My Life Everyday People (Sly & Family Stone cover) The Ride Never Loved A Man (Aretha Franklin cover / Tamar on vox) Love Changes (Mel'isa Morgan & Kashif cover / Tamar on vox) Break the Chains (new song?) Come Together (Beatles cover / Tamar & Prince on vox) When A Man Loves A Woman (Percy Sledge cover / Tamar on vox) Red Headed Stepchild (Tamar) Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin) (Sly & Family Stone cover / Tamar & Prince on vox) Play That Funky Music (White Boy) (Wild Cherry cover / BET Director of Programming Stephen Hill guest on vox) Partyman 3121 Lolita Satisfied Black Sweat (Prince on keys & vox) Kiss Joy in Repetition (with Tamar song? interpolated) Anotherloverholenyohead If I Was Your Girlfriend Ecstacy (Barry White cover) jam with Be Happy, The Bird (Mary J. Blige cover / Tamar & Prince on vox, ?uestlove on drums) Some notes: Personnel: Prince, Tamar, Morris, Josh, Cora, Ray (trumpet), Greg (trumbone), ?uestlove (guest on drums), Stephen Hill (guest on vox). There were some "undertaker" moments where Prince just went CRAZY with the guitar. All the songs were performed in their entirety, or event in extended jams. The 3121 material sounds AMAZING live. Prince's reinvention of some of the classics--esp Anotherlover... is a guitar playing frenzy--it's almost heavy metal what he was doing to that song. He was in a very playful mood, the sound / acoustics were amazing, his vocals were in tip top shape (some of his best vocal work in terms of range, sustain, and timbre, in a long time), he even danced around a bit. Because there was no stage or raised platform, this was truly a LISTENING experience more than a visual one, and it was a great show. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- NewPowerNewYork Mailing List website: Www.NPNY.Org ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe?
