Excellent point about NEWS, CNOTE, Xpectation, and hell even old
Madhouse... Prince has done his fair share of jazz/fusion/experimental
to hold up a strong instrumental set... I wonder if he is inspired by
his own music these days? I'm sure he's keeping ASCAP and BMI quite
busy in processing licenses for all the songs he's covering in his
shows these days.
<Moderator: Do you have to pay to cover a song in a show? Most of the time
he has rearranged it and doesn't even sing the right lyrics anyway.

I really enjoyed the intimacy of the aftershows and the food was great. I'm
a big jazz buff and the band was fantastic but I would rather hear Prince
sing more than he did. He played, and that was cool but there were very few
of his songs and the singing on his part was very minimal. I'm ok with the
jazz aspects and the long jams as long as he's playing his songs. What
happened 2 the NEWS, C-NOTE and Xpectation material? It's like he 4got he
recorded those things. Cuts from those albums r in heavy rotation on my
Ipod. I enjoy a cover or 2. "The Best of U" And "All Along The Watchtower"
were stellar, but don't get ridiculous. And I don't mind a protege but he
doesn't know when 2 stop shoving other people down our throats. And he does
shove. It's nice 2 see new faces and hear new voices but change it up. Don't
threaten us with the same person every night until that person makes us want
2 hurl rocks at them. I enjoyed seeing Kip Blackshire sing at the aftershow
when I was in Vegas. It was a refreshing treat. We tried 2 talk him into
doing a show in New York. I like the new girl singer (although that
Superbowl white 70's OUTfit and her frantic rain-dance sprinting had me
picking up rocks) But I like her because she can sing, but I don't want her
showcased heavily every night. Give her a song or two every other show and
I'm cool with that. I enjoyed Tamar but that doesn't mean I want another
Tamar featuring Prince show. That was OD. Hope he's not trying 2 put us
through that again.
