A close friend of mine said something recently, that I want to share with you:
"Everyone should see Prince in concert at least once in their lives".
I was lucky enough to see the wee-man at the 02 arena last week, and I've gotta say that he completely bowled me over.
I always liked his music - but now i am a FAN.
I'm telling you, it was more a spiritual experience than an evening of entertainment! He made me laugh, he made me cry - he completely inspired me.
How can someone so small effect people on mass like that?? The 02 arena is massive, it's like a futuristic amphi-theatre. We were seated very high up, so standing up to dance was not for the feint-hearted. But I swear, when he played 'You've got the look' I pushed aside the vertigo and boogied my ass off!!!! It would have been physically impossible not to dance - a bit like sneezing with your eyes open.
So if you ever get the opportunity, please see PRN in concert. He's small, he's purple and he'll blow you away.
I've never seen him in concert, but I had the good fortune to be at an awards show last year where he was accepting. He came out with an acoustic guitar and sang a song called "Don't Download Me Baby" (Did I mention this was an awards show for internet nerds?)
ReplyDeleteThe entire room was totally rapt.
He really does have an amazing charisma - it's palpable.
