His name is Prince

I don't know what to say...

I'd been waiting about 15 years to see Prince live in concert, and after all that anticipation, I have to say -- I was not disappointed. Prince is an amazing performer, an exciting guitar player, a great singer, and a brilliant musician. AND his band is also unbelievable -- totally flawless and totally funkalicious. There's a very good reason why the man is considered a legend and a genius -- and he demands that you recognize it in everything he does. Everything about the evening had Prince's style written all over it -- from the purple floodlights outside the stadium the turned All-State Arena into "Prince's House"; to the hour-and-a-half wait for him to come onstage; to the outrageous jams and re-arrangements of his tunes; to the gold-plated microphone and the purple acoustic guitar. I'll remember the smallest details of this show for a long, long time.
