Booche 235 Report post Posted April 21, 2016 My brother was a diehard for all the years, especially when he was the only person talking about Prince. If it wasn't for his persistence I never would have changed my uninformed and stupid opinion of his music that somehow developed in the late 80's. I never would have experienced one of the best shows I have seen of too many concerts and I certainly wouldn't have realized that Prince had obtained musical perfection. I cant thank you enough Mike.

bouche 103 Report post Posted April 21, 2016 Today is what it sounds like when doves cry. I received texts about this during a meeting this aft and was in total disbelief until I got back to my desk and saw it all over the internet. Then came shock. My first prince concert was in Toronto at the Maple Leaf Gardens: http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/prince/1988/maple-leaf-gardens-toronto-on-canada-73d856a1.html I didn't know that I'd already seen my last Prince concert in Montreal: http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/prince/2011/metropolis-montreal-qc-canada-1bd379f4.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Booche 235 Report post Posted April 21, 2016 That's because you hadnt. Your last Prince show was in Ottawa a few months later. http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/prince/2011/scotiabank-place-ottawa-on-canada-33d130b5.html 1 bouche reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was in the same boat. I hated Prince in the mid-80s. Mostly because I listened to Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Ozzy, etc. pretty much exclusively back in those days. Pop and R&B music was not on my radar, in fact I detested most of it. I never saw the movie "Purple Rain". But about 10 years later I listened to "Purple Rain" and paid close attention to the guitar solo. I was sold! Later on, the cover band I was in played Dec. 31st 1999 New Year's eve party at a bar, of course we played "1999". I started liking his tunes a lot more and really appreciated the song-writing and musicianship, but apparently not enough to buy a ticket for a Prince show, which now I regret.

bouche 103 Report post Posted April 24, 2016 This video was actually interesting because it shows musical connections between songs like Manic Monday / 1999, Nothing Compares 2 U / Purple Rain by repurposing hooks and chord progressions. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DevO 27 Report post Posted April 29, 2016 RIP. I love the NY Times article floating around about Prince performing with Tom Petty at the R&R Hall of Fame for George Harrison's induction in 2004. Also just read this reflection from Trey: http://www.jambase.com/article/trey-anastasio-talks-night-phish-partied-prince Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
