I was there, it was about my 7th time seeing him live. I had complimentary tickets due to the canceled Blenheim Palace gig and was in the first 8 rows. What a show, this guy is a genius, the Mozart of our time. I saw him many times after this. Such a sad loss. Prince has been the soundtrack to my life. Rest in peace Purple Yoda.

Mozart and pop music are not compatible. Prince was very talented, though. Mozart was composing operas by the age of 5. It's an insane comparison.

@@princebootlegchannel absolutely! I think the love for Prince has also grown since he passed. His work has gotten so much more exposure, and the tributes have been so constant and consistent for the last 7 years. People that didn’t like him have now realized exactly what a talent he was. And the ones that didn’t know much about him, have gotten to see what a powerhouse performer and artist he was. It’s a shame Channels like this weren’t able to show the world what Prince was all about before he passed. But I am certainly thankful for what we’re able to see now!

I saw him on this tour ! It was my second time seeing him live. The best was yet to come when I managed to blag tickets for the O2 residency.

He recorded some great music, but on stage is where he truly came alive and you could see his full range of talents. Truly sensational artist.

Mayte's belly dancing in this concert is really pretty. Her talent at that kind of dancing really shows, and her ballet, too. Plus, this was the first tour she went on and she was really young--like 18 or so, I think. She does a really good job here, IMO.
