We had pretty good seats for the show last night...about row 13 or so. The performance was short but sweet! They only played for about 90 minutes, unusually short for the Man, but this wasn't his show. The night was all about Ta'Mar.
I had never seen Ta'Mar before, but this girl sure can sing and dance! She had some pretty cute twin sisters singing back up too, while Prince played guitar. Band included a kick-ass female drummer and guys on base and keyboards.
I snuck my camera in and attempted a couple of pics with the flash off before the camera police came to get me. Soooo not worth getting my camera taken away for crappy pics like this:
The funniest part about the show was when Ta'Mar called members of the audience to come up on stage to dance. One poor woman was trying to get up the stairs to the middle of th stage and her effin pants fell down. And they fell down to reveal a hairy booty!!!!!!! I felt so bad for her but it was soo funny at the same time. She laughed and continued to dance on stage with Prince!!
I heard rumors of an after-party down at Paisley Park afterward, but didn't want to drive so far away from where I live (complete opposite ends of the Twin Cities from each other) and have Prince not show up. I read on the NPG Music Club message boards this morning that the party was $25 and Prince never did show up last night.... Just as I expected.We have been down there several times before and only once did he actually play when I was there. He likes to keep his appearances mysterious. But it is worth the attempt in case you do get a private show with the man!
Oh, what a great time you must have had! Hubby will be so jealous when I tell him you got to see Prince! We both really like him....but he has been hubby's *favorite* artist of all time ever since he can remember. We always go to see him in concert whenever he comes here. Once I even went to the concert even though I was pregnant and very close to deliver DD!
