Friday night last week I was lucky enough to have tickets to the last night of Prince's 21 night residency in London at the former Millenium Dome. And did it rock! Or rather 'funked out'! When one of your brass players used to lead James Brown's band you know you're going to be feeling the funk :) Prince played hit after hit after hit (Prince: "London - I've got too many hits") and brought the roof down with Kiss, Purple Rain (18,000 people with purple glow sticks jumping up and down in a frenzy of excitement!) and Let's Go Crazy, a rendition of Freak Out and an incomparable version of Nothing Compares to You, as well as a medley of hit after hit after hit that left you wondering just how many hit songs has this man had! I danced so much I hurt that next day!! Four encores later I wended my way back home humming Cream, Beautiful Girl, When Doves Cry, 1999, with a fading glow stick peeking out of my bag. What a night! But god was I extra-exhausted for the next two days - Sophs still needed her night feeds!!
