thanx

Mmmmmh, he picked up a couple of instruments! Can't wait to see this...

Love the first one with the bass...
He says: "Uh, Takumi, this thing's kinda big..."

A report by J7, lifted from NPGMC:

"Let me just get right into this because I am sure u don't want to read my jibber-jabber.



Last of the night after being there like over 4 hours. They talk up Prince. They show a video montage of Prince which includes backstage scenes of the Musicology tour. The place is ready 4 Prince. He comes out wearing a black n white number n the stage behind him was set up moments ago.

He gives thanks 2 Jehovah n thanks his presenters and the NAACP and says in a few words or more that instead of talking he rather show how much he appreciates the award, by doing what he does best n play. He asks the audience is it cool if he plays 4 a bit n they don't mind at all.

Prince is on stage with Sheila, Kat Dyson, Mr. Hayes, several horn players including Greg Boyer n a keyboardist I did not know. This is Sheila's band and they are TIGHT!!

It kicks off with D.M.S.R. with Prince on the Hohner guitar and as he flips round, on his outfit in the back it has the numbers 3121 (oh lawd), then goes into two covers I believe, one taken the lead by the unnamed keyboardist at the moment and then a lady with some pipes that belted out the jam. And then.....Prince...at his own keyboards....throwing down a BRAND NEW song. A ballad. Wait til u see the broadcast on friday.


I lose track round here but he did "Housequake" and the place went nuts. He went into the crowd during "Glamorous Life" and did a lil bit of the "Jam" and then poof.....u hear the sounds of the bird.....n here come Morris and Jerome, with mirror in hand and Prince gets on the boards n they r doing the "Bird". The crowd went nuts.

The roof was torn off the DCP. The place exploded. Mani had the biggest smile on her face. All of em doing the bird. In----sane! Prince then went into the Santana medley n Sheila went off! Tore up her equipment. Prince was playing guitar and continued to not only rip the rest of the roof off but Sheila and them tore that place down to it's foundation. After the dust settled, u see Prince walking off stage.

Prince said he wanted 2 show what this award meant to him, well, it must have meant a lot because he pulled it all out with what seemed like a 2 hour show rolled into a 10 minute set.

Now, I know after a performance like that, Prince cannot possibly be calling it a night. Something tells me 2night 3121 is the place 2 be and trust me, if I was there, I might never wanna leave. "

wow. awesome!

Who was on the Drums? John, Cara or someone else?

awesome. just great!!

He looks GREAT!! Very relaxed!

I can't wait to see it!

Thanks for the pics!

why is it that there's NOTHING like reading about a new Prince song?

it always manages to get you searching the net for another fibre of

information. can't wait for new material now.

When and where are they airing that thing?

March 25th on Fox.

... and March 26th on Housequake, I guess.

Well, I'm glad he's showing up in public and basking in the limelight, but also showing people why why all eyes are on him. Good going!

I just hope hope hope hope that these performances are on the heels of a great new studio album.

Cool thanks for the report. Now let's just hope they don't edit these 10 mins down to 5. I'll be really pissed if they do. What day does this air again?

I almost wished I wore panties or something, so I'd have somethign to throw on stage to him--he's just that friggen hawt.

That the new record's lyrics all cut and pasted in a Burroughs style-mashup on his Ol Johanna? Kewl. Pretty obvious the album's called 3121 - that I don't like.

you KNOW they're going to edit this down and keep something irrelevent (to prince fans at least)in... but... you never know...

Scrapluv said:

Why'd you have to burst my bubble so early on?

I swear I'm going to throw something at my tv if they edit this but keep some other crap like Usher performing. At least the other two special awards are for Barack Obama and Oprah Winfrey or "Ophree" as I like to call her.

Ifsixwuz9 said:

See I don't think they're going to edit it because Prince is the recipient of a very prestigious award, the vanguard award, so it would be tacky to edit it...at least that's my wishful thinking

Umph, such finess!!! Can't wait to Friday!!

I don't think that they will edit it 1 bit. 1st of were talking about Prince, and 2nd were talking about ratings. This brother tore the house down and fox will not tarnish the show.

Congratulations Prince and The NPG!

Great pictures!

Peace
