If U can describe it... It ain't Funky!

Well... It sho 'nuff wasn't something we can describe. Prince brought the house down in Seattle at the Paramount Theatre & in Portland at the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall... OH & one mo' time at the Portland aftershow. 2 Nites Alone with Prince... & 2 Nites Seattle & Portland will never 4get.
The shows were layed back yet the nrg was high. There was a real personal feel 2 them. Prince made u dance, sing, think, re-think, analyze ur life, & how u view certain things. He touched on many subjects with quick wit, humor, & seriousness. He "preached", but in his own way. The way that Prince has always "preached" if thats what u choose 2 call it. He wanted 2 get his message across, & he did. "If U came 2 get Ur Purple Rain on, U in the wrong house 2nite!" ... "Betta' put on yo scuba gear 'cuz we 'bout 2 get deep y'all!" ... "If U ain't feelin' what I'm sayin 2 U, please leave now. U do not have 2 stay."

He came here with a few messages & he wasn't leaving until he made each one of them clear. And he did not leave here without touching the majority of us in some way. Whether he just made u a little funkier, made u realize that the music business isn't always fair & radio stations r kept from playing "Real Music by Real Musicians," or made U take a new perspective on a personal situation in Ur own life, about God, Love, "Harmony." He's a true musician who has the ability 2 draw crowds, bring them 2gether as ONE, "in harmony with eachother" & try 2 get them 2 realize that we need 2 keep that same harmony when we leave the show. How many of y'all have done that? Don't it feel nice 2 b around a group of people all with a common intrest in music, in Prince & his musicianship? We all meet up, don't know each others names when we get there but leave there with a countless number of new friends & have the time of Ur life when ur there even b4 Prince takes the stage.

Thank U 2 PRINCE & the New Power Generation (John Blackwell, Renato Neto, Rhonda Smith, Maceo Parker, Greg Boyer, & Candy Dulfer). 2 many things came out of One Nite Alone with Prince 2 mention here. But, THANK U! Come back soon & more often!

Late coming update on concert & ticket situations.
There have been a number of problems with ticket sales due 2 scalpers buying large quantities of tickets 4 the One Nite Alone 2002 Tour that should b available 2 the NPG Music Club Members during their presale. It seems scalpers were getting ahold of the best seats in the house even b4 the NPGMC members were able 2 & reselling these tickets 4 prices well above face value ($500-$600 ea. on up), even groups of seats 2gether were in the hamds of these scalpers.

Prince was informed of the problem by fams who have attended soundchecks at some recent shows who ended up with seats toward the back or balcony sections when they sould have been significantly closer being NPGMC members. Prince, being aware of the issue, has accommodated some fams 2 make up 4 the dissapointment because of the situation at hand. NPG has since gone back 2 will call in an attempt 2 put a stop 2 the scalping problem. However, scalpers r still able 2 get their hands on tickets that, again, should b available 2 NPGMC members during their pre-sale period.

A new formula 4 ticket sales 2 the NPGMC is going 2 b tried out Saturday, March 23, 2002, when the 2 ATL shows go on presale. We will c how this goes.

Also, note that the One Nite Alone 2002 Tour Schedule listed below was a TENTATIVE schedule only. I assume that because of the ticket problems at hand, NPG has decided 2 pull this schedule from the NPGMC websight. It is no longer up on the site anywhere, though they do tell us that any dates that r confirmed will b posted on the site. Until then, no information is known & they ask that u do not emale them asking about any dates, just keep checking the site 4 new confirmations as the tour moves on.
