Talking to my manager last night and he said he'd seen Prince on his stint at the O2 in 2007(?). He said the Purple Rain solo must've lasted 20 minutes or so and it's one of the best things he's ever seenHe had tickets to some afterparty with another band. Prince pops up and pretty much kicks the band off and plays until 4/5am, he said that performance was as good if not better than the O2 set

What nights did he go? I managed to talk my way into press passes for the 1st, 10th and 21st nights. The rendition of Purple Rain on the 1st night might be the greatest performance I've ever seen of any song. There were maybe 3 encores that night. The crowd thinned out a bunch and he came back in, hidden in a flight case and played a solo set. Common opened for him on the 10th night. I ended up sitting next to Corinne Bailey Rae and her sister that night - both mad cool. The last night was just. I met Steve McLaaren. He's as bland in person as he was as England manager.
Speaking of which - any brehs got any the Eye Records joints? I've been searching like a madman for 'Down By The River Thames', but so far no dice.
