>>During his current 21-night stand at the L.A. Forum, Prince
>>has had an array of guests, from Alicia Keys to Gwen
>Stefani.
>>But on Friday night, during an epic two-hour-and-45 minute
>>performance, the Purple One raised the bar by bringing out
>>living legend Stevie Wonder for a rendition of
>>'Superstition.'
>>
>>Opening act Janelle Monae hinted something might be up when
>>she dedicated the Charlie Chaplin-penned 'Smile' to "Our
>>friend, Stevie Wonder." And early in his set Prince called
>out
>>"love and respect to Stevie Wonder." After the show was
>>seemingly over following a glorious 'Purple Rain,' Prince's
>>stellar band came back out and kicked into 'Superstition,'
>to
>>be followed moments later by Prince rising from underneath
>the
>>stage holding Wonder by the arm. It wasn't a total surprise
>>but that didn't keep the place from going justifiably crazy
>at
>>the sight of Wonder playing his harmonica while facing
>Prince,
>>who rocked out on his guitar.
>>
>>Energized by sharing the stage with one of his musical
>heroes,
>>Prince then led the crowd in singing, "Oh, Stevie Wonder,"
>as
>>Wonder's smiling face absorbed the love. To reiterate the
>>greatness of what had just occurred, Prince reminded
>>everybody, "You've just seen Stevie Wonder."
>>
>>Coming after a hits-laden set that ranged from 'Let's Go
>>Crazy' to 'Cream,' 'Rasberry Beret' and a duet with Monae on
>>'Take Me With U,' the guest appearance of Wonder and
>>subsequent onstage dance party was more than enough of a
>show.
>>But still, Prince wasn't done. At nearly 1AM, he said, "I
>>can't go home" -- and he wasn't kidding.
>>
>>Musically, Prince and his gifted band are always going to
>>deliver. He remains the peak of musicianship, a hybrid of
>>decades of pop music who incorporates everyone from James
>>Brown and Little Richard to Elvis Presley and Jimi Hendrix.
>>But on Friday, Prince was also feeling particularly playful,
>>and when the showmanship matches the music he is almost
>>without peer.
>>
>>During the fourth or fifth encore -- we honestly lost count
>--
>>he quipped, "I've got too many hits." And then before the
>1989
>>ballad 'Scandalous,' Prince warned the audience, "Oh, we
>can't
>>do this. Do you know what's gonna happen if we do this?" The
>>place would once again erupt, as they had all night long.
