"Prince called into �Lopez Tonight� during the taping of the show earlier today to announce he will be appearing on the show next week and will be performing 21 nights in Los Angeles at The Forum. This is the info we were told.

George Lopez tweeted this earlier: You must watch tonight, TBS @ Midnight � Royalty calls with big announcement!

So, 21 nights�in Los Angeles? At The Forum? Wowsa! Wonder how the shows will be spread around.

We hear the first show will be next week.

More info as it becomes available�.-Dr.FB

thats a little much

It looks like he will have quite a few smaller venues in there. 1000 to 2000 seat venues most likely. He could definitely sell those out.

I don't know if any living artist could sell out 21 shows at a 15,000 seat venue all in the same city right now.

I mean he's done it once in London already and LA is a destination city... I hear what you're saying but he could come damn close if the price was right.

21 nights in LA is not out of the question at all.

>come damn close if the price was right.

And it's not going to be all at the forum which is good IMO. I saw him at Staples the last time he was here and at the Kodak the time before but the best Prince shows I've seen are the smaller venue ones. I went when he had his residency in Vegas. 3 hours in a club venue was a once in a lifetime experience.

he played the riff from the extended version of Let's Go Crazy (also Drive Me Wild 12") at one of the shows I saw a few weeks ago. Something I *never* heard him do before.

_______________
Good...I'm glad

might be close to 10 years ago now... any way in it I said Prince's music was suffering because he was trying too hard to stay away from sounding like himself. Thing is now he might be trying too hard to go back on his records but in concert it's just what the people want.

PRINCE WELCOME 2 AMERICA LIVE: http://promo.livenation.com/prince/

PRINCE ANNOUNCES WELCOME 2 AMERICA LIVE �21 NITE STAND� IN LOS ANGELES

Tour Includes $25 �All In� Tickets


�He had the crowd panting as soon as he hit the stage� It was unbelievably great. Do you go to a Prince show for predictable consistency? Ah, no. You go for moments of divinely inspired madness � and last night, he delivered as many of those as a fan could expect.�

Rolling Stone, December 16, 2010



LOS ANGELES, CA (April 11, 2011) � Prince, one of the most prolific and groundbreaking artists of our time whose recorded music, live performances and powerful artistry have affected music and pop culture like no other, has declared a string of purple days in Los Angeles. He will bring his extraordinary Welcome 2 America Live tour back to the West Coast with the announcement of a �21 nite stand� in Los Angeles. The Live Nation produced tour arrives on April 14th, 21st and 22nd at the world famous Los Angeles Forum. Tickets for this once in a lifetime event go on sale Tuesday, April 12th at 10am PT at Ticketmaster.com and LiveNation.com. Additional dates to be announced soon.



Prince kicked off the Welcome 2 America Live tour in New York with a celebrated six night stand in the New York area which received tremendous acclaim by fans and critics every night. Prince followed up with three intimate nights in Oakland and six special nights in the Carolinas where he performed many of his fan favorite mega-hits which had fans in every market screaming and dancing for more.



In an effort to make the show affordable for all of his fans, Prince has declared that roughly 85% of all tickets will be available at $25, inclusive of all service fees. Prince has taken a different approach with his concerts, announcing shows a matter of days before they happen, but the fans have come out in full force and shown their support. The first 2 Madison Square Garden shows sold out in 30 minutes and over 45,000 tickets were sold in the first 3 days for the string of Oakland shows.



Every show is unique and a night to remember. Special guests for the Los Angeles performances are expected to be announced shortly but for his previous shows Prince has been joined by the likes of Esperanza Spalding, Maceo Parker, Graham Central Station, Santana, Cee Lo Green, Cassandra Wilson, and Sheila E, so many surprises should be expected.



Much like the man himself, the reviews for Welcome 2 America Live have been over the top. �He looks great in heels, in glitter, in silk, in gold, in black, in purple. His voice can go high, it can go low. He can dance on top of a grand piano and not look stupid. He turns restless leg syndrome into an asset. His New Power Generation band is electric, his three backup singers are eclectic, and he is savvy when it comes to choosing openers.� says the Charlotte Observer. The New York Daily News raved, �Prince is worthy of all royal accolades�The hit-friendly show had a kinetic confidence and racing pace that spoke of his singular place in pop history,� while the New York Times said �It�s easy to envision Prince as another Chuck Berry or James Brown, barnstorming for decades to come.� The San Francisco Chronicle raved �spinning, strutting and swaying in his towering heels as if no time had passed since the days he dominated MTV with his angular suits and perfectly sculpted hair� neither his fantastic voice nor his dynamic legs showing any signs of slowing down.�

Citi� is the official credit card of the Welcome 2 America Live tour. Citi� cardmembers will also have access to preferred seats through Citi's Private Pass� Program. For complete details visit www.citiprivatepass.com.



Prince Welcome 2 America Live �21 Nite Stand� Los Angeles Dates:

Thursday, April 14th The Forum - Los Angeles On Sale: 4/12 at 10am

Thursday, April 21st The Forum - Los Angeles On Sale: 4/12 at 10am

Friday, April 22nd The Forum - Los Angeles On Sale: 4/12 at 10am



Additional dates to be announced soon.

two loge seats for $50?!?!

This is crazy.

Shitty seats, not the night I wanted but who cares.

50 bucks to take me & the girl to a P show at the Forum is unreal.

me and the wifey at the Forum for Prince..

nice...very nice...

>me and the wifey at the Forum for Prince..
>
>nice...very nice...

had to roll with 32 at the Forum...lol.

>had to roll with 32 at the Forum...lol.

I'm trying to think of whether to try to flip my Thursdays for that because I would rather go on a weekend night & be in good seats, then again that $310 difference between her pair and mine in hand 'gives one pause'.

I would have normally gone for the colonade but I got to make up to my wife for the fact that we haven't had a honeymoon.....

so I got Sade tix (I don't even want to tell you how much those suckers were..lol) Now Prince.... and I'm in the clear..lol.

oh well, Colonade 30 Row 9 it is.

I might have to see about whether we can move down once we're in there, I can already imagine what's gonna be going through my girl's head as we head up to the top of that joint but I'm gonna let her know we're in nosebleeds beforehand.

lol, nice.

plus the stage is in the middle of the arena..

i used to think nosebleed at the forum was high up there..but Staples gave it an entirely new meaning.

me feel better (then again she's a Forum vet who grew up in Inglewood with access through her pop so she does know the place up & down).

Staples nosebleeds (and their concert sound in general) I'm not even sure I'd bother, I hate that places for shows anyway. It's where sound goes to die.

The Forum I'm hoping will be kinda like the old Spectrum in Philly, that kind of old-school arena where everything feels fairly close & holds sound well.

Fuck it, $50 for two P tickets & no service charges. That's crazy & I feel silly having pangs of regret.

When I woke up this AM I had no tickets at all.

http://www.ticketstime.com/ResultsTicket.aspx?evtid=1605701&event=Prince

Yes. We are lucky. Me, my 50-something year old auntie, my homies and her 50-something year old homies are going to boogie.

Got tickets for me and my keyboard player, gonna feel like my pops back in the 80s seeing Prince at the Forum (I think the last concert my dad might have been to was the Jacksons tour back in the Forum or something like that). The reviews for it have been ridiculous I can't fucking wait.

it's my first time seein' him though
did he perform like this in his younger days?

...a child is born with no state of mind, blind to the ways of mankind, god is smilin' on you and frownin' too, because only god knows what you gonna do...�melle mel

  

I didn't have any great expectations of this being the rawest shit I've ever seen. Dude is older now and has a pile of money and out to please a bunch of fans.

I'm too young to have compared this to his 80s prime.

So he came out, did a bit of all the hits, gave us a big flashy stage, and gave Sheila E. a big drum solo. Then he masturbated on guitar. And he worked up a bit (a lot) of nostalgia being in that dusty ass Forum.

But really? It's Prince. I've loved that dude since I was a young buck driving around with my pop's old cassette tapes in my beat up car in high school. For $25, he could have come out on the Lakers old hardwood floor and played basketball for 2 hours and I'd been OK with it.

Prince destroyed it.

I went to the Thursday 21 April show at the Forum. It was my fourth time in the last few years to see Prince and each time he has been brilliant. This has included two shows at the 02 arena in London and then the Saturday night headliner spot at Coachella.

I think this was my favourite show, also helped by me having a great seat.

Prince is the musical master, no-one should be able to dance like him at 53 years old, the man has moves. And the best guitarist currently alive, anyone want to argue with that?

He wasn't getting the sound he wanted for Little Red Corvette (one of my all time faves) so on the fly he got the audience to participate getting call and response from the male/female crowd. It was awesome.

The man has so many hits, its kind of fun that he'll play one of his best known tracks for 30 seconds but c'mon playing the track in full would be so much better. I don't mind if we are there for five hours! Oh an Sheila E, wow on every level.

Pretty cool advert, and of course those fans - LOL

Sheila was there but she only came on stage to dance with Cuba Gooding Jr.

It was a solid show...Alicia Keys came out and sang and duet with prince...

but we sure didn't get the song list...and the length of a show that others were talking about prior to Friday..

we did get Mint Condition as an opening act....and they rocked it... one of the nights highlights for me was Mint doing Sometimes off of definition of band album.... probably my favorite non-ballad Mint song, and I've never seen or heard them do it live..

but overall... wished Prince had given us the show others got earlier in the week.

I really wanted to go to this show after hearing that MC was opening but I had just gone to last week's show and I want to save up some $$ for some of the club dates.

in reaction to him being on until 1:30 the night before.

I think that's why he started last night a bit earlier than he has been (right after 9 rather than 9:30) but luckily he still rocked that stage for close to three hours for us last night with a Chaka 'Sweet Thing' collab & a healthy dose of Sheila both assisting on songs along with Glamorous Life early & Love Bizarre to open the last encore.

his ass was out of there at 12 15 on thursday

...a child is born with no state of mind, blind to the ways of mankind, god is smilin' on you and frownin' too, because only god knows what you gonna do...�melle mel

  

It was a great show, but compared to what I've been hearing and how long the shows have been? Yeah its not fair. I might try to go to the very last show just to make up.

Shit was over in less than two hours, but there were no openers so it went by FAST.

Caught the show at The Forum last night, P killed it.

- Chaka Khan opened for him
- Sheila E..
- Larry Graham

just sick!

He played until midnight and pretty much hit every song, at one point during the 3rd encore even told the crowd "I'm outta hits!!" (he did not do Thieves in the Temple)

I'm still stunned. I saw the Musicology Tour at Staples years ago and liked this show even better, although Maceo was his horn player back then, which was also dope.

I talked to a few people that caught that Staples run for that tour, all of them said this was far better. I think part of it is the venue itself, the Forum is just a much better place to see a show than Staples.
