Prince

Cologne

45 minute late start and the fans were restless. It began with a bombastic noise piece and then Prince disappeared for almost an hour (technical problems?).
He came back to do Purple Rain, Kiss and 1999 and some more of his hits. Have to admit that these were done excellently, especially his dance in Kiss.
The rest of the “concert” consisted of sound check music that was so loud that I had to put a wadded up ticket in my ears. Most of the 10,000 fans left the stadium in disbelieve...
I had to have a Koelsch beer at the hotel afterwards to recover!

Cool shot, looks like a spaceship landing. Maybe the aliens took Prince for a bit. V
Colin Storey30-Jul-2011 20:04
Well, to see the bit that lasted that is.

Awesome image!!! BV
I remember being terribly disappointed at Jimmy Buffet concert because he came out an hour late and sang for a very, very short time. No longer a fan of his....
Jeff Real30-Jul-2011 18:10

What a cool shot!
Too bad about the sound check snafuu, though it does look like a great stage show!
Walter Otto Koenig30-Jul-2011 16:10
What an image. This looks like a scene from War of the Worlds. I think I'd need at least two Kölsch afterward to recover. :) "V"

Tom, wonderful photo!! Loud music I definitely dislike, but Koelsch beer is not too bed...
Neil Marcus30-Jul-2011 15:20
The photo was worth waiting for. You caught it at the perfect moment. Your best concert picture yet.

Like so many that have rerached his calliber, they start taking their fans for granted ... too bad, but that is a great shot Tom.
Jim Coffman30-Jul-2011 12:17
I am sorry to hear that,Tom! I would hate to pay good money for a bad evening! You did get a nice image! V
Jackdad30-Jul-2011 09:58
how odd! Was he unwell or something?
Great shot of the brief performance!
Blandine Mangin30-Jul-2011 08:52

Linda & Pär Johansson30-Jul-2011 08:15
So shame on such a "great" artist! The picture is brilliant anyway! V

That's disappointing. Cool capture of what I am sure you'd like to be a forgettable event.
