Hi everyone,

This show is celebrating the music of Prince, through both a live band and a symphonic orchestra, along with some extra material (photo and video) from The Prince Estate. To remind us all of what this show celebrates, here's a clip of Prince singing live one of his most iconic songs:

My favourite Prince song is the one you have featured @EmilieT

He had an incredible talent. Played multiple instruments, and wrote great songs for himself and others.

A tragic loss when he died.

The concert sounds a fitting tribute for him. heart

Many artists have covered Purple Rain, some good, some not so good.

Brilliant iconic song but difficult to do it justice.

Yes a fitting tribute to a truly gifted man.

@jonsie & @Cleoriff I saw a couple of Symphonic orchestras playing a range of different things last year (classical music, video games/movie soundtracks, or supporting artists), and I agree with you both that this is a fitting grandiose tribute for such a talented artist.

 

Apart from Purple Rain, do any other songs jump to your mind that you particularly liked? You know I'm curious slight_smile

Quite a few @EmilieT

While My Guitar Gently Weeps

1999

Little Red Corvette

Nothing compares to U

Darling Nikki

Hot Thing

And many many more.

To be honest it wasn't just his music, it was the whole production when he did a show. He was the first person I ever saw who hired female guitarists who were superb, including Sheila E and Wendy Melvoin. He had many females in his band

He was a great showman. Second only to the incomparable Freddie Mercury.

I loved his 90s stuff with the NPG!

 

Diamonds & Pearls was the 1st Prince album I bought!

 

Cream & Gett Off are still favourites on my playlist
