Prince - Raspberry Beret

A lot of birthdays going on right now. We got a chance to celebrate the likes of Bob Dylan, but we skipped another legend yesterday. Prince turned 53, but somehow he is still on his "Welcome to America" tour. I was lucky enough to snag some tickets and see the icon perform alongside Sheila E. and some former Sly & The Family Stone members.

He put on a 3.5 hour performance that included about 8 encores. Of course he played "Purple Rain" and "I Wanna Be Your Lover" which are among my favorite Prince songs. He also did a sweet medley and eventually closed out the set with "Raspberry Beret" - today's feature.

Prince - Purple Rain

Sorry folks, but I just cannot help myself, I am inclined to put up "Purple Rain." After last nights, epic 3 hour performance, it is only right to include this. After playing for nearly 2.5 hours, Prince left the stage, only to return with a sweet performance of Purple Rain followed by a medley of a number of different songs including "When Doves Cry" and "Kiss." Then, he finally closed the show with "Rasperry Beret"

Prince - I Wanna Be Your Lover

Prince is coming to Oakland! That's right, him along with Sheila E and the former Sly & The Family Stone bassist will all be performing together. If that is not enough, then throw in Carlos Santana. I will say that tomorrow is going to be a funk-filled night. So, in response, I feel like it is only right to put some of the legends music up on the site. After all, Prince is sex.

While "Kiss", "Little Red Corvette" and "Purple Rain" would have all sufficed, I cannot help myself to throw on "I Wanna Be Your Lover." Let's just say that it does not get much more direct than "I wanna be the only man you cum for." Prince always had a way with words and I am stoked to see the legend perform.
