Give it up for Prince . . .

[Hyfi]

I gues nobody noticed that during the last medly change before he teased us with All Along The Watchtower, he totally missed about 4 or 5 notes that blared out of the speakers while his hands were all but motionless. I wonder who was playing that!

Overall I liked it but why hire Prince to play covers? Doesn't he have enough of his own music to play?

Are you sure he wasn't playing with his fretboard hand only? He was doing that a lot on Sunday night.

...to suggest there may have been some sort of technological chicanery or enhancements...No, no...never... they wouldn't do something like that...or would they?...Pay close attention to events like this...lip-synching is w-a-a-a-y too obvious these days so many times the vocals are "live" but the backing music or harmonies or guitar break is canned...

The reason for the quotes around the word live? Other times even the vocal is canned for the long shots, but for close-ups or maybe spoken parts, shrieks or other distinctly non-musical affectations the mic goes live...Ah! the magic of it all...

The rest of my obviously non-conformist opinion of the "performance" is in that other thread...

My only accolade (also great disappointment) is that no one did a little backside bowling on the rain-soaked stage...
