Prince “Welcome To America” Tour – MY RECAP!!

First off I’m gonna start this post by saying… That was the BEST concert I’ve ever went to and trust me I’ve had my fair share of concerts!!! I LOVE Prince more than ever now, I never thought I’d say this but I love him more than Snoop Dogg! I’ve had a rough year but from 7:30pm to 11pm on January 18th I totally forgot about any and everything.

Prince’s opening act was pretty cool I’ve never heard of her before but she definitely set the tone for the show! Once she was done and the crowd sat and waited for Prince they played some old Ike and Tina performances! That definitely got me going because of course I love the great Ike Turner and I love watching Tina sing and dance! I must honestly say I’ve never saw a video of them actually performing together until today (or I guess I should say yesterday lmao). Anywho, it finally went dark and the crowd (packed house might I add) went WILD because it was time for the great one to grace the stage! After a few minutes all you could see was a tiny body standing on the piano I wanted to cry because I couldn’t believe it was really him. After a few minutes he goes “did y’all get enough pictures” and the crowd went bananas…. So of course he says “y’all ain’t ready for me yet, I’ve got hits for days”… OMG I almost died!!! He started of with some instrumentals of his old hits and the concert took off.

OMFG Prince sang so many songs I didn’t know what to do with myself! I wanted to take notes for you guys but I just couldn’t, all my attention was on that concert! When he sang “COOL” and the entire crowd did the little dance along with him I was in heaven! If you don’t know the dance it’s just spelling out cool with your hand! Also of course he sang “PURPLE RAIN” and I swore Madison Square Garden was gonna collapse or it could have just been my heart trying to jump out of my chest. I was loving the “WELCOME TO AMERICA” song, today was the first time I’ve heard it but I was rocking out to it like it was one of my favorites.

Prince also had the crowd fooled about 4-5 times. After a few songs he would say “Thank You New York City Goodnight” and then disappear so the crowd thought the concert was over! Then BAM out of no where he would come back and get the party started all over again. I almost felt sorry for the people who left and didn’t come back but hey a true fan doesn’t leave until the lights come on so it’s sucks to be them. I must say even though people were losing their mind when Prince sang “PURPLE RAIN” I swore a riot was about to erupt when he sang “OH OH LET’S GO”… Smfh mofo’s were going straight bananas in there!!!

Prince is truly a phenomenal performer! The way he sang and danced on that stage I just couldn’t believe it. Just looking at him on stage you wouldn’t believe he aged one bit! His concert wasn’t much like then sexy, naughty Prince from back in the days but you better believe I saw the freak come out of him a few times while he was performing. And yes Prince definitely still has the moves!!!

I had a BLAST!! Yes I had a BLAST!!! I got 100x over my money worth!!
