Rhastus's Biloxi review(long)
Rhastus69
My buddy Jason and I left my house in Pensacola around 4:30 p.m. Saturday. The
closer we got to Biloxi, the darker the skies got, but the rain held off. Got
there a little after 6 p.m. which was excellent time. Went and grabbed
something to eat and then headed to the coliseum.
As usual, the parking at that place is horrible. We were there about an hour
and a half early and it was still an extreme pain. I've probably seen a dozen
or more shows there and its always the same story. If you get there close to
show time you will probably miss the opening act. Maybe one day they will do
something about it.
Went to the will call to get our tickets. The line was slow and of course when
I finally got up there they couldn't find my tickets. Luckily, I brought my
confirmation number and they eventually found the. Second row. Jason gave me a
high five and we headed into the arena.
As we walked in we received our Musicology CD and headed to the merchandise
booth. They actually had cool Prince T shirts this time. I bought one of the
purple ones, 1999 style and the days of wild single. Then we headed to our
seats
Walked around and found our seats. I had forgotten it was in the round. Our
seats were on the side. Right in front of the stairs going to the stage on the
side Renato was set up. I was disappointed but Jason thought they were fine.
Next we decided to get some "liquid refreshment." While we were waiting in
line, an Internet buddy saw me and came and talked to me. That's the first time
I had met her in person and she was very cool.
Decided to walk around and check the place. maybe luck out and see Chance.
After our little trip around the arena, Jason placed a call. We got our
confirmation that the Time were not going to play and I was bummed yet again.
Went to our seats and waited for the show.
Sometime around 8:30 p.m., Illusion, Coma, Pimp & Circumstance was broadcast
over the speakers. Everybody rose to their feet in anticipation. The house
light went off and the Alicia keys half of fame speech began. The crowd was
crazed. We saw some of the band members go on stage right in front of us.
Prince rose up in the middle of the stage and it was on. Luckily for us we are
both tall and had no problem seeing. Probably would have been better in the
center, but we really had no real complaints.
Here is the setlist with my ever insightful comments
1. Musicology
2. Let's go Crazy-Jason and I were going wild. It may no longer be my favorite,
but this is the one that hooked me 20 years ago and I love guitar.
3. I would die 4 U
4. When Doves Cry
5. Baby I'm a star-Jason's favorite Prince song so he was loving this (he's
still pissed that it wasn't a single and was the b side to Take me with U)
6. Shhh- did I mention I like guitar
7. D.M.S.R.- This was a full fledge P. Funk jam. The band really jammed on this
one and it was atleast 10 minutes long. The horns really added a different
dimension to this classic
8. Love Bizare/the Glamorous life(instrumental)
9. I feel 4 U
10. Controversy-another kick ass extended jam. Love the people call me rude bit
11. What a wonderful Life- Renato and Maceo provided a nice interlude while
Prince got ready for the acoustic set
12 Little red Corvette-Just prince and his purple acoustic in the swivel chair
13. Cream- I could do without this one, bur it was better this way
14. The Glamorous Life- a nice treat, especially since the band already did the
instrumental bit earlier
15. Potato Chips blues song-Have no idea what this was, but I liked it
16. Sweet Thing
17. Raspberry Beret-definite improvement over the medley with take me with you
that he was closing shows with for years
18. 7- another one I could do without. The band came back in on this one,
ending the acoustic set
19. Sign of the Times-another Jam, the horns gave it a new dimension that I was
digging. "We'll call him Prince, if he's a boy"
20. Joy in Repetition- I love this song and they nailed it. Did I mention I
like guitar : )
21 Let's work
22. U got the look
23 Life of the party-One I have been overlooking on the new album, but it jams
live, folks were invited on stage to dance on this one
24 Soul Man-Chance took the lead on this one. I'm sorry to see he's not with
the Time anymore, but he definitely has made a positive impact on Prince's
band. He served as Prince's MC through out the night and Dude can flat out
sing.
25. Kiss
26. Take me with U- this closed the normal set. Each different band member was
doing a solo, playing various snippets. Blackball started the drums to 777-9311
and triggered the "we don't like New Wave " bit and the main part of the show
was over.
Encore
27 The Beautiful Ones-My favorite Prince song, maybe my favorite song of all
time. I like screaming too : )
28. Nothing Compares 2 U
29 Purple Rain-fantastic as always. Did i mention, yeah i know shut up
The show was around 2 hours and was probably the best Prince show I have ever
seen. Atleast #2 out of the 10 or so I have been to. The only bad thing about
our seats was that we couldn't see Blackwell. Everybody else was fine and
Prince and the rest of the band came over to our side all night long. How cool
is it to see Prince play the solo to Let's go Crazy five feet away from you.
Very
It was raining and it took forever to get out of the parking lot, but that was
just a small annoyance after seeing Prince wreck the stage
Rhastus- "get a little alcohol in him and he turns back into Prince"

>Blackball started the drums to 777-9311
LOL! "Blackball?"
Nice review, Rhastus! I'm looking forward to the shows I'm going to in

See, now that I met him, I can picture him lifting the panties like in the
movie Vision Quest and giving them a good sniff.

Wife said no, we were both worn out from the Friday show, so she said she
can't miss work like that, as late as we got in and as tired as we were. I
still might get 2 tickets, and sell one later.

Cool
I definetly want to go, the problem is talking my buddy into shelling out the
dough for two shows
There is a slim chance we might go to the essence fest show in new orleans as
well
Cletis Van Damme
on the 9th towards the end of showtime, I'm expecting there to be an
afterparty/show most likely since he's in town for 2 nights in a row, and as
of right now, no show is scheduled for the 11th, so it may be the 10th.

I was telling my wife about it and she said i had better go to both or the Time
will play the one I don't go to LOL
and an afterpart would rock.
He does seem to love the ATL
I absolutely hate driving in atlanta. I always make somebody else do the
driving there when i make a trip there. The one time I drove there myself was
the world series in 95 and that was enough for me
