#Prince

47 posts38 participants1 post today

So #Prince died nine years ago on this day. I'm commemorate this with boosting some old posts from my main account, but I start with re-sharing* the final (full) concert Prince gave in #Atlanta on April 14th 2016. Part of the Piano & Microphone Tour 2015/16.

I don't know what's exactly happening at the Prince Estate nowadays, except repeating stuff and broadcasting live concerts in only a few selected venues in the US (like in Paisley Park tonight), but I again beg them 🙏🏻 to release a soundboard quality of one of the Piano & Microphone Tour 2015/16 concerts. I even except a compilation from those concerts or digital only. I don't care. Release It!

* I shared this a few times, but all links are unfortunately broken. So let's try this new uploaded video.

It's a shame that the #Pope died on the same day as #Prince died nine years ago. I don't care about Pope Francis, but I did care about Prince. Now the Catholics stole #PrinceDay! 😭

But the good news is, is that Prince has a song for every occasion. 🎵 Closing the circle. 😇

*Pope* (1993, featuring Mayte and Bernie Mac)

"So you can be the President
I'd rather be the Pope
Yeah, you can be the side effect
I'd rather be the dope"

I will continue my yearly Prince commemoration later today on my extra account at @joeneXtra.
