Hi y'all who are that minority of people who ignore Keef's pearls of wisdom on at least one score:

Prince, along with his new band 3RDEYEGIRL are ensconced in London as of 4 February 2014.
At the Electric Ballroom (capacity 1100 people) in Camden Town, on Wednesday 5 February 2014, where he is holding a press conference, circa 02:00 to 03:00 hours (UK time), to announce a series of gigs in London.

3RDEYEGIRL R O C K P is once again mainlining Hendrix, Sly, Zeppelin and George Clinton, gonna be a blast!!!

Cheers,
SonicD

...Thursday 5th February?

LOL well spotted Bastion, sense of time kinda isn't my speciality...... now corrected

Saw Prince last year in Anaheim, Ca. He rocked! One of the best shows I saw in 2013, excluding the Stones of course. His backing band, 3EyedGirl were on fire. If you have never seen Prince, these are the shows to see.

"Rock and Roll is a nuclear blast of reality in a mundane world where no one is allowed to be magnificent." - Kim Fowley

If you LOVE music believe the hype.

U adore the Stones, P can bang on their door like a hungry buffalo in heat.
U worship Stevie Wonder, P can groove it like a souped up Linn Sondek on hyperdrive.
U go stratospheric for Zep, P hits the heights like an eagle with sight-lines for space.
U scream for The Beatles, P will shake your shout like a banshee maraca.
U trip out and go cosmic for Jimi (you KNOW Jimi H), P will unhinge your heart and bulldoze your mind.

P & 3EG back at the Electric Ballroom in Camden again tonight - Wed 5 Feb for a full gig.

Possible fully fledged press conference Wed 5 Feb 14:00 UK time.

Rumours of several shows at the O2 Arena London later in February.

At an arena show P will the make New Year musical fireworks seem like a mild blip on the radar and blast the parapets off the ramparts, BUT his club shows are where the drawbridge of power really rises and his full arsenal of sonic shapes are unleashed.

Cheers,
SonicD

Great news Sonic. Keep us informed on other shows. He would pick the day that London Transport goes on strike!

Apparently he has two venues 'on hold' for tonight and is yet to decide which one he will play.........keeping it spontaneous and screwing the touts!

P&3EG played two shows at the Electric Ballroom last night, one early evening and one late evening.
The queue was monstrous for both; to get in entailed a circa 5 to 7 hour wait outside.
However the tickets were only £10.00, cash on the door, no wristbands.

The first show was amazing, the second show was on a whole different level and blew the door off the O2 Indigo club shows in 2007 (everyone was saying this), even though the dude had jetlag (go figure that one).
The second show was really different and longer, with the second half comprised of a medley of hits and prime cuts we didn't get on the first show.

Can't imagine how good this is gonna get once they have a few more shows under their wings.
This is very much the rock incarnation of P, with only smatterings of the pop and straight funk of NPG.
If you like your guitars loud and screaming THIS is the band for you.

Cheers,
SonicD

Nice review, sounds like it was indeed a 'sonic dream'. Apparently he is going to play a number of iconic venues around town over the next few weeks, will have to keep ears to the ground......

Sounds like an amazing entertainer with a great band.
Will have to see this guy and his band play live after rave reviews the past few years. ><

P&3EG gig announcement circa today, Sunday 9 Feb 11:50 (UK time) on Cerys Matthews BBC Radio 6 radio show

Tickets confirmed at £70.00 peeps GULP
I mean good value in real terms, but not if you have to queue for like 5 to 7 hours to get a ticket.

OMG. I am living in Tokyo but now heading to London.
This is from Tokyo airport.

Fingers crossed another show on Tuesday or Thursday night.
I don't mind queuing 5 or 7 hours.

Most of Japanese can not see his show since 2002.

Tickets turned out to be only £10!

That's similar to the Montreux Jazz Festival gigs last year. Two different kind of shows he presented within a couple of days

The bass player in 3rd Eyed Girl, Ida, were my teatcher of the bass when I studied music 12 years ago. Strange to see her with Prince now.

That's great! Did you have a crush on her? I would!

quite impressive ! good vibes !

This is not a new P song, but the title track from his lesser known album of the same name from 1996.
The album is not available on an official format anymore. P really needs to sort out his back catalogue, but is probably too fixed on the present to care.

And for those wondering, his Shepherd's Bush Empire gig easily surpassed the already jaw-droppingly lofty heights of his second gig at the Electric ballroom last week.

Any more gigs planned Sonic?

Rumours of one tonight or tomorrow....

I hope tomorrow valentine's night.

Please post here any news.
His famous fan site prince.org is down.

sounds like a great show, hope all who can go enjoy! do wish way back when Prince & Michael Jackson were planning a dual concert it got to happen before Michael's demise....that woulda been fun!

I was super lucky last night(valentine's night) and could see him first time since 2002 in Japan.

I found a 3rdeyedgirl message just 4 minutes later its tweeted. I am not familiar with London geography but the venue is less than 10 minutes walk away from my bed. I am staying just in front of St.Pancras station.


The venue was unbelievably small. A door lady told me that just 380 capacity. Totally once in a lifetime event.
