A PICTURE FROM PRINCE @ LA CIGALE
Thanks Z

SORRY NO PICS WE CAN'T PUBLISHED THEM HERE
bIG bROTHER ( read Prince's Management ) 'S WATCHING OVER OUR HEADS

ticket & vip wristband

After seeing PEACHES @ famous Canal+ tv show "L' Album de la Semaine" , we're heading straight to the nearby Cigale in Pigalle , very easy 5 tube stations.
We're collecting our VIP wristbands and tickets for the show.
There's a special entrance for the VIPs @ La Boule Noire where there is a VERY lousy cocktail with DJ playing some crap , so we just stay a minute and we go immediately to the next door Cigale to see Prince.
Once again Lots of expectations after the desillusions of the first show @ Grand Palais ( click for setlist , review & Pics ... sorry NO pics ) and the 9 min set @ RTL this afternoon.

Well we're not gonna talk shit for ages :
TONIGHT WAS THE PLACE TO BE !!!

Not only because lots of VIPs were at the balcony with us ( Louis Bertignac , Keziah Jones , Romain Duris , Philippe M. , Manu Payet, Emma Decaunes , Patrice Guino who took some nice Pics once again ... NOT ). I mean they're French VIPs so it doesn't count.

[ personnal message to Prince management if you're reading this : FUCK YOU ]

Anyway from start to finish FANTASTIC SHOW , not one lousy moment , he even drop his horrible outdated 80's sounding drums & keyboard .
He was in high spirit , the audience down the front and at the balcony were dancing, clapping hands, singing like maniacs including PEACHES and her band who were there.
We're always moaning about something @ ROCKERPARIS but honestly I can't find anything wrong to say well... maybe one thing :I didn't make it with the beautifull brunette seating next to me.
Apart from this I can't find.

2h 45 min of pure joy with several encores ( 4 -5 ? )
Oh Yeah this time the sound was PERFECT
