SEEING funk soul legend Prince perform to a crowd of just 200 people at Hollywood's swish Roosevelt Hotel was definitely priceless.
Fans waited more than two hours in the lush Blossom Room before Prince finally hit the stage with a 10-piece band around 1.40am last Monday.
But waiting didn't seem to be a problem for those who had forked out up to $3500 for front-row seats - leather couches - or $380 for the "cheap" tix.
Prince's first half-hour was slower jazz including covers of Wonderful World and Over The Rainbow, before he moved into a full rock set.
He then pulled out some amazing bass lines before sitting down with a female guitarist and playing acoustic versions of some of his biggest songs, including Purple Rain and 1999.
Prince, who has a new album out on July 14 called Planet Earth, also played some tunes from that.
After a 90-minute set, Prince took his band to the hotel lobby and jammed until after 6am - not something you'd expect from one of the most famous musos on the planet. (source)
I absolutely love this article it really gets me in the mood of the concert I will soon see in August! His performance will be absolutely amazing, I just can't wait!
