People often ask: “What is the best concert you have ever seen”?
Well, I have seen “them all” including Michael Jackson, Rolling Stones, U2, David Bowie, Bruce Springsteen etc., but for me this is without a doubt THE MOST FANTASTIC CONCERT of my life: The Lovesexy tour of Prince at the National Stadium in Copenhagen, August 1988, which I saw together with my good, old friend, John Kjær – do you remember, Fuggi?
This concert film is from Dortmund, September 1988, and what you cannot see and hear from the film is the fine summer weather, amazing sound, and best atmosphere/”vibe” including a VERY HAPPY audience partying, dancing and enjoying themselves as I have NEVER seen at any concert before, and it was really the combination of all of this that made this a total second to none experience as none other before or after.
We received everything you can imagine for both eyes and ears with Prince in his best form playing and entertaining the audience as NO ONE but him can do, and he had the best band with him including Sheila E. and Cat as many will remember.
Some may find the first half of the concert “uninteresting” because you don’t know all songs, and in this case, I can only recommend you to go directly to the last half of the show to experience one amazing highlight after the other.
In my mind, NO ONE has the same combined and unique gift as Prince when it comes to personal charisma and energy (including his smile and look in the eye), musical creativity and skills as a song writer and performer including the sheer beauty when he plays the guitar better, stronger, quicker and more effortless than any other I know of and also creates the best party in the world including his fine singing, dancing and interaction with the band and audience.
Other top musicians may have one or more of these skills, but I can think of none other than Prince having all skills at the same time, which in this sense makes him no. one on my list of the most talented musicians ever.
This CANNOT be done any better, and “guitar” is my symbol of creation, so this is what this the best ever concert means to me: We have created the absolutely finest New World, which CANNOT be done any better. This is what Prince and this concert symbolises to me.
This concert is the ultimate symbol of creation and celebration of our New World. I just look forward to this concert being published in its very best quality.
