Prince was a TRUE musical genius. The type that doesn't come around very often. I was blessed to have lived to see 3.
Frank Zappa, David Bowie and Prince. How my heart mourns to not have their music to look forward to. Fortunately, I still have Jack White, in whom I have much promise that he will eventually settle into the role of the Musical Willy Wonka. I was thrilled to see him actually play the keyboards on several songs on the last Raconteurs show I recently saw. Unfortunately, the show was a phone free event. There is this video...
This is closer to what I saw that the earlier version that someone captured. I WISH I had what I witnessed though because it was elongated and better than that what was captured so far on film.
I swear that the spectre of Jimmy Page circa 1971 entered his body at the St. Augustine show. He played like a man possessed.
If you EVER want a jump point for the sheer brilliance I saw in Prince watch the film Graffiti Bridge. The Crystal Ball, Musicology, Lotus Flow3r, MplSound are where you need to be.
PS: The Raconteurs are where all of the musicians need to stay. Together they are tighter than when they're apart doing solo work. That's what my ears here though.
