26 Feb Prince Concert News; Feb. 28th Show In L.A.
This is an update of the story from Tuesday about the Icon, PRINCE playing a benefit concert for Tavis Smiley’s Annual State Of The Black Union Symposium.
We found out a couple of hours ago that the show will be at the Conga Room In L.A. at the Nokia Center. (We took a while to post to make sure everything was on the up n up.) The show is scheduled to start at 8 P.M.
Tix will be $300 (seated) and $150 (standing room general admission) and there is a 4 ticket limit.
You can purchase the tickets here.
I have never heard of this site before but went through it all without purchasing the tickets. It seems secure but be careful is all I can say. Anyone wanna pick up my ticket tab? =-)
Please keep in mind, it is a benefit concert. Hope some of you can attend in this economy.-Dr.FB

Posted at 13:06h, 02 MarchPrince’s show at the Conga Room Sat 2/28/09 – Yeah .. all I can remember .. all I can think about .. is when he threw his guitar in to the crowd and after a few seconds of fumbling and tossing .. it landed in my direction .. right within in my grasp .. for a moment, I couldn’t breathe .. I couldn’t see clearly .. my eyesight became blurry .. I froze, my heart skipped a beat and when I opened my eyes there is was right in front of me and I grabbed it .. I caught it .. I held on to it for dear life .. for a moment I thought I was soooo lucky and so blessed to have this guitar in my arms .. there was a flash and I thought “I can’t believe I have his guitar” and then just as quickly as it came to me it was gone .. they took it back and gave it back to teh stage man .. Wow!! I was ‘DEVISTATED’ .. after that, I could not focus on the rest of the concert .. all I could think about was how I lost out from that ‘Glorious Moment’ .. After awhile though, I became more optomistic and said to myself .. ‘At least I had a chance to touch it’ and that was good enough for me I guess .. What a night though!! My spirits were lifted as the nite went on .. eveything that happened during the show could only lift me higher and higher!! .. This was, of course, a ‘Prince Concert’ and he and his band and Sheila E. were incredible to watch!! I will never forget that nite!! -Angel

Posted at 15:18h, 27 FebruaryUse the link I provided for purchasing tickets above as it is cheaper. That is the conga room price and I am sure at the door, they will be charging that much.
I have been hooking you up with the price Tavis’s people pay. 🙂
