19 Mar What The Critics Are Saying About PRINCE’s SXSW Performance
You wouldn’t know that there about 2200 other acts at SXSW over the past week as all the critics are talking about is one performer. PRINCE performed for over 3 hours and gave countless encores…all without picking up his guitar one time.
So..what are the critics saying about the greatest live performer?
He took the stage shortly after midnight, and his performance was built to last.-MTV
Prince’s SXSW performance towars over all other performers-Huffington Post
Prince’s band is tighter than a Marine Corps Top Sheet.-Rolling Stone
Prince threw a party to end all parties!-L.A. Times
Prince delivers a Housequake to Austin.-Billboard.com
Prince caps by SXSW in an unbelievable way.-Pitchfork
Prince’s stamina at SXSW is something out of the book of legends.-Hollywood Reporter
We could print about a 1000 more, and there is that many! Plain and simple, the icon dominated SXSW.
Don’t forget to check out Jester’s short review below and join us on the spreecast this Wednesday for his FULL review.-DocFB
Diagnosis: Austin will never be the same. Thank U.

Posted at 12:26h, 20 MarchI always love reading the raving reviews of Prince’s concerts! No matter if it is a small club gig (like the Dakota in January) or something big like a festival – Prince always blows everyone away with his performance! And that is possible because he simply is THE BEST PERFORMER IN THE WORLD!!!!!
What amazes me the most is that he is ALWAYS mind-blowing … whether he plays a guitar-heavy rock set with 3rd Eye Girl or the James Brown-style big band shows as in Austin, without even touching the guitar – Prince can do everything better than everybody else!!! He is showman, bandleader, entertainer, singer, dancer, performer and musician all in one person! Breathtaking and absolutely uncomparable!!
There can be no doubt: Prince, U are the best!!! Thank U over and over for all the brilliant performances and the Purple Love!!!

Posted at 19:46h, 19 MarchGlad to see Prince is getting widespread positive coverage in the media. Looks like he stole the show at SXSW just like he did at the Grammy’s. And happy for Jester. I can see in the way he talks and moves why he got invited by Prince. I’d like to meet Prince one day and talk about music and spirituality and how deeply connected the two are. Music began as sacral music.

Posted at 12:34h, 19 MarchMakes me so proud! I cant wait 4 spreecast! With this news and Jesse’s trip, it should be fun. I think seeing Prince in an intimate setting is on ALL of our bucket lists! MAN, i sure hope he comes back to NY after the west coast shows. Poor Prince! We’re gonna run him ragged. He loves it tho. Thanx, Doc. Thanx Prince. We love u both!

Posted at 08:21h, 19 MarchThese reviews are mostly done by people who clearly havent followed Prince in the last decade. According to setlist and length I would say it was a pretty good show but by far one of his best. Too many covers too litlle guitar imo
