Performer: Prince Venue: Paramount Theatre Year: 2002 City: Seattle State: Washington Country: United States
Ahhhh, once I heard that Prince was preforming I knew I had to try to go. Tickets went on sale and the show was sold out very quickly ~ I was online with Ticket Master and got as many tickets as it would let me buy. I was able to get Row O Seat 8 and several other tickets for friends.
Prince was a very big influence on me, and “Purple Rain” (1984) one of my favorite movies (which I still own on VHS) and albums. My friends felt the same way and wanted to make the night special. We rented a limo, something I had never done before, drove around Seattle before the show. We were all dressed up, almost as if we were the rock stars and it was our show that people were coming to see.
When we pulled up to The Paramount, there were people everywhere, excited, the energy was high. My friends had the limo driver get out to open the doors for us ~ but before he did that he rolled out a red carpet for us to make our entrance to the show. For just a second, I was not a social worker in Seattle, I was a rock star too!
The show was amazing. Even though I love the old Prince music from the 80’s, which he did not perform much of during this tour, it was great just to be in his presence, hear his guitar and watch him move. I have the CD’s from that tour and the songs take me back to that “One Night Alone”.
