I can confirm that the great Maceo Parker is indeed playing with him. A couple of friends of mine went to see him last week or the week before and he is playing in the round at the O2. Only trouble was that they were right at the lip of the stage and Prince is so small they only really got to see him from the waist up and the bouncers were a bit heavy handed about people dancing in the aisles which I find ridiculous. How can you not want to shake your butt at a Prince concert? Anyway, he blew the roof off the sucker. If you have a spare ticket...please please please.

+ves: great band, Maceo Parker was awesome, not too much talking and showing off, and I like the way Prince played guitar for most of the set (rhythm as well as lead, he was playing as part of the band, not on top of them). And apparently he plays a competely different set every night, so each time you get a unique experience. And he was obviously enjoying himself a hell of a lot!


-ves: pre-show video of various celebs proclaiming Prince's genius, poor arena acoustics, short(ish) set, the songs played with just him and his keyboard (would have rather heard them with the full band), too much muzak and perhaps not enough proper songs.

I saw a gig at the O2 a couple of months back, and was really really put off by the "crowd control". You're hearded in to the middle, and they leave a big gap either side of the standing crowd. I came back from the loo and was looking for Mrs Keef, only for this bloke to physically push me in to the crowd! I obviously turned round and told him to f**k off, which didn't seem to please him too much :X


As for Prince, I know a couple of people who have been in the last couple of weeks, and all have given rave reviews.

    • No one is arguing that people should cycle without lights or reflectors. Obviously they should. It is also a legal requirement. But the colour of someone’s clothing? Is it ok to wear navy? What about green? What shade? At what point should we have ‘no reason for sympathy’ if they’re in a collision? I don’t want people to feel like they need special clothes just to walk or cycle. If you have lights and reflectors and you’re on well lit city streets, there is no reason why drivers shouldn’t be able to see you, assuming of course, that they're driving with due care and attention. But yes, if there are lots of people without lights, that should be addressed. I suspect in part, it's the change over in seasons and the fact that people are getting caught out by how early it's getting dark now (obviously no excuse).

    • What a passionate thread this is. I have worked in cycling for years, am a cyclist, a driver, use public transport etc. Driving last night with my two young kids, who also cycle, we made the same observations. It was the kids who first asked me why are most cyclists wearing full black and no lights. We then played a game who can spot all the cyclists, and count those with lights and those without. This teaches them to look out for them but also not to put themselves in a position where we have to strain to find them.
