I was just to the left of center about 2 rows back. The crowds were so crazy and we were crushed together so tight, I was lifted off the ground and just swayed above it about 4 inches for the entire concert...

I'mma Old Schoola & back in the day we didn't COMPARE our ARTIST ~ We understood that each ARTIST held their own TALENT& it was no such thing as LEVEL of Talent ~ All of Our Artist back then were LEGIT in their talent & Highly Talented.
@jamrich - That isn't even close to the truth. People debated who was better Clapton or Hendrix constantly or who was better The Beatles or The Rolling Stones and on and on. Also the social groups like the mods and rockers fought like crazy you are talking from an old selective mind. Also if people didn't compare or criticize artists then what's the point? Criticism leads to higher art.

amongst MY PEERS as an African American no major comparisons of the artist were made we just had alot of "NATURALLY TALENTED" artist and enjoyed each INDIVIDUAL talent.
Ex. Sam Cooke better than Marvin Gaye or the Temps better than The Impressions & so on..... "NO!!" We just enjoyed their INDIVIDUALITY... That's old school appreciation. I personally liked the Beatles & Rolling Stones... LOL!
Line up: The Stone City Band & Slave They are also working on getting other artist. So go on out and show some love for Rick James (Stone City Band)trust me you won't be disappointed
Geez, Prince was a lightweight compared to Slick Rick in his heyday...did this mofo know how to THROW DOWN or what!?!?!? RIP brotha, there's still plenty of your funky shit left to spread around, lol...>;-)
@PeekaPeep - In fairness to Prince, Rick was already an established star when Prince first hit the scene. And I would say that around this time, Prince was just starting to understand the art of performing. He realized this when he realized that The Time was kicking his ass on stage every night. But you could see that, around 1985-86, he really started to polish his stage act. Subsequently, he became the best on stage IMO
devastante !
