PRINCE - PRINCE'S TRIPLE TREAT

PRINCE'S TRIPLE TREAT

Pop superstar PRINCE thrilled fans with three concerts in one night on Saturday (28Mar09) - all within a stone's throw of each other.
The Purple Rain hitmaker kicked off his triple treat with an early evening show at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles before hitting the stage at the Conga Room next door and then wrapping things up late at Club Nokia.
Each concert featured a different backing band.
The shows were staged to promote Prince's new triple-album release, LOtUSFLOW3R, MPLSoUND and Elixir - the debut from his new protegee Bria Valente.
The hits shows were hampered with sound issues, but Prince more than made up for that by bashing out fan favourites like 1999, Let's Go Crazy and Kiss, and he reteamed with former percussionist Sheila E on a rendition of Glamorous Life.
Rolling Stones star Ron Wood was among the fans who caught Prince at the Conga Room for the rock segment of his three shows.
The sound problems prompted Prince to delay his final midnight show by an hour, but no one was complaining - apart from the star himself, who took a moment to lash out at promoters AEG Live for providing him with inferior sound equipment.
