He came on stage wearing solid gold sequins from head to toe. You probably could’ve seen him from a mile away, but our tickets were upgraded to a section right down front. I’m so glad we didn’t pay the $250 price tag for those same seats when they were sold online. (Our tickets were in the neighborhood of $65 each.)
We arrived about an hour early and the show started around 8:45, nearly an hour after its scheduled start. It was so worth the wait.
Prince delivered and then some. I was smiling from ear to ear for the entire show. It was just so much fun!
I had forgotten some of his older music, but when it started playing I instantly reverted back to my days at the roller skating rink in Rivergate in the suburbs of Nashville. Trucking around the rink with a hairbrush in my back pocket. I had a rat tail back in those days, yes, I admit it. My jeans were tight-rolled and my girl friends and I thought we ruled the place.
For a few minutes I was 14 all over again...
Prince performed like he was in his early years too. You would’ve never known he’s actually 53. And for a man so small in stature, he lit up the stage and the whole, packed-out arena.
CJ and I celebrated our 16th anniversary on December the 16th, and it was a night neither one of us will soon forget.
