EPIC Weekend! Actually, let me edit that EPIC Saturday/early Sunday AM. At 10am, I get a call from C telling me to meet the crew at The Forum. In typically fashion, I don't ask questions, instead jump into the car and pay for $25 parking. Turn's out G got everyone tickets to see Prince as a surprise. And that was only the beginning.
After watching Janelle Monae channel both Prince and James Brown in what I must say has been her finest performance yet (at least out of the 3 I've seen). The purple-one himself appeared, opening with "Let's Go Crazy". He certainly didn’t skimp, playing for more than three hours. I'd forgotten the incredible catalog Prince has to draw on: "Purple Rain," "Uptown," "Controversy" and "When Doves Cry" were among the hits played.
Then, just when I thought my heart couldn't take anymore, STEVIE WONDER took center stage with Sheila E. and Prince to a funky rendition of "Superstition". Stevie jammed on harmonica and did lead vocals with Prince and Sheila backing him up til Stevie wanted to play and they lead him to the keyboards as Prince played bass. Amazing.
But wait... there's more. Let me introduce my favorite, new-to-me, bartender in LA. What a great way to end an EPIC night. Everyone got home safe thanks to my awesome designated driver skills.
Question of the night, how many people can you fit in a Range Rover? Apparently, 7.
