Prince Makes ‘Dream’s Come True On ‘The Tonight Show’
OMG … so yesterday … was seriously, one of the coolest days ever. My friend Daniel, who works for TMZ, and I made our way out to Burbank for the second taping of The Tonight Show with Jay Leno for the express purpose of watching Prince perform his second of three performances on the show (as you may recall, we got to see him perform the day before, too). We were very fortunate to get prime seating at the show, right in front of the performance stage. Prince performed the song Dreamer from his new album LOTUSFLOW3R and pretty much rocked the house …
… and then the unbelievable happened. At the end of his performance, Prince took off his guitar walked right over to Daniel and me and handed us his guitar! We were shocked, Daniel just froze, then we screamed and the crowd went wild:
I’m telling you, the fact that it happened at all was incredible … that it happened on national television is just insane. Daniel posted about the experience HERE on TMZ and news outlets all over the place have been rerunning the footage. Everyone wants to know if we got to keep the guitar … no we did not, it was just an incredible honor to be able to hold and touch the instrument. I was able to strum some of the strings … it was just insane!! Truly, one of the coolest concert moments of my life. After the jump, check out video of Prince performing Dreamer on The Tonight Show and make sure you watch to the very end …
To clarify, we did not get the prime seating because of TMZ or my blog … Prince did not know us … it was just a magical concert moment that was meant to be. I’m still freaked out … to be able to touch and hold Prince’s guitar is truly an honor … one I will never forget.
I have to give a shout out to Pink readers Wendy and Leslie who I got to meet at the show yesterday, it was my pleasure.
I’m happy to announce that Pink readers Mark and Melissa (and their guests) each won a pair of tickets to attend today’s taping of The Tonight Show for Prince’s third appearance on the show this week. Prince will perform outside on the outdoor stage today … so I’m going back. I cannot get enough, so I’m going back again. I truly doubt that lightening will strike twice but if Prince does end up handing me his guitar again … I’m running like hell out of there with it ;)
OH and a bit of an announcement: this afternoon, Pink is the new Blog will begin a server migration … I’m hoping there won’t be any problems but with these things, you never know. Over the next few days, the site might be acting funny or it may be down for a bit … but we’ll be working to get everything back to working order as soon as possible. I’m hoping that things will be totally migrated by Monday so … I’m keeping my fingers crossed. I’ll be updating my Twitter with any announcements in case something happens and the site goes down. Thank y’all in advance for your patience … but, as I said, I’m hoping things will go smoothly.
