prince：piano and a microphone

prince最后一场演出在4月14日亚特兰大，一周之后去向天堂。这出巡演名为《piano and a microphone》，prince一人一架钢琴一支麦克风，走过澳大利亚，新西兰，再回到美国。

虽然现场的安保严格，但各地的bootleg在这些月里都已经流出。综合音质&prince当天状态&乐迷合唱互动这三点考量，2月28日在奥克兰派拉蒙剧院算是较好的版本。

最令我动容的是prince将【if I was your girl friend】和bob marley的【waiting in vain】串唱成一首歌，【waiting in vain】之前较为出色的翻唱版出自二十余年前annie lennox那张曲曲皆佳的纯翻唱专辑《medusa》。

朋友说：能有这样现场弹唱创作的艺人已经没有了。我不悲观，也不乐观，我只是觉得prince这最后一出巡演会成为日后打着“返璞归真”，“让我们用一把木吉他心连心”，“虚度时光”等等名号的演唱会的试金石或照妖镜。试出黄金，照出妖怪。

how do you stop a river, a force of nature, named prince?
