    There is one thing I always wanted to experience. That I dreamed about experiencing. Me being at a Prince show & him starting out with Let's Go Crazy. I could see it in my head. But now I never will. I am heartbroken. I should have gone to his show last week in ATL. I should have. But I was saving my body for PJ in Greenville, since I donated a kidney last month. I should have gone.

    Would go ballistic if they played Let's Go Crazy, one of my favorite songs all-time let alone Prince! Boom rocking the keys in the beginning. Guitar part is pretty simple and then just let Mike go nuts on solo. Make it happen fellas!

    Wouldn't be surprised if PJ plays some Prince tonight. Not sure what song they would do.

    At the very least Mike will give us the guitar solo from Purple Rain.

    Me thinks it will be a dedication. Probably light years

    This was a punch to the gut. We should have had 20 more years of music from him.

    90 shows and counting...some of my favs: Randall's Island night 2, Milwaukee '95 night 2, Hawaii '06, St Johns '05, PJ20!

    I was extremely privileged to have seen him perform multiple times. Always seemed like he would live forever. Easily one of the greatest guitar players to have ever lived. "Genius" may be a term tossed around too loosely, but it truly fit Prince. Can't describe how gutted I am by this loss. Gone way, way too soon.

    One of the all time greats for sure - such range in musical ability and an effortlessly fantastic live performer.

    Way too early to speculate but one can only dream about what's in his music vaults/archives.

    I know this sounds crazy, it's hard to describe but I just don't believe it. I can't wrap my head around this. When Bowie died I was shocked but I believed it, today it just doesn't seem real. I'm selfishly hoping this is some sort of terrible prank. Just gone way too soon and seemed like he was indestructible, and he would die when he decided. RIP
