==History== |
|
|
In January 2002, Prince began putting together a new incarnation of the New Power Generation. After Kip Blackshire and Morris Hayes, Prince hired keyboardist Renato Neto, alto saxophonist Maceo Parker, drummer John Blackwell, trombonist Greg Boyer and longtime bassist for Prince, Rhonda Smith. Prince designed the tour to put the emphasis on music; no dancers, pyrotechnics, huge stage props or other gimmicks. Most of the music played was centered on the then new album The Rainbow Children. The tour lasted for a run of 64 shows.<ref>One Nite Alone... Tour concert schedule. http://www.goldiesparade.co.uk/concerts/dates/onatour.htm Retrieved 8 January 2015.</ref> Prince wore suits rather than his trademark unique outfits. Both the image and his new onstage persona, presented a mature Prince who wanted to be taken seriously as a musician and live performer first. The musicianship of the band was top-notch and the jazz harmonies in the music performed in theater venues gave the tour an intimate feeling. Prince played many aftershow concerts and amazingly, via his NPG Music Club, fans could attend band soundchecks and even ask Prince questions ranging from his music to spirituality. |

During this tour, Prince introduced controversial subject matters like race relations. "Avalanche", which is reminiscent of "Alabama" by John Coltrane, is a blues lament about effects of slavery of Black people and Prince called out Abraham Lincoln by name for the disingenious reasons why Abraham Lincoln abolished slavery. "Family Name" is a song about Black Americans' original surnames from Africa taken away from them by white slavemasters that gave them demeaning surnames and contrasts those last names with Jewish last names that have more positive connotations. Unlike any other previous tours, Prince's onstage banter was humorous, challenging and even condescending. Also, during soundchecks, Prince was outspoken with his fans about his issues involving ownership of media outlets, the music industry, consolidation of record companies and radio stations and people's criticism of his decision to become a Jehovah's Witness. |
