Summaries and Customer Reviews are supplied by Amazon.com 21 Nights--a first book by Prince and celebrated photographer Randee St. Nicholas is a stunning multimedia volume offering a rare glimpse into the life, lyrics and mystique of one of the most notable and prolific musicians of our time. This beautifully designed photographic essay flows from Prince's sensational, unprecedented, record-breaking, sold-out 21 concerts in 21 Nights at London's 02 Arena in 2007. Giving insight into his dueling worlds of performance and solitude, 21 Nights incorporates Prince's evocative poetry and lyrics to new songs and other selections, and 124 full-color, sumptuous never-before-published images by Randee St. Nicholas. As part of the multi-dimensional experience, it will also include "Indigo Night," a CD--available only with the book--capturing Prince's after-hours, live after-show sessions--rare and profound moments of musical genius.
21 Nights takes the reader from the passenger seat of a limousine zipping through the streets of London to his sleeping quarters in a luxury hotel. In between we see him and his phenomenal band of musicians, singers and dancers backstage in the make up room to onstage, bathed in purple lights and a fog of gray smoke. Like a movie-in-a-book, readers are taken on his journey from London to Prague, in a style that takes glam rock to a new level.
Then there is poetry and lyrics that reveal the heart and soul of Prince--in addition to his incomparable talent. Going beyond the catchy hook, he expresses himself on everything from the destructive forces of war, greed and superficiality the life giving energy of love, beauty, and--of course--music. Disappointed!! | Customer Rating: | | Disapointed? YES!!! I grew up with Prince. Graduated High School in 1987! My sister graduated in 83'. We were farm girls and we would drive around in our Ford truck JAMMIN to Prince! Me and my best girlfriend would drive around JAMMIN to Prince! Me and that same girlfriend drag raced, (well that was what we thought it was) a girl that "we" hated cause she was dating someone that my girlfriend liked, to Prince. After school and college and marriage and children...I found Prince again. Re-bought almost EVERYTHING, so I think I own almost all of his music, except, of course what is still on some hidden paper and in his head (and one CD my husband would kill me if I bought...not really...but I can't see spending that much on my curiousity). Of course, the music rocks that was included with the book, but I want to know more about his life!!!! i didn't want posed shots. About half way thru, I closed the book and forgot about it. I wanted know the real him! I was hoping for some candid shots and some true history about this artist and his life journey. I rented the Prince interviews (which I think Oprah showed more of "The Artist" than any other interview) and learned more thru them then this book. After that I finished the book. The only reason I would recommend this book is because it is PRINCE...So now...I live on 6.5+ acres in a very little town in Ohio with my husband, 2 boys, 2 dogs, 4 cats, 22 chickens, 2 goats, and 1 horse...AND LISTEN TO PRINCE! | Beautiful Book but don't order from Amazon | Customer Rating: | | Gorgeous book but I wouldn't order it from Amazon. You are better off getting it at Barnes and Noble. The one I got from Amazon had a smashed corner, like it had been dropped so I got a replacement and that one was smashed too! Not what you want for something to display on a coffee table. Their packaging department has something to be desired. I returned the second one and then just went to Barnes and Noble and got a perfect copy. | it's alright | Customer Rating: | | the book itself was decent but there have been better prince related picture books over the years. the cd was alright and polished but something has been missing over the past 20 years for me with his work. he can bring it live and still does his thing but that extra spark he once seemed to have is missing. still it is cool to check out. | for the true fans... | Customer Rating: | | ...if you are a die hard prince fan, you must have this! it is a collection of amazing photographs by an amazing artist. its a great coffee table book, but of course, mine will be put away with all the other prince treasures, only to see the light of day a few times a year :) | Prince book | Customer Rating: | | Bought the book for my wife, she love's prince and she just loved the book! Pictures were great! |
