[...] The place was First Avenue in Minneapolis. The famed venue that housed many of Prince‘s concerts was packed this past weekend with avid Prince and The Revolution fans and even though Prince was nowhere to be found, if you asked anyone in attendance, that was quite alright. The event was a Revolution reunion of sorts for the first time since 1987, even though there was a mini-reunion of sorts in 2003 during Sheila E‘s tour. But this one was special because it was to help support awareness for the American Heart Association courtesy of a near fatal heart attack by the famed Revolution drummer Bobby Z. You can read more about what led up to the creation of this concert here. [...]

Wow. You are correct. We were told by a somewhat credible source that it was confirmed. The new information is above and we are bummed about the lack of prince. Now our source says that Prince may still be in the mix, but for now they’re still working out details. Thanks for catching this for us!

Well, that explains at lot! When the new album came out I was very excited the there was going to be a tour. There were some promotional dates and the album is smoking. However, other than a performance on the Soul Train awards, there has been nothing. No second single, video or website updates. This is the same way I felt after Jesse’s Verbal Penetration was released almost three years, solid album, but no follow through! Maybe these guys need Prince to drive them or maybe they are just too old! Anyway I love the album, keep up the good work. This sh*t is sick!!!

Not saying he’s ever abused any substance but he has looked a little “crackish” over the years. Heck of an artist though.

These guys have known each other for over 30 yrs. It’s unfortunate that the communication was not where it should have been on the business side per Jesse. Believing the best for the brother. Hopefully he gets the credit he deserves one day for being one of the best to ever pick up a guitar.

The group did make it seem like Jesse just jumped up and left without them knowing why, they should be ashamed of themselves. I have too agree with Jesse because the management, record company and group are not promoting the new cd well at all and it’s not Jesse’s fault either. I’m glad Jesse clarified what was going on and what really happened.
