Prince's fans are extremely curious about his almost timely arrival on stage at his recent Paisley Park charity coat drive concert.
Many a time Prince has taken the stage as late as 2 or 3 a.m. for a concert scheduled to start at 11 p.m. But on this occasion he showed up shortly after 11 p.m. for the Oct. 24 concert. Some have joked that Prince may be getting too old to start a performance in the wee hours. Other sources suspected that the city of Chanhassen imposed restrictions on when the concert started and ended.
"From 7 p.m. to 5 a.m. were the event perimeters," said Bob Generous, a senior planner for the city. Those were the hours Paisley Park reps requested when getting a permit from the city for the concert held at his studio. When told that some have theorized that Prince flirted with promptness because the city had ordered it, Generous let loose some hearty laughter. The permit would have allowed Prince to play until 5 a.m. Sunday.
"He's just a nice gentleman," Generous said, "because he had this charity event." While Prince engages in many under-the-radar charity pursuits, I have a feeling this one was related to meeting his Jehovah's Witnesses obligations.
Three different people who attended the charity concert said the sound wasn't very good. *edit by PFL* 
probably had a few words with his engineer.
One source was surprised that people from Detroit and Chicago drove in for the show which was announced, as is Symbolina's way, at the last minute. These are true fans who would have waited as long as Prince wanted.
It should be noted, however, that Prince seldom has trouble being on time for David Letterman and Jay Leno.
