Product Description
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.

 Beautiful Book but don't order from Amazon November 17, 2008
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 November 16, 2008
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... November 5, 2008

Could Have Been So Much Better - What Happened? November 2, 2008
The book is very disappointing. Seems like Prince is just trying to show off his ritzy lifestyle during the 21 Nights Tour. There is very little substantive coverage of anything. I was expecting truly insightful photos and prose into the tour and/or his life. The photos are fluff. The CD has a few gems on it, but even that fails to deliver anything highly impressive. The "Whole Lotta Love" cover of Zeppelin is excellent.
