Prince concert chronology |
The Diamonds and Pearls Tour was a concert tour by Prince promoting his Diamonds and Pearls album, released the previous year. Like several of his then-recent tours, Prince chose not to tour in the United States (the exception being the Lovesexy World Tour). It wouldn't be till 1993's Act I tour before Prince did a full tour of the U.S.
History
More extravagant than the previous year's Nude Tour, the Diamonds and Pearls Tour had more expensive set design, and additional band members. The setlist focused mainly on songs from the album, but was spattered with a number of greatest hits. Most songs were played in their entirety. Prince added a new horn section to the band and promoted a new hip-hop image with raps by Tony M.
Band
- Prince — vocals, piano and guitar
- Levi Seacer, Jr. — guitar and vocals
- Sonny T. — bass guitar and vocals
- Rosie Gaines — keyboards, organ and vocals
- Tommy Barbarella — keyboards
- Michael Bland — drums, percussion and vocals
- Tony M. — dancing and lead raps
- Kirky J. and Damon Dickson — dance and vocals
- The NPG Hornz — brass
- Mayte, Diamond and Pearl — dancing
After the departure of the remaining members of The Revolution after 1990's Nude Tour, Prince decided to officially dub this new band the New Power Generation. Most of the band transferred over from the Nude Tour. Levi Seacer, Jr. was switched from bass to guitar to replace the departed Miko Weaver while Sonny T. took over for Levi on bass. Tommy Barbarella was brought in as a replacement for Doctor Fink on keyboards.
Prince added a new horn section to the band, dubbed the NPG Hornz who, while not being active on the Diamonds and Pearls album, would contribute greatly to Prince's albums for several years.
Dancers Diamond and Pearl were mainly eye candy and holdovers from promotional videos, but Mayte would be elevated to the focus of his next album, and eventually become Prince's bride.
