点评:Always wanted to get an idea of life inside Paisley Park and I'm glad we made the trip but it could have been better. We paid for the 3 hour tour as we came from the UK and wanted everything on offer. You get to see the entrance hall that leads to an atrium with doors going off into various small rooms; his office (they say just as he left it), a little diner style room with snacks and a TV where he would watch basketball, a couple of rooms dedicated to albums (e.g. Lovesexy) with memorabilia in. Went to his editing room where we sat and watched him on a screen). We saw a couple of recording studios, got to listen to some tracks, before production, whilst he was laying them down - that was pretty cool. Had a couple of photos taken by them and e-mailed to us (not allowed your phones in this part of the building). Lots of outfits /shoes / guitars on display. There was a large Purple Rain exhibition that we got to wander around. Went into the stage area (where most of Sign of the Times was filmed) and I believe we were supposed to see something on the screen but there had been some double booking and a sound test was going on, on the stage, instead for a show the next night. I don't know what we missed but instead they sat us on a purple sofa with a drink and had a chat; slightly awkward - was aware that they were killing time. As we were in an area of that room not usually available to the public there were 2 rather intimidating security guards hovering around us. Rather unnecessary & blocked my view of the room when the guide was pointing things out to us. Finally into the NPG nightclub for a wander around and then through to the gift shop. Don't book if you expect to see his actual living quarters, they are on the first floor and we didn't go near that. Wear a jumper, the aircon was freezing. The actual tour wasn't amazing but this was a pilgrimage for me.
翻译:一直想了解佩斯利公园内的生活,我很高兴我们参加了这次旅行,但本来可以做得更好。我们支付了 3 小时的旅行费用,因为我们来自英国,想要体验所有服务。您可以看到通往中庭的入口大厅,中庭的门通往各种小房间;他的办公室(据说他刚离开时),一间小餐厅风格的房间,里面有小吃和一台电视,他可以在那里看篮球,还有几个专门放专辑(例如 Lovesexy)的房间,里面有纪念品。去了他的编辑室,我们坐在那里看着他在屏幕上表演)。我们参观了几个录音室,在制作之前听了一些曲目,当时他正在录制曲目 - 这很酷。他们拍了几张照片并通过电子邮件发送给我们(大楼的这一部分不允许使用手机)。展出了很多服装/鞋子/吉他。有一个大型的紫雨展览,我们可以四处逛逛。进入舞台区(《时代的标志》大部分场景都是在这里拍摄的),我想我们本应该在屏幕上看到一些东西,但是那里有重复预订,舞台上正在进行声音测试,而不是为第二天晚上的演出做准备。我不知道我们错过了什么,但他们却让我们坐在紫色沙发上,喝着饮料,聊天;有点尴尬——我知道他们是在消磨时间。因为我们在那个房间通常不对外开放的区域,所以有两名相当吓人的保安在我们周围徘徊。这很不必要,当导游向我们指出东西时,他们挡住了我对房间的视线。最后进入了 NPG 夜总会,四处逛了逛,然后去了礼品店。如果你希望看到他实际的住处,就不要预订了,他们在一楼,我们没有靠近那里。穿上套头衫,空调很冷。实际的旅行并不令人惊叹,但对我来说这是一次朝圣之旅。
