Guitar came after Take Me With U!!

thanks guys, have updated, and just remembered a few more.. Listening to Sex Machine at home now, it's about as close as I can get to last night! Sad to admit, but we're even thinking of taking tea at The Dorchester this afternoon

A few other minor corrections...

He didn't play the first verse of Little Red Corvette, he sang the first line ONLY. A bit disappointing - it was Saturday night after all.

And Prince was the main vocalist on What You Need at the aftershow - Shelby merely sang the song out with the 'What You Need, What You Need' bit at the end with Prince solo-ing like mad.

EDIT: And he also sang The One (New Power Soul) in full having introduced it with a few guitar bars of The Question of U.

Thanks guys, The One was at the aftershow though wasn't it? Have amended to the Question of U intro... I really want to to this to try and fix the memory in my head (it'll always be in my heart), but a list of songs just doesn't do it justice, you can never really capture the freestyle way the sequence goes, and the sprinkles of other songs that mixed into a track... It's impossible to describe!

Midas, just read that it was you with the tamborine... RESPECT! My girlfriend and i were next to you (your left), but then we were a little further forward as the concert went on.... we were oway-owing to!

Nothing compares 2 u also at the main show

Updated list - please help to get it right!!

Toilet Seat Blues is actually titled The Rules according to 3121.com.

He did Kiss twice at the main show?

updated - help people, I know the order's all wrong, and there must be a load missing...!

The crowd chanting stuff (girls and boys singing along) was "dance to the music"

guitar was second, i remember because my 9 year old brother knows 1999 and loves guitar and he was loving it. he was wearing a massive grin!!

also, he cut off lolita after one verse and went into black sweat

thanks guys. Did they actually play Dance to the Music, or was the chant done over a different Sly track? Anyone remember?!

Thanks all for your help with this - it'll be worth it! Makes you realise how many songs he did, what a night. Will never forget it.

Thank YOU Artefact for piecing the setlist together.
It's indeed worth it. And yes it was an AMAZING night

I think the Lolita/Black Sweat and Kiss segment was later in the show - after the pianomedley.
Perhaps before Question of u etc. (He's handed the guitar by a twin during Kiss)
Not sure though.
I'm positive that Cream was followed by U Got the Look however

On the 28th I remember vividly that the pianomedley was followed by Lolita, BS and Kiss. BS and Kiss was played back to back on all 3 nights I went too (28th,31st and 1st). After the first 2 nights I was fairly certain that the "now what shall we play - speech" after BS would be followed by Kiss and indeed it was

Setlist at HQ is pretty much 100% - only thing really in question is the spoken lyrics during the "Thank You For Talkin To Me Africa" opus.

I can't tell you how glad I am that you guys started this thread - Thanks Artefact I'm the same, so funked that I can't keep the order straight in my head and I was starting to stress that I couldn't remember all of it.

I just wish that all orger's could have been easily identified - I kept looking at people thinking 'I wonder if they org...' Maybe we could get badges or t-shirts or something for NEXT time

If anyone's interested I was the slightly overweight lady with shoulder length straight blonde hair and glasses, long swirly patterened top and for the most part I was perfecting my 'fingers in the mouth' whistle, screaming at the top of my lungs and generally embarassing myself and my poor husband...
