The show lasted for about 3 hours. Prince was in a very playful mood and was really emotional at the end of the show. I think he really liked the reaction of the audience. Everybody had a great time!!!

No aftershow just a party at Tränenpalast. Prince and the band did make an appareance.

Yep that's the one

oh no...it's kirk johnson.

interesting,
a friend of mine saw kirk in MPLS bout a week and a half ago, so it seems that Prince must've asked him 2 come and join him ontour since...

WOW ! let's hope he'll do more shows with Kirk !!!

Kirk was kind of Prince's Jerome at the Oslo-concert. He was instructing the crowd on how to do the Housequake (put your foot down on the 2, jump up on the 1) and guiding the baffled fans that was dragged on stage on how to move about Moneyapolis-style.

He was fun and very cool with fans that approached him during soundcheck, but other than the dancing, he wasn't really much use on stage. Prince put him behind a set of bongos and he proved once again how he's no drummer. He couldn't keep up with the JB for shit, but then - who can?
