Gigs length

Short title says it pretty much all.

When we comment a concert review thread, there is the setlist, the sound, the vibe and the length... which seem to vary a lot from a place to another. I feel lucky to have been to a 4h and a 3,5h Prince gig but...

What was Prince's longest gig / shortest gig?

Yeah, I love Graffiti Bridge movie, so what? ''Oooooooooooh Montreal, say it!''
If you can't be nice to someone on the net, you probably ain't worth much talking to in real life either.

Zurich: Maybe i mistake 2 concerts but i am sure that the concert with larry graham and chaka khan in zurich started at 8 and lasted till midnight. Prince was onstage nearly during the whole time.

Perugia: concert started at 21.35, p left the stage at 12.55 - so for me its fair enough to count it as 3,5 hours.

Munich: its long time ago but as far as i can remember p left the stadium by car after 65 minutes. It was the worst and shortest of my 27 concerts

I know the Los Angeles 1999 tour show was about 70 minutes and I believe most of the tour's gigs were about that long. It was great, but I expected more.
