that is one hellova setlist, too bad for bad sound and the guitar malfunction. that setlist couldn't have been better. there was a 20 minute break before peach, so if ya left you should have stayed. i guess

The SOTT movie had overdubs and you know it -

He owned that crowd!

20,000 fans just went of the chain Crazaaay over in Australia - seems like they disagree with ya thumbs up!

perhaps the movie did have overdubs however for the majority of that tour, that band managed 2 play the full song just fine

Well it's kinda redundant what anyone thinks about the SOTT band's live version of Hot Thing given that 1) Prince never felt inclined to officially release it 2) Prince today stated that in his opinion he performs it on his own as he intended it to sound and that a band isn't required.

Moving on.......setlist was changed up since last leg. glad he opened with Gold - worked well the last times he did that. And how long was PR played out....! Be interesting to read the reviews when they come in. cool

Huh?? What does Prince officially releasing anything have to do with the SOTT band's version of Hot Thing?

He seems to get the vibe of some of the other reviews coming in but has totally embarrassed himself in his attempt to look knowledgeable.

"Sure, he's 53 (he looks 15 years younger) and can't maintain the pace of yesteryear." -WTF? Written by a teenager, what has happened to real journalism in our media.

Seemed like the SOTT did just fine "reproducing" Hot Thing. Sounds like your band needs a fuckin' upgrade, son (something I've been saying for YEARS now). disbelief

Exactly.

Prince: “We should be grateful for one another and be grateful for music, it brings people together. Why else would we all be here? Free Pizza?

Music brings people together? Let's ask Levi how he felt when Prince mooched him out of lotsa $ by delaying his lawsuit for unpaid royalties.

Did Purple Rain have the guitar opening? It'd be a damn shame to waste Andy Mckee plus just watched the Brits version of Purple rain with Wendy and it slashes over the piano opening. I think if I heard that as an opening i'd melt into............melted...........cheese?

melbourne herald sun aint gonna dis prince for sure, or i will never buy their newspaper again. whoever this journalist is, he got a chance to see the living legend perform and he shows no respect for prince whatsoever. he obviously missed out mentioning that he did 4 encores. bloody idiot journalists have no idea even if you smacked em on the head with the light, they would still be blind.

had the 80s SOTT chanting going on,

You might wanna watch The Wizard Of Oz from 1939. http://www.hark.com/clips...e-oh-yo-ho

I think the breaks were also a little long. He needs to tune the mixing and sort out the guitar and lights. I don't want any distractions. It needs to look and sound seamless and it usually is.

These complaints have been repeated over and over again for years. It's because he hires incompetent folk, doesn't rehearse the band, etcetera.

Man you are one pathetic loser. Nothing wrong with giving Prince some warranted criticism but how many freaking hours of your life have you wasted on here pissing on everything the man does or says? Good grief. If you're gonna waste your time on a fansite you could at least try not to be such a venomous and spiteful prick the whole time.

That's funny. I could swear I own that version on an official VHS, and an official DVD.

2) Prince today stated that in his opinion he performs it on his own as he intended it to sound and that a band isn't required.

I'm just comparing Pricne's words with his actions. The above is just one of many, many times Prince used other people's music without even bothering to ask if they'd be happy with that.

Oh, and he isn't doing these gigs because he's such a generous person.
