cwemby	Considering what a big supporter of record stores Prince is, I would hope this means he is going to perform!

There's a few raving reports on twitter about this party, sounds like this was the "something amazing is going to happen not to miss" party in front of 200-300 people.

Somebody even called it an epic night...well that's promising for the Hit N Run tour then.

The party started in the Love4OneAnother room, with Judith Hill's equipment set up. They were showing a Tower of Power concert. We were then moved into the soundstage. Prince started playing right away.

Set list from what I can remember.

Wow

Funknroll

Let's Go Crazy

Pretzelbodylogic

Rock N Roll Love Affair

Stratus

Hannah drum solo

Judith Hill's band started playing from the Love4OneAnother room and we all went back in there.

Judith did her set and then we were moved back into the soundstage. Joshua was DJ and played a remix of Clouds, the Rita Ora song, and then Revelation. Prince took the stage about half way through Revelation and started playing it live, with Marcus playing the sax, and the band backing.

Second set was:

Revelation

Thank You (Fallettinme Be Mice Elf Agin)

Judith and the horns joined for My People and As Trains Go By as a duet

Somebody in a different thread called it "damage control" to get folks talking about something else than the "hack" and follow-up tantrum drama wink

Good to hear this was a great concert for those who attended, maybe Prince had to vent through music which often leads to inspired concerts instead of hit sampler sets. cool

Thank you for a live report! I have to wonder if this concert was a response to the ridiculousness of the day before...

Jon Bream was there so he'll probably do an article 2morrow.. What a nite... Prince slayed that guitar with incredible solos, he also played the bass, it was awesome!!!

He was in a great playful mood, it was nice to see him like that...Was a bit of a different crowd tonite as well probably due to the record store employees and friends, more of an uptown crowd for sure smile

We most def got super spoiled biggrin

Tonight was such an amazing experience. I was randomly visiting Minneapolis for the weekend, so this was the best surprise ever! It was worth well over $30 just to hear Prince say "wrecka stow". LOL! Not only that, but he was so fun and relaxed. It really felt like he invited us all over to his house for a little musical get together. However, I didn't like being ushered from room to room, it was a little hectic and confusing. I was lucky to be up front for all 3 sets.

Judith really blew me away, what a voice!! I saw Prince peeking in the doorway during her set, which was too cute. It was such a treat to hear him play bass during his second set, and just jam and have fun. I didn't want it to be over, even though I was exhausted. They had vinyl and beautiful shirts for sale, but I didn't have any more cash on me to buy some. I took a photo with my best friend outside the building, which will serve as my souvenir. I'll cherish the great memories also. Thank you, Prince!! biggrin

Prince hosts ‘Record Store Weekend Jam’ for Twin Cities shop owners and clerks

by Andrea Swensson · April 20, 2015

As vinyl collectors in the Twin Cities took stock of their purchases from Record Store Day and local shop owners closed down their businesses for the weekend, a mysterious flyer popped up on social media: Prince was throwing a last-minute “Record Store Weekend Jam” at his Paisley Park complex on Sunday night, and anyone who worked at a record store could get in for free.

The offer proved enticing enough to bring about 150 people out on a school night—and, in typical Paisley Park fashion, the crowd would have to bide their time if they wanted to see what the fuss was about..."

victor58	How far into the studio version of Revelation did the DJ go before Prince and the band took it over live? Was it longer than what was broadcasted on the Yahoo special? If so, what was it like? Thanks for the reports! [Edited 4/20/15 5:08am]

I'm hearing on twitter that Prince took over from the recording halfway through and jammed on it for about 30 minutes with a lot of guitar soloing and improvisation. Glad to hear he's doing some new material and has brought 'RNR' into the set. Reports suggest he was on fire on the guitar last night.

This morning is so painful, LOL! Still, last night was totally worry it, and the best $30 I've ever spent. I've never spent so little for a Prince concert, which is why I originally thought that he wouldn't be there. What a surprise to us all!

And yes, his guitar work was awe inspiring! I've been to several shows, and I've never heard him play like that. Sometimes he'd get really quiet, and the audience was so enraptured that you could have heard a pin drop. Before launching into "Thank You", he whispered into the mic, "I need to get this out of my system..." We were happy to let him!
