u r going 2 make him make it up 2 u for making u wait arent u. with that list, the show would be from 8pm to 6am in the morning.

What I Want:

Sign "O" The Times
Play In The Sunshine
Little Red Corvette
Housequake
Strange Relationship/6
The Ballad of Dorothy Parker/4
Condition of the Heart
Kiss

Erotic City
Starfish & Coffee
Crystal Ball
Rock Hard In A Funky Place
Computer Blue
Darling Nikki
When Doves Cry
I Could Never Take The Place of Your Man
If I Was Your Girlfriend
U Got The Look
I Like It There
Fury
Dreamer
A Million Days
Can't Stop This Feeling I Got
We Can Funk
Data Bank
Hello
Annie Christian
Lovesexy
When 2 R In Love
In A Large Room With No Light
Future Soul Song
Power Fantastic
Forever In My Life
Old Friends 4 Sale
Purple Rain
Anna Stesia

What I'd probably get:

Love Is A Losing Game
I'll Take You There(lead vocals by some female background singer)
Sampler Medley: Insert Great Song you wanna hear live by real musicians and not on a tape.
Free(only first verse)
Hound Dog(Elvis cover..first verse sung, then a long instrumental)
Purple Rain
Kiss(half of lyrics sung, the rest holding the mike to the audience)
Put Your Hands Up Chant(the background girls chant this while Prince is backstage telling some reporter that there will be no new album, with internet piracy given as the reason.)
Prince comes back, and says "I've got too many hits" and then starts the Put your hands up chant again.

She's Always In My Hair(starts song, then stops after 5 seconds, and tells us we ain't ready, and plays a shortened Insatiable instead)

Anotherloverholenyohead(actually a great jaw dropping performance worthy of release)

Peach(another very good to great performance)

1999(great performance)

Shh(either great or almost great performance)
Laydown(first verse sung, then Put Your Hands Up Chant again)
Jughead featuring Vanilla Ice & Tony M rapping
Play That Funky Music
Everyday People(Shelby or whoever on vocals)
Put Your Hands Up Chant mixed with "Prince And The Band."
The Beautiful Ones(Lead vocals: Larry Graham)

Scandalous(great performance)

So...I want a great concert, and I end up with one that is great in moments, and very bland in others. Kind of sums up his shows as of late.

Still, a horrible Prince show is better than a great show by anybody else...I just have have to live with it.
