Toronto 6/15/2002. Opened with "Elephants & Flowers" followed by the 2nd performance of "Whole Lotta Love". Played for a good hour straight. What was cool was he was essentially testing some of the obscure material that he would play the following week for the "Xenephobia" celebration. There's alot of great soundchecks. In my opinion, I believe the European ONA soundchecks where better than the U.S ones.

That would have to be one of the only ones that hasn't surfaced yet - Fukuoka 26th November , 2002

3+ hours long !! I was there, I can't remember the tracklisting but it's floating around ...

^^ Mmm. Are you sure that the Fukuoka soundcheck was over 3 hours long? One of the longest soundchecks on that tour was Antwerp, and that clocked in at just over two hours.

Anyway, the full Antwerp soundcheck is being released soon.

We were waiting outside the doors from about 2pm and they started soundchecking around 3pm & they let us in the place at 3.30pm and they keep playing until 6.40pm

Main show started at 7.10pm until 9.30pm

so we definitely got our moneys worth that day !

Tell me the Fukuoka soundcheck is finally being released and you'll get my attention wink

check the original report here - http://prince.org/msg/12/29130
