Quite often it's pointed out that Prince plays too much old stuff, only to have someone then chalenge that and say that if he played new stuff, the shows would be bad. I dissagree. So, using only songs released since 2000, what would your set-list look like?

Here's mine,

1. Lolita/ Lavaux

2. Boyfriend/ Ain't Gonna Miss U When You're Gone/ Extralovable

3. Colonized Mind

4. Satisfied

5. Walk In The Sand

6. Hardrocklover

7. Layadown

8. Fury

9. When I Lay My Hands On You

10. Black Sweat/ Love

11. Musicology

12. Groovy Potential

13. Feel Better, Feel Good

14. The Gold Standard

15. This Could Be Us

16. Way Back Home/ Time

17. $/ Love Like Jazz

18. Reflection

19. The Word

20. Dreamer

It would take at least 10 but more like 20 shows to hear these newish songs in current live appareances if he would do them all in sequence in his hits setlist.

This is as P plays 90+% hits.

And hits only.

No particular order...

1. When Eye Lay My Hands on You

2. Family Name

3. Last December

4. 1+1+1 is 3

5. The Everlasting Now

6. Xenophobia

7. Avalanche

8. Have a Heart

9. Young & Beautiful

10. Plectrumelectrum

11. Anotherlove

12. Pretzelbodylogic

13. Dreamer

14. Boom

15. Colonized Mind

16. Love Like Jazz

17. All This Love

18. Time

19. Future Soul Song

20. The Word

21. Cinnamon Girl

22. Glasscutter

23. F.U.N.K

Pick half of those songs and you'd have a great show.

I'd be all for:

1/ Shows mainly focused on the latest album(s)

2/ More rarities from P's past catalogue, particularly 1996-2015 given that many songs from that era have never been played live at all

3/ A few hits a show to make mainstream audiences happy since it unfortunately seems necessary

.

P said that his audience wants the hits but I don't think the ONA tour was porrly received by its audience, on the contrary, so IDK what's with these nostalgy "best of" setlists.
