All I have to say is I had nosebleed seats and the sound was excellent. The show was also incredible but not much different than the one I saw in Oklahoma or State College. It was a bit sad to see John Blackwell's t-shirt. I think it was his daughter on it. The fans here though were more into the show than any other audience I have ever seen.

I was in the 11th row on the floor (behind Renato) and the screaming was deafening at times. I don't really remember the order of the songs, but this is I think all of them:

I Feel For You
Controversy
Let's Work
Little Red Corvette
Let's Go Crazy
Take Me With U
The Beautiful Ones
When Doves Cry
I Would Die 4 U
Baby I'm A Star
Purple Rain
Raspberry Beret
Kiss
Sign 'O' The Times
U Got The Look
I Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man
Adore
Alphabet St.
The Question Of U
Cream
7
Shhh
The One
Musicology
Life 'O' The Party
On The Couch
Soul Man

sorry, still sleepy. know that doesn't help. but with the horrid nyc rain yesterday -- a cold sideways blowing mess -- and sitting in the FIRST ROW (whoowee) has just blasted me today.

all i can say right now is, have faith in your NPGMC tickets -- even though i bought the tickets about 15 minutes into that first awful presale (remember when the server crashed?), me and Hiin were able to wrangle front row tickets. they really must do some random drawing, and do not (even in the presale) do a first come first serve dealio.

and the nyc people were a lot more into it than in minneapolis this year. there sounded/looked like there were some mic problems (a couple of times prince gave a couple of serious glances to the sound guy, so did candy, as they both did some gestures telling him to do something, and do it some more).

because of the rain, dozens and dozens (maybe hundreds?...i don't know) of audience members waved their umbrellas in the air during purple rain.

I forgot he did Nothing Compares 2 U during the encore. I knew I had left out a song.
