At 7:30 we were treated to a funky pre-show with Maceo on stage and Candy Dulfer and several other musicians. I have to totally guess at the song titles of what they played (please, someone correct where I have it wrong), but they played six songs:

1. Soul Power

3. ...
4. "Gonna Have a Funky Good Time. Gonna Take You Higher."
5. ... (no idea which song this was, but very cool slapping bass)

I thought the show was better on the second night, he seemed more into it, and the crowd was much louder. I don't know why, because I would think all the hardcore fans would buy the first night tickets, and nights 2 and 3 would be more fairweather fans?

The Question of U and The One, were awesome, I'd sen the movie and was hoping he would do these.

Please next tour... I hope he drops the horns for most of the show...they're gettin on my nerves.. (sorry)

...did someone say 17 Days!?!?
