Thanks for the report. The aftershow sounded excellent.

How was "The Everlasting Now" ? He practiced that for 15-20 minutes at the Cleveland soundcheck, and it was a brilliant groove.

BTW, One Night Alone was premiered in Louisville on the 9th of March:

and also played in Cleveland on the 10th:

Thanks again for the report !!! He had been practicing Extraordinary for a couple soundchecks and I heard it sounded fantastic. How was it ???

The chicago show that's been circulating has about a minute or so of One Night Alone, so it was debuted even earlier. It also ha a full version of Everlasting Now.

I *KNEW* I heard Blackwell unleashing the eye-popping 777-9311 hi-hat jam at the DC soundcheck. DAMN YOU, ATLANTA!

Really ?! I guess no one had put that in the setlists. I'm really digging all the reports, but I love those setlists. It makes it interesting to see the little changes that take place over the course of the tour.

The soundchecks are even more interesting because it can provide a peek at what is to come !!!

Keep it coming people !!!

"I Wanna Get Funky" jam ?!!! ... nooo ... get outta here ... u don't say ... Prince, what u know 'bout dat der young buck?!!!

FYI. Everlasting Now closed the 1150 Aftershow. He did not do Soul Sacrifice. And just so you know it was an incredible show. The Ride kicked ass.
