Only found out about this today and Im quite upset about missing it (hope we get extended encores at the other shows).

Who missed it and who stayed? And who ran back into the building lol?

I managed to run to the front of the stage when the 3rd encore started and about 1/3 of the arena had left and I was right in front of Prince

I missed it and am gutted! After all the stuff in the press about the queues at the tube station after Barbara Streisand I thought it best to leg it out. Bloody pissed that I didn't stay now. Just hope that he does it again on the other nights.

I was having a piss when he started 'Little Red Corvette'!!!

I was mid-stream and couldn't stop!

We ran back into the arena and sat anywhere and caught the rest of it though. I hate to say it but it was bloody brilliant.

In total he played:

Little Red Corvette
Raspberry Beret
Sometimes it Snows in April
Le Freak
A Love Bizarre
Get on the Boat

Never.....ever leave a Prince show quickly.....

The night buses are also very good if the tube is packed. They are located next to the station.

I used one at 4am and it was a good service.

OH YEE OF LIL' FAITH!
U guys should now better! Prince Luvs 2 tease the crowds... He will always go out with a tic tic...BANG... Unlike other artistes... Doesn't just EXIT STAGE LEFT (or DOWN!) and that's it! Plus it was 'opening night at the club ya'll!' so it had to give the critics something to feed off!

Love u 2 the 9s!

Here's what I posted last night, strangely I am finding it difficult to focus on work today

"Just back from the main show. The set list was fantastic. I have to start at the end as this was the MOST exciting bit. Prince ended the show and people had began to leave when he came back in from the far back left of the main arena and was ushered through the remaining fans to the stage - I ran over and managed to 'gently' stroke his arm - he looked frightened!!! Not as intimate a Prince meeting as the handshake and chat I had in Vegas I then managed to run to the very front of the stage and he got up there and tore the house down with Little Red Corvette, Sometimes It Snows In April, Raspberry Beret, A Love Bizzarre, Chic's 'Le Freak', 'Get On The Boat' and a 'Funky London Chant' outro'"

I didn't leave quickly and still missed it. The house lights were on for ages before he came back out. I was down on the floor in row 7 and manged to be far enough from the arena that I didn't even hear it start up again. It was quite some time.
