I was there last night and I'm really not convinced that this is the best track to start a show with. Maybe its something to do with me not liking it much (never have done - sorry), but surely the first song should shake you out of your seat - not waving around a fag lighter (or a bright mobile phone nowadays!)

TT.

He hasn't been changing up the set much has he? It's still always a great performance, thank you for sharing.

He did a great version, but I don't think it worked with Purple Rain as the opener and Lets Go Crazy as the closer to the standard set.

Swap them back Prince. And while you are at it, how about actually singing a verse in Lets Go Crazy?!

Yep, a slightly shorter version than normal. The crowd didn't go much for it because they didn't know it.

I wasn't ready for PR when it came up and I wanted a verse in Crazy too.

What album is Shhh on?

Shhh is on Gold, I believe. Not my favorite track but DAMN! that girl can play those drums.

I concur that the abbreviated version of Let's go crazy does nothing for me either.
