Was Baby Love an uptempo funky aggressive song, then it's probably the one be Mother's Finest... (I could imagine Shelby singing it).

Le Freak ( good luck mashing it with Sexy Dancer!!)

gotta have 'stratus' by billy cobham on there. the aftershow anthem

Misty Blue was sung by Bobby Montgomery
Baby Love by Mother's Finest

You gotta have Stevie Wonder - Higher Ground and Superstition

also played

- INXS - What You Need
- Blackstreet - No Diggity
- The Rolling Stones - Miss You
- The Ohio Players - Love Rollercoaster
- Chaka Khan - Sweet Thing
- Mary J Blige's - Be Happy and You Bring Me Joy
- Janet Jackson's - What Have You Done For Me Lately
- The B52's _ Rock Lobster (ok only bit of the music was mixed with Anotherlover) but it's a cool track.

- Queen - We Will Rock You . It was played once as an opening track and could be a cool way to open a mix CD of tracks played

- Common- Break My Heart , was song of the songs Common played while Prince was onstage with him at one of the aftershow.

He played Best of you by Foo Fighters? Would love to hear his version of that!

I'm pretty sure he played Bennie & The Jets by Elton John one of the nights...

Bill Withers 'Use Me' at Aug 18th aftershow, great that was!

Kylie !! cant get you out of my head who could foget that

Thank you everyone!

Track down the superbowl performance

Add to the aftershow list "The World Is A Ghetto"... which I believe was originally by War, but I'm most familiar with the George Benson version, which I think was on "In Flight".

It's a great tune. Actually, I'd rate it higher than the version of Stratus that they played. The NPG's version (on the 9th) was awesome.

Wow, thank you for these lists. What a good idea. Has anyone compiled all the mp3's already? I might do that later or at the weekend. And call it 21 Nights.

I'm sure Prince made conscious references to Kashmir (Led Zeppelin) in his guitar part during the awesome "Thank You For Talkin' to Me Africa" at the 1st September Aftershow - anyone else recall that?

I'd definitely add it to the compilation myself

I'm having a crack at assembling all the tracks. I've called it: '21 Nights Uncovered'. Anyway, i'm only missing a couple of tracks so if anyone can give me a hand i'd be grateful. I've got the rest on the list if anyone wants them. Trade maybe? Orgnote me.

I'm A Woman (I'm a Backbone) - Rufus/Chaka
The Chicken - The JB's

Ta,

TT.

Thanks to the following orgers for their help so far:
