Sounds like the best Japanese show yet. Keep 'em coming.

Please define Prince drum solo
Did P himself get on the skins?

great soundcheck, but the setlist of the show is nothing of interest

well very average setlist...

the only thing I am looking forward to hearing
is this track

The Question Of U

and maybe The Ride

Sounds ok to me - kick ass tour this year! March - November. + isn't is interesting to see him with totally different crowds?

It's just a drum intro that leads into The Rainbow Children. Prince isn't playing the drums.
The soundcheck sounded good. Money Don't Matter 2night would have been good to see.

What u doin here if those 18 somewhat songs is nothin of interest...

NPGMC is saying that it is prince on the drums.

Prince played the drum intro to many Japanese concerts.
