Yeah, you're on it, thanks!

Just saw a tweet, "Prince is covering Nothing Compares 2 U, woo!" *cringe*

Prince wrote Nothing Compares 2 U for Sinead O' Conner, not a cover his song.

uhh...Prince wrote Nothing Compares 2 U for the Family...then Sinead covered it.

Yes I actually have The Family first and only CD and it is on it. I know that Sinead covered it, I was speaking in terms of it was pointed out as a cover then cleared up.

Me! Me!

hehehe...I think it really is over now. Nearly 3 hours, no opening act.

Sounds AWESOME.

Can't wait to see what he does next

Let's work

U Got The Look

I've also seen some tweets about Mountains, Anotherlover, and CherryMoon, but not sure if people were getting confused. Can't wait until someone can confirm!

[Edited 2/24/11 23:29pm]

My goodness .. this sounds sensational!!! Nearly 3 hours, really?? And he is still on stage???

I think the Another Lover is the typical Anotherloverholenyohead/Rock Lobster medley he has been doing for a while.

I think it ended up being just over 3hrs...sounds like he's off stage again now...

That makes sense. Someone tweeted Anotherlover very early on, so I'd say that's what it was about.

Not sure about the other two - I know he's played Mountains on this tour, but only on person mentioned it and Cherry Moon tonight...possibly they were in the samples...

no way it was 3 hours..

in a couple of hours the bootleg will surface and it will be around 110-125 minutes.

Only in europe he gives shows over 3hours ( + aftershows)

most of it is like that, and still it feels fresh & new

apparently I missed U Got the Look! The fucking house lights went up we were sure he was done!

I saw a tweet just now that "they released doves at the end" ...????

The reports sound so amazing ... I'm excited about it all those miles away in Austria!!! PRINCE ROCKS!!! He is simply the best live performer and anyone who says something else has no idea!

NDRU said:

but he opened with The Love we Make!! I can't believe it!

Really????

No one else caught that...have updated the list! Nice!!

paisleyperk said:

Pop Life, Rapberry Beret and Cream were not just snippets. I was on my feet 4 3 hours. Yes, he played longer than 3. I'm on BART need food!!! Update when I get home. LRC was amazing. Shia E played almost whole night. Mountains was in there but back up singers only no P

Cool, thanks!

Sounds like a phenomonal show/party!

Larry & Sheila were perfect additions tonight. I don't want to hear Larry sing a whole set, but a bit of riffing between he & Prince is worth watching.

Sheila looked gorgeous and she played drums on Purple Rain.

I thought the outfits were tame until the people in the expensive seats got onstage. Biggest tits ever.

Just some real quick notes:

He played "Guitar" somewhere near the top of the setlist

He started the piano set with instrumental of Under the Cherry Moon, went into Do Me Baby, then the snippets started which also included The Most Beautiful Girl

During his set with Larry he wowed by playing guitar one handed and with the other piano at the same time! For a good while too!

Also with Larry he was playing the congas and guitar at the same time, putting the pick in his mouth while he banged on the congas and then playing rhythm without missing a beat.

He also did this cool jump onto his piano....he put his hands on the base and kinda launched himself up there rabbit style..don't know if that make sense lol

And yes he did play for nearly three hours! Best concert EVER!!

This just sounds absolutely amazing! I wish I could have been there!!!! And the parts of Prince playing two instruments at the same time .... only one word comes to mind: GENIUS!!!!

Thanks for sharing your impressions everyone. I love it and can feel the excitement!!! I am always so happy when Prince thrills the crowds and shows them who is the best!!
