Personally he gave some of his best performances of Sometimes It Snows In April that I've heard. His dancing on Kiss is real showmanship, Purple Rain is enjoyed by most because of it being the biggest selling Prince song in Norway. Other than that he was actually "singing" Amy Whinehouse through the guitar. He made the guitar weep alot more than in WHen My Guitar Gently Weeps. Some of guitar playing was truly beautiful, and he still amazes me of his ability as a technical guitar player as well as showing true emotion. His only problem was sometimes overplaying and looping las vegas versions of his hits for a bit too long periods. And no matter how much I enjoy him being a bit cocky, I'm a bit fed up of his constant bragging of millons gazillions hits, and the I am God attitude. It's kinda fun in small portions.

No matter how negative i probably seemed now, it was mostly a good concert, sometimes perfect, but also sometimes seriuously boring.

I found myself clapping 50% of the time I was supposed to clap according to the band and most of the crowd. They also gave us crappy sentences to sing on repeat while he was playing guitar and such. I know I'm probably spoiled by owning too much material and bootlegs. The 2nd Melkweg gig that I only heard on flac was 10X better than this gig. And I preferred him in Roskilde. But it certainly was better than most small acts I sometimes watch on random pubs. He had his perfect minutes every now and then.
