Loving the current line-up. Ida on guitar, Donna on lead & new bass man, Andrew Gouche, this frees Prince up & allows him 2 light fire with a strong foundation. Love that he's doing this. Those of us who have been with him for years should see this as him trusting other musicians more (might see this as)

I'm excited...they sound tight

My mind is a blur today but I can say it was the most fun I have ever had at a Prince show. The band was amazing and it consisted of Prince, the girls, Ida, Donna, Hannah and the NPG Hornz.

I don't remember a lot of it. I do remember that Prince seemed to be in a very good mood, like the was still celebrating the love in the air from George and Melody wedding.

He was onstage most of the time, didnt do a bunch of covers and didnt play guitar. And you know what? I didn't care. I don't think most people did: it was that great.

I remember Housequake, U Got the Look, Let's Work, 1999, Extralovable, Partyman.

It was my first Prince concert with my best friend of thirty years, the person who made me a diehard Prince fan and he had a wonderful time. He kept thanking me all night for bringing him. It was a wonderful night that I won't forget.

Yay! I'm so happy that you had such a fantastic time!!!

Still lost in a purple trance but in two words ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! The man was in top form! Band was CRAZY GOOD! Standouts Extraloveable, Musicology and Let's Work for me. Way 2 funky ! Third time seeing him and excited for the next time <3 I am in absolute awe of this man, the amount of joy he gives me is surreal. I really have no words to fully express how much I love him to the 9's!!

Excellent show!!!

The band started around 1:50am basically doing the sound check live as peope were coming into the venue.

Ida was playing guitar and along with the regular band (the other 2 ladies) cora was on keys. The entire Hornz section was in the house and all 3 back up singers there + plus a guy singing backing vocals whom I have never seen before. Damaris Lewis danced ocassionally, and prince was in a very playfull mood.

After playing a new song (Big City) and a bit of Super conductor, Prince went into 1999. He took off his sun glasses and mouthed "seriously?!". He had a whole lot of fun with us.

The show was very funky and the hornz were tight.

Prince never picked up an instrument but sang just about every number. He was conducting the bend throughout and I swear Hannah never took her eyes off him as he was constantly calling out changes.

He gave the Hornz a good work out and I think each of them had at least 1 solo, the trombonist had 2 at least. Donna and Ida were completly backing the entire time. Ida had no solos and I think Shelby J gave Donna one solo during their version of the Gap Bands "Outstanding" other then that they were there for sure but not the focus.

Hornz were well intergrated into all the numbers during the show and came out for each of the encores.

I believe the first encoure was "Let's Work". For about 5 minutes while the band played the instrumental backing to the song, members of the Hornz section had a houseparty dance off between 3 of the Hornz memebers and someone else (not sure if he was a hornz player or someone else in a tux). Lots of popping and locking, running man and even the macarana came out.

Prince announced it something like "in this corner weighing 325 lbs collectivelly" and "in that corner...."

Damaris lewis acted like a "Round Girl" in a boxing match and in between dance offs announced "Round 1", "Round 2" and so on.

After a few more encore songs (and at about 3:50am) the show was over. Most of the room stayed waiting for another encore but when the bassest and a drum tech started breaking down the equiptment we all knew it was over.

The stage was so packed it was impossible to see everyone. I think i spied Cora 1 time and only about half of her was on stage. Liv, Shelby J and other back up singers were so far in the back you knew they were there but hard to see.

Great review of the show. I don't have much to add except the whole show felt like an "experience" - it wasn't about which songs he played per se, but rather the feel of the whole set was very laid back and super funky with the hornz. Prince seemed like he was having a lot of fun and the audience interaction/call and repsonse was fun to be a part of.

I have also have seen Prince many times in concert and in aftershows and this was one of the best "aftershows" - great vibe. The band is so tight, especially the hornz!!

I am STILL high from this show. Prince was amazing. He was so joyful and fun last night. "Extraloveable" was my favorite. So great to see him in such a small space. It was a perfect night.
