I'm a bit worried about the set list. I'm going to see him in Antwerp next week and the show is starting to look like the old setlists again from 2010.

I wanted to see him again for the cool guitar stuff (endorphinmachine, i like it there, chaos and disorder).

sometimes...i..really...really.....want to.....need to......SLAP SOME FANS!

Please do not go to the gig, give your ticket away to someone else!

I understand where you come from. However, Prince seems to thrive on some challenge and he has some autopilot aspects in his show. And yes....he cultivated that so much that you still will have a ball.

Laura Mvula just sent me a tweet...just saying

I'm so glad you enjoyed it. After reading about all your frustrations from February and the seeing how worried you were when Laura Mvula was 'co-headlining' I was genuinely hoping you weren't going to be disappointed again. Seems you weren't

Last night sounded amazing. Especially FIML and SISIA. Gutted I wasn't there but roll on Leeds

Yeah...I moan a lot don't I. with last night Feb was a lovely bonus - I can't remember the last time I left a Prince gig and the next day still had this exhilaration. - it was perfect. He played hits I hadn't heard in a long time live (LRC ETC), rarities like COOL, 17 Days and tracks I've never actually seen live like Hot Thing, Forever in my life. Everybody says it straight after a gig but I think that's my fav so far of all I've been too.

Only a minor scuffle and a pre-gig argument about people sneaking to the front

Oh and some sloppy, sloppy, disgraceful calendar work by Prince....fancy saying he was going old Skool to 1982 with She's Always In My Hair - I almost walked out there and the.

Well, he recorded She's always in my hair in 83, so there is good chance he wrote it in 82

Basking in the joy of last night. 8 rows from the front. Saw every quirky glance, flirt, smile, glare - such a sense of fun. He was loving it. Fascinating setlist and so great that he came back on and broke the curfew like he knew what everyone's concerns were over the support act. Meant some great people - sorry I didn't meet you Brumguy and would like to have met Ppenguin and other Orgers but hey.

Oh and how freakin hot did Marissa Jack look in that dress!!!?

no negative comment by me, I know the concerts were superb and I'm still a huge fan, I really like the new stuff. I was very excited by the change in setlist since the last time I saw him in 2010, that's all. So I hope it stays that way, because I really want to hear endorpin and I like it there. never heard him perform that live before. that's all. no criticism.

Simply SUBLIME!

I was 3rd (2nd and a half at a squeeze) from the front betwixt mic and piano (#54 - clad head to toe in purple!) - and, boy, was he having FUN last nite! It rivalled Academy 2 in sheer EXHILARATION .. we blew the doors of that curfew right off!

.

As mentioned up above: the shadow-boxing - the look of horror as he clawed the keyboard - the finale exit .. when he shot off in petrified fear of the mic ... GENIUS!

.

He also looked pleased as punch to give that kid his guitar .. before mocking some security chap for ushering everyone off ... such FUN!

.

He also clocked me twice in the eyes during separate guitar n bass licks - which was quite a fantastic moment!

.

I think a lot of one's enjoyment of gigs comes from where you want to BE - queuing for multiple hours to be at the front is its own reward - you put them in .. then you can pull out a wondrous experience!

.

Sound was pretty decent too - better than last Thursday - when I was by the sound desk (and a little worse for wear, to be honest .. a-hem!) .. hence my point on 'where you are' at gigs being a cruncher .. from now on I will ONLY ever be at the front .. that's where the party is AT

Very well said. No pain - no gain.

Security guy mock was very funny. Also seemed to be making lyrics up to make the 3EG girls laugh. Ida seems incredulous when he flirts with her. Donna seems a bit out of place in that way sometimes though.

Up there with Feb 22nd for sure.

Looking around during our curfew busting party - and seeing moby lights all around the arena dancing wildly to 17 Days - was quite magical

I just loooooove pogo-ing to Guitar (and to not barge into anyone at all .. takes a lotta achilles power )
