Ok,

This is the tracklisting as I was able to compile it while trying to enjoy the performance. This may or may not be totally accurate, but it is to the best of my ability! Enjoy:

Show opens with introduction from VH-1's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 2004 Show. Alicia Keys and Outkast are shown introducing Prince. Alicia Keys is speaking and says "There are many kings but only one Prince...". The show kicks off...

That's it!! The show was AMAZING!!! Prince showed why he has been and still is so relevant after 20 years!!!

Seeing the simulcast has me SO juiced for the concert in the Bay Area!!! I'm still surprised he didn't fit Adore in there somewhere. I loved every minute - my favorite moments were "7" & THAT SCREAM @ the end of "The One" DAYUM, my boy killed it tonight - gotta sell that mutha on DVD!!

How's the guitar playing...does he go off?

If I remember correctly he went off on The Q of U, SOTT & PR - extended PR (the singing chant @ the very end) for a LONG time, had me wishing I was there!

You know what surprises me? I know his catalogue is just too vast but he didn't sing ICNTTPOYM. I guess there's a lot of significant tunes he left out (Do Me Baby, Head , Adore). Fucking GREAT show though, I wish it lasted another hour

Most definitely and most plentifully! Hallelujah! Mostly back and forth between the Hohner and a Strat, except for Purple Rain, where he pulled out the blue/purple symbol guitar. Oh yes, and there is an acoustic set but I didn't catch the make of the guitar on that one.

But rest assured, guitar heads will go away satisfied.....

Thanks for the setlist. I was up late last night after the concert trying to store it in my mind and on paper forever. Didn't he also sing Tracy and Candlelight? I could be wrong on the titles - I'm too sleep-deprived from last night to go thru my Prince cd collection.

I wouldn't quite go that far, the theatre I was in at Union Square Regal had plenty of empty seats, including two empty ones immediately to my right. I didn't feel packed in at all! But, that's a good thing.

You'd put Rave over Musicology? Wow, that's surprising. I don't agree, but that's interesting.....
