Just got back from Vegas. I'll tell u up front, I was expecting a greatest hits show and thats what we got. Damn it was hot. I'm not sure about the exact set list but he opened with SOTT. First his band came out and started to play and after a few minutes Prince walks out all calm and the place went wild! He had the audience sing along with him and then went into The Question of U which then led into The One then back to The Question of U. It sounded good. He also played Let's Work, which was my favorite part of the nite. He also played U got the Look, Nothin' Compares 2 U and of course Purple Rain at the end.
At one point he had his horn players which were Maceo, Greg and Candy, follow him threw the crowd. That was pretty cool. He called up some dancers during Take Me With U. There was one white dude who kept on trying to do the splits. He was all dancin' off beat when Prince came behind him and started to imitate him. Too funny!. And then there's all his facial expressions. Couple of times he just leaned up against the speakers watching his band play.
The House of Blues was a small venue so everyone had a good view. Not to crowded on the floor. Rad was pretty cool. Prince had her sing part of The One. He also has a new keyboard player that is hella big. He came up front and sang Soulman. All and all, it was an upbeat performance. He played from about 2:30 to about 4:30 or 5. Cant remember exactly.
Befor the show there was a lady taking everybodies name down from the club. I dont know why she did that. They let all the club members in first but rite after the general public. It wasn't very organized. But it did turn out ok. Thats it!

thanku for ur report, sounds like you had a great time

not sure why someone would take members names that has not happened before

Does that mean that Renato is out? I hope not, I liked him.

Let me clear up the picture that the reviewer so weakly painted...The new keyboard player has been with Prince for the past 6 months. His name is Chance and he was pulled from the most recent lineup of The Time...Renato is still our keyboard man and he tore up the place...If U get the chance, really listen to how much he adds to each song...From first seeing Renato on the ONA Tour and than again in Honolulu and Maui, this man is getting fierce! O yea and by the way, that white dude tore it up on stage...

Yo, I'm sorry for the "weak" report. It's just that after 3 hrs. of sleep within 24 hrs I was a little tired at the time I typed it.

Don't apologise! We've been waiting for someone to share the goods with us. No new songs? No "Musicology"?
