Report on MGM Grand Garden soundcheck

[pre:0deadbeef0]
MGM Grand Garden Arena, Las Vegas/NV
29.05.1999

The soundcheck lasted from 1430 to 1800. prince was present most of the time. The firs
1.5 hours were mainly focused on Larry's opening set; Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice
Elf Agin) was rehearsed intensively, because at the shows they played it in a
different arrangement: the original version instead of the funked-up version with the
Days Of Wild beat. A lot of attention was also given to the opener of prince's set, an
instrumental intro plus Sign O' The Times.
