Sacto, CA: Prince "Best Pop Concert of 2001"

Sacramento (CA., USA) Bee, Pop Music writer, Chris Macias named Prince's 2001 concert at Sacramento's Memorial Auditorium, the "Large Venue Concert of the Year"
I have included the text below...

Best pop music concert (large venue)

Prince's show at the Memorial Auditorium on May 6 felt like a bona-fide event, rather than a mere concert. With Prince announcing the gig on just a few days' notice, local music fans went into a tizzy to score tickets -- and all 4,400 were gone in under an hour -- while some waited in line for 12 hours to get a choice view at the general admission show. Musically, the Purple One was electrifying. Prince and his New Power Generation took a turbo-charged tour through his greatest hits, including a mesmerizing version of "The Beautiful Ones" and a guitar-hero workout in "Let's Go Crazy." Call it a command performance for Prince's purple reign.
