I agree; Sign/Play in the Sunshine really brought that house down. My favorite version of Sign 'o' the Times is the version that he played here/on the SOTT tour. I love

that guitar intro, that fragile beat, the "oh yeah" intro. Probably my favorite performance of any Prince song, ever.

I'm the first mammal to wear pants.

Don't forget the band coming through the crowd with the snare drums at the end.

Check out The Mountains and the Sea, a Prince podcast by yours truly and my wife. More info at https://www.facebook.com/TMATSPodcast/

Anyway -- this performance was really killer. Not many people can create as much excitement as he can with his live performances. You just never know what he's gonna do next.
