I think its amazing that...

Prince doesn't have a set list for his shows. I read somewhere that he made his band learn 150 songs just so he could go with whatever he felt like.

I went to see him on the 9th September, my sister went the week before and I was amazed to discover that he does different songs everynight. Its such a breath of fresh air to go and see an artist who isn't doing the same dance routines/songs each time.

I went to see Justin Timberlake in May and that was great (dont get me wrong Im a huge JT fan) but when I looked for videos of the concert on youtube each opening night was the same old routine-whereas Prince starts with a different opening each night.

Admittedly those who have seen Prince .live a couple of times might be used to his impulsiveness but since it was my first time I sat there for half the night in complete awe of the man!
Oh Princey if your free for a couple of hours...If you aint busy for the next 7 years...Lets Pretend were married, and go all night..

He does have a setlist - they were ripping them off the floor of the stage at the end last night. Sorry to burst any bubbles. lol

Not a set list as I understand it-the same songs in the same order every night.

Oh right - well he sort of does, except it's a huge list so he picks his favs. lol

But yes, it's great that he prepares so many songs - but I always look at having no setlist as meaning you choose what to play whilst out on stage.

no Im sure he must decide before he gopes on stage what hes going to play each night, I just meant the fact that he opens with different songs each night and performs different stuff each night.

Like on the night I went he opened with lets go crazy but the night my sister went he opened with 1999-and he did stuff on her night that he didnt do on my night and vice versa.
