What do you think he'll play?

Maybe The Everlasting Now? Could imagine he'll play maybe Take Me With U/Raspberry Beret, too. But I think it's most probably gonna be better than last time, though the second night was cool.

It's a tough call because I think it all depends on what Prince thinks will sell his Live set.

I think he should play an unforgettable medly of songs to remind folks of his talent. Not necessarily some rehash of his hits, but something that will bring the audience alive like opening with Days of Wild, then doing A Case of U to pull in the ladies, you all know they'll be runnin out to purchase that one! biggrin

Unfortunately they'll get to the store, find out A Case Of U isn't on the set, and leave empty-handed...

Days Of Wild would be great, but that's not on the set either, I think.

Joy In Repetition would be the bomb!!!

Wouldn't it be great if he played like Joy In Repatition (-sp) or Empty Room. I can't wait to see!

He will play something obscure I bet..maybe a reworking of a past familiar hit like he did with Dorothy Parker. JIR stands a good chance though.

I'd love to see him perch himself on a stool, a single spotlight hit him, the rest of the place dark and quiet, and just bust into an acoustic version of Pink Cashmere.

I don't think that song got a fair chance when it was released as a single back in the early 90s. The lyrics are so quirky and engaging, i think they would stand out more that way.

A piano medley such as what he did on the LoveSexy Tour would shut it down too. wink

Speaking of piano, if he lit the place with candles and did Power Fantastic I would be in heaven.

Better that than "The Rainbow Children" or "Xenophobia" with all it's babbling though.

I think you've got it. I expect he'll play this - probably without the WNPG routine, though - I doubt that would work on NBC.

Seriously doubt he will play DP since he played it the last time he was on Leno.. The first night he played The Work and DP on the 2nd...

It would be really great to hear him do one song on accoustic guitar. Maybe this is a possibility since he was doing an accoustic set in Europe this month.

If not, I think I'd love to hear 'The Last December'.

That would be incredible.

He'll probably play a 400minute version of xenophobia with ten minute solos on every instrument ever invented.
I woke up sunday morning with no way to hold my head that didn't hurt
and the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad so I had one more for dessert

I would assume he wants to go on there to promote his new stuff. what would be the reason for playing raspberry beret etc? he should show ppl how far he's come, and how much better he is, how different, his new genre's, his maturity in the way of the ways of his great band, and no more sleezy antics and dancers. i would hope he drops avalanche and anything real controversial that pushes peoples buttons the wrong way. 1+1+1 is 3, everlasting now, mellow, rainbow children, xenophobia, days of wild, along those lines. muse, ppl wouldnt understand. she loves me 4 me is good. how much time will they give him? enough 4 1-2 songs. they need 2 make an impression. he'll probobly do rainbow children.
May the BELLS ring 4 U even when ur not in love. hug kisses

I really don't have a guess because I figure he won't know until a few days before since he seems to change his mind a lot. I personally would like to hear "The Ladder". Or, it would be neat if he did a medley of sorts so he could promote new and old songs songs all at once while making everyone guess what little snippet would be coming up next. biggrin

I'm inclined to think it will be one big NPGMC commercial
tagged at the end of a cool live song.

He'll want some more people to sign up for the live box.


yup

But what I really want to know is if they'll make us all
wait until 3 or 4 days after the performance before they
send the box out.

You know, so that they'll be able to send packages to the
'latest edition' members at the same time...


yup again

my first impulse without any real thought would be either Xenophobia ... or Strange Relationship ...
