Time for some math. Let's look up when each song was first released:

1999 - 1983
I Feel For You - 1979
Controversy - 1981
Sexy Dancer - 1980
Y U Wanna Treat Me So Bad ? - 1979

Take Me With U - 1984
Anotherloverholenyohead - 1986
Guitar - 2007
Raspberry Beret - 1985
Girl - 1985

All Day, All Night - 1987
I Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man - 1987
The 1 U Wanna C - 2007
Sometimes It Snows In April - 1986
Mountains - 1986

Partyman - 1989
Uptown - 1980
Let's Work - 1981
Kiss - 1986
Cool - 1981

All The Critics Love U In Paris - 1982
Cream - 1993
U Got the look - 1987

Now, to determine the average age of the songs played in this concert: determine the age of each song (year of concert - year of song's release), add all those number up, and divide by the number of songs in this concert.

2009 - ((
1983 + 1979 + 1981 + 1980 + 1979 +
1984 + 1986 + 2007 + 1985 + 1985 +
1987 + 1987 + 2007 + 1986 + 1986 +
1989 + 1980 + 1981 + 1986 + 1981 +
1982 + 1993 + 1987 ) / 23)

Let's use Google's calculator:
http://www.google.com/sea...+%2F+23%29

So the average age of the songs performed during this gig is: 22.8695652 years. Translation: on average each song played during this gig was about 23 years old. Which actually means plenty of them are even older, since this is an average. Two songs from 2007, one from 1993, and all others date back to the 1980s or even earlier.

For comparison: the average age of the songs performed for one of the Montreux gigs was 14.33333 years - see http://prince.org/msg/12/316300?&pg=4 .

Jesus christ get you facts straight.

There are so many errors above you should be ashamed.

Should I school you?

Sexy Dancer 1979
1999 1982
and you got the release of Cream wrong by two whole goddamn fucking years. IT was released in 1991.

And this coming from the biggest prick in Prince online fandom is just wonderful.

I was at the 5pm only - agree with much of what has been said, my main problem with the sound wasn't the sound itself, but that Prince was so obviously annoyed that it affected the performance (~ a dozen comments, including changing Raspberry Beret to "they say the sound ain't the greatest...")

Otherwise it was amazing, Especially Anotherlover..., Mountains and Girl. I never in my life thought I'd hear Girl live, what's next, Darling Nikki?? I just wish more of the audience had caught on to how unique the performance of that song was, I could not believe my ears.I don't have a problem with him changing a word or two here & there (he did on both Y U want to treat me so bad and I feel 4U) if he can do Girl live...

The crowd around me (ca 7-8m from stage) was nice and enthusiastic but did not respond well to the cues. I think it's partly a language issue, I heard some people singing lyrics which did not make sense but sounded ~80% right. They probably don't all speak English very well, if they had understood what he wanted them to sing or do, I'm pretty sure they would have.

I'm really glad I made the trip, even though I missed much of the UK contingent - I was expecting to see more people from London! Lots of love to all nice frogs met during the day !

hopefully we'll get to hear something of this stateside.
