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 .

Who can spot the glaring errors posted in Barts list?

Let me guess..It's not 14.33333, but 14.33334 years..?

This really didn't need it's own thread.

Couldn't you have posted this in the appropriate thread? You took up valuable thread space that King662 could have used.
