Listening to the 23rd March 1995 Emporium show in London!

During Glam Slam Boogie:

"Tommy who does your hair?"

"Your mama..."

"My mama? Well it aint about my mama tonight, its about that piano..."

Great show, with fucking brilliant versions of Bambi, Days of Wild and Sexy MF aswell.

I agree, the Emporium boot is a great one.

I love during the first show, the band play Get Wild, and when Mayte jumps into the audience, Prince can be heard shouting "save the baby, save the baby."

"Mayte say we cant leave till we hit Get Wild"

OHHHHhhhhhh, the 1994-6 NPG era. Gold Experience, Days of Wild, Chaos & Disorder, Exodus, Come, endless outakes, amazing live shows, Prince at his most obscene... they WERE the days of wild!

You know Prince has a massive picture of that band at Paisley Park, apparently he saus they were the most fun band he ever had!

I can quite believe it.

Another good set from that period is the Amsterdam Paradiso aftershows '95.

Not quite as good sound quality, but top shows all the same.

Someone should tell Prince to take the hint that two of his best tours were the ones where he mostly playing new material and very few hits appeared. The Ultimate Live Experience tour, ALL NEW stuff. Bootleggers dream at the time lol. But still, a pretty daring move from Prince. And then the One Nite Alone tour where most of The Rainbow Children was played.

I mean, who really see's Musicology or 21 Nights as his best tours. Imagine if he toyre 20ten or Lotusflow3r properly, eg plying 80% of the album??!! It'd be a lot more interesting then Purple Rain, Kiss, Lets go Crazy, Cream...

I could not agree more, it's time for a fan pleasing tour i think.

But then not all fans would be happy with our idea of a setlist.

I'm still hopefull that he will one day do a tour along the lines of the ONA gigs.

He can't churn out this setlist forever............can he?

Some artists are still playing hits from over 40 years ago. Prince's hits are more like 15-30 years time lol

The hits wouldnt be a problem if he kept rotating them. He doesnt play Thieves in the temple, 7, WDC, TMBGITW, ICNTTPOYM enough and then he performs some of the other hits excessively.

Well, yeah, the thing is, Prince has so many 'hits' half of them dont get a look in. When Doves Cry and Sign o The Times havent been played since the Musicology tour. This current tour (the second half of the 20ten tour) really has been poor to be honest, the medley of Uptown, Raspberry Beret, cream, lets work and u got the look is pathetic. Each song is about 1 minute ten seconds. The current setlist has to be the worst ever. Even this summers set had a few interesting choices like Ol' Skool Company and Mountains

I havent seen much of the tour, but i am not a fan of medleys in general. I'd like to hear the whole thing. Another thing about the hits is songs like gett off, the kind of songs that he doesnt play anymore. And ofcourse the hits that he doesnt play enough of.
