Prince Concert: Your ideal set list I would love to hear your opinions.
I've started mine, but haven't finished it.
Can you tell me, what normally is the ideal amount of songs for a concert. Then I'll know when I am then finished.

Really fun that you posted this, this past weekend I was bored so I created the ideal Prince concert experience, right down to what he'd wear and everything. I have a 21 song set list, with 3 outifit changes and 2 encores, each with 2 songs performed. During his breaks, I have other songs being performed. I wanted a mix of old and new, guitar and piano, dancing, funk, ballads, rock...all of Prince wrapped in 1 concert. Makes a great playlist! Here goes my idea...
-Opens with Pink Cashmere (has a female dancer and he puts a pink cashmere coat on here while she dances around with him), ends with nice guitar solo.
-Future Baby Mama
-Let's Have a Baby
-Hot Thing
-Lolita (female leaves the stage)
-Let's Go Crazy
-Cream
-Endorphinemachine (after a kick ass guitar solo, break time for Prince, outfit change)
-Female comes back on with backup singers and perform Do Me Baby and Kept Woman
-Prince comes back with Sign of the Times
-Musicology
-5 Women (Girl sits on piano while Prince sings)
- If I Was Your Girlfriend
- Blue Light (Similar performance to the Arsenio performance, then Girl Leaves)
-The Love We Make (Prince leaves for another break and outfit change)
-Backup singers sing Lady Marmalade, then female comes back and does Anytime, Anyplace by Janet
-Prince comes back with Call My Name
-Somebody's Somebody (Long Guitar solo)
-Future Soul Song (Prince slowly goes into next song..)
-Colonized Mind
-Beginning Endlessly (At the end Prince puts guitar down and calls for sexy dancers )
-Love (audience members come on stage and dance with Prince)
-Kiss (Audience leaves, Prince does amazing dance, then Goodnight! Prince changes outfit)
-Audience shouts for encore, Prince comes back with the female and does Joy in Repetition (with girl dancing like Aura in GB) and Purple Rain with amazing guitar solos on each, then goodnight..
-Audience wants more, Prince and female comes back and sits down at the piano and does beautiful versions of Little Red Corvette and Electric Intercourse. He leaves the audience in awe, goodnight!
- Prince is GORGEOUS. I'm inspired. GOD is GREAT. Is there anything else to say? lol | |

Prince usually plays a 2hr show to work in old and new stuff plus improvistaions and jams, so an exact number of tunes might be hard 2 nail down. lol In between the well known stuff, I'd love 2 hear him tap in2 some fan favs and lesser known songs too.
Why U Wanna Treat Me So Bad? Partyman Musicology/Jam Of The Year Facedown Let's Work I'm Yours/The Best Of You SexyDancer/Good Times LadyCabDriver I Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man When Doves Cry (With the bass line he took out) Pop Life Controversy/Hot Thing Uptown/Roller Coaster Of Love
Acoustic Set-Audience dialouge Purple Rain Another Lonley Christmas Adore Somebody's Somebody She Love's Me 4 Me Girl (The Time's version)
House lights go out for a beat and then we hear "It's been seven hours and thirteen days"....
Nothing Compares 2U She Spoke 2 Me/Sexy MF/It's About That Walk (with the horns) Futurebabymama U Make My Sunshine/Untitled (How Does It Feel?) Pope/We March Funky Stuff Fury/She's Not There Te Amo Corazon Into The Light 5 Women/I'm Still In Love With You Heartbreaker Live 4 Love I Will
Encore I Would Die 4 U/Baby I'm A Star Kiss Joy In Repetition/Pink Cashmere 7

I highly doubt he could fit all these songs in, so some of them could be bunched into a medley or two, if need be. Notice that for some tunes, I indicated that a "tease" would suffice, since they are too naughty to perform in full!
No More Candy 4 U Peach Controversy (including instrumental breakdown of Head) She’s Always in My Hair Joy In Repetition A Case of U Little Red Corvette Automatic (tease) Do Me, Baby Shhh The Morning Papers The Beautiful Ones If I Was Your Girlfriend When Doves Cry Sticky Like Glue DMSR Act of God (segues into…) America Still Would Stand All Time Kiss The Question of U Bob George (tease) Computer Blue Pop Life The Ballad of Dorothy Parker Anna Stesia ENCORE ONE: Days of Wild ENCORE TWO: Purple Rain

A long version of Private Joy. After reading another thread about this song, it reminded me how much I dig the sound(s). I think a long, extended version of this song would do it. It has everything | |

Love this topic.
I liked the thunderclaps he used for W2A, so I'd keep those
Thunder FX w/DAT intro (1999 spoken intro, Partyup Chant, etc) 1. Controversy (Guitar intro) 2. Sexy Dancer (with or without Le Freak) 3. Act Of God (Sexy Dancer breaks down to the kickdrum and clap for segue) 4. Kiss (exact version from 20ten and W2A) Costume Change, Piano interlude 5. The Beautiful Ones 6. Adore 7. Do Me, Baby 8. Head/Lady Cab Driver (Medley, like 1999 tour rehearsal) 9. Uptown/Cool/Let's Work/777-9311 (Medley, Prince Bass Solo on 777) 10.No More Candy 4 U More thunder and smoke 11.Let's Go Crazy 12.1999 13. Sexuality (segue from 1999 guitar breakdown, and leave the 1999 Linn Drum in) 14.For Love 15.Cream (keep interpolation from For Love) Thunder returns once more 16.Gold 17.Purple Rain
End of Main Set... Encore #1 All The Critics Love U In NY (regardless of the city he's playing) A Love Bizarre (Bass & Guitar Solo intro) Mountains Gett Off (Jam of the Year version)
Encore #2 When Doves Cry (like Musicology tour version, but includes song's end with guitar solo segueing the track into...) Guitar Endorphinemachine
Final Encore An extended rendition of the 1986 version of We Can Funk "GARSON! Avez-Vous un crayon? That's French, understand?" | |
