I attended the show Fri 4/22 and was HIGHLY disappointed. Prince only played for about an hour and a half. Mint Condition opened for him & they played for about the same time. I'm a big Prince lover and have seen about 6 shows - this was the shortest and most disappointing. I haven't read all the posts, but did anyone else feel the same?

After it was over (he gave 2 small encores) people seemed to be in disbelief that it was over & people weren't leaving. After 30-40 minutes security started telling people to leave. Very sad. I was so glad I only paid for the $25 seats. If I paid more I would have been PISSED!

His duet with Alicia Keys was awesome, though.

Having flown in from Sydney to see the 4/22 Friday show I have to agree that it was short. My expectations were met, but not surpassed. It was short and sweet, a good mix of songs, but you could tell that by Purple Rain his voice was straining.

With the audience sticking around for an hour after the show waiting for something, anything - Prince appeared riding a bike through the floor area and like the show itself it was a blink and you'll miss it moment.

Thankfully, I grabbed tickets to the Saturday night show and witness a 3 hour epic performance. It was beyond great with a mix of songs that satisfied the casual fan as well as the hardcore type that would fly half way round the world to catch a show

To compare setlists - 19 to 31 songs...

Here is the Friday night: http://www.setlist.fm/set...39098.html

Here is the Sat night: http://www.setlist.fm/set...39262.html

All said I am glad I made the trip. Back home now.

More dates added May 5, 6 and 7th>>>>>>>>$25. go to ticketmaster.

I hate Madison Square Garden for not allowing him to do this in NY!! I could have seen all 21 nights for what I paid for 1 show...

In the words of Florida Evans: " damn, Damn, DAMN"

Sounds like a personal problem. You probably could fly to L.A., stay at the Marriott, eat some sushi, and catch 3 Prince shows for less than the cost of 2 VIPs in NY...but who's being technical?

I was told he was sick. I went again and he killed it... 3.40 hours

I went to the midnight show (scheduled for 11pm); I'm going to write more about it in its own thread, but let me just say: INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!!

OK, since there is currently no-one looking after the Concert's forum, here is a catch all thread for the LA Shows. The thread title states most of what is known right now except that the $25.00 price point is the starting price for tickets. I'm sure you can spend more if you wish.

We'll update this thread with more as it is known.

Did anybody paid for 21 days to see each shows? And how fun was the show?

UMMM, Shouldn't this be in the Concerts Thread??? LOL... OMG... from a moderator, no less!

I just got back from tonight's show and it was nothing short of amazing and entertaining! I can't even begin to describe the energy in the forum tonight! Not one dull moment!

Not to mention Prince is an ASSHOLE on that guitar!

I have no clue on the "official" number show, but it was his final show last night at the Forum...

Any one know if that final night at the forum was show 21?

I know he played Thur/Fri/Sat - so it would mean 7 weeks - which seems about right.

Can anyone confirm?

04/14 one show

04/21, 22, 23 (3)

04/28,29,30 (3)

05/5, 6, 7 (3)

05/13, 14 (2)

05/27, 28, 29 (3)

Only 15 shows at the forum. There were 3 shows at the house of blues and I believe there were only 2 shows at the troubador, which would make 20 total. I may be missing something. He also did 2 shows up north

Oh, and according to my friend who went on Sunday, that was show 21

Were the house of blues shows considered part of 21 Nights - or seen as side shows.

5/28/2011 show was amazing. Mary J Blige was the opening act.

Wikipedia shows 4 up north that were considered part of the 21 nights. So, I think the two at the troubadour were included and the house of blues shows were not. That would make 21: the 15 at the forum the 4 up north and the 2 at the troubador
