I love the way this song feels when I put it on...It's a sexy jazz jacket.

Anyway, I love it so much that I thought about building a tour concept around this song.

"10" years from now, Prince and the band will be older. It would be nice to have an intimate stage setting. A tall mantle stage left with icicle like flames that carry blue and yellow lights that rise about 5 feet. Stage right could be a long tall water bubble tank, with primarily blue lights. (Sea-Green) lavendar...

The stage could have two tall pub tables for "4" background singers, two at each table.

The drummer could sit on a tall couch.

Prince could sit in a nice light blue velvet chair.

The guitar players...I'm not really sure about their chairs...

Occassionally the members can stand and mingle on the stage.

So, here is a set-list for a hypothetical, "When the Lights Go Down," tour of 2021.

~Get Blue

~So Blue

~When the Lights Go Down

~Satisfied

~Damn U

~Gotta Broken Heart Again

~Dionne

~Shy

~Willing and Able

~Somewhere Here On Earth

~Adore

~Slow Love

~Mellow

~Reflection

~Love like Jazz

~The One

~Call My Name

~On the Couch

~The Other Side of the Pillow

Limit the encore to two songs....that's it...A timed/get off the stage in 90 minutes gig.

~Extraordinary

~Just as Long as We're 2gether

By the way, hypothetically, I'm the stage manager.

I mean icicle flames like a fire place, from the ground up...with a mantle.

This doesn't exist yet.

i don't know whether i could keep my eyes open for 90 mins with that setlist, a tad slow for me

Awwe...

I'm sure a bed wouldn't be to far away from the venue...

I think there's a lot of people that would love a slow sexy evening.

It's ten years down the road remember.

I like the idea, but your description of it as '10 years later with everyone older' makes it sound like putting a pillow over the face of a frail elderly relative.

Thanks 4 your responses...

Taking it easy is what it is all about. We will all be ten years older...

Those of us with a wild hair that night can dance to "Let's Go Crazy," in the parking lot.

I just get this vision of a nice, laid-back, jazzy, under-the-sea...type of feeling. Nice and Cool.

bobbyperu~U'd be there.

I absolutely LOVE this song. I think its THE most underrated tune in Prince's catalog...it soooo smooth. I dig your tour idea...I think he was kinda going in this direction with One Night Alone tour...but even that one he had us stretch a little bit with 1+1+1=3 and a few other upbeat tunes. The funk always will sneak in somehow, someway at a Prince show.

yea i'd love a show like this, all slowed down & stuff. he can then move about the stage all slow & sexy so he can save his energy, then he can make lots of cum faces & humping guitar/shaking maracas

I love this song too. Maybe you're right about the funk sneakin' in...

There are nights when couples would want a slow romantic thing...That's why I put, "Just as long as We're together," as the last song, because it picks up the crowd to walk them out the door...

And maybe a 2 hour show would be better.

Well that would mean traveling with "White Shag," rug.
