A bit sappy I know, but I've just listened to bits and bobs of a recording from the San Fransisco show (Naughty I know and following the sight's rules, I'm unable to say where) and my god my neck is killing me!

I think after the last few years of a lot of people criticising his shows (which yes a lot of them were repetitive hit shows I'll admit) I think the man has finally proven why he is and will always be the ultimate musician and live performer. The choice of songs and their arrangements are something else. I was a tad skeptical with the video of Bambi initially, but as I had anticipated it was just early days and the band needed more time to get in tune with each other.

These shows have looked incredible just from looking at their set lists, but actually hearing it is making me go mental and again realising why I idolise this guy! I really hope this tour will expand worldwide, cause I think Prince has pulled something incredible out of the bag.

Lol means fun in Dutch, but I don't think that's the answer. But I'm sure we're all very grateful it was forgotten...

well, i personally love these DNA recordings. can't say where i got em but they're all that. i need this tour in Philly or at least NY

AND ANYBODY WHO DOUBTS THIS BAND IS CRAZY! ISN'T THE RAWNESS OF THE MUSIC WHY YOU LIKED THE DIRTY MIND BAND AND THE REVOLUTION? THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT IT IS!

I must day, after listening to the DNALOL boots I must say this is the best I've heard prince live in YEARS!!! In-flipping-credible!!! This band is awesome I REALLY HOPE HE BRINGS THIS TOUR TO FL (with cheaper ticket prices lol)

It might be raw, but nothing compares to the DM band and the music/songs they played.

I think that was my favorite band

I need to find this ! Thanks for the heaeds up.

Amazing tour! I just hope Prince realizes that many of us fans appreciate and love him for bringing us such a spectacular tour. Thank you Prince and 3rdeyegirl!!

I'm loving the boots from it so far. I hope he adds some more dates a little closer to the Chi. That version of She's Always In My Hair alone is worth the price of admission imo.

i was playing Dakota 5 and 6 to death. These new boots are amazing.

I'm really loving most of the Dakota and San Fan stuff. I've compiled them, and they are in heavy rotation in my car and home.

I am digging these two, they are just awesome - come back to Australia Prince, we can do with some funky times again !!

the Vegas shows are out and so is an Arizona show. i'm loving this band and concept.

I am absolutely loving the boots of this tour! When W're Dancing Close & Slow, Cause and Effect, The Love We Make, 2Y2D, FixUrLifeUp - these have so much energy, Prinec is inspired again. I have to say he is sounding fresher than he has for the longest time and his vocals are on point.

If/ when he comes to the Uk with this tour I will definately be there! How can some of you guys spin so much negativity - listen to this stuff and just imagine actually being there - the energy is electric.

On repeat and a big smile on my face

Not sure I agree. Listening to 3121 Las Vegas Vol. 8 at the moment and I think it's so much better.

great tour

great band

he doesn't need 14 people on stage all trying to get paid - this proves it

but he needs to drop the Cars cover "Let's Go" and bring back Whole Lotta Love or All Along the Watchtower

excellent band. excellent concept. if anything, add more songs for him to play: The Ride, Shhh, Little Red Corvette, Villanova Junction, The Cross (let the audience sing the chorus), Electric Chair, Red House, Just My Imagination, Santana Medley, etc. and less sampler.
