Set-list Compiled of Just the Last 15 Years

Quite often it's pointed out that Prince plays too much old stuff, only to have someone then chalenge that and say that if he played new stuff, the shows would be bad. I dissagree. So, using only songs released since 2000, what would your set-list look like?

Here's mine,

1. Lolita/ Lavaux

2. Boyfriend/ Ain't Gonna Miss U When You're Gone/ Extralovable

3. Colonized Mind

4. Satisfied

5. Walk In The Sand

6. Hardrocklover

7. Layadown

8. Fury

9. When I Lay My Hands On You

10. Black Sweat/ Love

11. Musicology

12. Groovy Potential

13. Feel Better, Feel Good

14. The Gold Standard

15. This Could Be Us

16. Way Back Home/ Time

17. $/ Love Like Jazz

18. Reflection

19. The Word

20. Dreamer


Always cry 4 love, never cry 4 pain.

It would take at least 10 but more like 20 shows to hear these newish songs in current live appareances if he would do them all in sequence in his hits setlist.

This is as P plays 90+% hits.

And hits only.

Pills and thrills and daffodils will kill... If you don't believe me or don't get it, I don't have time to try to convince you, sorry.

Pick half of those songs and you'd have a great show.

I'd be all for:

1/ Shows mainly focused on the latest album(s)

2/ More rarities from P's past catalogue, particularly 1996-2015 given that many songs from that era have never been played live at all

3/ A few hits a show to make mainstream audiences happy since it unfortunately seems necessary

.

P said that his audience wants the hits but I don't think the ONA tour was porrly received by its audience, on the contrary, so IDK what's with these nostalgy "best of" setlists.
