Prince performed at Paisley Park on March 8

I also posted this in the news section but I gotta wait for its approval so until then here it is.
There's an article on about Prince performing at Paisley Park on http://www.jazzmagazine.com/ March, 8. The article is in French so I translated it so that you can read it. Here it is:

"A journalist from Saint-Paul Peter Cato attended a Prince concert at Paisley Park on March, 8. He says he was baffled by the concert and that the performance was tremendousThere's an article on http://www.jazzmagazine.com/. about Prince performing in Paisley Park on March,8. The article is in French so I translated the most interesting . The show began at 11PM in front of about 200 people. Renato Neto was on keyboardrs, Rhonda Smith on bass, John Blackwell on drums, the Hornheads on horns, Esther Godinez (friend of Sheila E's and ex-drumemr form George Benson), Eric Leeds on sax and a new guitar player from Los Angeles Ella King. Apart freom a few recent tracks : Avalanche, Mellow, Family Name, The Work and Have a Heart Prince only played new songs which may be on his next album that is said to be called "2000 Free : The Revelation Year". Funk and blues influences were even more present than on the One Nite Alone Tour. The concert started with a completly changed version of Kiss which sounded like a blues with a lot of horns. Also a alternative version of Shy with an accelerated beat. He performed other songs that he mentionned having rewritten : Dark, I Wish U Heaven, Walk Don't Walk, Willing And Able, Come, When U Love Somebody, I Feel For You, Little Red Corvette, Moonbeams Level and Paisley Park. He also covered three songs : Love Is The Answer by Todd Rundgren, Jesus by Curtis Mayfield and Too High by Stevie Wonder. Then he played six new songs entitled The War Script ( a very political song in which Prince says how much he is strongly opposed to George W. Bush, a very rock even hard rock track) , Love Stories (weird and sad electronic love song ) , I Ain't No Fool (more RnB, talking again about American domestic policy), Incantation ( a three-part instrumental song with once more very storngly engaged lyrics laughing at Black and White American paranoia), The Silent Majority and Wow( a gospel pop song close to Forever In My Life).
The concert ended at 01:15AM. Peter Cato doesn't know whether Prince upcoming concerts will sound the same, with the same setlist and even if the musicians will be the same... However he learned that the NPGMC is currently "under reconstruction" and that the new album is finished and should be out in June."
