I have tickets for Cincinnati that I cant use. Let me know if anyone wants them.

Thanks for this Latin! I really want to go and hear this rendition but I haven't seen any word on added dates that include the west coast at all.

Went last night in Lynn, MA and had a blast. Audience was cheering and dancing. It's a celebration of the man's music and it's fun. Prince's drum machine is the back bone to a lot of the songs and there are a few where the symphony plays along to live recordings of the Revolution.

The 15 minute closer of Purple Rain is pretty epic.

Recording coming soon.

Damn, publishing the set list gives it away. This thing is emotional and meant to please the hard core too... I mean... “It Ain’t Over Till The Fat Lady Sings”? They freaking played the entire unbroken sequence of the opening of Parade, with the full Clare Fisher arrangements. They actually stop playing to show the famous clip of Prince performing “Baby I’m a Star” from the Purple Rain tour... in respect... like Behold! And there is a drummer, saxophone, keyboardist, so it’s more like a beat driven Prince concert than you might think. It’s full speed.

I am so sad I have tickets but cannot go....

Too bad the tour isn't more extensive in the U.S..

I'm glad it seems better than what I feared.
I'm curious about "All My Dreams".

I need a west coast date.

i went to the show Saturday night in Lynn, MA too and I have a little bit of a different take. The music was good, but it felt strange to watch Prince's music and seeing random video's of him throughout the show. The Orchestra did a fantastic version of "The Beautiful Ones" and they also did some long versions of some of the songs that the audience seemed to lose (Let go Crazy and Little Red Corvette) seemingly because they only know the regular versions (i personally thought that was great), and at the end a truly fantastic version of Purple Rain (with Prince singing and video and everything). I walked out feeling a little disappointed and missing Prince's voice during most of the songs

Who's going to the European leg of the tour ?

Brussels, anyone ? November 27th

I'm seriously doubting...

Yikes!

Dissed to the Max.
FYI Columbus Alive is a free weekly newspaper.

Glad that somebody caught it. What a horrible article. If Prince fans that went to this event liked it that's all that matters.

Exactly...and it sounds like "by the end people were dancing and singing, and even offering clamorous applause during bows" people did enjoy themselves, so who cares what that writer had to say.

Issues ranging from the lack of a program, sparse merchandise, low-quality video production and a legally non-contentious song selection expose “4U” as an attempt to keep overhead low while rushing a product to market.

Ouch.
