Sounds like a fair assessment to me, it's not like Jon trashed the entire event and had nothing positive to say whatsoever. On the flip side, I'm sure some of the people hyping it up are 1) still buzzing from the excitement of being there having not worn off yet, and 2) mentally justifying the amount of money they had to spend to attend this concert in the first place.

Exactly. Jon Bream's review isn't negative;

"The band was terrific. The set list had enough deep tracks to appease the biggest Prince diehards. This is the kind of thing you’d expect as the pinnacle of Prince Celebration 2026."

It just points out the things he feels are under expectation, or overdoen, mostly compared to the ExceL Energy Center 6 months earlier.

Why were Dr. Finkk, Wendy and Brownmark, (even Susannah) not there?

Or the other The Time members?

No St. Paul this time as well?

Eric leeds would've been a great guest for panel discussions... Taking really about music...
