Was it just one big medley? Because that is the kind of BS he has pulled the last two times I saw him.

cool setlist would love to hear a piano only "breakdown"

Update – Tuesday, February 9th at 3:05 p.m. CT: Prince has denied his interest in doing a Hendrix covers set.

man he was good live last week in oakland.

also, having finally, after all of these years, listened to "Come", I kind of can't believe this isn't widely considered one of Prince's very best albums.

oh man i had a prince week. went to the paramount show and the after show at great american that ended at 4am. holy shit still coming down.

was at oracle. so good.

XP Come is great and arguably ripe for a reappraisal. His mid- to late-90s work, so brilliantly captured on The Dawn bootleg, remains my favourite period.
― doug watson, Tuesday, 8 March 2016 01:21 (ten years ago)
Me too on the love for that album, it's drastically underrated
― ulysses, Tuesday, 8 March 2016 02:08 (ten years ago)
The Dawn bootleg... sounds interesting! Do I sign up for a Prince forum or is it available elsewhere?

i can't figure out how to download anything from that site.
― akm, Tuesday, 8 March 2016 15:27 (ten years ago)
The site owner puts a link in the comments to each post which leads to a page where the download links reside.
Also, keep an eye on the Son Of Readers Links page where people post scads of stuff, e.g. a dude working his way through what seems to be the entire NWW List,,,

I'm always torn when people say how awesome Prince was on such and such night, because the last three times I saw him he was insufferable. Didn't play guitar, ceded vox to his backup singers, played his hits in weird rhythm box driven medleys, had a huge horn section that did nothing. I've also seen him be incredible, just not recently.
― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 8 March 2016 16:32 (ten years ago)
ok yeah finally got ahold of the dawn and it's a great distillation of all of that stuff. really puts everything into an interesting context that flows very well. his output is so confusing and jumbled although it's fine to just throw that shit on and listen I suppose.

“He’s a good critic,” Prince said. “That’s what I need. He’s not a yes man at all.”
