On the plus side, even though I didn't know the songs, I thought a few of the R&B slow-burners he sang were pretty sexy. And Prince is still undoubtedly in fine voice. Plus Chaka Khan! But on the minus side, uh, everything else. Especially the endless keyboard solos. If it's any consolation, I read that the first show had atrocious sound and was a letdown despite being filled with hits. Yeah, it was lame.

Sorry to hear he made even that suck. When I read “Sometimes it Snows in April” in the setlist, I thought there might be hidden luck in your show. Sorry to hear he made even that suck.

That's no way to treat fans, especially ones who dish out $150 per tix. Marc was also thoroughly disappointed with the show, and he loves Prince too.

I would kill to hear a straight-up version of "Sometimes It Snows in April" live. But every song was done in a jazzy jazz version with the Casiotone melodian sound taking the lead and Prince dropping some improv vocals over the top when he felt like it. It still gives me nightmares to think about it. If they were just slow jams, that would’ve been one thing. I would kill to hear a straight-up version of “Sometimes It Snows in April” live.

If slow jams constitute "jazz", then what is his idea of "rock"? A ho-down? I’m dying to know what his “rock” set list is. If slow jams constitute “jazz”, then what is his idea of “rock”? A ho-down?

And I don't just mean the part where you paid $300 to go see Prince! heh heh See, this is why it pays to be old and boring like me, NO WAY would I have ever chosen the late show!! I would have been there happily boppin' to the classics at 7pm! Wow, that is completely unbelievable!
