Prince at the Hydro

Quite simply the was a stunning gig (following another equally superb gig Jason Isbell which I will post about later).

The set list was as follows and you can see he did not hang about.



Lets Go Crazy
Take Me With U
Raspberry Beret
U Got The Look (no Sheena!)
Musicology
Feel Good
Kiss
The Love We Make
Funkroll

When Doves Cry
Song O The Times
Hot thing
Forever In My Life
I Would Die 4 U

Controversy
1999
Little Red Corvette
Nothing Compares 2 U

Guitar
Plectrum Electrum
Crimson and Clover
Sometimes It Snows In April

Diamonds and Pearls - piano solo
The Beautiful Ones - piano solo
Purple Rain - piano intro then full band

Play that funky music
Live It Up

Housequake

A wee word of caution on the set list in that some of the songs were snippets/samples but that is not a complaint as it was very effective.

highlights? Too many to mention but the four song intro was hard to top. Purple rain just class with outstanding playing all night from the band - and Prince can really play the guitar.
