zero Posted November 26, 2011 Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 This is my best stab at the setlist. I can't read my notes at a few points but I don't think I was certain of those titles. I'm sure there's a lot of blanks to fill in. The whole medley where he went to the baby grand but just used it as a synth and to trigger samples and sequences was just fucking redonculous.

zero Posted November 26, 2011 Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 I looked over that princevault setlist and the gaps in my squirrely notes make more sense. This is the compiled setlist the way we'd right it out. A lot of teases and interpolations need to be asterisked in. In Pop Life for instance I'd agree that Scrapple From The Apple was a brief interpolation - and uhm fucking Pop Life! Likewise in Musicology there was a tighten up tease or interpolation. I'd say though that they played Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough proper out of Cool - it was truncated but not embedded.Prince and the NPGAir Canada CentreToronto, Ontario11.25.11(partial setlist)DMSRPop Life Musicology (Maceo intro)We Live (2 Get Funky)A Million DaysLet's GoTake Me With U > Thunderstruck>Raspberry Beret>CreamCool> Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough ______YesterdayNothing Compares 2 ULet's Go CrazyDelirious> Controversy refrain1999Little Red Corvette>Slow Down______U Got The Look______Make You Feel My Love______Purple Rain______Kiss______When Dove's Cry______(grand piano sampler set)I Would Die 4 U> Darling Nikki>Sign O' The Times >The Most Beautiful Girl In The WorldSign> Hot Thing>SignI Would Die 4 U_____If I Was Your Girlfriend_____Sometimes It Snows In April_____The Bird>Jungle LovePlay That Funky Music _____Dance (Disco Heat)>Baby I'm A Star_____Adore_____Let's Work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zero Posted November 26, 2011 Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 He definitely psyched out good chunks of the audience who streamed out after what seemed like the arc of the show- Purple Rain closer, Kiss encore. Then Dove's Cry and the whole sampler mini set onslaught. "1 Got Too Many Hits!!!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaybone Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 We had so much fun on Friday night that we decided to do it again on Saturday! I thought Saturday's show was even better then Friday. Awesome weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaybone Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 Not much more to tell. Erin and I had a great time on Friday night. We woke up at the hotel and were talking about how cheap tickets were (considering i paid $200 each for the Friday show). We just said "Let's make it a great weekend!" so I fired up the computer, pricelined another room (We moved across the street from The Sheraton to the Hilton) and called a couple friends to see who wanted to party.Our friends Drew, Dawn, Auggie and Leiah wanted to go. Drew grabbed us some 10th row center tickets which came to $70/each (better seats then the previous night at a fraction of the price!).Erin and I checked out the One of a Kind Show- she spent a bunch of money, and then we had a wicked good dinner at Origin. The show was just really fun. Prince played a lot of guitar on Saturday and it ruled. On Friday he had Maceo Parker guest and it was real fun. On Saturday early on Prince says "I want to introduce a very special guest.... My guitar!" and proceeded to shred. I can't remember everything he played (a couple bottles of wine with dinner plus giant beers at the show left things a bit foggy) but it was a blast!

zero Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 I took a second or third stab at the setlist of the first night. I think people's ears, including mine play tricks on them, and memory informed by other people's memory's ingrains those tricks. For instance I don't think Dove's Cry was part of the sampler set. I think he played that proper from the centre of the T. That's my recollection. How many teases or interpolations you can pick out or others picked out is interesting.Prince and the NPGAir Canada CentreToronto, Ontario11.25.11Intro#We Live (2 Get Funky)#DMSR#>Pop Life*#> Musicology**#> A Million DaysLet's GoTake Me With U > Thunderstruck***>Raspberry Beret>CreamCool****> Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough ______YesterdayNothing Compares 2 ULet's Go Crazy>Delirious> Controversy refrain> Let's Go Crazy>1999Little Red Corvette>Slow Down______U Got The Look______Make You Feel My Love****Purple Rain#______Kiss______When Dove's Cry______(grand piano sampler set)Nasty Girl (instrumental)>Sign O' The Times> Darling Nikki>The Most Beautiful Girl In The WorldSign> Hot Thing>SignI Would Die 4 U> Housequake (horn riff)> Darling Nikki (instrumental)>Mr. Goodnight (instrumental)>Shockadelica (instrumental)If I Was Your Girlfriend#_____Sometimes It Snows In April_____The Bird****>Jungle Love****Play That Funky Music# _____Dance (Disco Heat)******>Baby I'm A Star_____Adore_____Let's Work##w.
