Prince in London

Posted over 2 years ago
Prince at the O2 Arena, London, England, August 25, 2007.I am embarrassed to say that before this show I had never seen Prince before - but that's behind me now so let's not speak of it again...This show was around #16 of Prince's "21 Nights in London" residency at the O2 Arena. Upon entering the arena and passing through the turnstiles attendees were handed a copy of Prince's new CD, Planet Earth. Pretty much the only way I was gonna hear the new music but I am listening to it now...SetlistPlanet Earth 1999 Take Me with U Guitar Cream U Got the Look Shhh Musicology Chants of Maaaceo, Freaks are on this side, and Funky London Honky Tonk Woman (yes, Stones cover)The Long and Winding Road (yes, Beatles cover)Prince solo on Piano: Little Red Corvette (full) Diamonds And Pearls (first verse and chorus) The Beautiful Ones Condition of The Heart Do Me Baby How Come U Don't Call Me Anymore Sometimes It Snows In April Back with the Full Band: If I Was Your Girlfriend Black Sweat Kiss Purple Rain Encore:I Feel 4 UControversy (w/Housequake chant) Second Encore:Crazy (yes, Gnarls Barkley cover)Nothing Compares 2 UDownloadsThese are from Planet Earth, the CD handed out at the show, not recordings from the show itself...Planet EarthGuitar

  1. mister gary at work again says Killer setlist. I remember seeing Prince for the first time a few years ago ... I was giddy about it for DAYS afterward (and actually, I'm wearing the 'True Funk Soldier' t-shirt from the gig today, heh).
