prince ROCKED the house tonight. thank god because i've seen him a few times prior in the last ten years and have been sorely disappointed.
2.5 hours of great music. though the sound was really f'd for the first 20 minutes. surprising because the mci generally has a decent sound system. strange, but true!
he did nearly 40 minutes of acoustic stuff, with an absolutely breath taking version of "adore". "pop life" was fabulous as well, with the band.
he has maceo parker on tour with him, plus another sax player and a trombone player.
he was on at 8.20, with a 7.30 posted time on the tickets so for those of you going fri/sat, i think you'd be safe getting there around 8.45 if the posted time is 8 pm.
its center stage too so if your seats are in the middle of the mci, like ours were, you'll have a great view. video screens in all 4 directions.
there are lots of ticket scalpers outside so if you don't have tickets yet, i think you could get some, less than face value. also, remember that the ticket price includes musicology.
i'm thinking about going again tommorow or saturday. though i really want to watch the opening ceremonies.
