Anyone seeing Prince this weekend @ MCI?

yeah the sound was surprisingly bad .... they should have had more speakers aimed directly at the upper levels, instead of just toward the lower sections.  Still, it was a rockin' good show, and Prince is a marvel.  The acoustic set was awesome, especially "Cream", "Adore" and "Sweet Thing".  My fave tunes of the night were "Pop Life", "Controversy", and "DMSR".  Plus tantalizing bits of "I Could Never Take the Place of Your Man" and "Sometimes it Snows in April" .. maybe he'll do those tonight and tomorrow.  Enjoy !!

I went on Saturday night, at the last second. I got good seats though, 400 level but in the first row, so we had no one blocking us, and i think the sound was better than if we'd been higher up.  It wasnt the best, but i wont complain.
 
  Prince is the man, and one of the best guitar players around.  i didnt know too much of the stuff.  A Medley of hits in the early goings and then some stuff at the end.
 
  I like the acoustic stuff the best, along with the Zeppelin cover and the last song (Purple Rain) was great too.
 
   He's an amazing performer, and I'm very glad i chose to stay in Balt/DC (instead of going to NYC) and seeing him once.
 
   It was also cool to get his new CD  free upon arrival!

Prince was awesome on Saturday night!  The show was a 2.5 hour funk jam that was backed up by an amazing band (Maceo Parker on sax!!).  I was up in the 400 level and people were dancing like crazy.  Also, since he was in DC, Prine did a tribute to the go-go genre by doing exceptional covers of Bustin' Loose and Pass the Peas.  Definitely one of the best shows I have seen this year.  Did I mention that 1/3 of crowd was dressed up as if they were going to the Players Ball.  What fun!

I went Friday and was down in section 113, four rows up from the floor.  Fabulous.  It was a fantastic show, as I thought it would be.  Prince is just so good, and his band is so good -- it's the antithesis to big arena shows like Britney, Madonna, etc., which is all "broadway spectacle" rather than musicianship.  And yet, he's also so exciting to watch.  A guitar is simply liguid in his hands.  
 
 Didn't want to go a second night, though, as the setlist appears to be the same every night...

SAT night..2 hours and 45 minutes...37 songs...Chuck Brown and Zeppelin covers were both great...the sound was very good on SAT...Maceo is truly the best sideman ever...Prince is THE BEST live performer...AND he writes all his songs and plays almost every intrument....period.

For those who went Saturday night, Did Prince happen to pick Sonick out of the crowd to go up on stage and do his little R&B dancing for a few songs?
