Prince played Madison Square Garden w/ Cee-Lo (setlist)

“Prince calls for Kim Kardashian to dance…..
kicks her offstage for lack of know how.” – Questlove

TOMEEBOY’S HIGHLIGHTS:

CEELO playing full version of “When U Were Mine”

LAYDOWN OPENING

DEDICATING NOTHING COMPARES 2u TO Bobby Z Prince said
” A lot of people helped me along the way, Bobby was one of them Recover soon Bobby”

Medley portion…Prince was very into the crowd. Unlike last time…Prince teases us with the songs but actually responded to the crowds reaction and played the ones that got the big reaction…He:
Sang one full verse of Sign of the Times
One full verse of Alphabet Street
Two full verses of I would Die 4U
Two Full verses of Pop Life
First verse of When Doves Cry
Started Forever in My Life…but stopped (didnt get strong reaction)
Played “Single Ladies by Beyonce for two minutes while some guy picked from the crowd made a fool of himself dancing…Prince got a kick out of him.

MOUNTAINS…full version with Shake Your Body Down too the Ground

Most importantly he said the following:” DONT WORRY NEW YORK, WE’LL BE BACK SOON…I LOVE IT HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Tomeeboy]
