Prince’s performance couldn’t hold a candle to the Roger Waters show…and I didnt even go for Waters. Did you even see it??!?!?

i sincerely hope that the response Prince got from this show will encourage him to hit the road in earnest. it worked for Daft Punk, didn’t it?

OK, this is a new one – YouTube has plenty of videos of the show, but rather than take them down, they’ve stripped the audio out of all them for copyright reasons.

The instrumental jam on the set list was actually a Santana song. And the backup singer was Ledisi.

You can’t just say someone covered a song called “Creep” without specifying whose. Given Prince’s endorsements of TLC back in the day I assumed it was theirs before I googled and figured out it was Radiohead’s. And given that Foo Fighters cover a couple years back, I wouldn’t put it past him to do the Stone Temple Pilots song.
That said, that’s a fucking awesome setlist, I’m jealous.

I’m so sorry you had to pee. I went to the bathroom after the Hot Chip and didn’t pee again till I was back in L.A. at 4am. I thought I might wet my pants during Prince but he thoroughly blew my mind (and I’m already a huge fan) that I forgot about the blisters on my feet, the dehydration, and the exhaustion and just DANCED. And screamed. I now have a Prince hangover. There is no way you can see Prince live and not enjoy it. He owned Coachella and he knew it. Now everyone else does too. I would so have his baby.

I have already listened to the “Creep” cover half a dozen times this morning…man, who knew he could still hit such high notes? Amazing. See David Cook, THAT is how you make a cover your own!
