Show #8 of the 21 Nite Stand.

Not spectacular, but a really nice, enjoyable show.  Not a huge crowd at all - very few sitting in the uppers - and it seemed to make for more relaxed show.  A more traditionally paced show than the last one on 4/30.  A full, 2 hour set before the encore break.  1 long encore.  No 10 minute wait thing.  When it was over, it was over.  A very nice quiet opening - very much like 4/21.  Orange Stat on first 2 songs.  Hohner on all the rest.  Whitney Houston pops onstage during a very long Musicology.  Don't over expect.  Cedric the Entertainer attempts to sing during Raspberry Beret.  The song sort of falls apart, but it allows Prince to throw in some tasty guitar licks.  The show had an odd end.  Prince leaves the stage after the vocals on Kiss - does none of the butt shaking dancing that he has done on all other shows - but the band completely finishes the song as per normal - as the audience/dancers are methodically led off the stage by security.

A really good sounding show.  One of the best of the bunch so far.  I shortened the encore crowd by a couple of minutes so the show would fit on 2 discs.

Taped and mastered by JB.  Please don't sell.  DO NOT convert to lossy format. That means don't post a bunch of mp3's on your blog because you want your friends to hear the show, or post mp3's because some guy doesn't want to take the time to download 1000MB.
