Starting the night off with a heavy blues-rock remake of "Let's Go Crazy," Prince flaunted his new backing band, the all-female 3rdEyeGirl. On drums, beautiful blonde Hannah Ford belted out lyrics as she laid down solid rock drums and thunderous tom fills.

On bass, Ida Nielson, with her pointed pigtails and heavily distorted blues basslines, brought the funk with bass pops and slaps that compelled the audience to dance. And on guitar, Donna Grantis, with her wild hair flowing over her half shaved head, ripped through fiery guitar solos and lead riffs that would bring a smile to any rock god's face. And smile Prince did.

For the first encore, Prince swooped into an emotional "Purple Rain" with Bobby Z from his former band The Revolution on drums. After playing another song Prince thanked the crowd and wished them goodnight. But everyone seemed to know better and was rewarded when Prince and 3rdEyeGirl walked out on stage in front of the curtain, spotlights illuminating them in the pitch black club.
