Prince delighted fans this weekend when he played an intimate gig in his own home at Paisley Park. See the full setlist and fan reactions below.
Last week, City Pages reported that the 'Kiss' singer would perform alongside new project 3rdEyeGirl and former band New Power Generation in his own house on Saturday 5 October. Lucky fans then got to see His Royal Badness perform for just $50 at the door and leaving their mobile phone at home. Alcohol and cameras were also banned.
The show went on until 2am after fans withstood wind and rain to stand at the gates to his home from the early afternoon.
The Current reports that Prince was in high spirits throughout the gig, cracking jokes, riling up the crowd and at one point embarking on little impromptu speech about a man and a woman arguing about who was going to do the grocery shopping and cook dinner.
“You know I like to play practical jokes - look at my outfit” he joked at one point - later adding: “So, should we do this again next weekend?”
Fans then took to Twitter to voice their delight following the show:
