I updated my blog (it's in my sig) with a full review but I'll just say that the show was absolutely spectacular and I'm so glad I went. Wish I'd only paid $30, like the rest of you, but it was worth every cent anyway. For a 53yo dwarf he's an incredible performer. I was standing from the very start (how the fuck can you stay seated at a Prince gig?!) and loved every second, from the funk-ified jams and covers to his bigger songs. Purple Rain was fucking magic, every bit as emotional as I hoped, loved singing the oooh ooh ooh refrain, though I wished it had gone for 40 minutes I felt a little shortchanged
Flavour Flav and Chuck D joined him on a stage, as did a young girl (like 9, 10) who Prince left on her own on the symbol to dance for like five minutes and then a middle-aged dude who had been dancing up a storm just off-stage. Here's the set he played.

Days Of Wild
Only other bummers were 10-15 minute waits between the penultimate and final encore, and then again after Days of Wild, before house lights came on and roadies started dismantling. Poor form, but otherwise, awesome stuff
