Show Notes

• Start time was approximately 8:30
• After reports of limited guitar playing, the axe was out -- and if full force -- for a great majority of the set
• Prince offered "heartfelt" apologies for any inconvenience from the previous night's show(s): "we seem to have the kinks worked out."
• Hudson emerged from the same hydraulic lift that Prince made his entrance from, after the duet, Prince remarked "Chicago... we good now?"
• Sampler set was not full songs, Alphabet Street and Darling Nikki were just riffs / verses (about 10 songs in 10 minutes)
• House lights came up before encores, prompting some to leave, but most fans knew what was up and stuck around for the end of the show
• Ticket holders for Monday's Aftershow at House Of Blues, can exchange for a United Center ticket tonight
• For Tuesday's aftershow, the band went on at 1am, played for about 90 minutes

Aftershow setlist (unconfirmed)

Be Happy, Jam Of The Year, Days Of Wild, Mountains, Wild and Loose, Dance Electric, Brown Skin, Stratus#, Get On The Boat
