Well, I had a pretty good time in Vegas. The concerts were pretty cool, and I finally bought one of those symbol necklaces I've always wanted.

Gotta Shake Something

Prince played some acoustic guitar during Cool and Jungle Love and also added some keyboard jamming at the end of the latter. Mike also appeared on stage to play some guitar on a few songs. There were about a dozen girls from the audience dancing on stage at the end of If The Kid Can't Make You Come and during Ice Cream Castles.

Mike Scott played guitar for most of the night, standing to the side of the stage out of the way. I asked him why he was playing from offstage and he just smiled.

After the concert, they played 2 versions of 1999--the new master, which reminded me of the Purple Medley. Then The Artist introduced everyone involved with the new version, including Rosie Gaines. It was weird hearing him talk. He said that Doug E Fresh missed his plane. I cheered then. :) (too bad he made it there on Saturday though. :) )

Celebrity spottings were Prince groupies Jamie Foxx, Chris Rock and Carmen Electra. Larry Graham watched the concert from the upper balcony with his wife, and looked really bored to be there. The Artist spent much of the concert in the mixing board.
