Hit and Run tour: 1986

After the Purple Rain tour, and Prince had finished filming Under the Cherry Moon in France, Prince started the "Hit and Run" tour less than a year after he announced that he'd retired from doing live concerts. This tour was called "Hit and Run" because they were played at smaller venues throughout the U.S. and Europe and were usually announced days or hours before the concert was to begin.

Following is the typical set list to one of these shows:

Around the World in a Day, Christopher Tracy's Parade, New Position, I Wonder U, Raspberry Beret, Delirious, Controversy, A Love Bizarre (Prince vocals) (early in the tour, Mutiny was played here), Do Me Baby, How Much is that Doggie in the Window, Automatic/Lady Cab Driver/DMSR, When Doves Cry, Under the Cherry Moon, Anotherloverholenyohead, Head, Pop Life, Girls and Boys, Life Can Be So Nice, 1999, Mountains, Kiss, Purple Rain

As usual, many random songs were performed during this tour, including Do U Lie, Paisley Park, Condition of the Heart, Soft and Wet, The Dance Electric, Miss You (Rolling Stones cover), Love or Money, Little Red Corvette, America, and Alexa De Paris, among others. Early on in the tour, at the end of Mutiny, the Revolution played a "St. Paul--Punk of the Month" chant right after Paul had left The Family to go solo. A Dream Factory chant was also added in this section of the show.
