Sign o' the
Times tour:
Prince was still extremely popular in Europe, and thus his Sign o' the times
tour began there. Originally slated to be a world tour, Prince cut out the US
leg of the tour to return to the studio to record, among other known projects,
the Black Album, the Madhouse albums, the Flesh album and Lovesexy.
Unlike some of the previous tours, possibly because the tour only lasted a few
months, the set list stayed consistent over the course of much of the tour.
Following is the typical set list to one of these shows:
Sign o' the Times, Play in the Sunshine, Little Red Corvette, Housequake, Girls and Boys, Slow Love, I Could Never Take the Place of Your Man, Hot Thing, Now's the Time (cover of the old Charlie Parker song)/Sheila's Drum Solo, If Iwas Your Girlfriend, Let's Go Crazy, When Doves Cry, Purple Rain, 1999, Forever in my Life, Kiss, The Cross, It's Gonna Be a Beautiful Night/6
As usual, many random songs were performed during this tour, including a Love
Bizarre and Koo Koo w/ Sheila E. on lead vocals, the Ballad of Dorothy Parker
and Alexa De Paris, among others.
