I saw him for the first time, two nights ago in Anaheim. Utterly blew my mind. Paid a couple hundred bucks for both shows, early and late - this was Grove of Anaheim, a 1700 person venue.
He's got an all girl band and they can really play. He did a lot of new stuff but the sound itself was very '1999,' hard rocking and funky. He did a cover of the Cars' 'Let's Go' and then played Purple Rain for the encore. Damn. I know the Hendrix comparisons are overplayed, there was actually a pretty heavy gospel feel to the whole thing as well.
Like all his newer albums, even. Have bought 'em all, for 28 years... Was worth the wait to see him, IMO.
