PRINCE | Three Minneapolis Shows In One Day, Cops Shut Down First Avenue, Complete Setlists

Prince took over Minneapolis on Saturday-Sunday evening.

Around 5pm, he played his first of three shows at Macys. At 10pm, he went on to play the Target Center. And then at 2:45am, he played his first show at Minneapolis' First Avenue nightclub since 1987. This is the club made famous by being the main joint in Purple Rain.

Unfortunately for those at First Avenue, the show got shut down prematurely after the Purple One broke the cities 3am curfew. While police were kind enough to not shove Prince offstage and even let him play until about 3:45am. While that's still a wonderful hour performance, I'm guessing he would have played until at least 5am otherwise.

Throughout the day, Prince covered Amy Winehouse, Gnarls Barkley, The Cars, The Beatles, Sly Stone. He played with Sheila E. He played an amazing acoustic set. He was in top form.
