Trivia

This was the seventh show of the Welcome 2 Australia Tour. It was officially announced as second and last Brisbane show on 17 April, 2012. There was an unusual 20 minute break after Peach. Many people left to try and attend the afterjam announced for Eatons Hill Hotel. But as so many people were not leaving Prince & The NPG came back for a fourth encore of three songs. Tickets for this show went on sale Monday 23 April, 2012, 10 AM AEST. How Come U Don't Call Me Anymore rendition is very short, a few measures before Prince sings The Ladder first verse. Little Red Corvette was on the setlist (after 1999, but not played. None of the encores (after Purple Rain were on the printed setlist.

Soundcheck		Support Act(s)

Reportedly the back up singers sang something (possibly 'Lost & Found'), then Pop Life, Musicology, She's Always In My Hair and Controversy were played. Some of Little Red Corvette was also done at some point.		none
