Trivia

  • Second of three Oakland shows, announced on 16 February 2011, less than a week before the show dates. Tickets went on sale Friday 18 February at 12:00 p.m. PST.
  • This show included the first musical performance by Prince of Love, albeit only as a short snippet during the sampler set (he had previously sung lyrics almost five years earlier during Love Rollercoaster). The show also included the first performance by Prince of You’re The One For Me as an interpolation during Controversy (he would later perform the song in full).
