I thought U2 was the best, though Bono's voice was off. I don't remember if he was sick, or if it was just a long tour taking it's toll on his vocal chords (Armored NO Saint and I had seen them at the start of the Elevation Tour at The American Airline Center in Dallas, and that had to be about ten month earlier). "Where the Streets Have No Name" is one of my all-time favorite songs, and that moment with the names of the 9/11 victims streaming up to the heavens was just incredible. I watch it from time to time on Youtube, and it still sends chills down my spine.

Prince was great though, probably my second favorite show. The guy is a phenomenal talent/live performer. Damned fine guitarist, too. When I started studying the instrument, and found out that was him playing the solo to "Let's Go Crazy", I couldn't believe how good he was. He ripped just like Ernie Isley or Jimi Hendrix. He has some good solos on the Gold Experience, too.

That FM arrangement for the marching band is Chilly.

It was trendy for a time in the early 2000's for pop music to use marching band or drum corps type accompanyment. Holla back girl, crazy in love (though more 70s big brass), the love spit love cover at the opening of Angus got more exposure. Stefani did hollaback girl on snl back then and she had a marching band accompany her there. kicked a$$! "Brass bands" started popping up all over in nyc that fused jazz bands with marching band elements. I really liked the eternal buzz brass band - they could really burn the place down.

The more brass the more I like it, Dude.
