Thursday night, Prince kicked off his 21-night stint in at the Forum in Inglewood with a massive three-hour show featuring many highlights from the Purple One’s three-decade career. The Times will have a full review of the show in a few hours, but below is the first stab at a setlist. Any Prince fanatic in attendance last night -- apparently there were a few -- who sees any discrepancy in this, let us know.

One curious Prince aside that deserves note: Onstage between songs, Prince didn’t make mention of ’21 shows.’ He said that he and the band would be performing at the Forum ‘as long as you’ll have us.’ Did that strike anyone else as curious?
