Act I and II

Act I was a concert tour by American recording artist Prince and The New Power Generation promoting his Love Symbol Album, released the previous year. This was Prince's first tour of the United States since 1988's Lovesexy World Tour. Act II was the second leg of the tour. After Act I's tour of the United States, Act II was Prince's return to Europe.

History

The first half of the concert focused on Love Symbol Album material and sometimes included a few tracks from The New Power Generation's recently released Goldnigga album. The second half was a greatest hits selection, as well as some rarely played B-sides such as "Irresistible Bitch" and "She's Always in My Hair". This would be Prince's final tour before he would change his stage name to his unpronounceable symbol. The shows were usually given in rooms of medium size, mostly with a capacity of 4 000 to 6,000 people. Prince wanted the rooms are sold out, and did not want to take risks for his first real US tour in five years. The show has two parts, exactly as the Lovesexy Tour. In the first part are played the songs on the album "Symbol", with a very elaborate staging. The second part is the one where the main hits are played. The show has basically the story found in the video "3 Chains O'Gold", but in a much more theatrical. The decor is a little Arabian Nights, with the curtain of stars of the tour "Diamonds And Pearls", which will be reused on several laps later. The musicians are relegated to the sides of the stage, leaving Prince, Mayte and Game Boyz ample space to dance and express themselves on stage.
