Following his takeover of The Arsenio Hall Show, Prince stayed in Los Angeles to play two surprise performances at the Palladium this past weekend. His first set on Friday night featured just seven songs but Sunday he played a legendary, career-spanning set that lasted more than four hours and included five encores all totaling to nearly 60 songs. He played hits from Purple Rain and Sign O' the Times as well as well as material from The Family and The Time with a few unreleased songs thrown in the mix.
