The One Nite Alone... Tour was a worldwide concert tour by Prince promoting his One Nite Alone... album, released earlier in the year. The tour hit the United States, Canada, Europe and Japan.

History

The Rainbow Children is once again part of the album promotion, but sales remain very slight. The album title is One Nite Alone ... whose songs cover most of the program. We also hear songs from the album C-Note , released in 2003. In addition, Prince classics are finally re-played. Prince tries to create a jazzy atmosphere. This tour features celebrities such as Larry Graham , Doug E. Fresh , Sheila E. , Alicia Keys , Norah Jones , Nikka Costa , Questlove , Musiq Soulchild and George Clinton . Despite criticism impetuous , the tour was a success by the number of tickets sold rather colossal . This finally marks the return of Prince on the cards after his trial. Sets and lighting effects are worked, the show becomes interesting. Prince shows his side as an actor and he did a lot of scales on piano. The rooms are mostly theaters a few thousand seats. This choice was justified by the assurance of giving all sold out shows.

Band

The NPG was again changed for this tour. Kip Blackshire and Morris Hayes left the band and were replaced by Renato Neto on keyboard. Funk legend Greg Boyer (and often his partner Maceo Parker) joined the horn section. Other saxophonists who played with the band on selected dates were Najee, Candy Dulfer and Eric Leeds.
