Hit n Run Tour (2000)

The Hit + Run Tour was an American concert tour by American recording artist Prince.[1] It was the first tour performed by Prince since re-claiming his birth name. After a fairly stable line up for the past two years, he was now backed by a very different form of The New Power Generation.[2][3]
