Notes

• The February 26 show in Minneapolis (Erykah's birthday), the band sang "happy birthday", before the performance of "World Keeps Turnin'".
• At the show in Chicago, Badu was to perform final song "Love of My Life (An Ode to Hip-Hop)" with hip-hop artist Common, sitting in front row. As the intro started, theater lights cut on, she told the audience she went over her time and said, "good night" as she left the stage.
