The music is the most important to me because I can carry bits of Prince's genius anywhere at any time.

I love to see Prince perform, but he was a musician first, so it seems that's his true root. Get to the root, get to the truth.

I would imagine the music would also be the most important thing to Prince. I haven't spoken to him lately to confirm this, however...

lol

To me the music is most importnant. For some reason I almost always like the single version more than mixes or concert versions. This is true of Prince's music and music in general.

Musicians obviously love concerts and performances but in the end I think their base is the music, the compositions.

Ditto...I would take it a little further to say without the man, there would be no music or performance. A great person once said: The eyes are the window to the soul and if I may add: a talent that is used as intended will turn out just fine! Understand I didn't use the word "right" because it leaves the opening for assumption of wrong. Whereas the conclusion of fine" is in the listener's mind's eye. Not everything Prince does will please each of us all the time, but it does keep us talking and connected. His ultimate goal? That craft purple badness! lol lol lol

That's a good one..

I know right?...which came first?
The music or the performance?

I appreciate the idea of Prince carrying on silently, but I'll go with the music here. cool

The music is 1st becuz w/out it what kind of per4mance would u have. In Truth, I would prefer 2 see P per4rm at least once every 2yrs if possible and he could tour an album. I'd love that ...

but all in all it's about the music
man, he has such an amazing body of music that it's sad to see him constrict it down to the basics. he's too talented for the lineup he's doing. estelle 81

The old performance. The funk music. I just like him as a whole. Can't choose.

I couldn't agree with you more. They also help make the whole experience that much more special.
I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that
