Ive seen both on video and I prefer the Lovesexy tour

I think... think I prefer the SOTT tour. (And that was a hard decision ).

sign o the times main shows are always awesome to listen to and the few aftershows were damn good also. not crazy about the lovesexy main shows, but the aftershows are some of my favorite . can't go wrong with that band either way

Lovesexy. I never saw SOTT in person, so perhaps I'm biased unfairly, but there will always and forever be a special place in my heart for the Lovesexy tour.

On a more unbiased level, I would offer these reasons for Lovesexy excelling:

*It was in the round.
*It had a more fun and playful setting (the basketball hoop was a nice touch).
*Roy Bennett's lighting work was amazing on Lovesexy and deserves much praise.
*I love the live version of I Wish U Heaven and Alphabet St., which of course weren't in SOTT.
*I love the song SOTT but have never really felt it live. The Lovesexy intro, with the theatrics of the car coming in, the rivalry between Cat and Sheila, the threeway sex-style dancing (with Prince in the middle), and the gangster gunning are all more fun to me than SOTT.
*There are probably more reasons, but that's what I thought of off the top of my head.

Lovesexy was the better,one of the two.

They were both the best tours for me. Lovesexy is my favorite album, so I'm going with the Lovesexy tour.

ruby, b4 i comment, r u trying 2 clown the king 4 a reason?

I like Sign of the times tour better than lovesexy. I guess bcuz of the setlist and band. lovesexy had 2 many hits and songs being performed. S0TT focused on that album and a few hit songs.

Same band, and the Lovsexy show usually ran about 1/2 hour longer than the SOTT shows (room for more songs).

2 of my fav tours...But hands down Lovesexy all the way.

Lovesexy

King-you haven't seen SOTT dvd yet.....?

man its been in telly in the UK alot of times-they even gave the dvd away in a news paper a couple of years ago-is it not on tv in the US ever-it must be in the cheap section of record stores now-the double album in only £5 in the UK

You HAVE to see this asap-its like a huge gap in your Princeology

SOTT; all the songs were played completely, no medleys. Lovesexy was just way overproduced and slick. No fun at all actually.

If you like these tours, try hunting down soms ONA show, I still think this was his best tour ever...

Difficult. I was at a Lovesexy show, and it was the best show I ever saw by anyone. He cancelled my SOTT show, so have to go on the movie and boots.

Still, can't choose. Lovesexy was a great cocept show and at the same time a live overview of much of his earlier material (in the first half). SOTT was a great showcase for a great album.

I'd have go back in time to '87 to really choose, so I' sit on the fence for now.

One thing about Prince, before I can really enjoy the 'era' it changes, changes too soon. I love the clothing for the SOTT tour/era much better than the Lovesexy, but I loved the Lovesexy look too

I love the SOTT stage set up much better than the Lovesexy tour
one of the band members said at times the LS setup was too disconnected as far as the band was concerned
But I did like the wide playful set up of the Lovesexy show

I prefer the SOTT because what became the Lovesexy tour should have been the Black album shows

the SOTT shows had full length songs vs too many medleys and musical interludes of the Lovesexy tour, I really loved the LS Aftershows better

It's really hard because SOTT is a bittersweet show/era for me
I appreciate the Lovesexy expression of songs like Sister, I Wanna Be Your Lover, Erotic City(I was just listenting to the Atlanta show last night...something about when the keys come in)

SOTT.

Lovesexy: the positive was also the negative point: the stage.
It was a great stage-setup, in the round,
but it was difficult to follow what was happening when you were in the lower seats,
the sound was bad, the technologie wasn't then what it is now, and a stage in the middle of a big hall isn't easy to get good sound.
the band members and prince had to move so much, so that everybody saw something interesting now and then, that it left no room for improvisation.

SOTT was a great stage, focus, great songs, well played, good sound,
but parade was even more fun!

Lovesexy .... this is surely the very best concert ever done by a human , and that I've ever seen of him. He was at his absolute peak during that period, a music god, a young black mozart, he looked freakin' awesome, he had it all and he could do anything! Geez I was still such a triple x hardcore fan then.
