I just find out today that aussie music star Jenny Morris was Prince opening act back on the 80's, Those anyone has a complete list of Prince opening acts? (beside P alumns/protegees).

I would appreciate any help.

Hi Aaron,

Jenny Morris was an opening act on the Nude tour, another Australian band that opened on the Aussie D&P tour was Aboriginal band Yothu Yindi, but were relagated to the foyer.

I know Zapp opened for him in the 1981 Controversy tour in most cities

I have a vague memory of the fat ejit from The Commitments movie playing in Dublin many years ago.

Amy Winehouse

Zapp as in "Zapp & Roger" ???

J'Davey opened one of the 3121 shows in Las Vegas.

The Pasadenas at Maine Road Manchester 92

Grupo Fantasma at the O2 and Indigo2

Mavis Staples on the Nude tour

Lois Lane on the Nude Tour (Belgium and Holland).
In '93 I saw some local French group in Paris (no idea who they were) and The N.P.G. opened in Belgium with most songs from the Gold Nigga album.

Fonky Baldheads opened when we saw him on Hit n Run tour.

Oddly enough I find her to be one of the smartest proteges.
She knows what she's not (a singer or serious actress) and knows what she sells extremely well (tits, ass, and the occasional comic-relief) and has made a pretty lasting career of it.

You mean M.I.A. or MIA?

squirrelgrease said:

Thank you all, very informative.

Besos y abrazos.

Aaron.

During Musicology tour in OR-some WB female artist opened. Don't remember her name-but nobody here has mentioned her. I just remember that was the most bombed audience at a Prince concert I have ever witnessed. Normally Prince crowds are cool and laid back, but not that drunk crowd. Fist fights and other outrageous behavior.

KeithyT said:

Anyone confirm if this was Mia, Mia Maestro, or M.I.A.?

Thank you.

diiinnnooo said:

Yep as in Roger Troutman

And the guy who said the fat git from the commitments, his name was Andrew Strong and he had quite a good voice

diiinnnooo said:

I wouldn't class Amy as an opening act. She sang one song and P was on stage with her.

aarontj said:

Dunno, but she was crap whoever she was!

Common opened August 24th 2007 in London

xenon said:

Both M.I.A and Mya opened for Prine

And yes M.I.A was shite

Huggiebear said:

Omg how cool isn't that, after Prince, Zapp & Roger are actually my favourite music artist
Do you know if they have made any collaborations, or something together?

chopingard said:

OMG, M.I.A. opening for P!, that's rad!, I can't find photos or any info on the web, but thanks for the info.

M.I.A. rules!
