I don't think it was the most fem part of his career,

Some would say it was the Prince-Dirty Mind years, some would say it was the Slave period, which I agree
or whenever this was

But I believe Prince is at his best when he is freely masc/fem

My one and only Prince tour seen live. Loved everything about it.

Same here ernestsewell except I was so excited I can't recall much of it. He came in on the car and exited on it singing Alpahabet Street. Thank goodness for concert footage from other shows, and at least I'm not in the nosebleed section when I watch the boots!

Lovesexy was the first "new" P album I eagerly anticipated. I was a casual fan until after SOTT was released. I was in high school at the time Lovesexy was released. I asked my Mom to pick up a copy of the albu
at the mall while I was in school. I came home to discover that she bought it, but was embarrased by the album's cover art! I wish I could have seen the record store employee's reaction at my mother's request to by the album! (My mother turns 70 this weekend. Love ya Mom!)

Agreed I would have appreciated anything else at the time The continuous sequence didn't help either

Lovesexy sucks ass. It's got one single good song, When 2 R In Love. Otherwise it was a major mistake.

And this picture is so horrible! Eric Leeds is the only one who doesn't look like a complete douche.

I was just forward of Sheila's drum kit. If Prince was facing forward on the stage (there was a "front" of the stage, which put Sheila just behind him on stage right), then I was at about the 2 o'clock position. Apollonia was there that night. She tried to get under the stage to see Prince before the show, but they wouldn't let her in. (Hello, he wasn't under the stage before the show, they always walked out to the stage in the dark.) She was signing tour books, but I never went over to her.

I’ve never liked the album too much. Most of the songs seem cluttered & half-written. The only time the album really works for me is the title track: it’s weird, rampages all over the place, and rocks pretty hard. If he’d made an album full of material like that he would have really had something unique, but nothing else comes close to touching it for me.

I saw the opening night of the US tour in Minneapolis. It may just have been a case of opening night rustiness, but it was an off show, especially the first half. The band was flat and the audience was absolutely anaesthetized for the most part. The second set was much better, and the PR hits were dependably exciting, but there’s no question I definitely caught the tour on a sluggish night. I wasn’t the only one who thought so either. I travelled to the gig as part of a tour group and the general consensus on the bus was that the show was a disappointment.
