Still Waiting and It's Gonna Be Lonely

I've always loved these two songs from "Prince" since first hearing them in the 80's and I was wondering if Prince sings them in concert at all? I've never heard him sing either one live eek or am I missing something? They are beautiful songs that deserve to be done every now and then.

I'm no expert in this, but IIRC..... "Still Waiting" was played a lot on the Dirty Mind tour 1981:

Check the DVD from Global Funk School, incl.:

The Ritz, New York City March 21 1981

Le Palace, Paris June 03 1981

"Still Waiting" is played at both concerts.

Btw. I love this song heart

Oh, I thought I was the only one who loves those songs back to back. They go together as ballads beautifully. To me, they still battle each other for my love, but "Still Waiting" gets the most listening on my Ipod touch.

Yup "Still Waiting" is played alot smile His Dirty Mind, 1999, and Purple Rain concerts. Not too sure about Controversy, but hey it may be in one of those too. Definitely not too sure about the 90s concerts.

But "It's Gonna Be Lonely" is beautiful too, although not played at all to my recollection, at least not the 80s concert shows. Anybody feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

Yes, at 19, I finally saw the Revolution, a legendary band. And I talked to Wendy!!! biggrin In addition to seeing Prince, I have now lived life. Thank you Purple People!!

Me either...I think he should do both when the U.S. tour kicks off-that would be nice.
