I haven't been to a concert since the Lovesexy tour, but, off the top of my head, I'm guessing that these would be especially problematic:
"Sister" "Jack U Off" "Let's Pretend We're Married" "Erotic City" "Darling Nikki" "It" "Bob George" "Superfunkycalifragisexy" "Rockhard in a Funky Place" "Tick, Tick, Bang" "Sexy M.F. "Come" "Orgasm" "P Control"
I'm sure there are plenty others.

probably about 50% of dirty mind, controversy and 1999, and a few on the remaining 80s and early 90s albums | |

It doesn't seem that cut and dry. He still does Little Red Corvette, and sings about "doing it in the kitchen, on the table top." I would be interested in following this thread and seeing specifically a list of songs not played since 2001. "There is two kinds of music, the good, and the bad. I play the good kind."

Why can't he do them anymore? Are you referring to his inability or the sexual content? If the ladder, why shouldn't he? Prince I will always miss and love U. | |

Folks, he's played songs with cursing an sexual themes plenty of times.
He just replaces the words or omits them, and rearranges the songs.
He's always rearranged songs live--this time, he just has one extra reason to do so. | |

he has been teasing nasty girl and darling nikki in his sampler set .. i don't think he censors himself due to some spirtual bs .. i think its more so people can bring their kids to his shows .. he's not playing to the horny youth anymore .. they don't really come to the shows .. its horny older people now but also families with kids .. thats who goes to prince shows now .. and if he loses that audience due to singing about explicit sex while kids are there he's not gonna sell enuf tickets ... maybe thats why gold tour bombed so bad .. it was mf this and mf that .. people dig erotic prince but no so much foul mouthed prince .. well not everyone anyway | |

Middle aged Prince would've probably not do the songs and if he does, he does snippets of it or takes the cursive words out. Younger Prince wouldn't have given a shit lol | |

You all forgot "Cloreen Baconskin" which starts with "One of those nice breezy motherfuckers". Hopefully one day, Prince will come out of his enforced purgatory and preform all these aural nasties again.
All of Dirty Mind except Gotta Broken Heart again (The others are too explicit, contain unjehovahed themes - are you gay, even mentioning the word is a sin in their cult) Most of Controversy except Ronnie, Annie Christian Most of 1999 but especially International Lover and Lets Pretend we're married. Maybe Free may past muster. Some of Purple Rain Parade and parts of sign are okay Lovesexy would be acceptable Virtually all of 1991 -1998 would be banned due to his obsession with being a gangsta and his favourite word was Motherfucker at the time. 1999 - onwards would be okay. Got some kind of love for you, and I don't even know your name | |

When I saw him at MSG in December, he played Uptown.
My mind was blown. It was so good. | |

Not can't. Won't. | |
| - E-mail - orgNote - Report post to moderator |
I think he's always played Uptown every now and then. | |

He's played "When You Were Mine" quite a few times since his JW turn. Quite a few on ONA tour if I believe and at the final O2 Show in 2007 | |

Great, he is lightening up finally, in a way "Uptown" was the song that defined, not only was it great song, the message was meaningful, its about being true to yourself and not giving a damn. Got some kind of love for you, and I don't even know your name | |

Best part: During the intro: "How many of y'all know about the Dirty Mind? How many of y'all know about the DIRTY MIND?!?!"
Everyone goes crazy and then Prince goes:
"Ahh just like a bunch of teenagers!" | |

But to taint the purity of such lines as "work your body like a whore" is a crime against poetry! My Legacy

yeah, because that's the only thing about that song which makes it unsuitable for his live shows....
a list of good songs he COULD play but doesnt would be more interesting, i.e.
computer blue new position life could be so nice play in the sunshine the cross ballad of dorothy parker lovesexy i wish u heaven the future electric chair elephants & flowers thieves in the temple still would stand all time rave un2 the joy fantastic thunder the sacrifice of victor/emancipation the morning papers papa gold letitgo count the days (with a few lyric changes) anything on musicology except musicology fury love the word the dance te amo corazon
there are obviously a whole lot more if you include stuff played only on the ona tours | |

Yeah, where the heck is Computer Blue? He could still rock the mask without getting too naughty. At least work in the solo. | |

^ I'm kinda surprised he DOESN'T play "Computer Blue" lol that one don't even have curse words (if you think "hell" is still really a curse word nowadays lmao) | |
