I'll piss a lot of people off, but I haven't been to as many as most, and still have yet to catch a club date or aftershow... So that said, my favorite Prince show (out of four attended) was 5/13/11 at the Forum.

My favorite show of all time? Such a tough call, seen so many, but the three nights (out of a five-night run) that I saw Dylan at the El Rey in 1997 was pure magic. Picking one, I would go with 12/19/97.

Notable Runner-Ups: Stevie Wonder at Universal Ampitheater with a full-orchestra (same tour documented in the amazing "Natural Wonder" disc), Gil Scott-Heron with Amnesia Express at the Blue Note in Manhattan (circa 1990), Joe Jackson Night & Day II tour.

For Prince it was 93 Act I in atlanta

Other artist - Kid Rock 2006 Alabama and U2 2004 Atlanta. Kid Rock was the most fun I have ever had at a concert. That show kicked ASS!!

Best Prince gig was ONA in Dublin with Norway last year not to far behind.

Best gig ever was David Bowie in the Olympia Dublin on 8 August 1997.

The tour for Emancipation. Saw it in Louisville,Lexington and Dayton. Also saw the Lovesexy tour in Cincinatti. Prince playing in the round and cruising around in his TBird. Sheila E. on drums and Cat doing her thang.

Never been to a Prince show, being in NZ and all.

Other show, Elton John Band at the Vector Arena in Auckland May 4 2008, he played all his old hits and jumped and pranced around. He had his 70s band with him and they were amzing, by the end of the 4th song, every one was dancing. He was 61 and he gave a great show.

Best Prince - 21 Nights O2 August 2007

Best Non Prince - Muse - Absolution tour

best prince, wembley 88 lovesexy

non prince, happy mondays, elland rd 91

Never have seen Prince live .. yet, it's a goal (unless he comes to NZ then I'm on to it)

Best non-Prince - either James Brown (the year before he died), Michael Jackson (HIStory era) or Janet Jackson (The Velvet Rope era) .. They're all life highlights

Best Prince concert was the Purple Rain tour

Best non-Prince concert Joni Mitchell, Cocteau Twins, Faith Evans, Carl Thomas, Public Enemy, Jeffrey Osborne, UB40, Ahmad Jamal, After 7, D'Angelo

Prince @ MSG - Lovesexy Tour 1988

J'Davey @ SOBS - June 2010

Prince - ONA Louisville 2002

George Clinton & Parliament Funkadelic with Bootsy's Rubber Band Feat. Bernie Worrell - The Return Of The Mothership, St. Louis 1996

Prince, May 1998 in Columbus, Ohio. Doug E. fresh and Larry Graham were distractions, but the show was incredibly fun otherwise.

The other show would be Harry Connick, jr. with his funk band in either '97 or '98. Almost everything I've heard from him sucks, but that show was outstanding.

Runner-up would be Tom Waits in 2008.

My first P show back in 1982 at the San Francisco Civic and the Musicology tour. I was luck enough to see the Time original members and nothing compares to that.

... the three 3121 Las Vegas Shows wifey and I've been to. Musicology Tour (saw two shows in South Florida).

Saw Sheila E. at a South Beach Hotel / Club with her father and brother. The woman is a BEAST on drums and the sweetest women. I swear if I wasn't married ... LoL
