Funny, I thought the second show was much better than the first. I also thought the Time did better on night two.

Living in Minneapolis definitely has its advantages!

no, I didnt get any that night because I looked back to get her phone number after the show had ended and she was gone. This older white guy was complimenting me on the escalator on the way to exiting saying "You were really singing to that girl and you had all the moves too" and I really appreciated that. Thats how much I was into the show.

Awesome!! I have the same two tickets!!

From SOTT onwards I have seen all tours with the exeption of ONA and the current one. Most tours I saw multiple times (usually between 3 and 5 times). I lost count, but I think i've seen Prince 50+ times. Just saw one aftershow though (Indigo2, the one with Beverly Knight where only a few hundred people turned up because of a comment on the internet that led people to believe he would play an aftershow on saturday and not friday. Luckily I had no access to the internet)

And I saw both Montreux shows in 2009. Also I was at the first celebration in 2000 by sheer luck. I had to go to Rochester, Minnesota, that week, all the way from Holland. What are the odds of that happening?

Purple Rain

Lovesexy

Musicology

wow I'm jealous, I've never seen him live, he would come in a black music festival here in Brazil, but unfortunately canceled, as I am with the finances in the day, I'll have to go see him at the place where he makes touring (usa and europe)

Parade Tour - Madison Square Garden, NYC 1985-86

Lovesexy Tour - Madison Square Garden, NYC 1987 (ish) - 10th row

Emancipation: 1997-98 (saw multiple shows below)

-Hollywood Bowl (5th row - sat right behind Ray Liotta)

-Pantages Theatre (great small venue in Hollywood!)

-Irvine (some arena I dont recall the name)

Rainbow Children - Phoenix, AZ 2000 (??) I loved the jazzy band feel of that show!

Musicology - Phoenix, AZ 2004 (again, great seats-6th row)

I know I am forgetting one or two!! LOL But I did NOT get to see the Pruple Rain tour in 1984 which is what I really had wanted to see. I was only 14 so wasnt allowed to go! boo.

Looking forward to the show on April 30th, 2013 here in Phx!!

Better late than never!!
