the guitar solos in I Hate U and Purple Rain still gives me goosebumps...

They sound very similar

I'll have to split this into visual and audio.

On video, the Housequake SOTT dancing where he's on his back and his arms are a blur..that whole move is almost superhuman.

SOTT during 'Forever In My Life' when he screams "I gotta tell ya...tell ya..tell ya.." and drops the mic like he's in pain.

Funnily enough, Housequake again in Livesexy when he does the splits as the spotlights hit him at the start and the song really kicks in. Wowzers.

Audio-wise, the end of the The Cross is special when it kicks into the guitar shredding, drum pounding crescendo that you just wish could go on for ages.

When he whispers "Can't you feel my love..touching you" on When We're Dancing Close And Slow..the very definition of intimate singing!

All of 'The Power Fantastic'

Daddy Pop, when it steps up a gear with "Daddy pop lead the band, as I step to the mic and lend a hand". Okay, shamefully it's not Prince on vocals at that point, but it almost toasted my speaker with the sudden increase in bass intensity. That section is awesome.

Vocal gymnastics on 'Temptation'...especially the line "Purple electricity whenever our bodies touch". A line which I always thought ended with "midas touch" but obviously I was wrong..he sings it so high and distorted that I think I can be forgiven..

A second for 'The Holy River' section...great lyrics, great melody. I think this is one of his post-Warners highlights where both came together and fused perfectly.

a coupla goosebumps form when he sings so low in the beginning of Future Soul Song, then they multiply exponentially along with his guitar playing and "I hear sounds I hear whispers, and I don't mind it".

all of Alexa de Paris

"I did not care, now I feel it, EVERYWHERE!"(I'm not religious, but this part makes me feel spritually ecstatic.)

most of the piano playing on One Night Alone accoustic cd.

To add:

The scene in UTCM when P is seducing Mrs Wellinton & plays 'An Honest Man' is a goosebump moment for me.

In the same movie when P does that spinning around and looking intense shit at Mary at her birthday party with the drums playing gets me everytime AND I', metrosexual so can only imagine what it does to my gay brothers and the women who like Prince

The scream in International Lover

All of the song 'Silly Games'

^^ Finally, I think I found the only other orger who likes Silly Game.

Around the World in a Day ! at the start of the instrumental break.

I still remember at that point in the song the curtain falls at the beginning of the Parade Tour.

That was the first time I saw Prince live in Holland in 1986 when I was 16.

Still gives me goosebumps !!

too many to mention but usually only in concert

"Eye love u but eye don't trust u anymore"...when his voice is almost to a whimper at the end of the song...

The opening of the movie in my opinion was really good, you can sorta tell the part where Prince took over and it got bad

But that opening in the club/piano scene, the sensual piano seduction, the piano piece I wish was released as an instrumental too

1. Under the Cherry Moon Outro - Piano Instrumental [Intro Voice over]
2. An Honest Man - Piano Instrumental [Titles]

An Honest Man

I want 2 be an honest man
I'll be your slave, just understand
How much I need U
And if I died
We'll be 2gether side by side

With U I know I can stand, stand
With U I can be an honest man

♥

-whispers- is new here

I like the second part of 'computer blue' with the bass and guitar solo

Anna stesia

Purple rain because of the feels

Theives in the temple

when he gets to Y-O-U in Something In The Water (Does Not Compute)... Also because that is one of the best way to capture the emotion when you think about someone and wonder 'why oh you'...

some of Adore's moments make me litterally escape out of this world to another planet.

Computer Blue is a song that just shows you how good is Prince, the guitar solo, that sound of that guitar solo, and also the Beautiful Ones... so much chills.

The Scandalous Sex Suite

I got a whole bunch!

The breakdown and guitar solo on The War is absolutely sick!

The song Solo is so hauntingly beautiful.

The Love We Make....a real tear jerker for me.

The beautiful Ones when P goes down on the floor in the movie....I died!


International Lover is the song that got me hooked.

The orgasmic guitar solo on Shhh....oh my damn!

The speaking segues on Dreamin bout U....Jaysus, his voice!

Insense and Candles when he says "yes".....

The absolutely masterful arrangement of 3 Chains of Gold.

The ending of Purple Rain, of course.

Anna Stesia on ONA Live.

The unbridled joy of Get On The Boat

Guitar solo on Joy in Repetition....pure sex.

The end of Question Of U is very goose bumpy.

The bass on Face Down

Hallucination Rain....criminally underrated.

The ending of The Dance on 3121 is simply exquisite.

The spine tingling power of 7

And finally, the time he played Beautiful Strange right in front of my face at Club Mansion in Miami...if Prince never does anything else in life, that was enough for me.

Sometimes the man is so damn good it hurts, I tell ya.

What? Tis true...

Prince can pour so much feeling into a song that it almost breaks your heart sometimes.

You can say that again.

Dance On, Joy In Repetition, Sometimes it Snows in April, Rebirth of the Flesh, All My Dreams, Condition of the Heart, ooohh there are too many to sum up.

after Wendy says "do you really know what love is?" and Prince is banging the crash cymbal gets me everytime

Are there any parts of a Prince song that no matter how many times you listen to it, it always gives you goosebumps because it's just so awesome and the gift taht just keeps on giving

Some of mine are:

1. Call My name...the end part where his voice goes high and he really pushes the song to another level

2. Rock hard in a funky place- the guitar solo. fking genius.

3. Come- The buld up at the end after the interlude when P goes yeahhh you should do that baby, oh yes oh yeah oh yes. Come you should do that baby yh yh yh yh yh yh oh yh woooooh! no more no more..

4. My love is forever- Singing just before and the final guitar solo...wow Prince. just wow!

5. Extrodinary- at the end when he is in a sweet falsetto "Time, everything else when U r near...."

6. Tamborine. All of it. Puts me in a goosebump trance.

God and Solo! For show, Imagine listening to these at night with no lights on; I don't think I could!

Without doubt ...... 'Question of U' live version guitar solo

Guiter solo in the song Purple Rain... everytime.

Just want to say this thread is fantastic - makes me remember those moments that I take for granted sometimes.

A couple I haven't seen mentioned:

- The last couple minutes of We Can Funk (especially the scream lingering behind the 'candle' bit)

- The whole second half / guitar outro of Thunder

|

and my all-time favorite moment in any Prince song ever - i could listen to this on a loop for 17 days:

- the guitar work on Witness right when the chorus starts rising at the end, specifically at 3:13 - that little drop... great googly moogly

[Edited 1/24/14 19:48pm]

Too many to recall so I'll just mention a couple that come to mind:

Just My Imagination Small Club - guitar solo

Purple Rain performance - 85 American Music Awards
