2014 Fan's Choice (Prince's Concert Setlist)

Imagine if Prince held a contest where he would allow only one fan to choose 20 songs for him to perform at his next show (and you were chosen), what songs would you have him do?

NOTE: I knew it would take some time creating this list but I didn't realize how difficult it would be because I love so many of his songs (mainstream and non-mainstream). Nonetheless, here's my list...

1. Dance 4 Me (from MPLSound, 2009)

2. The Gold Standard (from Art Official Age, 2014)

3. Colonized Mind (from Lotusflow3r, 2009)

4. Scandalous! (from Batman, 1989)

5. Let's Work (from Controversy, 1981)

6. Kiss (from Parade, 1986)

7. 17 Days (from The Hits / The B-Sides, 1993)

8. I Wanna Be Your Lover (from Prince, 1979)

9. Adore (from Sign o' the Times, 1987)

10. Cream (from Diamonds and Pearls, 1991)

11. America (from Around the World in a Day, 1985)

12. Chelsea Rodgers (from Planet Earth, 2007)

13. Joy in Repetition (from Graffiti Bridge, 1990)

14. Endorphinmachine (from The Gold Experience, 1995)

15. Anotherlove (from PlectrumElectrum, 2014)

16. Crystal Ball (from Dream Factory, 1986)

17. Tictactoe (from PlectrumElectrum, 2014)

18. Let's Go Crazy (from Purple Rain, 1984)

19. Anna Stesia (from Lovesexy, 1988)

20. All My Dreams (from Dream Factory, 1986)


So, ladies and gents, what do you think of my list? If Prince chose you to create a playlist for him to perform, what would you choose?

I can already tell the comments on this one are going to be special!

Good list OP. Especially with 'The Cross' and 'All My Dreams' closing the concert, that'd be an great one-two punch to finish with. Okay here's my attempt at a Prince & 3rdeyegirl rock show that would still deliver the hits. It's a bit long, but hey, it's a dream show!

I would want a concert where at least, say, 80% of the material was new or recent, as with the now-classic tours of the 80s and through the mid-90s (even including the "One Night Alone" tour.

The HitNRun tours this year have featured more new material than any other tour since ONA 13 years ago, I think this years setlists have been brilliant

Great setlist! New material mixed in with some old. If he did "Just My Imagination" the way he did in '88, that would be the perfect way to end the show!

Hey, it's a dream show, so I don't mind the length. Think you did a great job balancing the new and old. "Moonbeam Levels" and "Shockadelica" are clever choices and would sound great with a full band.

I love "Clouds" "The Breakdown" and "U Know" I like "Breakfast Can Wait" but not as much as the other 3 tracks, I do think it will be a good album track, and will mix well when listening to the album as a whole. I'm super excited for PE and AOA.
