Worst Live Performances What are some of Prince's worst live performances you can think of?
First one comes to mind is Emancipation at the 1997 Brit Awards... | |

I didn't care for TMBGITW at the World Music Awards '94 because I don't like when he lip syncs! There are exceptions, though (such as the '95 AMA's) Everybody stop on the 1...GOOD GOD! Uhh! | |

Any during the Andy Allo era. Andy's fantastic but not with Prince. The Leaf Shall Inherit The Earth. | |

Bingo & that ridiculous outfit he was wearing . It looked like he was wearing a kite. | |

The Christ at the 1998 Essence Awards ceremony. I hated the lyrics change, and the presence of Larry Graham. And Chaka Khan's "singing" was horrible. | |

I think the most recent SNL performance is one of the worst. I enjoyed the beginning but then all plectrum electrum, including an off rendition of Another Love. | |

What's that one bootleg where Prince performed with walking pneumonia? His voice was off, his timing was off and it took him about half the show to warm up. | |

The small set on the Paisely Park live stream and the recent SNL performance. I honestly never thought I could think 'wow that was just totally average' when it comes to Prince in a live setting. I got two sides... and they're both friends. | |

I honestly really enjoyed that performance. It was the reason I decided to sink £30 on Emancipation (then I got to HMV and found it was only a tenner)

He was lip-syncing. The whole music was pre-recorded. And that from mister "real music by real musicians". | |

the craziest thing was the amount of foundation he was wearing....I remember thinking while watching it, "damn P, you look like a ghost!" It was a highly cringeworty performance. | |

The first night at the Paladium in NYC in 1994 was dreadful. I brought a bunch of non-prince friends who waited till midnight and it was a lame performance.
conversely, the next night, I went with another big princeophile and it was a great show. The first time I heard GOLD was pretty magical. [Edited 12/11/14 14:05pm] | |

He was lip syncing yes, he only spoke a few lines. I still thought it was entertaining. | |

In general, Prince gives great performances. 2. American Bandstand 'gold pants' performance, and cringe worthy followup interview. 3. American Idol 'Lolita' performance 4. Baby Knows on Good Morning America...it was a so-so performance, and he was actually out of breath for the short talk afterwords. 5. All the performances on his 2014 Arsenio appearance, and the homophobic q&a that took place after. มีเพียงความว่างเปล่า ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | |

Cologne 2011 was by far the worst live performance I'd witnessed by any artist. Plain awful. | |

I know nothing about this.
Can you give some details? I'm dying to know! มีเพียงความว่างเปล่า ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | |

this was the one where he fired his entire crew after the show right? He was playing Ireland the next day and personally did a very long soundcheck. some info on the problems in the show are in the notes - http://www.princevault.co...July,_2011 | |

It sometimes makes me wonder if people don't like a certain performance he does with someone, say a protege, because they see it as that protege standing between them and their dream lover, Prince. | |

The legendary Cologne/Germany show in 2011. Or was it 2010? I don´t even WANT to remember. So bad that it was almost good. Almost. But...there are superstars who have done far worse. He still made the best of it but he easily could´ve won the audience´s hearts if he had just played a little longer despite all the problems. It was bad but in hindsight, it was still an interesting thing to witness as a fan.

I'm just now hearing about this concert. Was the sound crew just there to get a paycheck? | |

Essence Festival 2014 was quite bad. The SNL performance was fine by comparison. "..free to change your mind" | |
