What "one" song would you want Prince to perform...

That's from an officially released album/project and that Prince has yet to play live?

Baby? Ronnie Talk To Russia? Horny Toad? Cindy C? Trust?

Once long ago, I had a dream that Prince offered to play any one track of my choosing for my birthday. I was woken up before I could make my request mad

While I would love to hear Tambourine played in its entirety, he has already played a portion of the song so I'm taking the track out of contention. Moving on, I chose:

In This Bed eye Scream

In all honesty, Hello (Fresh Dance Mix version) was a close second

Eye chose "Annie Christian" even though he played it on the "Controversy" tour. Also the lyrics don't go with his relgious believes anymore. But he can rock it live with 3RDEYEGIRL. It is an underrated classic! The intricate guitar work on the studio version is a jazzy lead guitar "MasterPiece"! This song never gets much attention in the #PurpleArmy. He can rock it instrumental with no lyrics.

eye will ALWAYS think of prince like a "ACT OF GOD"! N another realm. eye mean of all people who might of been aliens or angels.if found out that prince wasn't of this earth, eye would not have been that surprised. R.I.P. prince

I want Prince to play Sleep Around in my bedroom wearing a mankini.

Either that or a complete version of Computer Blue. Mankini optional.

I don't know which songs exactly he has and hasn't played live, but I'd also quite like to see Big Tall Wall.

"Arms Of Orion", but only if Sheena is willing.

"Wall Of Berlin", but only with Mike B and Sonny T.

"Joint 2 Joint", but then we need Mr. Glover for the tap dance solo and Poet 99. It'd be great to see & hear Rhonda and Prince slappin' the bass fantastic, though! Put Ida on guitar, too!

"SexMe?SexMeNot" (it's a later Prince like the old Prince, imho)

He did many great obscure songs at that celebration in 2001.

Is this what you mean?

Exactly! He's played Arms of Orion as an instrumental only - to actually hear him fully peform something like this which we've never heard live before would be so cool.

I'm totally down with your "Walls of Berlin" pick. I would love to see that.
