Why didn't Prince ever play Showtime At The Apollo!?

That really pisses me off. Imagine how badass that would have been. If he did the whole show, live of course.

Imagine a long piano sitdown too? Good God. He just doesn't get it.

All you others say Hell Yea!! woot!

Why does it piss you off? I understand the Apollo Theater is a beacon of Harlem, NY and is one of the last instituitions standing that was built during the Harlem Renaissance-Black Mecca for generations of Black art from music, poetry, politics etc), but Prince not performing Showtime At The Apollo, although it would have been a sight to see and certainly would have been legendary. P not not playing the Apollo with the aforementioned said, isn't that big of a deal.

It would have been great, but I never could picture Prince playing on Showtime At The Apollo. I always thought he was too big for the show at the time. If it was still on today, he would probably do it.

It would have been cool to see him do an entire show as well as have his band play the sangs for the ameteurs.

I could had sworn seeing Prince perform at the Apollo in his The Max music video...perhaps I'm mistaken.

One could have noticed that the word Duh was underlined and had a different colour.

One could have noticed that one was in front of a web browser of some sorts which in most cases allows for following links, one of the key elements of the innertubez.

So he did play at the Apollo.
