You were right. I spent many a night at a club, or Paisely, or Glam Slam, or Ruperts or ??? on the rumor he might be playing...and he offten did.
The glory days of such, for me, were the Erotic City shows he did at Glam Slam MPLS; those were so cool with the coldcuts and the food laid out, and, if I remember, the cover was like $5 or so and he would just be at his most The Artist coming out at 2 AM or so.
Dose where da days. | |

All in the Detroit area, about 6 or 7. Two in our biggest arena at the time (now demolished), once in our biggest outdoor venue, and 3-4 in our downtown smaller clubs. I have to go back and look to be 100% sure. | |

I was there very front center! It was also my first show! I think he played being late off because he was talking to his wife. But I think it was due to it being all general admission.(by area). We had floor tickets and came from Las Cruces and stood in line for HOURS! But we were some of the very first to get in and onto the floor... "Keep on shilling for Big Pharm!" | |

I saw him once, in LA in 2011 or so, during the 21 nights show at the Forum. It was fine. It was slick. The gold body suit. I don't think any rare songs were performed that night. My favorite parts were hearing his voice for the first time as he introduced Nikka Costa, and thinking "wow, that's really him and he's here." Later, he looked directly into the camera, and his face was broadcast staring out into the arena, and we all lost our collective minds. It was a totally diverse crowd, too, which i loved. I remember a bunch of people were allowed onstage to dance, and older white woman with big glasses and bare arms was among them, and she was into it, so Prince lead her downstage center and let her do her thing, which was wonderful. But I've never had enough money to make arena shows worth the time. I always sit in the back half, and the performer is always a speck of light, like a tinkerbell. There's the screens, and that's cool, but I'm alway kind of bored. If there's any spontaneity occurring, maybe somewhere near the stage, it rarely reaches up to my section, and the whole thing makes me feel like a lookie-loo, gazing down on other people's good time.

My experiences… . 1- September 26, 1997 - Jam of the Year - GM PLACE, Vancouver BC . Graham Central Station opened. Had decent seats, lower part of 100 level directly across from stage. . 2- September 27, 1997 - Jam of the Year - Gorge Amphitheater - George, WA . Chaka Khan opened. Awesome seats, 7th row on the floor, just left of center with his piano directly in front of us - perfect for the show stopping “How Come U Don’t Call Me” . 3- September 28, 1997 - Jam of the Year - Rose Garden - Portland, OR . Chaka Khan opened. Less good seats but still 100 level . 4- April 29, 2002 - One Nite Alone - Paramount Theatre - Seattle, WA . Balcony. My preference in that venue. Loved when Maceo came up to the balcony. . 5- August 31, 2004 - Musicology - Key Arena - Seattle, WA . Favorite time seeing him - 4th row floor . 6- December 19, 2011 - Welcome 2 America - Tacoma Dome, WA . Crummiest seats I ever had to one of his shows, but they were only $20 each, still so worth it . 7- April 26, 2014 - Live Out Loud - The Joint (Hard Rock Hotel) - Las Vegas . Balcony. 2nd show of the night. . 8- April 27, 2014 - Live Out Loud - The Joint - Las Vegas . Balcony. 2nd show. Loved hearing “Dreamer” live and great covers of “Let’s Go” and “Crimson and Clover.” Never would’ve guessed in a million years it would be my last time seeing him perform. I’ve been informed that my opinion is worth less than those expressed by others here. | |

Well 21 Nights was mostly priced at $25, so it definitely didn't break the bank. I discovered that even great seats that were priced much higher, were eventually repriced at $25. | |
