No contest.Controversy blew me away!!!

Forever in my Life - Tues 14th

Lets Go Crazy for me, helped me through a lot of bad times sticking that on and just thinking 'hey lifes goes on' so hearing it live makes hairs stand on my arms. Also loved him doing Bill Wither's 'Use Me' at aftershow, amazing

That's my current favourite, although 3121 on Saturday was great too.

Ballad of Dorothy Parker

controversy on the 14th definitely!

Controversy for me! I liked that song but now I love it!!

If aftershows count, I'd have to say Superstition.

1999

Controvery for sure....followed by Girls & Boys

and.....


The Toilet Seat Blues.....

Joy in Repetition followed by the rock version of Anotherloverholenyohead on Fri 3rd (right?) - AMAZING! Esp the way JiR was acted out with one of the Twinz. Loved it.

Ok, I've cheated, that's two... and I almost chose Partyman from Sat night (it iced my cake!)

Controversy...never really liked this before but loving what he's doing with it now.

And he can play If I Was Your Girlfriend every night and I'll never get bored of it...in fact all the stuff from SOTT that he's played is amazing!

Would like to hear a few more different tracks though - Black Sweat doesn't really work for me.

Was never a huge fan of Joy & Repetition until the 3rd, it blew me away live

Sat 4th Aug. A FULL acoustic version of Little Red Corvette. 20 000 singing "but it was SATURDAY NIGHT i guess that makes it alright". Never forget it.

yeah joy in repetition was amazing from fri the 3rd... the purple smoke, the blistering guitar.. the act... the audience fell silent coz only the fans knew it.. but u could tell everyone was like wow.

also if i was ur girlfriend surprised me, everyone seemed to know it.

shhh was a highlight but then that song has always been awesome live

and anotherlover was also amazing.

dead right, before the night I would of never imagined that Joy & Repetition would work live, but I soon changed my tune, hats off to Prince that night for delivering a truly electrical performance of said tune

Well, the version of 'Planet Earth' at the first show was quite incredible, but for night after night sheer joy it has to be 'Controversy' for me too, with the above honourable mentions to 'I Wanna Be Your Lover'. Mosts surprising for me have to be the 1-2 of '1999' and then 'Forever In My Life' at the show last Tuesday.

ill be different – I thought “here on earth” was stunning on Tues 14th but overall Controversy has been great on each show, and possibly musicology – gets people to their feet

"Le Freak" from the 11th of August show

Controversy has been great. I also loved the funky version of If I was Your Girlfriend on 7th Aug, and ALHIYH at the aftershow on the opening night....sung by the audience with a monster guitar solo from Prince.

I have been wanting to hear this song live since the One Night Alone Live release. Holy Shit! If Prince or anyone who even speaks to the person who brushes the stage who could tell someone who can speak to Prince Please play it again on September 16th!!!

Although Forever in my life is my favorite song - Controversy is defo doing the do!
