ditto, but overall "Controversy" and the particular arrangement of it, closely followed by "If I Was Your Girlfriend"

Definitely the 9th, the oooo's seemed to go on for ages before he started singing.... I was just standing there singing with tears pouring down my face!!!!

no question CONTROVERSY

PEOPLE CALL ME RUDE !! CHANT amazing


oh

hang on

LITTLE RED CORVETTE on the 4th prince alone with guitar !! comes close

Controversy has been an absolute guaranteed banger at this tour.

Other personal faves have been:

I Would Die 4 U (piano)
Something In the Water (piano)
Kiss (always goes down well with the casuals)
Guitar (aftershow)
When you were mine (aftershow)
Empty Room (aftershow)

I Wanna Be Your Lover.

Piano solo, then the band kicked in. Quite possibly the best thing I've ever seen and heard in my life

Purple Rain on the opening night was special too. For years I've thought if I ever get the chance to see Prince perform that live, I'll be a wreck. Take my seat.....bam....first song is Purple Rain. I was, as predicted, a wreck for the duration of the song. Beautiful.

Amen.

been loving so many of the songs on the tour (infact i love them all ) but my tour songs have to be

Come Together - sure it is a cover but it sounds amazing especially when you have everyone chanting together, i just love the atmosphere

Controversy - People call me rude, i wish they all were nude, i wish there was no black or white, i wish there were no rules (sometimes ending i wish someone would dance tonight) with a bit of housequake shoved in = alot of fun and everyone wants to join in

3121 - at the aftershow i love this song live i dont want prince and the npg ever to leave

Sometimes it Snows in April - Beautiful song

might add some more before the end cos it aint over..... yet

I forgot to mention I feel for you...

This was really a great experience. I enjoyed it A LOT, and I'm very happy/proud for being there.

i loved Little Red Corvette on the keyboard it was all slow and dreamy lol..sign o the times was BANGIN!! and of course Purple Rain

Personally Joy & Repitition, never really put this song high up in my list but after hearing it live on the 3rd it simply blew me away

Controversy definitely rocked every night. Something in the Water was amazing. But I think A Love Bizzareon the 13th was my happiest moment.

It's not a song of the tour as don't think played too many times but I loved the piano version of Delerious

Has he played I Wanna Be Your Lover btw? He's teased it when I've been there but I aint heard it?

The Beautiful Ones in full on 6th Sep is my current fav of tour

Joy in repitition on 3rd.
So rare.
And shhh
xxxxx

a 1000 hugs and kisses.

Controversy.....an unexpected staple of the residency and a great fan song

Chelsea Rogers on Sept 13th

How great was that?.....and 2/3 of the audience had left so there was plenty of space to be an idiot !

1999 for me

Loved this song for ages. Hearing it live (TWICE! ) was just a privelege

Usually, I'm all for the rare stuff (1000 hugs & kisses was a good moment).

I've actually loved his version of Little Red Corvette: great vocals.

And, he's converted me to 3121 (which I never really liked): think it worked well as an opener.

However, on the 18/8 he stood in front of me & the missus while we slow danced and he sang "Shhh" to us. That moment is etched in my memory for life.

I cant stop thinking about The Beautiful Ones 6 Sept. It was so amazing it made me cry. Thankfully, the girl next to me did the same.
Cool? Yeah, I think so.....

I'm absolutely loving 'Take Me With U' at the concerts I've attended.

A beautiful song, never fails to move me, esp performed live

Carocool said:

It was sooo beautiful the way he sang it on the 6th it was so emotional I usually sing along to the songs but when he sang it then I just stood there stunned got welled up (sshhh dont tell) and Controversy and Pop Life are definatly my tour songs.

Definitly Purple Rain but non prince track has to be whole lotta love (Led Zepling i think ) on the 16th september it was brilliant.

I've got a LOT of time for your Prince taste!

I've been mulling it and I think that that night's rendition of the Beautiful Ones is the best I've seen this tour full stop. Was a heartstoppingly beautiful performance...I was awestruck. I've honestly never been a big fan of the song but seeing him do it live with that emotion....well....I cant begin to describe how good it was.

I was tickled for the (girls/boys) "people" in block 112/111 with the "PLEASE PLAY ADORE" sign tonight....guess you were quite happy...hahaha

Adore @ the main show 16/9
Guitar @ the main show 16/9

9 million bicycles @ aftershow 16/9

Are you for real? He sang a katie melua song!!! ICK!!! I feel like a need a shower? did he do it funky? or as is? I can barely cope with the thought! unclean! haha!

Chelsea Rodger encore will stay with me forever - even with sore feet and back and gritty eyes (on the go since 9 that morning - planes trains n automobiles and then some sweatty tube! and all in the same make-up till 4.45 am on friday! hmmm I was lookin goood! I think not)

If i was your girlfriend was a big one for me both shows I seen aug 11th and 13th sept as well as Alphabet Street on the 11th too - that was wild! oh and Whole lotta love at the 13th a'show. Who knew the zep could be so funky!

call me a sucker, but the verse and chorus of ILL DIE 4 U caused a beautiful buzz in my body...i wish he played this with the band and in full..
