I was just wondering which song/s of the tour really captures you back to the moments when you were in the concerts..

For me right now it is "1999" and "Chelsea rogers".

Starting to feel a little sad as well as this whole Prince experience will be over soon..

THANK YOU PRINCE!!! (just in case he lurks)

Definately "1999" last night
Awesome

Forever in my life

Beautiful ones So much emotions, my god the man can sing sounds the same live as he does on the recordings. How many artists do that?

Yeah loved that, such a suprise. But have to say opening with 1999 on the 14th was even bigger suprise and absolutely brilliant - highlight so far.

People in the crowd were very surprised to hear 7 too, even more than 1999.

I have not heard him sing the beautiful ones yet.. one of my favourites!!
Also waiting patiently for adore and pink cashmere.

he keeps teasing me when he says "do you wanna hear some old old school" and says "soft and wet"

i would love to hear "forever in my life" my favourite Prince song of all time. Do you think he will ever do "private joy" ? Thats would be so cool

Well, there are plenty of songs that I adored and was delighted to hear - lots of the album tracks from 1999 for example, Pop Life, Forever in My Life too, I didn't expect to hear them.

But the song of the tour for me, and I really never believed I'd be saying this - is Guitar. I thought the song was OK before the tour, but it's been a standout track with some great guitar-playing whenever I've been.

So far the ones that I have LOVED have been

The Beautiful Ones from his piano set on the 6th (just sooooo good)

Baby I'm a Star (from the 9th) (I'd played it 8 times in the car...partly at the excitable request of my travelling companion I confess....on the way and then he played it, it rocked!)

Guitar (from the 12th)....such a brilliant rendition

Ah damn, it's all just been too much fun so far. I've waited an age to see him again and I'd almost given up hope of seeing this stuff again so this run has just been beyond brilliant.

Controversy will always remind me of The O2 shows.

Ahhh so many!
1999 on Wed, as I hadn't heard it yet..plus Guitar and Satisfied.
Sometimes it Snows in April on the 31st
If I was your Girlfriend on the 4th...

I think!!
Plus of course Pop Life, and Erotic City (WHEN he plays it on 21st) and a newfound love for Controversy

Gutted I missed Forever in my Life

That's not one song is it...

The opening bit to "sign o the times" and "Purple rain". Never did care really for PR but seeing him do this live and the crowd doing the "whoo ooo ooo's" made me shiver. So glad he played it the second gig as the first one I was mid stream in the loo when I heard the opening riffs. You could hear all the ladies shout "FECKING HELL I DONT BELIEVE I'M MISSING THIS!!!"LOL.Damn my bladder!!!

I did that ran to the loo. .mid flow he stated playing 7. I ran around the arena..( coz the ladies r always miles away) banged through the doors. The steward tried to ask 4 my ticket. I ran passed him to my seat.

GC79 said:

Me too. IMO, it's not a real concert if there's no Controversy!

yoda7 said:

LOL

It's odd which songs we all like and like less isn't it

Controversy is one of my massive faves, always has been. I've been quite "subdued" in my reaction to it everytime I don't think

yoda7 said:

Hahaha!

Myself and stereoboy have mastered the Controversy dance moves although I was laughing too much to be able to do it properly last night.

Something in the Water on Wednesday night. INCREDIBLE.

This is a tough question!

Probably Chelsea Rodgers. Aftershow on the 6th and Main Show on the 13th. So funky.

Little Red Corvette (on the keys)
Controversy/Housequake
Forever In My Life

Definately the full version of Adore on Sunday 9th.....amazing!

Nicollette said:

Oh god, so many to choose from!!!!

Got to be "Sshh", "If I Was Your Girlfriend" and "Purple Rain" from the main show on the 9th!

Aftershow songs would have to be, without a doubt, "Chelsea Rodgers", "I Feel For You" and "3121" - loved it, loved it, LOVED IT!!!!!

I'm still in shock that I saw him live, even more in shock that I stood about 8 foot away from him all the way through the 3 hour aftershow and love and adore him even more than I thought possible!

Had the best night of my life - it's official!!!

For me it has to be Planet Earth when he opened with it, thought it was fantastic, love it

Controversy, Controversy, Controversy and Controversy. Yes, I went to two nights and was lucky enough to hear my favorite live track played four times!

During the 9th of Sept aftershow, towards the end of the encore of Controversy, Prince started the Housequake chant. He had tried to do it earlier in the main arena but "yall, didn't know the quake". This time, even people who had never heard it somehow knew what to shout.

"Who in this house knows 'bout the 'Quake?"
"WE DO, WE DO!!"
"Who in this house knows 'bout the 'Quake?"
"WE DO, WE DO!!"
"Do you really know 'bout the 'Quake?"
"WE DO, WE DO!!"
In the balcony! on the floor! JUMP UP AND DOWN!!!!!"

Controversy remains a massive high point wherever it appears in the show and as GC79 says - is the O2 song for me.

The songs that this tour has changed my opinions of them, though, are Shhh! which is just so unbelievably good live it's quite incredible, and If I Was Ur Girlfriend, as the funked up heavy version of that he is doing absolutely tears the arse out of that song

I'm glad I'm not the first to say it but:

PR because of the effect it has on the crowd, even on quiet nights! P ran the openening on the 9th then just stood around a while while the crowd whent oo oo oo oo (I think that was the 9th)

Also for me personally Shhh from the 9th also, But the question was "tour song" and I think PR has been the tour song
