For me it is 'Somewhere Here On Earth'. Absolutely beautiful song which has grown on me to the point that I now have it on repeat when working at night. Prince's performance of it was spot on every time, though it's a pity not everyone in the audience respected it enough to stay and listen. Every night I was there (except for the last night) it was an excuse to get some more beer!

All the critics love you in new york - I loved that at the aftershow.

Black Sweat from the 1st and 11th shows.

Controversy!

Ive always loved that song - was so so happy to hear it live!!!!

I keep playing George Clinton's Atomic Dog. It reminds me of waiting for the curtain up at the Indigo.

if i was ur girlfriend and joy in repetition are awesome live although i didnt get to hear joy in the flesh i saw it on 3121 and have listened to it plenty on the ONA LIVE AFTERSHOW CD. He also played a fav of mine on both occasions!! which was excellent live.....ADORE.

"Alphabet Street"!

Me and the missus were strolling around London on saturday singing:
"we're going down... Oxford Street..."
"we're going down... Regent Street..."
"we're going down... Old Compton Street..."
and smiling/grinning like idiots

the whole new album

alot..

Purple Rain
If i was your girlfriend
Controversy
Little Red Corvette - live version from the 28th ive played it 93 times, wow lol
SOTT
Future Baby Mama
The Beautiful Ones

Controversy and Chelsea Rodgers.

Sssshh

Would love to have the Adore he sung at the keyboard

I cant stop playing Pop Life, Chelsea Rodgers and Controversy (gotta do that dance)

I've been listening to lots of Sly Stone!

And watching the Aladdin gig again... it's funny how it takes on a whole new relevance after all the aftershows. I love it to bits.

funnily enough it's 'i wish u heaven'

my 1st show on august 14th someone had a banner which said 'i wish u heaven'

i haven't heard it once in at least 10 years but whoever that person was revived my loved for it

was it an orger by any chance?

august 14th sat in 102 or 103ish...?

'the one'

his recent reworking/rearranging of it is totally fucking stunning. amongst the best things he's ever done. far far better than the decent original single version.

he should re-record this arrangement and release it

Seconded. I was wondering when someone was going to mention this. Fabulous arrangement and the most spectacular vocal. The NPS version was nice, but it's like the song has unexpectedly found its stride. P, if you're reading this, re-record it with the band and make it a B-side...

(anyone else miss the B-side phenomenon since the demise of the "single"?)

Thirded !
This was one of the best live songs for me especially with the Question of U intro - fantastic

Haven't stopped listening to

Guitar
Sshh
Joy in Repetition
If I was Your Girlfriend
I Feel for You

I've got such amazing memories of the 9th September but these songs will always, always make me smile! Haven't listened to Purple Rain by choice yet because I know I'll end up crying!! Chris Moyles played it on the radio about 1 1/2 weeks ago and I was sitting in my office with tears rolling down my face - don't think he knew I needed to psyche myself up to hear it!!!

empty room .

I seem to listen to One Night Alone more than anything. Don't like the beginning of Joy In Rep. though as it's a little tacky (sounds like my daughter practicing her hammer-ons and pull-offs). However of them all I love jamming along to Cream or it could be the other one, y'know, the one that goes on "for twenty minutes".

I definately agree with The One, but also Musicology, Black Sweat, Chelsea Rodgers, and Love is a Losing Game- although he TOTALLY improved that song at the Aftershow.

I totally agree with it, when I first got my free cd from the Daily Mail, I already liked it but hearing it live is so emotional what a beautiful song.

Controversy

Where can I find Love is a Losing Game ? From what you are saying, I wont get the same version but I dont have it.

I totally love the whole of Planet Earth and cant stop playing it, its driving my daughter crazy! (8yrs old).

Also, any song that he is actually talking in because I feel he has become a close friend and hearing his voice feels like he is still around and close to me.

Carocool said:

it's on Amy Winehouse's fantastic Back to Black album- but be prepared it doesn't have Prince playing the guitar!!

skipper1958 said:

Will have to get it. It would be wicked if they could release it on DVD - does anyone know if there was a camera rolling on that last night AF ?

Somewhere here on earth...I love the cd version of this song. But when he played it august 14th - the song went straight in2 my list of absolute fave Prince songs. Lawd it was beautiful - butterflies all stirred up just thinking about the 14th.....wish I could put this concert exp. on repeat...miss it OH SO much!!!
