Obviously those who attended more than one nite have an advantage over us one niters.
For me(21st september)it has to be the rip roaring edition of guitar .
I have a bootleg of one of the earlier concerts and he opens the show with a great version of lets go crazy.
God i'm bored,please come back prince.

When You Were Mine on the last night. One of my ultimate favourites, didn't expect in a million years that I would hear this song live. When I thought that concert couldn't get any better he does an encore with this - PERFECT!

When he opened with Planet Earth, its not my fav song but its a good song but but when he opened with it I thought it was just brilliant. Oh and of course when he teased us all with his very sexy version of Satisfied, that was just great. And I loved his three handed women song at one of his aftershows, just hilarious!

Arrrgh! I've been looking at this blank message page for 20 minutes, I can't decide! All the tracks from the 4th August were amazing, but on the 14th he played Forever In My Life so.....
I'll get back to you (one day)

The Beautiful Ones in the piano solo section Aug 28th, and The Question of U/The One on Sep 20th... both completely jaw dropping.

I can't tell you how much I'm hoping that this Chelsea Rodgers business includes a few live shows...!

It has to be Adore on 9th Sept.....just bliss!! Thanx P x

If I Was Your Girlfriend...really liked this song when it was originally released and was sad when he stopped playing it at the 21 nights. Definitely a highlight for me!

Just a few of my highlights:

main shows:
The Morning Papers on piano
I Would Die 4 U on piano
Sometimes It Snows In April on piano
Controversy, every time he did it
Anotherloverholenyohead - 3rd Aug

aftershows:
Partyup
3121, every single time
Begging Woman
Love Is A Losing Game with Amy Winehouse
Girls & Boys / Song of the Heart / Delirious / I Used 2 B The Same As U
Peach - the instrumental version

The "disco" section; Le Freak/Sexy Dancer/I feel 4 u / Controversy.....can that count as "one"?????

So many things to remember. But one definitely stands out:

Love is a Losing Game, with Amy Winehouse on vocals and Prince on guitar.

I went to five concerts and every one was different and held a special moment for me. Forever in My Life on 14th Aug put me in a magical trance, just so beautiful....The Beautiful Ones on 6th Sept was incredible....and on the final night my personal highlight was Girls and Boys cos I'd been waiting to hear that live and finally got it! But, too many to name just a few.

Making the journey on route to my first 21 nights show..(7th august)..Then waiting for Him to appear during the intro video skit..

From my memories: Calhoun Square (IndigO2, August 28th)

Empty Room August 14th aftershow

and the instrumental I Like It There on the 7th

Yes - When You Were Mine!! Love it. Didn't think he was coming back out and then for him to come back out to this....completely unexpected - brilliant!! like you I never thought I'd hear get to hear it live. And then followed by another of my faves, girls and boys. What a way to end to a brilliant night.

This was closely followed by watching the video intro on my first of the 21 nights shows, the excitement building and then opening with 1999!!! Another surprise, first time he'd played it in years.

And then there was Forever In My Life on 14th...

Think I could go on and on.

On the downside...only being able to make two aftershows and him not being at either of them

My highlight was when he started with I feel 4 U on the last night. God I love this song I really had tears in my eyes as it's the first time I've heard it live

Every time he sang Purple Rain (gets me every time) and Satisfied on 1st September (I may be small but so is dynamite). Funny, sexy, and brilliant.

18th August - My First Prince concert and what an experience.

6th Sept - Lets Go Crazy opener...oooooh yes

21st September - THE WHOOOOOLE NIGHT Plus Girls and Boys as a Grand Finale done it for me

28th august: 7/Come together also the piano section and Nothing Compares 2 U (So powerfull!)

It was the first time I ever saw him live and I sure hope it won't b the last time.

Snap, I was there that night it that was amazing. My highlight, and fondest memory hearing him play Adore at the piano, it was heavenly!

So many highlights of that night as i saw both main show and aftershow but yes that was pretty awesome on the piano

Apart from the little snippet of Question Of U on 1 Sept, and fascinating Little Red Corvette during piano segment on 28 August, it's got to be the ballad from Aftershow on 1 Sept. I think it was 1,000 Hugs & Kisses. It was just beautiful... anyone else remember this one?... would love confirmation. The audience were in complete awe, could've heard a pin drop... amazing!

All 4 shows I went to were my highlights of the year but if I have to pick ONE single part it will have to be

Final night

The Beautiful Ones


I'm not ashamed to say that I cried.....that song does unspeakable things to me and for him to play it meant the world to me.....

Dx

Controversy nearly every time. But there are quite a few to choose from. Worst live (O2 Arena) was Chelsea Rogers. Wasn't punchy enough.

Sometimes it Snows in April...
Man I screamed so hard when he started playing this song I nearly puked!

A very close second was
The Beautiful ones

I missed Poplife.... As P only played it once during the o2 run and on a night I wasnt there, if i'd heard it I would have died right then n there really.....

Too many highlights :-

1. Joy In Repetition and Peach - 3rd Aug o2
2. Guitar, Love Bizarre and Chelsea Rodgers - 13th September o2
3. Purple Rain - 21st September o2
4. When U Were Mine, Stratus and Redhead Stepchild - 1st Sept Indigo
5. Around The World In A Day - 13th Sept Indigo
6. Love is A Losing Game - 21st Sept Indigo

Oh and Controversy every single night.

I agree Controversy was superb live and seemed to go well as an encore Chelsea Rodgers was fantastic at the indigo2 on september 9th I couldn't believe it as i was standing right next to Shelby

It has to be 1,000 hugs and kisses. First time i heard that live.
