Rarest Songs you've seen performed live? Thought this could be an interesting thread... Obviously it depends on when a song is played and how much it has been performed but what are the ones that really stand out to you as unique and rare? For me.... The Ladder - Manchester ONA 2002 ATWIAD - Indigo2 Aftershow 2007 Hot Summer - Wercheter Boutique, Belguim 2010 Paisley Park - Manchester P4U Arena 2014 "Still Crazy 4 Coco Rock" | |

I change the rules and do what I wanna do | |

- Paisley Park - The Ride
I'd say anyone who got to hear Electric Intercourse have serious bragging rights considering he hasn't played it since 1983. Also, anyone who was there for Moonbeam Levels ( I got two sides... and they're both friends. | |

Really wish I had seen the Gold Experience tour, I skipped it partly cause I was too young to go on my own and didn't have the money for a ticket. Also kinda wish I had gone to Roundhouse now to add those to the list. Also remembered seeing "Ballad of Dorothy Parker" at Indigo 18th august 2007 which was a massive treat.

I feel very privileged to have seen both 1000 hugs and kisses (O2) and Electric Intercourse (Birmingham). | |

Oh yeah and The Ladder in Manchester 2002. I'd forgotten that! | |

The Ladder is not really rare, he has performed that many times. [Edited 6/8/14 4:26am] | |

- What's My Name and Chocolate. In one show both songs got a live debut on July 26 (am) 2011 Melkweg Amsterdam. And Chocolate again in the July 26 (pm) show in Ahoy Rotterdam.
- Girl (July 11 2011 NSJ Rotterdam)
As far as I know there are no other performances of Chocolate and Girl... And What's My Name in Melkweg was closer to the studio version, with Prince on bass, really different from the way currently played. In that show they also performed Ballad Of Dorothy Parker (full) with Venus De Milo inclusion. Pretty rare too?!
As for covers: Foxy Lady opening of NSJ concerts (July 9). And Love is A Losing Game the night after Amy passed away (Melkweg, July 25 (am) 2011).
I guess you could say 2011 was a good year for rare performances - well for the NSJ and Melkweg shows anyway

. Hot Summer - Werchter 2010 Dear Mr. Man (Prince on bass) - NSJ 2011
Also, a nice concert for me was Le Grand Palais in Paris 2009 with Mountains, Why U Wanna Treat Me So Bad, Girl and The One U Wanna C

Don't know how rare it was for the time in 1995, but I loved it when Prince sang I love u in me. Just his voice & his beautiful guitar. | |

The thread topic is to discuss the witnessing of performances of songs rarely performed.
