I would have loved to see the 1999 tour live. Seeing it on video dosen't do it justice. Great flashback. "The little 1 will escort u 2 the places within ur mind" | |

[b][i] I remember those days that was the beginning
of my interest in the Mnpls Sound.....Controversy was the first I heard of Prince,but 1999 was the visual aspect especially the way the band seemed 2 vibe Andre,(later Brown Mark),Dez,Lisa,JJ,Dr, Fink,and Prince.....I decided that was what I wanted to do when I got older. LOL! We used 2 act out the video on our front porch on Oakwood ave. jmzhndx | |

I wish u could have. This in my opionion, was P at his best. I saw P twice on that tour. Once in L.A., Mar 28, 1983, the day after my birthday. And again, a little later in 83, at Long Beach. I still have this Rolling Stone issue. At this time, in some ways, P was hotter than he was during Purple Rain. SynthiaRose said "I'm in love with blackguitaristz. Especially when he talks about Hendrix."

NUMBERTWOFANATIC thanks 4 the read. It was real interesting. It’s amazing what was said about him then still apply 2day. He was shy then and he still is shy. I see where all stories come from. The early review where they describe his father as black and Italian and his mother a mixture of a bunch of things, the cockiness, often contradicting himself, mysterious, etc. I just love this man.  i really really dooooo..... | |

1999 Concert was a very good show, it was when Prince's stage show was more polished and you could see his growth. I thought the best show and more raw shows were the Dirty Mind/Controversy Tours. Prince didn't really have dance moves and kinda gyrated around stage. The Time was introduced and Vanity 6 as well. The concerts in San Francisco @ the Civic Auditorium were off the hook particularly the after shows. I thought he was a little strange wearing only bikini briefs and leg warmers but I music was slammin, so we overlooked the strangness and were fams ever since. | |

i really really dooooo.....Hope that one of the reasons u really love this man isn't based on the fiction that his father was black and Italian and his mother was a bunch of things, because none of that was true.

I saw this tour twice - only the 2nd and 3rd Prince concert I saw. Never knew that I would still be going to them 20 years later | |

I bought it at a newsstand on Kings Highway in Brooklyn. 
I also went to the 1999 tour at Radio City Music Hall. The line wasn't very long at all! We sat about 11 or 13 rows from the stage. I stood on my chair, in heels (and fishnets!) for the entire concert. I still have my t-shirt (and it still fits!). I purchased 3 instead of 2, so I had an extra. Wish I still had it. Wonder what it would fetch on ebay?  [Edited 2/9/05 13:14pm] | |

I still have mine too, and mine still fits. People ask me all the time where did I get it. I also still have my Controversy Rude Boy shirt from Santa Monica in 82. [Edited 2/9/05 13:14pm] SynthiaRose said "I'm in love with blackguitaristz. Especially when he talks about Hendrix."

I wore the t-shirt when I saw "The Artist" at Madison Square Garden in 1998. Someone passed a note to me (which I still have) inviting me to an after party. Something about how I must be a real fan, since I was wearing that old school tee.
Man, I wish I'd bought the V6 tee in '83, as well. | |

I don't know if there is anyway to verify this, but I swear to God I saw Prince on a local talk show in Cincinnati way back when he was in his band "Champagne".
The show was hosted by a guy by the name of Bob Braun, who was like the Regis of Cincinnati, and the show was called the "50-50 Club". I remember it cause I was maybe like 10 years old and this band played a song and as I watched I was thinking to myself, "Man these guys dress weird." Would love to find out if I'm right or not..... | |

The group was called Grand Central, later renamed Champagne. The musicians all wore suede-cloth suits with their zodiac signs sewn on the back (Prince, born on June 7th, 1960, had Gemini, the twins, on his). " | |

Is it just me, or does anyone else that went to the show feel old. I believe the 1999 tour was my second Prince show.. I was 12 or 13yrs old. Seemed perfectly normal back then. "..Just close your eyes and count to 10...and when U open 'em I'll B standing naked with nuthin' but a SMILE on.." | |
