Where is the best place to see Prince Live

Where is the best place to see Prince perform live? Toronto's cool, but we bleed Maple Leaf blue, not purple. What city? What Venue? Why?

I would have to say the Warfield in San Francisco. That is where Sheila E Live Romance 1600 was recorded. It is a really intimate setting.

Denver, CO

Pepsi Center, Coors Ampitheater, Red Rocks... doesn't matter!

Why??? Cause I live here and it saves me money. Means I don't have to fly to another city to see him.

I saw him at the Guvernment (Toronto) a few years back with no more than 3000 people. His ACC show was great and about as intimate as you can get in a 20 000 seat arena, but the crowd is not as wild as I've heard they are elsewhere.

That's what I mean. All the seats weren't purple, maybe 2/3, maybe. If you've ever been to Holland when the national football(soccer) team plays, the whole country is painted orange.They dance and sing before, during, and after the game.

Seeing Prince at Massey Hall in Toronto in June of 2002 was the best concert I've ever been to. I had first row centre seats in the first balcony and they were the best seats in the house IMHO. Ok, so I wasn't close enough to touch him, but he was right in front of me and I certainly felt as though I could reach out and touch him. He played for a little over 3 hours and his entire performance just kicked my ass!!

Yep, I saw this show too. It was fantastic, but I still loved Massey Hall even more.

Hey what abt DuMagness Arena at UofD?
I saw him trhere 4 Hit n Run

Nothing spectacular, just saying...

Paisley is the absolute best place! The vibe just cant be beat. Even during the 12001 Celebration when we were bored to tears by a third ONA show that week...it was just cool to take in the fact that you're in his house, so enjoy it!

As for Toronto, I've seen him at 3 venues (4 including nearby Hamilton) and my favourite was Massey Hall...up close and personal and a classy joint!

That Warehouse show was very cool to me cuz I actually got to be up front for the first time, but its all a blur now, although I do listen to the Going North disc once in a while.

Warehouse isnt a great venue though, its a big concrete hall with concrete pillars and alot of bad visual and audio areas. I saw Iggy pop there, and well...it suited his style more than Prince smile

Massey Hall was my fave. Hamilton Place was similar but something about Massey is more...real biggrin

There's only one place to see any live performace...


RED ROCKS MORRISON, CO

This would be the ultimate place to see P live.
The greatest live performer of our times was is and always will be Prince.

Remember there is only one destination and that place is U
All of it. Everything. Is U.

I was at Massey Hall 2. Great show but I got stuck behind a pillar off to the side. I hope Warehouse wasn't a disappointment because you were stuck behind the 6'4" dude with an 8 year old on his shoulder (me). Sorry.

....i agree that Paisley is an excellent spot...seems he has deep feeling 4 the Detroit area(it brought soo much 2 his world)...his vibe determines the show regardless of venue anyway...i'd prefer small venue 2 arena but his LIVE performances allways r exemplary n my eyes regardless of location cool
...i'd still LOVE 2 C him @ the FOX Theater N St Louis playing that pipe organ (1 of 5 ever made)as it rises up from underneath the floor of the orchestra pit...the fella's @ the STL-FOX have had issues with boyfriend from jump so if it ain't happened by now...
