i think the best live track by price is shhh, especially the guitar solo, its amazing

Housequake on Sign O' The Times.

The Lovesexy tour, would be his best live performances... ever!

My vote for Best Ever Live Performance of the song Purple Rain: Reno, March 2004!!!

Oops, am I getting off-topic?

The best was when Prince performed at the Mill City Music Festival! That whole show was amazing!

sign of the times concert film kicks ass. also prince singing purple rain at the 85 american music awards.

The concert was great. The crowd was 75% drunk and beligerent- at best.
I saw so many fights before it even started and then finally the concert started. Prince was great and Mayte was dancing on the huge speaker right over me, but it's hard--IMO--to enjoy something when everyone around you is fucked up.

i would have to throw the Louisville show at the Gardens during 1998 in the ring. the place was packed at a couple thousand strong. everyone had waited 3 hours to get in the joint, and when Prince hit the stage the fucking place ignited. the crowd was groovin and chantin. at one point, as the crowd had an unprompted chant going prince stops and shouts 'oh its going to be like that huh?', kicks his foot over his head, goes down into a spin, and sliiiiides back up. the place went apeshit. hahahhaa i love that guy

actually, it was in 1997. getting old...

he started to sing too soon in one spot at Syracuse
the Reno event was much better -- he was WAY happy!
and his long guitar solo was gorgeous!
i just wish NPGMC had let us know about
his impromptu Reno Hilton performance earlier that week
and a chance to see the band sometime during the rehearsal week
would've been cool too... but the fact Prince even came to Reno...

my vote for best live performance: Fillmore 2001 @ 3am (San Francisco)
closely followed by most any Lovesexy show, 1988

If so , i have it , but can't remember
I have many boots i only heard half of


started to sing too soon was funny edit

i saw it in person
but i did see the whole Reno show available on the 'net at one time
sound quality wasn't very good at all

OK , then i guess it's the same version
i'll check it out as soon as i'm home
(i don't think the sound quility is that bad , btw , really)

that you were there

The last time i saw him live was 10 years ago

I like the boots ;
4 those On Valium
Paard Van Troje/Den Haag/Holland (AKA Small Club)
