Best Opening for a Concert

What three tracks would you like to see P perform as opening tracks for a concert?


I would love him to open with a LOUD full version of Endorphinmachine

Then go straight into I Would Die 4 U/Baby I'm a Star (I'm counting these as one track, a' la Purple Rain)

Then I'd like to see him knock everybody on their asses with a stonking version of Why You Wanna Treat Me So Bad with the Hohner turned UP!



How would you like P to open your dream concert?

Oops...I read it wrong. I thought the question was 3 different choices as openers. With that in mind, the first 3 songs would be...

Shockadelica
Housequake
Why U Wanna Treat Me So Bad?

Anxiety

high fashion/mutiny
illusion coma pimp & circumstance
1+1+1=3

not that any of these are my favorite songs of all time by prince, but i think they'd sound hot together as an intro set, just based on the energy and funk of the songs.

I'm hoping he never plays those again.... But Endorphinmachine would be great.... it was a kick-ass opener in 1995! music

EROTIC CITY

seeing Erotic City in Paris 88 was unbelievable!! What other pop icon would open with a "b-side" to such applause?

When You Were Mine
Housequake
Controversy.....wooooo! all at the begining
" Soaked in banana cologne
No wonder you're all alone
It's written all over your face
You're just-a rock hard in a funky place "

Welcome 2 The Dawn (acoustic) - maybe played from behind the curtain like the
Parade tour, or perfomed virtually solo on stage like Sign O' The Times... then..
Endorphinmachine - full on cranked up version like of the Gold Experience
tour. Then segue into a seriously bass heavy version of ...
Days Of Wild - hold on 2 yo wigs!
(sorry, it's all a bit 1995, but what hell!)
