Remember back in '93 when Controversy magazine took a poll of what songs fans most wanted to hear live?

The top choices were The Beautiful Ones, The Cross, Raspberry Beret and Sign O the Times I believe. Lo and behold they were all added to the following Act II tour.

What if Prince did that now? How do you think it would go? As great as the aforementioned songs are, I personally would hope (keeping in mind no bootlegs or sexually explicit lyrics) that you guys would take this as an oportunity to hear some never played or rarely played classics.

I would hope that songs like Crucial, Good Love, Joint 2 Joint,It's Gonna Be Lonely or Shockadelica that have never been played live would get the top votes. I'd also love lost gems like Anotherloverholenyohead, Why U Wanna Treat Me So Bad?,The Holy River or Willing and Able would make their return.

What 3 songs would you pick?

For a long time, I've wished he would perform I'm Yours, which I still love--plus, it would give him the opportunity to do an incredible guitar solo.

I've never seen him perform Thieves in the Temple live, and I'd really like to. I'd say it's one of his best songs, let alone one of his best hits.

And for my third, I'd pick a random song: New Power Generation. I've just always loved it.

Well, I'd like to hear him sing (if you've seen him performm any of these, how was it?)

Its Gonna Be lonely-One of my faves

Thieves in the Temple-This would be really good live

Sexuality-I just feel the need to dance and sing along to this song
U can cut off all my fins - But 2 your ways I will not bend
I'll die before I let U tell me how 2 swim
And I'll come back again as a dolphin

Has he ever played Comeback live? I'd guess not, because of the subject matter?
