!!LOVESEXY 88!!
I saw 3 shows and was totally blown away!!
The stage spectacle! The awesome band!
Manic set lists for TWO full sets!
The whole Camille conflict.
When he swung into the whole
Controversy/Superfunkycalifragisexi/Bob George
ending of the first set I thought I would
totally loose my shit! What a complete experience.
I loved it! biggrin
2nd place would be:
July 1994 New York Palladium kicked my ass!
That was one hard rockin mutha of a gig
PACKED with solid ass kickin' jams!
TIED for 3rd place:
NYC Today show 1998 outdoor performance
he did 3 songs for the TV broadcast & then
played for the huge crowd on the street for
over an hour!

One Night Alone NYC 2002
After totally enjoyable, but scattered
shows that I saw in 97 & 98, the excitement
is back in full force with Prince's
no bullshit jazz flavored "real music by
real musicians" show. I was in HEAVEN!
biggrin

The dream I had about him a few months ago. He was wearing yellow. It was very vivid.

Lovesexy 88--3 1/2 hours of total funk. He looked great the stage was awesome and the band was unbelieveable! I had front row seats for that concert--I'll never forget it.
Sheila E. on drums--- no words to describe it.

of the 30 or so gigs i've seen, this year's shows would have to be at or close to the top. the thursday night atlanta ona show (april 4, 2002) including soundcheck, show and aftershow, may be the tops. i think years from now, we will look back at the 2002 shows as some of the best performances ever. i think that the soundcheck access is what pushes it over the top of some of the older shows that i've seen. to see the band working through new arrangements and playing stuff that doesn't ordinarily get played in a very intimate atmosphere for me was just too way cool.

Ona New Orleans was the best for me UNTIL
I hit Minneapolis!!!
Like a 7-night dream...Can't pick any special
night...each had its own magic...but when
Prince sat on that tall chair and strummed
that acoustic guitar and openned his mouth and
sang..."Don't Play Me!" I wished that could
have lasted and lasted and lasted!!!
It's about the MUSIC and the ENTERTAINER!

So...how's everybody doing? smile

The first of 2 aftershows @ The Emporium in London 1995.

SIMPLY AWESOME!

Any1 else there? If so remember the sublime version of Day Of Wild? The crowd spontaneously singing "These r the dayz, these r the dayz!" to call Prince back on?
