What one tour do you most wish you could have witnessed live?

I've been to...

Lovesexy
Jam of the Year
One Night Alone
and Musicology twice.


I think I'm gonna go with...Sign O the Times! With 1999 as probably the first runner up.

All of his early ones (up to Lovesexy, the only one I did see). Especially the Triple Threat, Punk Funk, and Purple Rain tours. I would have loved to catch him in his earlier raw days

Lovesexy.
I was in college, working 2 jobs, and my parents were like, "Prince?! Uh,no- Books." and wouldn't lend me the money.

My roommate and her friends went, and came home telling me all about it. sad


(after seeing the video, I wish I could have seen Sign 'O' the Times, too!)

Lovesexy but I've witnessed it kinda sorta if you know what i mean. But I wish I was there front row center.
I'm an org elitist... totally unapproachable.

Lovesexy for me - the videos make me happy and sad all at the same time.

Happy to be witnessing such a happy, inspired, playful Prince..

And sad that I couldn't have been there to pump a lighter at the start and come away hoarse, full in the knowledge I've witnessed a genius at the height of his powers.

Being the wrong age is just pure dead rubbish.

Don't worry ... it's the REAL reason they've all been so quiet recently (particularly the deceased ones).

I got a call last week - relax, it's straight from them all direct ... they're going back on the road together!!!

It kicks off next month, US leg first: 'The Legendary Dead Or Alive Tour' -

(Mods, you may want to make this a sticky).
