I think I'd choose Lovesexy. I'm kind of enamored with that era right now. The concerts were almost like mini musicals. There was lots music with a little acting thrown in, and plus Cat! I would have liked to see her strut her stuff!

I began listening to Prince in 1983. I was under 18 and a very obiedent child so there were no road trips to see Prince.

When I got out on my own, I was broke and the only one I knew into Prince enough to take any kind of serious road trip to see him. I also never knew where he was playing so I didn't see him.

I finally got to see him for the first time in 1993. He was touring for the O+> cd, so I'd LOVE to see ANY tour before that one.

I would have to say Lovesexy also. Many have stated how fantastic a show that was and I'm sorry I missed it. Musically that would be the show for me. I've never been into camping out to get tickets and ending up way in the back or in the nose bleed section, that just isn't my cup of tea. I need to be near the stage where all the energy is.

OK, I guess I bombed on picking a thread topic! Come on people. I know not all of you have seen EVERY concert tour.

Parade tour, cause it looks like that was his best!

I agree!!!!! It makes downright depressed that I was only 4 years old when Prince was lookin' that fine!

Dirty Mind tour -- loved the "punk" style and attitude
1999 (triple threat) tour -- it's when i became a fan but i was too young to go
one of the Lovesexy '88 Paris aftershows
also would've love to have seen some of his guitar-heavy work from '93-'95

Definitely Sign O'The Times-that concert dvd is awesome,and it kills me 2 think about having missed this 1!

Same here...even though I wasn't born.

Purple Rain. He was the biggest thing on the planet that year.

which ever he was doing in 1999.

Dirty mind tour, seeing the real freak in him!.

Lovesexy.... It was the era I knew about Prince existence. I saw him in the tv and it was love at first sigh...so I would like 2 enjoy the whole era...

Lovesexy. I was in 11th grade when this tour was on. My cousin was going and asked me to go too, but my overprotective parents would not let me. I was a massive PRINCE FREAK in HS and wanted to go so badly. My cousin made it worse by telling me how awesome the concert was the next day.

..that was WRONG to rub it in like that!!!
I would want 2 c Purple Rain, just simply because that " time" in my life really locked in alot of emotional things for me ! I had listen to Prince way B4 that, however, I was too young to really know the things he was singing about !!! lol, ( OOPS..just really gave out the age on that one )

The Rick James "Fire It Up" tour with Prince as the opening act. That's both of my favorites on the same tour trying to outdo each other.

The purple rain tour
and why? why wouldnt I

Dirty Mind!

Just because.

One Nite Alone. I wasn't able to make this show and I love The Rainbow Children/Xenophobia stuff.

Yeah. I had a chance to actually see P at The Roxy when he was touring off of his second album. My cousin had bought tickets for us both but I ended up getting really sick and I missed a week of school so my mom wouldn't let me go. I was 10 at the time. Then again, when I was 11, another cousin of mine had bought us tickets to see P during his Dirty Mind Tour. Again, I got sick shortly before the show, and this time, I decided not to go, cuz I was just too sick. So, my cousin took his girlfriend instead but he bought me a concert t-shirt. FINALLY, the next year, I got to see P at the Santa Monica Civic in Feb of 82 on his Controversy Tour.
