When he opened his mouth and that beautiful voice came out

lol, see i had only heard bits and pieces about Prince up until i saw Purple Rain that year....

When he rose up from beneath the stage while reciting the opening lines of "Let's Go Crazy" during the Dec. 30th, 1984 Purple Rain Tour in Dallas, TX. I went crazy! The lights, the steam, and his head of curly hair (back then) slowly coming up from the stage floor. The movie "Sign 'o' the Times" also blew me away. And, the Lovesexy concert was absolutely amazing from start to finish.

seeing 'im being himself was more than enough for me.

I've only seen him live once - on the One Night Alone Tour at Hammersmith Apollo or whatever it's called this week.

Anyways, I was really excited for the whole thing, and I remember when he started playing his solo in Rainbow Children, I had the opera glasses out and seem to remember yelling to my then girlfriend, "Look at his little hands!"

I'd just had an operation on my leg so couldn't stand up for the whole show. I was sitting down when he did that slow blues version of Got a Broken Heart Again and all I could see was his shadow on the wall, and it still looked amazing. Had to hold back a tear, which is so embarrassing!

P

Prince performing "Darlin Nikki" in the PR movie.

I had only listened to him up to that point, other than the 1999 and LRC videos which I loved.

But when that red light was on and he did his thing *SPROING*

Same with me... only I'm a newbie in this whole Prince fan thing... so it wasn't until this summer.

It was that, and his "I love you too, baby" in his I Would Die 4 U performance on the Purple Rain DVD...

Oooh, it's exciting stuff being a Prince fan! Be prepared for your friends not coming round as much as they used to, though.

"No, wait - you've GOT to hear this..."

NO! I CHANGE MINE TO THAT!

Everytime I see Darling Nikki, I swear I cream myself...

BT11 said:

Yes. I was transfixed. The world became Apollonia...

Damn. That boy SURE was talented. I wonder whatever happened to him?

A few things in the beginning but I was real young and wasn't into him yet but when I was in 5th grade this brotha posed naked on the cover of Lovesexy.

The Good was - Purple Rain and the motorcycle

He is Mindblowing.

When he jacked off his Tele during Baby I'm A Star when I first watched my Purple Rain laser disc.

That's exactly what got me hooked in the first place

.

seeing him scream at the end of Do Me Baby, live from about ten feet away in 83

lovesexy tour, he walked past the basketball hoop, and with his back turned, flipped the ball over his shoulder, and sank the shot! All while singing into the mic... didn't miss a beat.

I think it was really a lot of things combined that hooked me in one moment to Prince. But, what comes to mind, is being 13 and staring at Prince in his purple trench coat and that thick black hair. I loved that look--I loved that he loved purple. I loved the layout on the little red corvette and 1999 videos. They were so different, so grounding breaking back then. Overall--I think it was that he was totally GLAMROCK but in a completely soul-funky way.

I remember that .... That was tight...the outfits had to go but the concert was nice.

herb4 said:

LMAO!

I don't know what's the most mind-blowing thing is for me. But I really like the part, in Baby I'm a Star, when he makes that kiss noise.

the little red corvette video.

After he had his ribs removed, he managed to give himself a blow job during a london concert. People were amazed.

MINDblowing, dude. MIND.

Speaking of BJs (Not the retail Giant) When he had Wendy simulate buffin' the helmet in concert that was mindblowing. (Blowing) Never saw that happen on stage before Prince.

sgmusic said:

What was even more mindblowing is the way she was dressed and her hair and everything made it look like a clone of him going down on himself. Weeeeiiird...

ass-less pants!

Well, the fact that he was so GORGEOUS--the Jet Magazine Afro picture was the first time I ever saw him back in '78. Totally blew my mind. Second place would have to be when dude decided to start performing in a trench coat, G-string and legwarmers. (Even though, by then we had the dude from Parlaiment Funkadelic who wore the diaper--but it just wasn't the same sexiness!)

When he was doing the half time show with Justin Timberlake and his nipple pierced tit popped out.
