Which singles have never been performed live?

As far as I know, Prince has never performed New Power Generation live. Which other singles has he never performed, or at least have never been regulars on a tour?

I think it was One Tree Hill from The Joshua Tree that U2 decided not to release as a single because Bono's voice couldn't handle singing the high notes night after night on tour - funny, Prince is fine with not performing his latest single on tour (usually to the detriment of the single's success, I think).

i'd say some of the songs that were singles from 1996 upward
like

betcha by golly wow
the holy river
cinamon girl


i guess he might have performed them right around the release
like once or twice but i don't think i've ever heard them on
a regular setlist for a tour.
and true love lives on lollipops and crisps

"She Love Me 4 Me" was released as a single off TRC -- I don't recall him playing that live during the ONA tour.

"Thieves in the Temple" also seldom got any live exposure, certainly not anytime in recent history for a single that was a moderate radio success.
Check out The Mountains and the Sea, a Prince podcast by yours truly and my wife. More info at https://www.facebook.com/TMATSPodcast/

He played She Loves Me 4 Me during the soundcheck of the ONA tour in Columbus.

The Holy River was performed on Jay Leno back when it was released.
