I know when Prince plays Adore,one of my favorite Prince slow jams ,ever,he performs only parts of the song,this first verse and chorus.Has anyone here heard the song in its entireity in concert?If he has performed the whole song live,which concerts and where?Adore is the BOMB!Peace!

There was an aftershow in I believe May of 1987 that was possibly the first live performance of it.It was sung pretty much in full with Boni Boyer ad-libbing toward the later portion of it.

A few regular and aftershows in 2004 feaured full band versions as well as acoustic versions.Othe than those,the Lovesexy and One Night Alone shows featured Adore quite often as well. Hope that helps.

I have a version that he does the whole song, but no idea where its from or when, it goes for like 12 minutes where i think he leaves the stage and then comes back on and says thank you to the crowd..thats all i got

I have a very good version thats labeled- Prince- a celebration (Minneapolis June 13, 2000) 11:59
