Which of these two excellent performances do you prefer most and why?

For me it's Electric Chair. I like the song better and i like the "routine" the band does during the performance

Electric Chair although Fury rocked .

Now Electric Chair,Fury, or Party Up ?

I like the song Fury live better.


But Prince flinging his gorgeous hair, his shiny shirt, shaking his hips, and workin' it like a hooker in Bejing just can't be beat. Electric Chair it is

I have to say Electric Chair! I can't tell you why, but that's my answer, and I'm sticking to it.

Electric Chair.

F U R Y is a much better crafted song, and songs are what win me over.

Electric chair can only be held together with a lot of theatrics.

okaaay, that's a new one for me, "like a hooker in Bejing", (whatever that means)

didn't see the Party Up performance. but considering that era, the band and what Prince was trying to communicate with that album and song, that sounds like it would be a KILLER performance. i need to see that one!

i disagree Rightly that "Electric Chair can only be held together with theatrics", i think it's equally well crafted musically and lyrically as Fury

Electric Chair KICKS from the opening drums all the way til the end. It's lyrically infectious, great hook.

"i saw your friend first, that's who i danced with, all the time i was watching you." - that's such a Princely lyric

Electric Chair...cuz like HELLO it was the 80s!! The 80s ROCKED!!!

Electric Chair does rock

Damn it, I stand alone in the midst of chaos .

The usual.

Fury. I just don't like Electric Chair as a song. Although, the visuals were cool.

Plus to add to which Margie Cox was singing her ass off on the backin vox to Electric Chair it was amazing! So funky so soulful so electric!

I love the Electric Chair performance and at the time it had me going ga-ga but in the end Fury was a better performance IMO cause it was such a shocking guitar God like performance that had so many people talking about it the next day

Oh and Party Up was a shocker of its day too! Love how he stormed off the stage at the end - brilliant!
