Is it best to see Prince Live Drunk or Sober?

I was wondering what yall experiences were with seeing Prince Live either high or sober.....I've seen him Drunk 3 times and although it seemed to be better I dont remember much

I've also seen him sober and I remember more but it doesnt seem to be as fun?

What have you experienced?

I think he is much better live when he is drunk.

I usually have a couple of bottles of beer under my seat at a concert and just sip them at intervals throughout.
It just keeps me at that 'everything's wonderful' stage without actually getting so drunk I don't remember much of the concert.

Actually, I was drinking last night and when I went to sleep I had a dream that we'd received better tickets for the O2 gig than the seats we've actually got. We took our seats right by the stage and waited and waited and, yep, I woke up before the dream concert started. Damn Prince, he can't even show up on time in a dream.

Better sober because if you're drunk you might forget somethings you've seen and you surely will have to go to the bathroom, that's a good waste of money and Prince ain't cheap!

I hate when people come to concerts and get wasted. I think it's stupid. I have been to shows where girls are in the bathroom throwing up, or have to be held up by their friends. What the hell is the point?! Stay home, put on the CD or a DVD, and pass out. confused

How about a comfortable buzz? You (or at least I) can drink without getting drunk. When you leave the concert, you can go have a few more if you want to continue the party. Of course, there may be an aftershow, which is a good reason to pace yourself.

My experience at Prince concerts is that the show is sobering. I may have a good buzz when he starts but midway through the show I am so high off the music that the other buzz is totally secondary.

Go and drink but as always, do not be obnoxious - sober or drunk.

And for those who do not drink, please do not assume that if one drinks they automatically throw up or will be obnoxious. Some of the biggest jerks I ever met have been stone cold sober.

Sober. It's harder to have an eargasm when you're drunk.

I wouldn't ever want to be drunk at a Prince concert. I've been pretty buzzed a couple of times, but never drunk. His concerts are always so god damn loud almost on the verge of being unpleasant that I wouldn't want to be dunk on top of that.

Live.
Definitely live.

When he's sober, he's just boring as shit.

When he starts demanding audience participatin, it makes things more interesting woot!

Last time I saw Prince live, I had two bottles of vodka and five lines of ketamine before I left the house and then had a bottle of tequila on the train as well as smoking three rocks of crack cocaine whilst eating eight small hash cakes. I then smoked some salvia dinorum on the way to the gig, whilst injecting myself with pure heroin at the same time. Next time, I won't restrain myself so much.

The last time I saw Prince was on the "Musicology Tour" back in 2004 and I was a little tipsy but I think that only made the show more enjoyable for me because I had no inhibitions at all. However, I wouldn't want to be completely drunk at a P concert because i'm afraid that later on i'd be unable to remember most of the concert sad.

I would eat the hash cakes before the ketamine. no way you will have the appetite to eat anything after the 3 rocks of crack!
