Seriously, is Prince the greatest live performer ever? Obviously being a Prince site most people will say yes, but I would say he is most definately.
I've never seen an act that can touch him for musicianship, versatility and all round showmanship.He's incredible.I've felt this way for the last 15 years or so.I'd say you could put him one on one against any act in the world and he'd blow them away easily.I just wished he'd have done 'Live aid' or something similar and shown the world. It kind of bugs me when you see magazine polls like in Q magazine and you see Radiohead or U2 winning in categories like 'Best live act in the world today' It's bullshit that.Ain't it?

Of Course he is the Greatest Performer Ever. He should get more of the Recognition and Respect he Deserves. Nobody is like Prince. | |

[This message was edited Wed Oct 9 13:08:06 PDT 2002 by Thecherryloon] I don't think he's toured as extensively as U2 or Radiohead over the last...mmm, 5 years at least. He's much more underground compared to them. This post not for the wimp contingent. All whiny wusses avert your eyes. | |

I almsot agreed with you until you mentioned Janet...her last tour was so juvenile...man she rehashes the same shit over and over again.

Prince is the best kept secret since the remaining 3 albums from NPGMC.  | |

Well, name another performer with his vocal range who also plays lead guitar, bass guitar, organ, piano, and drums. In terms of his versatility, he's one of the greatest ever. His showmanship is one of a kind, too. Check out The Mountains and the Sea, a Prince podcast by yours truly and my wife. More info at https://www.facebook.com/TMATSPodcast/ |

Don't forget the James Brown dance moves! Unfortunately his major TV appearances often don't feature his best stuff or really show his talent. My favorite TV moments were the Grammy's and AMA's of 1985 and the MTV Awards when he played Sign O the Times. After those I haven't been too impressed. The whole MTV Gett Off thing with the see thru pants seemed cheesy to me and just shocked people like Marilyn Manson more than blowing them away musically. Every TV performance has either been a ballad or a medley. I did like the Arseneio show though I guess. ______________________________________________

I thought Prince was the greatest live performer ever - until a few months ago.
I have finally seen someone who can top him. | |

Say whatever you want, but the 2 KISS concerts I've been to were head and shoulders above anything else I've ever experienced. GWAR is pretty entertaining too. Prince is VERY good, particularly the 2 aftershows I've seen. | |

The very lovely Janet Jackson but she is not a great live performer. Way do dependant on a controlled structured environment.
The true test of a artist is what that artist can do outside of a controlled environment. Prince can entertain thousands of people with just a piano now that is cool. "Say it Loud - I'm Black and I'm Proud!!!" - Brother James Brown

ANYWAYS, Prince is creme de la creme when it come 2 performing. But he's not the greatest ever, he's on the list and he's very very very high at the top of it. I will ALWAYS hold it down 4 that man no matter what U Prince...only if U knew. &  | |

Yes, he's the best ever!
Prince is the best musician ever. Wasn't the Dave Matthews Band named the best live act on one of "those" shows recently?? LOL Thanks for the laughs, arguments and overall enjoyment for the last umpteen years. It's time for me to retire from Prince.org and engage in the real world...lol. Above all, I appreciated the talent Prince. You were one of a kind. | |

He is one of the best out there without a doubt. I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that | |
