Does Prince make mistakes on stage?

I mean false notes, wrong chords, forgetting his lyrics, wrong timing, falling flat on his face during dancing etc...

I've never heard or seen him make ONE mistake live. Am I missing something? He seems overconfident on stage. Almost superman

At Musicology, he was singing Call My Name, and sang "everything...uh...nothing about you is false"

On Arsenio he opened the piano to let balloons out, and the lid snapped back down. He nearly lost a hand trying to keep it up, but let it go and it was almost not even noticeable.

I saw him try to light bad reviews onstage with lighter fluid in 1992 and it wouldn't light. So he used the lighter fluid to pretend to piss on them, which was even better!

Some of his fast guitar lines are a little muddy. I've seen him play a weird note/phrase and immediately recover with the right one in a way that sounded almost planned.

And yes he's fallen onstage several times that were noteworthy.

Yeah he does. On the Prince Live at the Aladdin Las Vegas DVD Ive got he fluffs a line on Strollin. Its cools cos he says something and the brass goes honk to point the fact out. He's not over confident, its an act, like a black Fonz!

not really a Prince mistake but the ending at the Montreux show of '' Take Me With U" is really weird...

He went up on the lyrics at the Brit Awards...and fluffed Joy in Repetition on the ONA set.

On the DVD of Prince in Tokyo, during the Question of U:

He mimics the mike being a lady, and he stands on hands and knees with his ass facing "the lady". He reaches behind him, from inbetween his legs, but at that point he is positioned too far away from the mike/lady.

It is cute though.
