the night when prince played best guitar solos

what concert by prince you have heard or witnessed
and you were blown away with his solos?

if somebody asked me this before 2002 i would say small club.

but since 2002 i heard a lot of great guitar playing concerts by prince so my pick is
los angeles one nite alone tour i think that date is 4th of april.
every solo was crazy and prince shreaded a lot.
he extended xenophobia song 3 or 4 minutes more then usual.

the highlight and revelation for me at the O2 concerts I went to was definitely Prince's guitar solos - didn't expect that at all - and i wasn't particularly into Prince or guitar before I went - but I am now.
"C'mon y'all - let me hear you sing, c'mon y'all, shake, c'mon y'all, jump" - Yes Prince -
"London do you feel for me what I feel for you"- yes Prince -
"Can I play my guitar now?" - yes please

I would have to agree with you on this one. I went to all the Musicology concerts here in chicago & every night he had me in awe with his guitar playing.. almost felt hypnotized watching/listening to him. Sometimes I would rather just watch & listen to him play the guitar & nothing else, he's so talented! Can't say I feel the same way about any other artist... cool

I completely agree - "Shh" on the 9th September was amazing at the O2 and was one of my highlights of the whole concert. Another of my favourite solos was when he did "Joy in Repetition" at the aftershow party,,, I knew that Prince was an amazing musician but to stand 6 feet away from him whilst doing his amazing solos was mindblowing! I think I actually spent the whole of the aftershow party in shock... eek

my memory isn't so good.

i remember being AWED at the Purple Rain concert electric guitar-wise in 1984.
the LoveSexy Tour & One Night Alone tours stand out as FAVs & kinda random question

i loved the acoustic segment in the Musicology Tour cause he de-mystified himself.
he came across as a regular kinda guy w/a sense of humor.
and i was surprised by his warmth & sort of everyday humble nature.

I saw the opening night of Musicology, at the theatre. The whole show was great...when I saw Musicology live...there were problems that night. I never saw Prince's face. His profile was all. The worst seat I ever had in my life, not to mention I was standing in a puddle of beer. pissed

well having never seen Hendrix, Santana etc. so glad Prince is around and I also would go just to listen to his guitar playing.
