Nude Tour

every song seemed to be transformed into this plasticy, kareoke style song, awfull.

Sorry to be snappy, but have you nothing better to do?????

I think the Diamonds & Pearls tour is even more embarrassing than the Nude Tour
I sold my tickets for the Rotterdam concerts after I saw the Dortmund show ...
One slick concert is more than enough

you should see some of the other threads, this is no different than "Which Prince Video is Your Favorite?" or "Huey's getting tired of brass in Prince's band"

WHAT!!!!!?????

The Diamonds And Pearls Tour was amazing!! the band were awsome and the songs had so much energy put back into them, eg Kiss, Lets Go Crazy and Purple Rain

It all boils down to a matter of OPINION, now doesn't it?

The worst tour ever was the ones I did not see !

"PRINCE" please cum 2 Philly !

ACT 2 was the worst tour...but worst ever gig for me was the 3rd Aug show at the O2 this year.

It was shocking and half arsed...turns out he was somewhere in Europe during the day shooting the new video for S.H.O.E...explains why he couldnt wait to get to get off stage and back to bed I suppose

RumAndRaisin said:

Tommy Baberella or something like that ... Rosie Gaines ... and those terrible songs ... this just isn't my thang ...it was so slick

The video for SHOE was shot in early SEPTEMBER, not august.

And the Joy in Repetition/Anotherlover/Peach sequence from that night (never repeated on the 21 Nights) was excellent.

Opinion? Everbody has one.

It's about taste.

I wish I saw even one live tour

Great reply

RumAndRaisin said:

Nope the vid for SHOE was shot in August as thats when pics were online of him on set(unless they went forward in time to take them )

Nude Tour yes. Bland hits revue before he needed to do so. Although I'd probably prefer it to the jazzy funk jam noodlings of modern times.

Sorry I stand corrected , could of sworn I saw stuff about it online in August maybe the last few days of August...

There's no such thing as a bad Prince tour.Greatest live per4mer ever!

I've always felt that he's the most amazing live performer. I guess I would vote for the Jam of the Year tour to answer your question--it was a tad dull and could have been more exciting, I think. But I don't think he's ever put on a bad tour. Bad shows here and there, sure--but not a whole tour.

I totally agree with you...there were a couple of not-so-great shows in his career, or several incidents where fans were treated in a very disrespectful way, or when the musicianship was a bit sloppy ( forgetting lyrics, playing wrong, technical problems etc.etc.) but still, even on his worst day, he´s still lightyears better than any other entertainer I´ve ever seen in my life, and I ´ve seen quite a lot of concerts from different genres.

That being said, people should also consider the background, the personal tragedies, the financial pressures etc. He went through all this and was still ( or especially because of those factors) doing his thing like only he could, and that, in my opinion , is a great inspiration for me , and probably for lots of other folks.

i would have 2 say it's the jam of the year tour and the O2 arena

the musicianship of the jam of the year/nps review whatever was so horrendous at times that it just made it that less enjoyable. even the aftershows that were done during that tour weren't all that good. now it could have been because the musicians weren't all that great (kiry j on the drums ) and the constant additions and subtractions of band members didn't flow that well.

the o2 arena tour was just a joke period..come on that sampler set? damn i never heard him that lazy b4 until then.

the o2 shows were amazing, listen to pass the peas from the 21st and youll see what i mean

RumAndRaisin said:

pass the peas is not a prince tune tho and i've listened 2 that whole show and it didn't impress me at all. a friend of mine also heard the same show and is a fan as well and all they kept doing with each song was either their eyes or laughed at the setlist

L4OATheOriginal said:

u obviously dont apreciate good music!

Oh god, that's so funny because I've got a boot of May 28 1992 in Rotterdam and it has my absolute favourite version of Purple Rain ever, I would've killed to have been there!

mynameisnotsusan said:

ive got that aswell, i love Thunder from that tour, im hooked on that song! lol

I really enjoyed the Nude tour.

Much more stripped down than the previous 2, and it was a welcome change. I also loved the fact that he gave the horns a break and started playing guitar more again (Lovesexy was great, but lacked Prince on lead a lot of the time). I'm guessing thats why he called it "Nude".

There was a little too much keyboard, but give me keys instead of horns on 1999 any day of the week!

I also LOVED the fact that this is one of the few tours where he played the majority of songs in full! Highlights were Nothing Compares 2 U, Baby I'm a star, The Question of U and Theives in the temple.

I think the opening full medley of "Nude", The Future/1999/Housequake/Sexy Dancer/Kiss without breaking the beat was the best opening section of any show to date.

I think the worst tour was the New Power Soul tour. Very poor by Prince's standards. Dougie, Larry and Chaka should have stayed at home. This was the point where Prince's music started to regress back to "old school". The instrumentation improved, but that doesn't make a good show on its own.
