I actually prefer Adore live - tends to be slower and more romantic!
You might not like the taste but I'm still gonna stick your face in this FUNK

Te Amo Corazon [Brit Awards in particular]

and "Fury," of course.

Otherwise, I've got very little to go on cuz I haven't seen any performances in person.

and I've only heard Purple Rain live a bunch of times at many differen occasions [HalfTime show will always be the greatest, as it was the first]... cuz the version on the album was taken from an performance at 1st Avenue
had 2 run away... pride was 2 strong. It started raining, baby, the birds were gone

Excusez-moi, but I think Purple Rain performed live in the last 10 years doesn't begin to match up against Prince's legendary performance in the movie itself or at 1st av! I personally can't stand the synthesizer/piano intro and the way he repetitively changes the key on " I never meant 2 cause u any sorrow "
It may be a staple in all of Prince's performances but most of the time it's lacking the passion he used to have while playing it ,but who can blame it after 20+ years....

Controversy , DMSR , anotherloverholeinyohead are incredible live and so are the wonderful acoustic sets.

I'm with you on Purple Rain. Theres no drama or tension in the version he's been playing for the last 10-15 years. It's a little too Vegas for my liking.
