u ever heard or witnessed a peformance by prince that was not up to his stanards?
if prince wasn't inspired or had lot of mistakes or preched for too long .
my choice would be
1998 lonndon cafe de paris with chaka and larry its awful.only chakas part is better.

1999-rave 2000 dvd-worst ever concert,his guitar playing was off.he had 4 or 5 mistakes during purple rain solo can u belive it?
all other solos were not fluid and the best solo was by mike scott on gett off.
band was non funky with too much of larry's preaching

I had terrible seats for the Hit & Run tour in 2000 (or 2001?). I thought the show was pretty weak until I moved down closer to the front & center. Suddenly it was great

Funny how that works. I was front row for 5 Hit n Run gigs and they changed my life. I havent had that much fun in my life.

it was in 1993 or 1994. Come was the album that in theory was being supported. Prince played two nights at the Palladium in NYC. I convinced my girlfriend and a couple of friends to go. Prince didn't start till about midnight and gave the worse show I ever saw. Sound was horrible and Prince just plain old stunk.

Then the next night I went with a good friend who was a big Prince fan. Girlfriend and buddies from the previous night wanted no part of it. And of course Prince then proceeds to give a great show opening with a yet to be heard "GOLD" and rocked the place. Needless to say I havent seen or spoken to the girlfriend in over 10 years.
