Dreamer (Leno) vs Fury (SNL)

Which do you like better...Dreamer (Leno) or Fury (SNL)

This is a hard one for me because I really went nuts over Fury the first time I heard it. But I think Dreamer is a better song, is new and he killed it on Leno.

Dreamer all the way woot!

seriously, everything was perfect.
The sound was incredible (nice guitar choice by the way wink)
good song
awesome performance
and the outfit & the way the band was set-up worked so well.

Fury on the other...
the quality of the song was good and such
but everything else, I didnt dig the first time I saw it.
Orange is not his color and I wasn't a fan of the headband thing confused

I tend to go for visual first, sound second. That's my reasoning lol cool
had 2 run away... pride was 2 strong. It started raining, baby, the birds were gone

Dreamer was fantastic.

Fury was legendary for me. No contest. Every element of that performance was perfect and his lead-work was phenomenal.

I like Dreamer

I loved when he did Fury on SNL. It was a disappointment that the album version was not as furious as the SNL verson neutral

I like Fury on SNL better. Both are good but not great songs, but the reason I prefer Fury is that Dreamer starts out good and then loses pace in the second verse and forward.

I like 'Dreamer' better than 'Fury.'

The Leno performance, however, he seems to forget the lyrics toward the end, that bugs me a little, but I still prefer it to 'Fury.'

I'm voting for "Fury", purely because no one saw that sucker coming! At the time, all we'd heard from 3121 was "Te Amo" and I think "Black Sweat" had only just come out that week... so no one really knew what to expect from the SNL performance... at least no one saw a guitar-driven track coming. He totally smoked us with that!

The performance of "Dreamer" is probably equally as good, however it didn't have the same surprise factor as "Fury" IMO.

Fury was good, UNTIL he did Dreamer. I love Dreamer more because of Sonny, Michael and Morris all being there. Fury runs a very close 2nd though, and that SNL version trumps the album version big time.

Love Dreamer....but man this is easy....Fury wins hands down ...that's Prince our man, he killed it on SNL .....anyone who's not into Prince show them that clip and they will buy a 3121 Prince CD in the next week ....I've tested it out on a few non-prince fans .... lol

Fury was awesome, played it over and over. I saw the Dreamer clip once and didn't watch it again until I saw this thread.

Dreamer didn't have the surprise factor.....Fury came out of nowhere and caught us all off guard. That's why it's kind of hard to compare. The sound and mix on Dreamer is better than the SNL performance and I think it's a better song. I'm going with Dreamer on this one...but it's close.

Fury on SNL by far. It was a completely electrifying performance. everything was perfect.

i find Dreamer (this performance and the album track) quite dull shrug
cream.

i agree. everything about that performance was perfection.

all i could say to myself was "wow, i want to see that again"
and true love lives on lollipops and crisps

And the vote has to go to Fury from the simple fact that nobody was comparing the guitar licks to any other legend and we weren't even comparing it to prince. It was just magical, heartfelt, organic guitar playing at its best.

Fury was one of his best performances ever. Guitar was very forward versus a tad muted with Dreamer on Leno.

I also think visually, Prince just nailed it on SNL, he looked extremely cool (seemed pretty frail and small on Leno) and the ending was awesome.

Dreamer didn't have the surprise factor, huh? lol

I was mighty surprised because the performance came on a little after the Target commerical showed.
I didn't expect him to perform the same song lol
And it kicked major ass boxing

That's just me, though falloff
just in the same way that the whole package comes to mind with each performance. The visual and the overall sound cool At least with Prince, that's how I approach things razz

Both great performances. I'm gonna say Dreamer cause I like the part where he hands his guitar to the TMZ dude and he holds it up like the olynpic torch thinking Prince was gonna give him the guitar.
nice guy.
