Its no fun if hes not jumping off a piano,humping the ground to Darling Nikki,or climbing on 25 ft. speakers and jumping. But i will still go.

WHATEVER!!!! His One Night Alone tour, when he was just sitting at the piano and playing to the crowd, it was so intimate and personal.....and I loved it!! The smaller venue helped with the effect, and that is one concert I would not have traded for the world. He is a truely brilliant performer, it doesn't matter to me if he is dancing all over the stage, or sitting on a chair playing acustic. I WILL NOT miss a chance of seeing him live again.

¿Have u seen mmm... let's say... The Art Of Musicology? He's sitting in a chair with his acoustic guitar. One of my all time favourite performances.

It's simply about the music. All that other stuff isn't important. That's never been what Prince has been about. I could care less if he does the "Detroit crawl", the splits, or any of that other stuff. He's still better than any other live act. The only reason I'd stop attending his concerts is if he starts to lip sync. And we know that aint gonna happen

I don't think anybody would jump off 25ft anything without at least breaking something.

King662: you had another thread saying you love Prince very much or something,

strange threads, kind of self-contradictory....

xpertluva said:

more like 15,though

So his singing, his lyrics, the music and those kick ass guitar solo's and the sheer awesome stage presence of a man who was born to entertain means nothing to u? Ure just after the flash and acrobatics?

Maybe u should just visit the circus little one

mmm, thanks.....that was great love it when its simple...just him and whatever instrument.....spellbinding

No fun? God you're so stupid. Prince is still phenomenal live and he doesn't need those gimmicks that you described in order to put on a great show. If you're only seeing an artist because they jump off speakers and hump the ground then you need a psychiatric evaluation, my friend.

did u not see were i said "i would still go,but i would rather see the old Prince"damn!

TheKing is getting a lot of flack for his comment. Prince's music is primary, I agree, but we can get just that from listening to his albums. I don't think Prince needs to be running, humping and jumping around like some monkey in heat, but his showmanship does count for something... especially if prices
approaching (and sometimes surpassing) $100/ticket would be anywhere near justified.

I've seen Prince a couple times now -- once in the '90s, once just a couple years ago -- and while his shows were enjoyable, I think it would have been more stunning to see him at his performing prime. There's no diss in that.

I would love if he did the humping to Darling Nikki and sang his old dirty songs but I would very much want to go to a Prince concert any time!

I see what you're saying here. Unfortunately, I was not born in the right year and I have never been to a Prince show. (I'm only turning 19 in September.) I think that all that raunchiness and craziness was so fun and sexy and made Prince Prince, and it's a shame that I am unable to see the shows like they used to be. I am reduced to watching them on a screen and it's kind of depressing. Actually it's really depressing. But seeing Prince period would be a dream come true, no matter what he's doing. If the man stood on a stage and stared at the crowd for an hour I would be elated. He's such a force, that any performance is a gift.
