I just listened to Lovesexy Live in Dortmund and it may have taken over from Purple Rain Live in Miami as my favorite live performance. Not only are the song arrangements outstanding but the energy from the European crowd gives the concert an entirely different feel from concerts in the United States.

Yeah,its my second fav tour behind Purple Rain.

thats my favorite rendition of PURPLE RAIN. . . . EVER!


the way you can hear the audience start the "hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!" chant...maaaaan.... takes me away somwhere everytime.

I have yet to hear/ see a performance better than that one.every thing fit.

I like his Lovesexy concert a little better than his Purple Rain concerts.

The video of it is also amazing and you feel the excitement! One of his best live show in my opinion.

Lovesexy Tour - My Fav.

Lovesexy; one of the best tours ever...period!

The Lovesexy tour was outstanding.... it was the first time I saw Prince in concert and is still my favourite "full" Prince concert I attended. A couple of aftershows rate higher but my opinion is probably biased because of their exclusiveness.

Prince was in RARE form during that time. He had a look in his eyes I have never seen before or since then. Even when he was performing Purple Rain, there was a strange energy that I had never felt. Watch him during that part. Hes not his normal "graceful" self. At times he seemed to be somewhat stumbling around while he was playing the guitar.
The tone in his voice when he says "Everybody sing it now".
Ive always said, if there was a time in his life when drugs were involved..it was during Lovesexy.
Great performance regardless of what his motivations were. Lovesexy tour will go down as one of, if not THE most legendary of all his tours.

Yea, I remember that opening statement on the Lovesexy album...to me, that was a red flag! Just the fact that he found it necessary to say that made me think..."yea, he's been experimenting"..Lol
The whole Black & Lovesexy story is like one big bad trip.

As a matter fact, the concert took place in Germany, but ticketsale was for Dutch/The Netherlands fans only .... and yes, we made a hell of a party that night

Holland .... Holland ... can be heard in between songs

And Annastesia confirms the experimentation AND from the horse's mouth (excuse the pun).

And, speaking of horse, just cos he said he's not doing smack, doesn't mean he wasn't doing anything else. Denial of one substance isn't denial of everything!

But.....back to topic. Lovesexy live will remain one of my favourite tours - it was outstanding!

i believe there is musically nothing i went more high on then the Lovesexy Live thing...i think it is the best Prince has ever done....

What do you mean?

Dance On and Positivity never get any respect!

They are hot!

"Detroit..whats happening"

I'm a confirmed aethiest but when he asked us "Do you believe?" I almost did.
It was a highly spiritual performance, whipping up the audience with a Gospel fervour.

Still probably the best concert I ever attended. MSG/NYC

absolutely awesome .... getting to the 2 part vhs, and OMG he was amazing - hold on to it folks...u aint gonna see that again!

genius....you see him now and so so tame!!!! who tamed that tiger?????

Not really. Lovesexy wasn't really all that, especially as a followup coming right after Sign Of The Times. It was a huge let down for me.

and: '1 time 2 remember'.

the video i probably watched the most.

Never been a fan of the crammed Lovesexy medleys.

90 odd seconds per song is not my idea of fun.
