Prince's favorites?

I can't think of another song that he has performed live more than "The Ride". What other song or songs do U think are his favorites that he performs?
If it breaks when it bends, U better not put it in!

Purple rain seems to get the best coverage live on just about every tour since it was released.

Controversy? Because it's still so funky after all those years.

I actually meant the less obvious songs. I should've made myself more clear, sorry.

Thanks for the history lesson.I'm surprised that songs such as,Darling Nikki,Computer Blue,I Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man are way down the list.Is it a case of playing the hits more because their more known?

Ha! I'm not sure actually. biggrin Half a question,half me trying to be part of a conversation I know little about. neutral
I suppose I'm asking does he get bored with playing songs like Purple Rain? I don't think he could ever get bored with playing the guitar on it,but singing it must get tiresome for him? eek

Do you know, that really pisses me off about artists and bands. When they go 'oh I'm so tired of playing X song that made me famous, it's so boring singing it again and again'

Boo hoo! So you have to sing one song for 4 minutes 20 times a year. It's hardly a fucking 9-5 job and it's earned you millions. Whenever I hear that, I just think those artists are spolit brats and are happy to disappoint their fans for the sake of their bored attitude to the things that made them famous.

Sorry, bit of a tangent there, haha.

I used to like Blur's approach to tours and concerts where they'd do a 'Hits' gig and then the day after do a 'Bsides' gig. How cool would themed gigs from Prince be? Hits for the general public then a bsides or album tracks after show gig for the fans.
blah blah blah

Yeah, and it would be kinda awesome if he'd do something like this as some kind of a 21 nights stand in London for example, wouldn't it?

Yes.

unfortunately we got cover versions instead. Which was great, and I enjoyed the shows I attended, but it wasn't what I spoke about above.
