EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — “Do you want me?” Prince sang shortly into his concert at the Izod Center, his first of two shows here before he performs on Saturday night at Madison Square Garden. He knew the answer would be an affirmative roar. And his opening song was a boast: “Laydown,” from his most recent album “20Ten” (NPG), announced, “From the heart of Minnesota/Here comes the purple Yoda” and matter-of-factly asserted, “Everybody wanna be me.”

Among rock guitar heroes, Prince is not only one of the masters; he is by far the best dancer.
