Which city do you think gets the best of prince?

Which country/city has received the best of Prince in terms of tours/shows? In my mind after seeing what New York has just had I feel that London came out better off in terms of the aftershows, which looking back now I can't get over how lucky I was to have seen him twice at aftershows so cheap(!), then there's gay Paris, which instantly makes me think of the All Day/All night affair with some unique tunes being played one time only or at least after 25 years, then there was the gig at the fine line cafe(?) where the locals were treated to one of the greatest impromptu Intimate gigs ever and lastly of course there is the rightly justified home ground of Minneapolis which has seen some of the greatest shows on earth at first avenue, is there anywhere you feel Prince favors or anywhere you feel he completely neglects?

Minneapolis, any Dutch town, London, Hamburg, Berlin, and of course Paris.

Years ago, I also would have put Chicago, NYC and Detroit on that list.

Very true Detroit! Almost like a 2nd home to him once upon a crime

Looks like between 21 nights and i suppose the 14 nude tour dates London has had its big chunk of the guy, but then I'd say Northern Europe in general has bftunate since '09 it's been non stop around here. Would like to see some UK dates soon other than london..preferably in *cough* Wales, seeing as he's played everywhere else other than here in the UK and we've pretty much had every1 else including Michael Jackson
