Near the end of the Lovesexy show (Dortmund) he is sweating like a fat mans bollocks.

You can see it on his back.......sweat, don't mean to say he is unfit though.

He gets downright sopping wet in a lot of the Purple Rain shows.

That's because the brother puts in the WORK. You know when performers really DID sweat bullets to entertain an audience. wink

I have always been amazed at how fit he is. Not only does he do everything already mentioned, he does them under incredibly hot stage lights. Yes, there are fans blowing air (Lord help me I'm picturing fans in the audiences blowing air but I digress), even with cool air blowing it is still boiling on stage.

THEN, especially the past several years he's been onstage in suits.

Amazing.
I'm firmly planted in denial

I love it when he says "Y'all gonna make me sweat my suit out."

Yes Lawd!

Yes, Prince is much better as an 'alive' performer than as a 'dead' performer.

Living persons always performed much better than corpses.

P is well fit in every meaning of the word but espeically fit in the usual sense, I used to hate that it just makes him seem even more unreal

Yeah, and then he actually doesn't. Maybe that's his problem these days. Maybe he doesn't want to sweat anymore cuz then he wouldn't look all "cool and slicked back" and mess up his clothes! And that's why he just struts around the stage and does little half-hearted spins and whatnot.

when he's wearing the leiderhosen check out the muscle definition of his legs (i'm sure you already have many times!!)

Haters are awesome. I love them and therefore you, but N.E.W.S. is about 1,500x more boring than 20TEN.

I saw my man in NYC's MSG and in South Carolina and he was soaking wet after doing them shows. I've never NOT see P sweat at a concert and he's all over the stage. Perhaps the shows you've seen he was going at it 1/2 way but, not the one's I've seen ...

Peace ... & Stay Funky ...
