If you could go back in time and revisit a certain Prince era-concert or event, what would it be??

Mine: I'd go back to 1994/95 The Gold Experience and all related concerts and music. This was such a prolific time. Lots of new music, a weird Prince who only wanted to play new music, Mayte, Come, Gold, Exodus, for a Prince fan this was the zenith!!! I love this period!!

1978 - the beginning. Live through it all.

First Avenue. Aug 3rd, 1983. no doubt about it.

1981 London Lyceum. Prince brought his Dirty Mind to the UK but I was only 10 and probably listening The Kids from Fame. Hi Fidelity hi hi hi!!!

The above 2 would be high on the list.

81 Lyceum in the UK, I could chat to Bill Oddie

and the 83 First Avenue show.

maybe ...88 Tojan Horse Club just to hear that Just My Imagination solo live and see his facial expressions.

As a fly on Sunset Sound's wall the thirtieth day of December, 1983.

I have a friend who talked about seeing him in small clubs when he was starting out...

'78 for me, too. Especially that little gig he had to sling together for the WB executives.

I agree with you. The Gold era was his most exciting imo.

Since I was only little during his HEYDAY, 1978 too.

Either 1980 or 1984 I wasnt born yet during the Dirty Mind oh poo and well the PR era I was just a kid, & was 2 silly 2 care.

But when I watch footage from these era's I wish I was there, in those crowds

I'd go back to the Dirty Mind Tour.

If someone ever builds a time machine, I'll see you there

Lovesexy world tour

Yeah... Dirty Mind was some raw-ass shit... I'd love to have seen that live.

I was only 11 years old then.....

1999 era.

No one else for Lovesexy?

Eh, I didn't really care for the Lovesexy tour Too much dancing and stage props; not enough guitar playing for me..

I would but only for Cat and Sheila.

As for Prince. I'd like to travel in time to kick it with him duirng his Dirty Mind tour days.

I'd start from the start.. but spend a little more time during batman/Gb era

it's purely physical.

Flippers , Santa Monica Civic, ...............3121, L.A. Fourum, and every time in between

take me back to 1983 I wanna see the '1999' tour with Prince,The Time and Vanity 6.

Now that I think about it, I'd like to go back and go to a couple of the 3121 shows in Vegas. I wasn't able to go during that time...

Yeah that one too, that's when I became a fan, I was so intrigued by this guy when I saw him on TV...

1985. After the Purple Rain Tour ended, and before he start shooting Under The Cherry Moon. He was cool during that time.

Are they on the org, chocolate1? I've talked with some really great orgers who make me feel like I can turn back time. If I could go back, I'd take anything pre-Purple Rain. After listening to, and seeing some awesome boots, I think the voices of Prince, Andre, Dez, and Gayle/Lisa sound like ear candy to me. LOVE the harmony in Still Waiting, and NOBODY sounds like Dez in 1999. I love the way he arranged the vocals in that song. Ok, all done fawning.

Really would love to go all the tours in the 80's but it would be super cool to visit the Dirty Mind era.....nasty Prince

gold experience

It would have to be the 1983/1984 Purple Rain era,

2 feel that electricity and excitement again is priceless

the Dance Theater Benefit Show at 1st Ave 1983 (Purple Rain premere)

and the 1st Avenue Birthday show 1984 w Sheila E in the audience

That time period cannot be touched.

But if I could extend it, let me experience the end of the 1999 era - the end of the Parade era

right before I find out the rRevolution is parted
