Have you ever had a moment were you looked at Prince old performances and say, "damn, he's the fucking greatest"?

I just watched:

1985 American Music Awards performance of "Purple Rain", greatest performance at an award show period. I dare you to say that theres better performances.

"Sweet Thing" performance with Chaka Khan in 99'. He fucking raped that guitar.

"Insataible" performance from 1992 Diamomds and Pearls Tour. Speechless....

"Baby I'm A Star" Grammy performance...need I say more

"When Dove's Cry" and "17 Days" wharehouse rehearsals. Damn near better than a performance.

I don't know...at this point, it want matter what artist name youu throw at me, Prince is better. He's a subperb performer, a beast in the studio, a cool ass person etc... Maybe I'm saying all of this because I haven't watched any Prince videos in a week because I've been to busy with Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix and Sly Stone. But Prince is the greatest ever, and that's my opinion.

...until the next time.

Yes he is the greatest ever. James Brown was much better than him 1978-1985 live, but neither his catalogue or stage shows have anywhere near as much variety.

Tyler, when are you gonna have some posting-holidays?

We DESPERATELY need YOUR holidays...

I've had those moments whilst listening to most of his '80s albums, and when I first heard Xtra Lovable.

Nope.

Yep. And don't listen to closed-minded comments. I got your back TylerHippie. We are brethren. (As an aside, I suggest you check out Weird Owl, cool band.)

-DAM Tylerhippe!

-I know you got a GF, but you got a twin brother somewhere?!!

-That IS my dream, to marry a man who loves Prince MORE than me!

All the clips of his recent tour get me saying that aloud, but i've thought that for awhile now anyway.

Wow! You're a great fan!

Those of us who were already listening to Prince and were aware of all the things you're 'discovering to us' even before you were born should be thrown to the bonfire!!

Far be it from any of you to disparage somebody's newfound enthusiasm for Prince and his music. This is a FAN site, let the guy be a fan. Don't be so Comic-book-guyish.

I always thought, and I think Prince's great, but not the greatest ever.

I'm not trying to disagree, but go look at the 1985 American Music Awards performance. That's some historic shit. The crowd swaying side to side, the guitar solo and his facial expressions...
