If you could go back in time to witness one live performance, What would it be? Please don't pick loads. Just one or Two and give reasons if you feel like it. Purple rain at first avenue. This was a history making performance as for the most part it ended up on the album. To be there and hear all the familiar sounds, echo and guitar feedback would be a mindfuck. That, or the mj and James Brown performance so that I could bolt the street lamp to the stage. If the milk turns out to be sour, I aint the kinda pussy to drink it! | |

I'd go back to the indigo2 show on the am of 29th August and watch that show again. Why? Because it was f**king awesome. RIP | |

The detroit birthday show in '86 - why ? - perfect show in every way ! Plus he was soo fine then and the 24th aug 1990 - I had a front row seat , right in front of his mike stand !!! This time i'd try not 2 fall apart every time he looked at me & catch at least one of the plectrums he tried 2 throw me! "We just let people talk & say whatever they want 2 say. 9 times out of 10, trust me, what's out there now, I wouldn't give nary one of these folks the time of day. That's why I don't say anything back, because there's so much that's wrong" - P, Dec '15 | |

August 3, 1983. I don't think words or reasons are necessary. "I never want to stop singing this song!" Prince in Montreal, 12/2/11, just before performing Purple Rain | |

First Avenue March '82. Other than that, I would quite like to see the opening night at Hammersmith on the ONA tour again.

any sign o the times show, they must have been amazing. i'll eternally regret not getting into prince a year or 2 earlier than i did, missing the 86 wembley shows and the european dates in 87. at least i made it in time for lovesexy! wouldn't mind going back to the wembley 98 show, just to see if it was as crap as i remember. don't play me...i'm over 30 and i DO smoke weed.... | |

Knowing what I know now, probably some of those Dirty Mind shows, controversy shows. The 83 birthday show. The Sign O The Times show at Paisley where he did ole Lang Sine.
All the shows he did at Glam Slam and Paisley when he was a slave and could only get like five people to see him. lol All you others say Hell Yea!! | |

First Ave SOTT preview March 21, 1987. A-MAZ-ING.
He was in this place between being an established, confident artist and embarking on an entirely new journey with a new band and new musical direction. That performance was perfection. Classic Prince energy, but humble. | |

Yup. It's basically THE performance of his life. Magical Yes, at 19, I finally saw the Revolution, a legendary band. And I talked to Wendy!!! In addition to seeing Prince, I have now lived life. Thank you Purple People!! | |
