Why do you think that?

He played it on the 2000/2001 tour.

The reason he didn't perform that song on his most recent tour is that he has to make choices what to play... he can't play everything!


Peace,

The last time Prince performed Darling Nikki live was on the Hit 'n Run tour of the U.S. Geneva would come out in her schoolgirl outfit and Prince would do a suggestive dance with her, crawling around and going underneath her skirt.

It was a real crowd-pleasing fun number in the show. I really think he should put it back in the setlist. If he has to leave something out, leave out Take Me With U and put Darling Nikki back in.

I also think it's time to retire Purple Rain from the setlist. He can do When Doves Cry instead.

Man I would love to hear the live version from the Hit n Run tour. Darling Nikki is one of my favorite songs. Do you think there would be a mp3 of it somewhere?

Missed the Hit n Run tour cry
In 1998 I saw him @MSG in NY,he
started to play Darlink Nikki
and then stopped! Teasing us.
"Oh you're naughty!" or something
like that.
The real shame of it
is that the crowd was ready to
tear the place up for
Darlinkg Nikki, but instead he
went in to something like
Nothing Compares 2 U hrmph
Oh well...

Wasn't there a comment made at NPGMC to let her rest...or something like that...like he wouldn't perform it anymore?
If U set your mind free, baby, maybe U'd understand...
