I did not make notes of every show I went to, but probably around 10, all in Netherlands or Belgium.

First ones being:

Sign O the Times 1987 (2x, Utrecht and Rotterdam)

Lovesexy 1988 (1x)

(These 3 concerts were probably the best 3 I ever saw)

The last two being:

One night alone (Antwerp and Rotterdam)

These were also great, especially the soundchecks!

I have seen Prince 19 times:

Sign "O" The Times, Göteborg, Sweden 1987
Lovesexy, Idrætsparken, Copenhagen 1988
Nude Tour, Gentofte stadium, Copenhagen 1990
Diamonds & Pearls, Hamburg Germany 1992
Act II, Stockholm Sweden 1993
Act II, Göteborg Sweden 1993
Aftershow, Park Lane, Göteborg, Sweden 1993
Ultimate/ Gold Experience Live, Den Bosch Holland 1995
Newpower Soul Tour Copenhagen 1998
Aftershow, club Vega, Copenhagen 1998
Newpower Soul Tour, Köln/ Cologne Germany 1998
One Nite Alone Tour Ålborg 2002
One Nite Alone Tour Copenhagen 2002
Aftershow, club Vega, Copenhagen Denmark 2002
2 x Planet Earth Tour, London 10 + 11 Aug. 2007
Aftershow, Indigo, London 10 Aug. 2007
2 x 20Ten, Copenhagen and Herning Denmark 2010

I missed the Parade tour in Denmark, Valbyhallen 1986

and I have missed his Roskilde 2010 and NPG Festival Copenhagen 2011 concerts.

I doubt I will ever attend a Prince concert again, ever...

(Personal reasons, I get stress in a big concert situation..)

regret not going to more shows in 92, 03 - oh well he'll be back

I won tickets to see Prince musicology tour 8/3/2004 atlanta,ga and saw him again in March 2006 at the first show in atlanta,ga at the tabanacle when he was showcasing tamar davis when 3121 was out. He hasnt come back to atlanta,ga since then.

It is not what one thinks.

It is.

What is the use of knowing that someone else did x or y shows?

What's the use of posting saying you don't see the use of knowing how many shows someone has seen? I don't see the use in posting it, people will still say how many shows they've seen regardless of what you post, so what's the use?

If you don't see a use in avoiding useless posts, then what?

The OP mentions 'I'm genuinely interested in how many of us in the community have been to the same shows'.

Considering mr P plays mostly bigger sized venues the odds of someone posting that they were at the same show as someone else are quite big assuming we all live in the USA and we all see more than one show per tour.

If we assume we have no lives because we have no family to take care of we have an even more useless question as we see many more shows in perhaps more countries.

Basically it is the same as asking if someone ever was abroad.

There are LOTS of threads I find useless. I don't read them, much less post in them...

I think the best Xperience eye had was when eye won tickets also 4 "Jam of The Year" tour. U would have thought eye won a million dollars...

1986 - Parade Tour x 3 Wembley Arena London

1987 - SOTT x 1 Wembley Stadium London (cancelled due to weather - gutted)

1988 - Lovesexy x 4 Wembley Arena London

1990 - Nude x 5 Wembley Arena London

1992 - D&P x 2 Earls Court London

1993 - Act II x 1 Wembley Arena London

1998 - New Power Soul x 1 Wembley Arena London

2002 - One Nite Alone x 3 Hammersmith Apollo (inc warm up and 1 x aftershow at Marquee)

2007 - Earth Tour 21 Nights in London x 7 O2 London (inc 3 x aftershows at Indigo)

A magic 7 times, starting with Lovesexy at MSG in '88-89 and ending with IZOD CTR 12/15/10, 12/17/10 and MSG 2/7/11. I hope he comes back to NY/ NJ soon.

I understand what U mean, thedance, when I was younger I didn't mind, but these days I don't like those big crowds any more either. And then there's another reason: tickets are getting more expensive every year! So maybe if I could get myself into another club show...that would be a different story. The atmosphere at the Melkweg was sooo relaxed... So it is still possible to see a stress-free concert if you're lucky.

thanks for your post,

and yeah I am 47,

I am not into big concerts like I was once......

maybe I would attend, if Prince would play indoor, with seats like Falconer in Copenhagen..

It's not that I that comfortable, but it is much less stressing (for me) to watch a concert sitting in a seat.

1990 Nude Tour - Cork

1992 Diamonds & Pearls - Dublin

1995 Gold Tour x 2 - Dublin

2002 ONA - Dublin

2007 21 Nights in London - London 3rd August

Oh, how ironic.

I have never made a list before, so I decided to make one as a Word file, so I can keep track...I like my list, but if I could have gone to 5 SOTT shows in 1987, I would trade all the others....I know that 45 shows sounds like a lot, but I've heard of those that have gone to like 300 or more...so my list is not really all that.

45 shows, 5 aftershows, and 1 short rehearsal at Paisley Park, and one guest appearance with The Time that probably shouldn't really count for much.

I got the dates wrong. I won tickets to the first show of the musicology tour 8/9/2004 in atlanta,ga and paid $25 bucks through the npgmc.com to go to the afterparty the following night. I used to have the bootleg cd for the following night 8/10/2004 in which I bought it from a place called fantasyland records in atlanta,ga. the second show wasnt as good as the first show from what I remember of hearing the cd and the only difference was that he did an acoustic version of something in the water (does not compute) and minor alterations with the setlist but pretty much the same setlist as the first show from what i remember hearing the double bootleg cd.

Funny, I thought the second show was much better than the first. I also thought the Time did better on night two.

the reason why I said that the first night was better than the second night was because he did call my name as an encore and then the beautiful ones. Call my name was a big hit on the radio and I was singing that song to a girl that night while Prince was performing it and she was looking me in the eyes and dancing along while I grabbed her hand and was singing to her.
