Was planning on seeing him this year. Have been told he planned to play two shows on the same day in Lisbon this summer.

First time I have totted them up for years and it strangely makes exactly 250, but there might be an error a few figures either side.


As you can see, It started strong, but tapered off as I got older. You can tell I started earning, but had no responsibilities between 87 and 92! I used to backpack Europe for the early tours. Strangely though, never saw a show in Italy or Spain (use to have to get back to raise funds or wash clothes). Also regret that I never got to a Jam of The Year show, Celebration II or any Piano and a Microphone. I thought I would catch one this year.

Once...Musicology tour...I will never forget that night

3/4

O2 London

Montreux 2009 (x2)

Malahide, Dublin 2011

Wish I'd seem him more, but I like that I got one stadium style, one small club style, and one out doors.

I also went to an after party in the IndigO2 with his guitar on stage and Dr.John expecting Prince to join him but he never did. Looking at them now, each concert came exactly at a turning point in my life in one way or another.

I don't know what that means. 3 coincidences... I don't know.

I was second row in Radio City Music Hall. My God, I could almost smell him. A huge bodyguard who was standing by the stage had to accompany me to my seat cause I started dancing way too close.

That's a lot! I'm surprised you didn't get to see him at Rio Las Vegas during his residency there for 3121.

I would have loved to have gone, and looked into it, but I had fairly new twin boys at the time so it wouldn't have been fair on Mrs Squirrel!

So many great times, there will never be another. He ruined me for wanting to see anyone else live.

plus I missed Skanderborg "Smukfest" 2013.....

0

Fortunate enough to see 3:

1st (and first concert ever...) W2A Tour: Dec. 17, 2011 IZOD center East Rutherford, NJ

2nd: W2A Raleigh, NC RBC center March 23, 2011

3rd: Welcome 2 Chicago: Sept. 25, 2012

W2C was my favorite!

20 concerts, 3 aftershows, 4 soundchecks, 1 afterparty (where I got to shake his hand and thank him)

Loads. I can't put a number on it exactly because of 1990 in the UK, he did so many shows that year here and i don't remember how many i went to in just that year alone.

I saw at least one show in the UK on every tour since Parade. I missed Hop Farm only and spent that night being pissed off!

It's such a blur. All i know are my concert going days are over now. I now want my last gig to have been a Prince gig. Sure, I've seen others but 'Nothing compares'... Not now anyway.

Twice, both in 2014 (I originally typed 2015, did not realise how long ago it was!).

I saw the back to back shows at Koko during the first leg of HITNRUN tour in London. I had travelled from Cheltenham to London at 5 30 in the morning, and queued up all day. I was number 111 in queue and a photograph I took of my hand appears prominitley on the tour book and Plectrumelectrum's album booklet - which for me was a brilliant momento of my first Prince experience. After the shows, with nowhere to go until 8AM the next day, a fellow fan I had met during the show let me crash at his and we stayed up listening to ONA live. It was a great experience and the shows remain the best I have seen by anybody.

I then saw Prince on the second leg of the HITNRUN tour when he performed at the Leeds First Direct Arena, which again was amazing show.

I was looking forward to the Piano and Microphone tour eventually making it's way to the UK - I never thought the Leeds show would be the last I would see him. In light of his death, it makes the memories of the few times I saw him live all the more precious.

I think about 35...half of those were on USA Lovesexy Tour. That my first road trip too and so glad that I did it way back in the day.

Only once.

Melbourne, Australia on the Welcom2 Tour.

The amount of times you have seen Prince in concert doesn't define your fandom. How did you feel the last (maybe only) time you saw him?

If you had a gut wrenching, almost worry with anticipation excitement, then you are in the Prince Zone! No greater feeling and enjoyment.
