Good question because I'm not sure. Lol Going back to Parade tour 1986 MSG NYC Lovesexy tour 1988 MSG Jam of the Year 1997 (three separate shows in los Angeles) One Nite Alone 2002 Phoenix AZ Musicology 2004 Phoenix Live Out Loud 2013 Phoenix There was one or two I'm forgetting. He toured when the the rainbow children came out- i don't recall the name of that tour. It was 2001? One thing I'm grateful for: I always somehow got good seats. Was always in the first 10 rows by chance. In Phoenix 2013 I was front row up against the stage, and I hoisted my sister up do she could dance with the others as he played DJ for part of the show. He actually spoke to her. Lol she will never forget it. And I'M the huge lifelong fan. Haha | |

Damn, we got some concert vets up in here (trying hard not to be jealous). I own every concert program up to date, does that count? lol
LOVE reading everyone's lists. Would be interesting to know what concert was the ''stand out'' one in everyone's mind.
2002.06.15 Toronto One Night Alone Concert
2004.06.21 Auburn Hills, Michigan Musicology
2004.06.27 Toronto Musicology

2011.11.25 Toronto Welcome To America

Every single date was followed by an after party. That was the real treat for me, to see see Prince in a more relaxed light.
I will forever regret not seeing him with 3RDEYEGIRL, & more importantly @ Paisley Park... but I am very grateful for what I have experienced. [Edited 5/3/16 12:36pm] "All the world is faith, trust and pixie dust...''
Love gets in my eyes, yet I can see clearer than I've ever seen | |

16 shows over 30 years beginning with 2 shows on The Purple Rain Tour at Nassau Collesium, Hit And Run in 1986 at Madison Squre Garden, Lovesexy Tour also at MSG, an aftershow at Roseland, a Diamonds And Pearl show at Radio City, 2 Emmancipation Shows (weakest of all of the tours that I saw), 3 Musicology Tour shows, 4 Welcome2America Tour shows and the last time at Mohegan Sun back in 2014. I also saw him join Sheila E at The Ritz back in '85 and Stevie Wonder in NYC at MSG a few years back playing guitar on Superstition. Not nearly enough but I consider myself lucky to have seen all of the shows that I did! RIP PRN. | |
