donnyenglish said: December 1981, Controversy Tour in Dayton, Ohio with Zapp and The Time. 9 years old. January 21, 2016 Paisley Park, Piano & Microphone. 44 years old. I technically saw him on January 23 at Paisley where he did a sampler set. He was a huge part of every single day of my life in between and that continues today. It is weird, but he might be an even bigger part of my daily life now. I am actually shocked that there are not more people on here that saw him before pre-Purple Rain. Are there any other veterans out there that can say they have seen him for a span of 35 years? | |

I'm from Manchester in the UK n id never heard of Prince pre when doves cry. However you must be right in the respect the 1999 tour and even further back were very popular | |

Thank you for being YOU - my little Princey, the best to EVER do it | |

[Edited 7/2/16 19:53pm] benni, I saw him on April 4, 2002 at Atl. Symphony Hall and the April 21, 2004 Musicology show in Columbia, SC, also. I kept my ticket for that one, and got chills when I noticed the date recently. I remember seeing the Musicology show 4 times --- once was my daughter's first concert, 2nd row in ATL (thank you, NPG Music Club)...and when I went to SC to see him again with a fellow Prince "fam",my friends thought I was insane:-). "...'IN A SENSE,' he said, 'you're alone here... so if you jump, you best jump far'..." | |

First Time: October 8, 1988, Hampton, Virginia, Lovesexy tour (25 years old) Last time: April 17, 2004, Cleveland, Ohio, Musicology Tour (40 years old)
I went to every one near me in between. I never made it to an aftershow, I tried several times but he didn't preform at the afterparty those nights. I did get to go to a soundcheck once and managed to get on stage once. |

1st time: june 1987 SOTT tour Utrecht (18) last time: october 2002 ONA tour Rotterdam/Antwerp (34) In between, I've seen him about 7 other times, in Holland. But these first and last shows remain special... I was not able to visit later tour due to worsening tinnitus, so: take care of your ears But I'm really thankful that I was able to experience those shows, they were highlights of my life! |
