Hey all,

I'm planning to show my fiance another P concert. He has seen the SOTT concert movie (and I think he enjoyed that) but nothing truly live yet. I was thinking about showing him either the Capitol Theatre one on YT or the 1988 Dortmund Lovesexy concert. He appreciates Prince (though not as much as me obviously) and seems to like more of his rock flavored music than his funk. What do you all think would be the best one that I show him next?

Captol Theatre show is a good one or the "For those who are on Valium" show that P did as a warm up for SOTT if its still around

Well...I think it all depends on whether you are just trying to share your love for Prince with the person you've chosen to love. OR you're just trying to make the person you've chosen to love share your love for Prince. There is a hell of a difference in that...make absolutely no mistake about it!

This would be my choice, as well. It's the show on which Purple Rain was based - can't really be beat for a "where it began" selection.

Then show him whatever you want to next and don't worry, be happy!

The Homecoming Show in Mn 1983 Prince, The Time & Vanity 6

This may not be in the right forum and I don't know if it's allowed; but where exactly would the OP get the videos you all are referencing? Are all of them up on You-Tube?

I really am interested in seeing the May 28, 2006 concert at The Empire Ballroom in Las Vegas. Any suggestions?

I'm still somewhat new here, so like I said, not sure if that question is permitted. Sorry if it's not.

First Avenue 83 or Montreux 2009. (Or maybe the Live Undertaker video).

I was at that show. If a recording exists, I am not aware of it.

Same here. I would love it if this show was released.

And you were amazing, playing that funky music, white boy.

Yep, for the casual fan, or as an intro, this is the one that they will be able to feel an emotional attachment to. Three is no way watching Purple Rain emergine in fromt of him/her thet they won't get goosebumps

Then there's DMSR to blow their minds!

Montreux is my fav right now. I like the experimental touch in the music.

Dutch? I've been having this tune in my head since yesterday....

yes!

How can I get ahold of the First Ave 1983 show though, or many of the others for that matter? I looked up most on youtube and didn't have much luck aside from Dortmund and Capitol.

Thank you all for your advice!
