7 - and considering how he felt about that number, I think it's about perfect. (though I will admit, in this situation, 7 is way too low and I wish I had seen every performance)

This is all in Memphis.

1 time at the old Mid-South Coliseum for the Lovesexy tour.

1 time in like 2001 or 2002 or something.

1 time in like 2004 or 2005 or something.

1 time at an aftershow for the 2004/2005 show. My dates for these last 3 are shaky.

A total of 4 times.

Some of you have seen him a bajillion times. You're really lucky.

That's why I hope we as fans can get some of these tours on CD or DVD or something.

Come on, Prince estate/Nelson family!

Nice spread

I think there are some other ppl here who have seen all tours,but they have disappeared.

I think anyone who had the chance to see him live is blessed

for me ummm 17 times D&P to W2Australia incl one aftershow at the O2.

I am grateful for that, especially the aftershow

For me, that was the place to see him

Quite a few people do to be honest, only been a fan since about 1992. Was lucky with the O2 residency in 2007, when I saw 12 main shows and also saw Prince at 7 after shows.

This is similar to my number - 21. I think that is just perfect and cause I also loved the 21 nights in London I want to get 21 tattooed at some point. One of the performances I arrived late and only heard about a song and a half but I still remember loving it so it counts

Somewhere beteeen100 and 150.

The cellys and 2 shows most nights at the 02 and the hut n run 2014 shows rack up the numbers a bit. Seen him rehearse at PP, a few sound checks, tv shows, tiny shows like Ronnie Scott's and huge outdoor ones like hop park. Last show I went to wasn't open to general sale and was a charity event.

How many of you do collect recordings of the live concerts you attended? And if you do, do you have all recordings?

I used to collect live tapes and had lots of 'em, but I stopped somewhere in the mid 90s. In recent years, I only bought a few bootleg CDs of the concerts I saw as a souvenir. But I have no need to collect tons of live recordings any more.

No different for me. I used to have tons of live material, but the problem with having such a large collection of live tapes is that there so much bad quality among them. Lots of those appear on eBay at ridiculous prices. That's a big "no no" for me.
About the live concerts I attended, the score is now 7 out of 10 (used to have them all. Especially Nude Heerenveen and Nude Dortmund were good, but it's those two that I don't have anymore).

Zero. For 80 to 95 I have reasons: I was about college the way P was about music. And I have three degrees to prove it. But after that, there's just no fucking excuse for me. I was finally going to do 2016, even though I'd have to travel to Boston. My budget was any amount of money. And you know what happened. I have to live with that regret forever.

In fact, allow me:

wall err duh duh duh



I'm at 0 also. Had planned to go to the Atlanta show but my daughter had a softball tournament . As much as I love Prince,my family comes first. Of course,after the fact, she wished I had gone to Atlanta.
