Songs You Wish He Would've Performed Live

I always thought Sex would have been fairly easy to play on stage and would've probably been a crowd pleaser.

I think he should have done Crazy you as a solo performance.

Luv that song.

What a song! Sounds so fresh. If Ed Sheeran or someone made it today, it would b a sexy little hit.

Boy, did he ever. I've seen the video. This is a HIGHLY complex song and he basically did it with his eyes closed. So impressive!

I always wished for an acoustic version of WHEN DOVES CRY - I kind of love the barenaked ladies version of it.... i thought this song was massacred during Lovesexy/SOTT...and for whatever reason.. even though I think it is the best song ever written.. it never translated for me live.

He played it at the pre-show soundcheck in Houston, TX in 2002. I was there. He asked for audience members to come sing it. I didn't know the words, dang it! But another guy did and he was excellent. Prince played the song by himself, on the Hohner.

On tour, it was done here:

11/19/2002 - Nippon Budakon

The performance of that song shows up on YouTube now and then, but I couldn't find it when I looked yesterday.

WOW was done live. There’s a nice soundboard recording of it on the 2015 Louisville show. It was also done on the P&AM tour.

he never did a full version of Little Red Corvette ala like the one on the album, he always did short versions or jam like variations.
