Dallas, Texas, Reunion Arena, , second show though. He did a show that I missed 'cuz I didn't know about. Luckily, he came back a second time to dismiss the reviews papers the gave him that the first show just didn't have it (or something like that).

DAYUM!

Boston. It was the only Prince concert I've ever been to. I think it was the second leg of the tour, which I've heard was more stripped-down and suckier than the first.

I had fun, though. I remember him doing a bit about "What's the matter, y'all got a new man on me?" He jumped up on the piano, stuck his ass out and said, "Does yo man have an ass like mine???"

Ahh, I couldn't help myself.

detroit jan '97 (love 4 one another charities tour, as it was called). this one one of the few times that he played "somebody's somebody"
cleveland may '97
detroit sept '97
columbus may '98

i think that's about it. prince was on the road non-stop for a while back then

OK, was the '98 European Tour still the Jam of the Year or had we crossed into New Power Soul Tour territory?

Wembley Arena and Brixton Academy.

I saw both shows at the Target Center in MPLS.

Well, I went to both shows. We got a titch to excited the 1st nite and darkn WAY TOO MUCH. I barely remembered any of it...Thank God we went again the next nite...

St. Louis...Kiel/Savvis Center...my first show...I almost pooped my pants...

Vancouver B.C. I was in 2nd row center baby...what a show!!

Fiddler's Green, Englewood, Colorado.

The worst venue for concerts, I think.

I was there too! 2nd row, off to the right if you are looking at the worst stage for concerts in Colorado. The great seats made up for it though! I don't know how many times I've lamented that lousy venue.

I also went to see him at the United Center in Chicago, which was also alot of fun.

Buffalo, NY 9/13/97...first time I had seen Prince since Dec. 84 on the PR tour..also in Buffalo. INCREDIBLE show and also, coincidentally the FIRST show that featured Larry and GCS opening for him. That night, it was just a nuisance cause I was so jacked up to see Prince but if I had known THEN what I know now, I would have been even less thrilled to see Larry!

Matt

saw it in san antonio

Summer '97, Atlanta - Astounded me how bad the show was.
Jan?/Feb?, Atlanta - Slightly better, if only for the full version of "Let's Work", but still disappointing compared to earlier shows I had seen to that point.

ec

I missed the show in Vancouver, where I live, but I got to see the next day's show at the Gorge in Washington state - my first Prince show - what an experience!!!

Vancouver BC, Canada, '97...And it was brilliant. A show I will never forget!!!

Wednesday, September 24, 1997 in Calgary at the Saddledome.



What.




I'm reading off my ticket stub!

Cincinatti, Ohio - Play That M-f-N Bass~

I also have a video boot of the Oakland, CA show.
The Piano Melody was So Fabulous, Better than ONA Live~

Target Center, front row!

I saw the show in Portland Oregon. It was great. Except for the fact that I was on crutches. I had a total knee recuntruction 2 days b4. But that wasn't gonna stop me.
It was my first time seeing him. So I was choked up thru most of the concert. But I had a great time!!!
