He dropped his mic on 2nd nite in Manchester October 2002,
during The Beautiful Ones.
So he got down on the ground and started grinding and singing-VERY good recovery!!




Grinding? On stage? In 2002? R U sure about this? Isn't that a no no in modern Princedom? omg

one of the best threads ever!. I'll never forget back in '88
Birmingham, UK, Lovesexy tour. It was only the second time i'd seen Prince and as sad as it is to admit i took my binoculars!!. Anyway midway through either Sheila, Bonny or Eric fucked up big style during a song. Prince stopped the show dead , turned around to his band and screamed 'i thought y'alls suppossed tobe professionals' and cued up again. I'll never forget the look of fear on those three faces or the reaction of the whole stadium, we were like 'did he really just do that?'


Is there a boot out there for that one? I'd love to hear that!

rosie o'donnell show...1996, promoting emancipation.
prince performed somebody's somebody & holy river. he made mistakes during both performances.
on somebody's somebody, his guitar solo started off-key."


Actually I don't think it started off key but he did forget to turn on his reverb pedal which he quickly did and it turned out fine.

Paisley Park February 14th 1994 concert: I don't remember during which song this happens, anyway Prince calls out for a "guitar solo on the 1", the band stops but no guitar solo is performed.
that wasn't someone in the band... that was some guy who told prince he could play guitar, so prince brought him on stage...

prince nicknamed him "bud light", much to tommy & sonny's enjoyment... lol

Parade Tour Paris, 08/25/86

I haven't watched this video in a long time, but at one point a fan runs on stage and grabs Prince. Of course security runs over and escorts him backstage. I think Prince goes back there and checks if he's O.K. .What a nice guy!!


Yeah right! You know security held the guy while Prince kicked his ass. wink

I watched this again the other night and it happened during "Life Can be So Nice". Tha fan basically almost tackles Prince! Security pounces on him immdeiately and escorts him backstage and it looks like he got a swift kick in the process.

Call it the hat issue... Prince felt he wanted to play Days Of Wild with his white hat but it was nowhere to be found and when he found it it fell and he kicked it so it landed on one lucky fan's hands!!!

during an arsenio show Prince goes to open the piano to release balloons and he didn't quite get it to open all the way...so he goes to grab it again but fucks it off realizing that he'd most likely smash his fingers on the 2nd attempt...

Hit and Run tour in Cleveland, 2000 (?). At the end of the show, the whole right channel blew out. Oops!

Needless to say, we didn't get much of an encore...
I've gone to find myself. If I should return before I get back, keep me here.

Rome July 17th 1990 (yes! I was there!): now, I don't really remember when this happened (it's been more than 10 years ago and I was a really overexcited kid) but I'm quite sure that at once part of the amplification went off, Prince got out of the stage and in a very few minutes he was back as the amplification was working again.

"It Ain't Over" Live CD, Joy In Repetition"
I really believe this was a mistake, but it worked out great. Instead of singing "Up on the mike repeating two words over and over again", he starts singing "Two Words, falling between the drops"... You're about to hear Larry Graham play JIR...etc, then kicks into the first solo.
It sounded to me like he realized the lyric mistake then turned it around, which was cool since we got two amazing guitar solos out of it.

"live music plays a song from a...uh,say it!..."
this is the mistake on the bootleg.
covered up on ONALive! by:

"live music,from the band they sing it..."

thats the only real mistake on that track.


Not to be a pill, but I don't think that was a mistake.

it wasn't the first time he forgot the lyrics to a song during the tour... which is fine with me... i'd rather him not do it note by note, night after night... mix it up.

How about the 2nd Arsenio Performance when the prince album came out. He trys to burn a bunch of newspapers with articles that were baggin' on him at the end of the "My Name Is Prince" opening song, and can't get the fire started.. They must have played the "MNIP" loop about 7 times while he's trying to light it.

I can't believe no one has mentioned the Atlantic City Hit and Run Tour show...small, intimate $250 per ticket show where the fog machine made the stage floor slick, there was a step in a place that it usually was not, and Chaka fell flat on her face in the opening act. Prince then came out and missed the same step, spraining his ankle. He finished the show hobbling around, using the cane he was sporting at the time but for real. Forced him to cancel the next 2 or 3 shows~!
