Sadly Rarely Performed Prince Songs

The following is a list of Prince Songs from his regular released that I would love to hear him perform live. I have only seen Prince live twice and have a limited knowledge of his setlists, but I believe he has rarely, if ever performed the following gems:

It's Gonna Be Lonely
Crazy You
Private Joy
Something In the Water (Does not Compute)
Darling Nikki
Condition of the Heart
Temptation
Do U Lie
Adore
Ballad of Dorothy Parker
Positivity
Lemon Crush
Elephants and Flowers
Tick, Tick, Bang
Willing and Able
Live 4 Love
Sweet Baby
Dinner With Delores
Space
Letitgo
The Holy River
Let's Have a Baby
The Last December
Tangerine
My Computer
She Loves Me For Me

This setlist would entice me much more than the Australian setlist likely will. My setlist would severely hinder ticket sales likely to!

It's fair to say these are rarely performed. Having said that, it is welcome to note that of this list, Prince has performed about one third during the last 18 months - usually 'live' - sometimes soundcheck or aftershow


Something In the Water (Does not Compute)
Condition of the Heart (usually abbreviated)
Adore
Ballad of Dorothy Parker
Sweet Baby
The Last December
Tangerine
She Loves Me For Me

as well as the following from Moonbeam's additions:

Automatic
All the Critics Love U in New York
ALT+PLS+RTN: Pure as a pane of ice. It's a gift.

I think "Old friends 4 sale" would be a nice addition to the setlist.

Yes, of course, but I was making the point of a fair number having been aired in recent times - hence my reference to the last 18 months

By the way, 'Adore' was played in 2000 also, and 'Sweet Baby' was played last year during soundcheck.

Hey Phil, Prince actually did a short piece of Paisley Park during THE SOUNDCHECKS boot. The first disc has a piece from Detroit where my friend Dennis yelled out for Prince to play Paisley and he did.


Cool guitar

If you ain't seen prince perform "Day's of wild" then you havn't seen Prince.

During the Purple Rain tour he did cool rehearsals containing songs such as 'When We're Dancing Close And Slow' and 'Bedtime Story'.

I wish he had played those songs live during that tour.

He needs to bring in a Take Me With U/Raspberry Beret medley, woefully underperformed are those two.

how many times has prince performed dolphin live? i dare say, very few. something like once or twice on the 1995 european tour. he did it on letterman in dec. '94 too and it was boring! maybe he thi nks it doesn't work well live.
has anyone witnessed a killer version of dolphin live? eye no he did it at xenophobia last year and at paris bataclan aftershow, but he makes the audience sing the chorus and it's kind of anti-climactic that way, imo.
