I know this has been asked a lot but there's a lot of new people and I'm curious. This question is two fold.

1. What was your first Prince show?

2. What was your VERY first concert period??


My first Prince show-1999 tour 1983
My very first concert- Rick James 1982 with Evelyn Champagne King

Purple Rain, Purple Rain...

First Prince show: Purple Rain tour, Met Center in Bloomington, Minnesota.

Don't remember my first concert...

Prince-Jam of the year
First concert-Green Day Insomniac tour

First Prince show: Hit'N Run 2001, Oakland CA.

First concert ever: Kool Moe Dee, Heavy D, and M.C. Hammer (before U Can't Touch This) 1987 or 1988, Oakland CA.-- atleast I think this was my first.

I saw Prince open for the Stones in San Francisco. The fans were not very nice to him as I remember
I think it was in between Dirty Mind and Controversy but I am not positve.

My first concert was either The Isley Brothers or WAR with Cheech and Chong
at the Circle Star Theater in San Carlos. A revolving stage, I guess it was cool at the time.

Love el_callejero

Emancipation tour ... I know that's sad, but I always 2 young 2 go 2 his shows .

i've never seen him in concert !! my first concert was dashboard confessional, mxpx, vendetta red, & brand new...and that was this september.

My first concert (besides classical and church music stuff) was in fact, Prince's Jam of the Year tour. It's still probably my favorite concert of all the concerts I've been to since then.

first show lovesexy 88 "i was totally dumbfounded" and couldnt believe what i'd just seen !!!

i got in2 p, when doves cry single came out, then pr lp.

i missed the parade tour it sold out ! b4 i even knew he was coming,then i had 2 cancel my trip 2 paris ! 4 the sott tour (my son was due that weekend and he arrived on time ) so by 88 i was f**kin ready 4 anything , lovesexy was very emotional 4 me very !!!

i'd missed out so many times (i even hads tickets 4 the sott tour london that was cancelled) talk bout unlucky !

so LOVESEXY was when i finally made it BOY WAS IT WORTH IT !

First show was Parade tour, somewhere in the mid-eighties. First ever concert was Kids from Fame live LOL went there with my mum...

First Prince concert was March 7th, 1985 on the Purple Rain Tour...

First Concert was RUSH on the Signals Tour... They played Tom Sawyer!

D&P tour was 1st and only time until next Tue and Wed - 2 sleeps to go!!!) How I would give most anything to have seen the Parade tour.

First concert ever - Pink Floyd I think, in 1988(?) My maths teacher took 3 of us final year students to see HIS favorite band. It took 4 hours to get there and 4 hours back, on a school night. I liked it, it was OK.

As far as Prince goes, I haven't yet seen him in concert...

My first ever concert was Beck last august.

Parade. Aug 12th 1986. Never forget it. I was so nervous, I nearly chucked.

I was lucky to be in the front row. The curtain came back on ATWIAD, and I thought, "Fuck he is short! But he smells nice!".
