WOOOHOOO!!!
It was the night of the Detroit Lovesexy show. The second time I seen Prince in concert. (first time was Purple Rain), and it was awesome.

Didn't know anything about the show and it blew me away. The first half was all the stuff we expected from him-funky and nasty. And the second half was very spiritual from the Lovesexy album.

AND IT ROCKED.
Finally got to hear this show on cd.

Thanks Prince!!!

OOOohhhHhh

this was me first Prince Concert


Sansker you got this on cd? you holdin out
see ya saturday

Hey Mauve, yeah but it is incomplete. Still nice to hear most of it.

I'll be there sat. Looking for fun!!!

It was 15 years ago today
Prince came to Detroit to play
Just after that he went out of style
He'd be with Larry in a little while

I saw the 'Lovesexy' show in Oakland,California on November 11,1988,just a few weeks after your Detroit show

I'll never forget that concert,and how ecstatic I was in the weeks leading up to it.I was a total nutcase

Two days previous, on Oct. 28, 1988, I saw Prince for the first-time ever in Pittsburgh on the Lovesexy Tour. I was in college at Edinboro U near Erie, PA, and I had met some new friends in the communications department who digged Prince.

The girl had four tickets to see Prince at "The Igloo" and we sat in the upper deck behind the stage. If I recall, I was sitting a good 10-12 row back and I was on the Dr. Fink side of the stage.

Was able to take a few snaps of the concert but with my chincy camera (not the digital we have nowadays) the stage is small and the action is sometimes blurry. I do have three images that turned out very well -- the entire band splashed in white at the far end of the stage, Prince draped in purple and fog during Purple Rain and alphabet letters floating around during the encore of Alphabet. St.

There were these two football players that had a game at California, northeast of Pittsburgh, but they were with the team and the concert was on a Saturday night and they were not able to go.

Remember Prince played Eye Wish U Heaven and Take This Beat together. At the time I was in my first year at the college and the main deejay at the school radio station that I volunteered at (WFSE 88.9FM) had a promo copy of Eye Wish U Heaven/Scarlet Pussy 12-inch and he dubbed it for me on cassette. It was a great ride down I-79 and then back up again. Asked the guy who "Camille" was and he was unsure becauase, at the time, I did not know and that the flip side of thr 45 and 12-inch was back with simple peach lettering.

Even better was the knowledge of scoring The Black Album vynil boot and cheering when Prince and the band worked in Superfunkicalifragisexi as well as Bob George. It was like I was the only onw who knew the lyrics.

Remember before we left all of us could have gone to a club for an afterparty but we did not. If we did, we would have seeen Prince and Shelia and Cat.

Never forget it. ...

See you all Saturday, I'll tell you guys more about it, including playing Le Grind, Cindy C and 2 Nigs at various times during my "soul flight" music block in the evenings at the school. I threw on Prince all the time, including world premiering I Can't Stop This Feeling Eye Got and Joy In Repetition after reading about the Graffiti Bridge project in Spring 1990. I even played The Ladder and I Love U In Me and the 19-minute Scandalous Sex Suite complete at the end of my shift, around 1:40 am during the quiet storm segment of the show.

Ah, those were the days, thanks Sansker! ...

I saw LoveSexy some time in the summer of 88 in Chicago. I remember deciding at the last minute to go with a few friends who had tickets.
