..Yeah, that AMA performance tops my list--you can see Cyndi Lauper in the first row cheering him on when he kicks that stand--but I also dig the "demo" version that Wendy and Lisa are working on in "Purple Rain", and the way Prince plays it on piano in the film, too. | |

Boy, there's some real fans here. I agree with every version mentioned... AMAs '85, Lovesexy Dortmund (albeit abbreviated), Purple Rain Syracuse, all are definitive in their own way. The original performance from First Avenue (obviously) had a great raw quality, but I'm glad he edited the solo 'cause it meandered.
I wonder sometimes if he wished he played something other than that two-note motif through most of the solo, because he's had to quote it every night for twenty years... | |

Temptation said: The version from Rotterdam on the Diamonds & Pearls Tour (May 28, 1992) is awesome. He starts it with an extended intro that I really love. The song goes on for almost nine minutes.
yes, yes, yes gives me chills that version | |

bananacologne said: The 1985 American Music Awards definately.
a kick-ass, from the heart, performance letting rip with a SEARING guitar solo on the white cloud that ive yet 2 hear him better live. Then, just 4 added good-measure he goes all rock n roll and kicks the fuck outta the mic stand cuz it's in his way. 
Just an AWESOME performance at the height of Purple Rain 'fever'. I cant fault it.
