A great album,with a great band. WHY did he not tour the US, he could of boosted album sales.

LONG LIVE THE 1995 NPG - "this is the dawning of a spiritual revoultion"!!!!

Yeah. Add that question to the mile high stack of questions that we would all like answers to.

its one of mine.....its a great album beginning to end...Prince's Purple Rain of the 90's

He could have also boosted the sale of "Exodus" with a tour.

Instead, he and the NPG played for me and my fellow Minnesotans out at Paisley Park a bunch of times.

On second thought, I'm glad he didn't tour.

Here's another one....Prince chose to release "TMBGITW" about, oh, 18 months before the album came out. So while Prince had a big hit single, any hope of that hit translating to album sales was lost. The he chooses "I hate U" as a single, a ridiculous choice that flopped.
According to "Possessed", Prince did some overseas dates, but they largely flopped due to the fact that he was playing TGE material almost exclusively, which hurt ticket sales.
Also, the book says Prince designed a very expensensive set, which he dropped midway through the tour as the shows were losing money.
This could explain why he soured on touring behind the album.
