My oldest Prince stub is from early 1983 from the 1999 tour at the Oakland Coliseum. Got lucky at this concert...the Time and Vanity 6 performed. The concerts just before Oakland in LA, the Time did not perform. I was also at Lovesexy in Oakland. I went the first night but wanted to do both. Lovesexy in Oakland was DA BOMB! The Bay Area was/is one of Prince's strongest markets.He was having problems selling out shows in other cities,but the two Oakland shows sold out with no problem.In addition to those two shows,he also performed an aftershow at some small club. | |

Sowhat said: noimageatall said: Well, damn...sue me. It was a long time ago, and all I know is I remember seeing Prince open for Rick on the Fire It Up tour. Rick was throwing "joints" into the audience and they were throwing them on stage at him. I saw Rick many times so forgive me if I can't remember exactly which was which. I was probably high.  It was still the best concert I have ever seen.  I know exactly what you mean. Some of the concerts I went to were 20 or 25 years ago. So if I am off on an exact date or venue big deal. Hell Prince alone I have seen at the Oakland Coliseum/Arena (several times), Cow Palace in SF, San Jose State Event center, HP pavilion in San Jose (several times), The Fillmore in SF, Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, Concord Pavilion, etc.....on 7 or 8 different tours over a span of like 25 years. Did you see Prince in SF in 1993 on the 'Act 1' tour? He did two shows at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium. I was at the two San Jose State Event Center shows in 1997.It was general admission,so for the 1st show,I was able to grab a FRONT ROW spot.This would have been unheard of in the 80s. | |

No, unfortunately I missed the Act 1 tour. I only made it to one show (the first one I think) at the SJS Event Center. I remember it being general admission but by the time we got there the floor was pretty much filled so we sat up in the seats. "Always blessings, never losses......"

All my old stubs are still at my parents' house in my old room growing up.
If I remember correctly, I had a tie between two concerts for oldest stub, I believe it was Prince's 1999 Tour and then The Count Basie Band  | |

You can tell cos Janick Gers is in the photo... They went back to the whole "Powerslave" era stage set, so it's an easy mistake... Sorry, geek alert.. *gets coat* My first ever gig was Simple Minds at Wembley Stadium, August 1989. Support was Gun, The Silencers (yes, very funny, whoever put those two on the bill...) and Texas, who had just had a hit with I Don't Want A Lover off their first album.
