Brentastic Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 I've been a huge Prince fan for years. The guy is just the funkiest, grooviest musician to ever grace the stage. If you have time to watch, this is a monsterous show. It clocks in at 1 hour 25 minutes. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1...821802261658318 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
electricrelish Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 Yeah, I was fortunate to see him in Charlotte earlier this decade. It was the year he said he was going to retire a lot of his hits. I don't know if he actually did that or not, but he did a big medley of them. Very long show too. Then a couple of years he came back to play an even smaller venue that was in walking distance from my home. I was pissed because I had to go out of town for work and had to miss the show. Normally, I don' t like to see performers past their prime years because it's sometimes an expensive way of trying to recapture something that was special at the time, but doesn't quite measure up anymore. It's not always the case. I had a good time seeing B.B. King this year, and he's 84 years old. Prince is still one of the great performers worth seeing as well.

j2v Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Purple Rain Tour back in the 80's, early 80's Saw him at the old St. Paul Civic Center on Christmas Eve afternoon in 1984 on the Purple Rain tour. Opened with "Let's Go Crazy" and flowers fell from the ceiling (we were on the main floor, maybe 20 rows back). His guitar solo for Purple Rain was the definition of the "I want to take you higher" guitar solo. All in all it was an amazing show. Sheila E. was the opening act. My understanding is he has a similarly amazing solo on "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame concert inducting the Beatles; I'll have to track that down online somewhere. 2V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it's been posted on the tailgate before. Not sure if I could call a musician of his stature over-rated, but that freaky dude is just an amazing musician who seemingly doesn't get enough credit for his talent across the board.

Venus Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 (edited) Yeah, I was fortunate to see him in Charlotte earlier this decade.

I was into him from middle school on and since he was "retiring", it was a must see. And even at his age then, he still had moves that made the ladies swoon. Still could bust out that split.
