| Well 4 starters I just can't say which 1 is my favorite 'cuz all the 1's I've ever attended r my favorites. I guess I can just rehash some memories....the 1st time I saw P was in '78-79,he opened 4 Rick James,I was new 2 him as he was new 2 music,the thing that sticks out the most was the afro,leggies, n leather jacket.He took every1 by suprise 'cuz the buzz was "I thought he was a woman,was he gay,n most of all who is he! He killed it! @ the time 4 U & Prince were on his menu of music,"I'm Ur's" was the best song I had ever witnessed being played live & only made me more of a P fan.My next experience was the "Dirty Mind"/"Controversy show.By then P had carved his niche n radioland & The Time was kicking.Another mind blowing experience. Even though Morris had the place jacked,evey1 couldn't wait till Roger & Zapp exited stage left 'cuz believe it r not the place was still abuzz from P's performance 2 years earlier.The next time I saw P was "1999 Tour",by then the audience was a mix of both black & white and the buzz then was was he black r white,I think the white ppl thought he was white from his guitar licks n the blacks claimed him 'cuz he had 2 b a brother 'cuz can't no white man sing a ballad r dance like that! After that it was a while b4 I saw him per4m live besides videos,i.e. "When Doves Cry","Sign 'O' The Times","Live from Vegas",& "Rave Un2 the Joy Fantastic". P finally resurfaced n Columbia,SC in 1998 w/ the "Emancipation" tour,even though I went 2 see it a couple of months earlier in Charlotte because @ the time he wasn't announcing tour stops just "showing up". The last concert I attended was "Musicology",it was gr8 @ see him having fun on stage again,playing older stuff etc.,I'mpraying that something get worked out so he'll return 2 SC,I can just sit & listen 2 him play all day,that's what I remember most about my concert experiences. --- On Thu, 8/26/10, Michelle Sanderson <allfive@gilanet.net> wrote:
