I Confess...I am a HUGE PRINCE FAN!!!

that being said...I love this concert footage:

I have seen him (6-7) times in person.

The 1st time, I went the day of the concert and got a ticket at the door for $13.00 and sat anywhere I wanted to on the lower prom seats at the Summit.


And also he is one of the best guitarist around!!

Same here DM, favorite Artist of all times and arguably one of the most talented. When he put out his first album at 18,(For You) he produced, wrote, sang all lyrics and played all the instruments(27). Unheard of... I have never missed a Prince concert and he's the only person I care to see...

Damn DM, what got you thinking of Prince?

Prince is a beast! Simply one of the most talented cats around! And Satin you're right playa, when I heard his first album in '78 I was fuckin' FLOORED! I never knew that one man could play all those instruments effectively and as efficiently as he did!

I've seen him four times, all in the '80s.

The first time was on the Controversy Tour back in 1981 at The Summit with The Time and Zapp. When he played 'Head', he went on top of the speakers with his guitar and started rubbing the neck real fast and would lick it afterwards. The whole place was SCREAMING!!!

The next year('82), Vanity 6 were the opening act. Y'all remember how bangingly fine Vanity was back in the day! I swore my dick got hard when she bent over one time! And during one song on Prince's show, this fool had a bed onstage and was humping it like crazy!! Y'all already know how the women reacted! LOL!!

Next was the Purple Rain Tour with Sheila E. being the opening act in '85. She was killin' the fuck outta those timbales. Yet another slammin' show!

I last saw him on the Lovesexy Tour in '88. Sheila E. was on drums KILLIN"! Prince did two shows that night. he had the Summit ROCKIN"!!

I would love to see him again as he ALWAYS puts on a helluva show. And for a lil' dude in this 50's he has the most energy of anyone I've ever seen in that age bracket.

He is simply a legend, no doubt!

Another thing I wanna add is how everybody thought Prince was a faggot, especially when her first busted on the scene wearing a trenchcoat, some draws and boots. When I saw that shit I was like "what the fuck, is he gay??" But the truth of the matter is, Prince probably has gotten more pussy than all of us combined!

I admit singing Purple Rain a time or two in the Karaoke Bar

Damn Kerwil...that's the 1st one that I went to, $13.00 to get in the door. There is some footage of the concert at the Summit on youtube.

Since James Brown and MJ are gone....He's the last of the BIG 3??

As a life long musician, yes a white blues bassist, he is definitely a monster on the six string.
Very talented musical guy, Prince.
I probably have 2 of his songs on my ipod....ijs.

"Same here DM, favorite Artist of all times and arguably one of the most talented" He's one of the all time best in my book. Outstanding composer and musician.

Out of the Big 3 - Prince, Michael Jackson and Madonna, I've always liked Prince the most. Very mysterious dude, but his talent was undeniable. Freaking musical genius. You're right Kerwil, he's banged more hoes than we could ever imagine.

Being a Prince fan club member gets you advance notice on upcoming concerts and the chance to buy first. I've never had worse than 5th row on any show.
He was here in a small club downtown with a local Houston singer a while back. Totally different show but still the man.
Funny story DM: me and my boys went to his hometown to try to see his crib. That didn't work out so well...lol

My mom loves prince.

Very jealous of you guys who got to see Prince live in his prime. Not that he's isn't still going strong.

And I agree, one of the best to ever do it.

Prince is the greatest living guitarist around now. (Other than Stevie Ray Vaughan who was the best IMHO)

Check out this guitar solo of Prince at the rock and roll hall of fame.........



I have seen Prince about 7 times over the years. The first time he was touring with his first album.....with the cut Soft and Wet..........He was on tour with Teddy Pendergras.....Peabo Bryson and Prince.

Prince opened up and did three songs.......off that first album.....He was actuallly booed coming out there is those thigh high boots and those femine tendencies.......Couldn't believe it.........But, that crowed was there for Peabo and Teddy...........lol


Saw him later during the Controversy tour and saw him twice during the Purple Rain tour that sold out 7 straight days at the summit. That first show of that 7 day sellout.......after THe Time finished the lights came on and there was a guy dressed up looking like Michael Jackson with the red jacket walking around on the floor. People started throwing drinks at him.............LOL

Checked him about again during the Raspberry Beret tour and saw him twice in Vegas at his club.

Then got a surprise show of his one night when he just walked on stage at this club in New Orleans and took over the show.

In New Orleans, the locals avoid Bourbon Street and go to clubs on Frenchman street. You can see many famous musicians that live in NOLA, just hanging out and many times you can see something that will blow your mind.
I was at a club on frenchman street........Prince was dressed in a T-shirt, Jeans, boots and a bandana.......Didn't even look like him......he was at a table with other people.......walked up on stage took the guitar and turned it out for those in the club.....It was mind blowing........He didn't play any of his songs..........Played blues, jazz and just basically fucked up the place with his guitar playing.....it was amazing.

I believe there are programs out to help you fucktards.

Anyone ever seen Kenny Wayne Shepherd. That guy can shred and is self taught.

This could turn into an argument real quick but Joe Walsh makes playing a guitar look effortless. I thinck the dude can play rhythm and lead at the same time.

A guy that took me by complete surprise with his ability with a guitar was Lindsey Buckingham. It never occurred to me that he was the one playing all those solos with Fleetwood Mac until I saw them in concert. I thought he just had an incredibly strong voice.
