Prince Concerts That Exist



These are concerts from Prince that I know of from the Nude tour of 1990. Unlike the previous year's Lovesexy Tour, this one included many songs in their entireties, allowing for less songs to be played during the tour. The tour was the precursor to the Graffiti Bridge movie, and a couple of songs from the soundtrack were played on a regular basis: The Question of U and We Can Funk. In addition, Thieves in the temple was played on occasion. Since there was no tour to promote the Batman soundtrack, several songs from the Batman soundtrack were played every night: the Future, Batdance and Party Man, while Scandalous was played during the preview shows but dropped from the set after that. The tour also marked the introduction of the New Power Generation and the Game Boyz.

Here is the typical tracklist for a Nude Tour show:

DAT Intro, The Future/Rock to the Flow (Rock 2 the Flow was added to the normal setlist in August, as an additional rap by Tony M.), 1999, Housequake/Sexy Dancer, Kiss/In the Mood, Purple Rain, Take Me With U, Alphabet St./It Takes 2/The Latest Fashion rap, The Question of U/Electric Man, Do Me Baby, DMSR, Controversy, Ain't No Way, Nothing Compares 2 U, Bat Dance, Party Man, Baby I'm a Star/We Can Funk


In addition, many other songs were played on occasion, including When Doves Cry, Bambi, Don't Make Me Pay 4 Your Mistakes, Down Home Blues, Joni Mitchell covers Blue Motel and A Song 4 U, Jerk Out, Rescue Me, Respect, Irresistable Bitch, What Have U Done 4 Me Lately, The Humpty Dance, among others. A couple of times, he rapped verses from Ice Cream Castles and I Wanna Melt with U, along with Horny Pony during some of his ad libs.
