[@MadHatterND]

The song that made we me want to move to Minneapolis in the 80s!

[@kamelhamlaoui9983]

I did in 2004, worked at the first Ave. Then again in 2007. See him at the First Ave… it was the last time after 14 times.

Prince and Michael greatest artist of the known world period Michael represents my childhood my inspiration for playing and prince represents who I became as a adult artist daring different and never wanting to be in a clique 👍👍😎🌈

This was opening night of the Controversy Tour. The Time opened the show....

[@sparkspark2314]

I saw him on this tour at the Santa Monica Civic! They shook the arena!!!

[@briandonald]

This is the Dirty Mind tour. You can hear Andre Cymone's background vocals. Also, this is the last song, probably the encore and Prince usually started off the Controversy tour shows with either Uptown or the Second Coming.

[@lesal.1373]

​​@@briandonaldIn Pittsburgh 1st song was Sexuality, after the Second Coming recording. I think this was edited. The chant of "we want Prince" didn't happen at Fire it Up, Prince's 1st time in Pittsburgh. I was at both.
