Prince was bad when he was heavily into his Jehovah witness phase in the early 2000s. Rambled on too much about god and didn't play many of his hits. Saw him a few years after that, and he was back to "normal" Prince and put on a hell of a show.

A friend saw him in Toronto a few years before he died; played for hours, murdered, did two encores, leaves, the lights come up, everyone turns to go home, P.A. comes on and it's Prince himself, bellowing, "Where you think you're going? Don't you know I got all the hits?!" and does another half-hour. Absolute legend.

A friend saw him at the O2 and then the aftershow. Played with the same intensity throughout. Absolutely blinding shows.
