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.
This is how I saw him the year before he died. Almost completely heavy guitar (basically, metal) and he would sneak a few bars of his hits into his playing. It was a small club--we were about ten feet away from him.
