21 Apr
Summary
- A critic reviewed Prince's first show in 1979 and his last in 2016.
- Prince's debut concert review highlighted his charisma and style.
- The final concert review praised Prince's raw musicality and artistry.
A notable connection exists between a music critic and the legendary Prince, spanning the beginning and end of his live performance career. The critic's first review captured Prince's encouraging debut in Minneapolis on a freezing January night in 1979, noting his Mick Jagger-like swagger.
Decades later, the same critic reviewed Prince's intimate Piano & a Microphone Tour concert in Atlanta on April 14, 2016. This performance was celebrated for its raw musicality, featuring stripped-down versions of hits like 'Little Red Corvette.'
