The '''1999 Tour''' was a ] by American recording artist ] in support of his fifth studio album, '']''. It was, up till then, his longest tour of the United States. In addition to Prince and his band, his latest all-girl group, ], made their first live act tour along with the returning ].

==History==
This tour saw the debut of Vanity 6 as a live act to go along with The Time as opening act. Even with the release of The Time's second album, '']'', tension between Prince and The Time escalated as the band was forced to play as Vanity 6's band during their 40-minute set with only a small increase in pay. They were further slighted by having to play behind a curtain, while the sultry ] performed out front on stage. Eventually, the heat between the bands and the fact that Prince was getting increasingly insecure at The Time's nightly great performances, led to Prince dropping them from the tour completely.<ref name="autogenerated1">{{cite news|title= Prince: Life & Times|author= Jason Draper| publisher=Jawbone Press|year=2008}}</ref>

This marked the end of guitarist ]'s tenure as a member of Prince's band. In the prior year, Dez became a born-again Christian and found himself conflicted playing music that contained Prince's racy lyrics. He was further upset when prior to 1982's Homecoming Tour stop in Minneapolis, he expressed his desire to omit "Head" from that night's set, that often ended with Prince simulating masturbating with his guitar. Dez gathered support from the rest of the members in the band to show a united front requesting they would not play the song in front of Dez's family, but when Prince was confronted and called for a vote, all but Dez sided with Prince, angering Dez.<ref name="autogenerated1"/>

With Dez's impending departure, Prince had already found a replacement in ]'s childhood friend ], who had already been participating in soundchecks with the band and would even stand in for Dez when he was not available. By the last leg of the tour, Wendy was officially the ] guitarist.

Initially, Prince had planned on playing at London's Dominion Theatre but opted out at the last minute, in order to continue gaining status across the United States.

==Set list==
The typical 1999 Tour setlist started with the "Don't worry..." intro from "]" before an instrumental buildup to "]", which segued into "]". "]" was another staple from the ''Controversy'' album. Although some occasional older material was played, the remainder of the concert focused on new material. A keyboard interlude by Lisa introduced the new "]". An extended "Lady Cab Driver" was a highlight and the slow jam "]" were always played, as well as
"]" and "1999" (which often closed the show). "D.M.S.R." was usually worked in, sometimes as an encore. Occasionally some older material included "]", "]" and "]". "]" sometimes segued into "How Come U Don't Call Me Anymore?". Between acts, songs from ]'s '']'' were played.
