It still beats Paul McCartney's horrid cover of "Let's Go Crazy".SR wrote:uggTyler Durden wrote:

Wow, what a surprise for the attendees of Lilithfair that year. I was at the one in '98 and we did not have a suprise Prince visit.
Re: Prince has died at 57
Rollins on Prince....not much there, but the music and the gym resonated with me personally; my relationship is identical.

Re: Prince has died at 57
The great thing about Prince is he was so incredibly prolific not just with his own stuff but music he wrote with and for others. This is one of the better live clips with Sheila E:

Re: Prince has died at 57
I still love this. 
Re: Prince has died at 57
I've seen Prince 3 times. By far, the best was the Musicology tour. I had 5th or 7th row; I don't remember now. Anyways, it was close enough to interpret his inflections, banter/band commands, etc.
This jt vid reminds me of one part of the show. Prince took an extended pregnant pause between songs....he didn't speak, nor noodle, nor dance....he just stood brooding. After a meaningful moment of confusion creation, he went back to a purple couch he had on stage, picked up a magazine and returned to center stage and the mic. He put the mag up and clearly across the cover was Madonna. He looked at it and violently with no panache or theater, began to beat the shit out of the mic and screamed, "THIS HAS TO BE ON"! over and over again. He retreated back to the couch and laid down. Of course, everyone went nuts, but I got the very distinct impression that this was a genuine revolt. He stayed there for some minutes before returning to the show. The mic was definitely on.
Reminds me too of a show I heard about, but wasn't at where he kicked Kim Kardashian off the stage.
Thanks for shitting on the thread with "JT".

Re: Prince has died at 57
This is a pretty funny anecdote from last year:
http://www.maxim.com/entertainment/time ... ss-2015-10
The new book, MJ: The Genius of Michael Jackson , includes one particularly amazing example of the rivalry (between Jacko and Prince) coming to a head in 2006, when Prince menaced the King of Pop by playing "aggressive slap bass" in his face at a Las Vegas concert.
This winning anecdote is brought to us courtesy of an Esquire interview with the author, Rolling Stone contributing editor Steve Knopper, who recalls how Black Eyed Peas ringleader and Jackson collaborator will.i.am got caught in the middle of a bizarre showdown between the two arch-rivals.
"Nobody really quite knows the full extent of their rivalry, and I think both of those guys had an interest in keeping it somewhat mysterious because they are both mysterious dudes," Knopper tells writer Dan Hyman.
"But when Prince was doing his Vegas residency around late 2006, Michael was living in Vegas. Will was a guest artist at the Prince residency, but he was also friends with Michael. So Will arranged it for Michael to be a guest in the audience at Prince's show. No one knew it really, but Prince knew it.
"There was a point during the show where Prince was playing bass and he came out into the audience with this giant bass—he knew where Michael was sitting—and he walked right up to Michael and started playing bass in Michael's face. Like aggressive slap bass."
"The next morning, Will went over to Michael's house for breakfast, and they're talking about Prince and the show. And then Michael goes, 'Will, why do you think Prince was playing bass in my face?'
"Michael was outraged. And then started going on. 'Prince has always been a meanie. He's just a big meanie. He's always been not nice to me. Everybody says Prince is this great legendary Renaissance man and I'm just a song-and-dance man, but I wrote "Billie Jean" and I wrote "We Are the World" and I'm a songwriter too.'"

Re: Prince has died at 57
I'd like to have seen that
this clip is amazing. Here he's a band leader, singer, dancer, showman, frontman, comedian and impersonator. All roles played to perfection of course.
His dance move at 1:11 is so cool, I laugh every time I see it.

Re: Prince has died at 57
Wishing for more of that bass clip; so funky.
Re: Prince has died at 57
a lot of the Prince music that got uploaded after his death is now gone, sucks. I guess the people who are patrolling youtube got flooded and are just now regaining control.
Who IS patrolling anyway, I see no other artist doing this on youtube. It's not Warner, cause then they'd do the same with the Chili Peppers eg. so it must be his own people

Prince: "Muhammad Ali was my hero. If he asked me to do anything I'm down with that. I'd even have mowed his lawn!"
Re: Prince has died at 57
Is Muhammad Ali petting Prince or feeling how soft Prince's hair is?
