You know when you know someone is the best who's ever done it? It's when nobody else could ever cover your song and even come close to matching your performance.
Prince is without a doubt one of the greatest artist of all time. it's sad that his brilliance is often forgotten or lost on this "ring tone" generation.
Anyone need some purple funk in their lives? Unreleased Prince songs, Prince concerts on dvd and cd, Prince tv apperances/interviews from 1980-2011, etc? Send me a message with your email address and I'll send U my full Prince dvd/cd bootleg list.
@princelovesme94 ...I can only imagine. A friend was lucky enough to see one of his impromtu private ones when he was in town!!! Now that IS amazing...and proves he isn't all about money and cares for his fans!!!: D
Apparently Prince along with Micheal Jackson were Amy WInehouse favourite musicians from the that decade 1980s. I say this because Amy WInehouse had such great taste in Music. Although AW really liked the Jazz greats from the 1940s and 1950s.
Churchie70..sorry to correct you, but this posted video isn't from the syracuse VHS. On the syracuse VHS release, prince doesn't play the double tambourines like he does on this one. Also, the version they are playing here closely matches the initial minutes of the Japanese import CD of the 10 minute long prerecorded version. But, regardless, whether from Syracuse or Atlanta, this is my alltime favorite concert...period.
Every song is great!! WOW!! Sheila E and the Revolution on stage longgggg time ago.. Sounds good live tell you that much.. I was a young buck back then
oh hell yeah I was there, Shelia E opened for him with glowing sticks, and it kicked ass, better than Rush, Subdivisions tour, and that is a fact, but Pink Floyde The Wall beat that
If anyone does dislike this, then they are fucking stupid. Just saying. This is way better than any concert you would see by ANYONE today. This show is pure soul and magic.
he is just bursting with energy look at him he having so much fun. one thing you can say is that prince and micheal jackson sure preformed diffently on stage.
i love prince and this one of my favorite songs by him. i just gotta dance to i would die 4 u. i wish i was born back then i love watching this preformance the audiance is having a good time. prince knows how to put on a show.
