  • i love this man & his music! im a real fan!!;)

  • Prince is a talented musician and a visionary. No sound coming from this.

  • i'm a huge Prince fan....but that "fresh out of the hot-rollers" hair kills me...lol

  • LET MY PEOPLE GO!!!!!!

  • Put on the CD, play it and the video at the same time - Prooooblem solved!

  • I own this god damn record on cassette but I cant even listen to it here! In fact,I bought 13 Prince albums over the years. So Prince,enjoy living the high life courtesy of people like me. And while you're at it~go fuck yourself.

  • Prince....I mean seriously let us enjoy your music

  • Totally agree!!! I'm a nice tranny and I burp as a Carolina trucker at a beer fair.... and I can be as sweet as honey even if I'm all damned day on boards, cables and codes....

    You know what?

    Simple People needs simple codes.... but life (and its codes) are all but simple.... so we gotta learn to interpret and survive among faded colors..... reality is not made up of 8 bit/16 colors but of 32, 64 bit/ million, billion colors....(fortunately....)

  • buy the CD folks...

  • that notice sign in PINK sucks

  • @GuanGuan29 can I get this video with sound from you directly. Please let me know, just leave your answer in my inbox. Thank you.

  • For those of you bitching about the sound, it's not Prince, it's Warner, who still owns the rights to this.

  • Sexy Muthafucka. 

  • DAMN you prince . you to money hungry. we cant buy these videos you should let all us enjoy the moment 

  • @theEricoeric , You are right -on about the money, Insiders and close friends of Prince had it down on record, that Prince would invite certain close friends to his shows and tell them, You gotta pay for your ticket and your own airfare. cheap, just like Michael Jordan cheap and tight. with millions... shame

  • @kmauryo looks like ill down load this one you can hear them on my channel

  • how many times do we have to pay for it? already own the movies, the music but still wants more money just to watch a video

  • Look at that hair.... I would kill for hair like that!!!!

  • I'm not mad at him...

  • Thumbs up if you'd like to mute Waner Bros...

  • (MUTE LOCK) ASSHOLES.

  • Prince had more of a mick jagger style than a jimi hendrix style lol ...... U go PRINCE

  • no sound

  • sad a main arttist is silent here funny::!!!!! and this  song is so loudly good:!

  • NO AUDIO = LAME VIDEO!

  • PRINCETAFKAPBITCHSJITBITCH..KU­T..ZOALSWEDATINBRABANTZEGGEN..

    LET ME HEAR THIS....

  • i heard prince and dez had a thing going on if u know what i mean. bith look very queer men.

  • i remember when this song came out. prince was the shxx then and he is today. big prince fan. if you like creative and unique individuals you must watch on you tube YOU SYMBOLIZE HOPE

  • For some reason prince does not allow his videos to be played on you tube what a bummer!

  • Not fair that prince fans cant listen to his songs ! not sure how anyone could steal the song from here but ok maybe one day prince will trust people enough to let them see his videos and actually listen to it.

  • I really wish I could upload at least 50+ very good quality videos I downloaded from another You Tuber that I have on my PC, but I was threatened with account cancellation about two years ago, and his account has since been cancelled about a year ago. The guy that I downloaded from apparently spent his life following Prince over the years and these are very up front and close concert recordings secretly done

  • @mjmbluford upload them to dailymotion. com. he doesn't take his videos off from there. Please send me the link if you do. write me if u have questions.

  • To add to that, I have a recording of Prince singing Purple Rain @ First Ave before the Movie and Album that was cleaned up for the Movie version. I'm lead to believe this person I got these from on YouTube had to be close to Prince, as I have basement rehearsal video of him as far back as the Album Controversy, and Band goofing around.

  • fuck universal! i guess ill pull out the old record!

  • Bunch of shiit..why can't we listen ?

  • Sorry but that ish us gay! Lol great tune but umm yeh writing's on the wall yo

  • what a load of shit lady bloody gaga and shit rap crap get on air twats

  • ultra perm

  • DAMN...this is priceless too bad they couldnt let this one be left alone with audio !!

  • 10 people are to  young to get it let them have lady gaga and lil wayne,,,

  • This is precisely why a younger generation will not be able to appreciate Prince. He's such a dumb ass: put your shit on YouTube, let people have access to your material and you'll make more $ asshole.

    He's a great musician and entertainer but what a douche!

  • DAMN WHAT DID YOU TUBE DO TO MAKE PRINCE BLOCK HIS SONG FROM PLAYING HERE ? DAMN I WANT TO HEAR IT I LOVE THIS SONG!

  • WHY IS THERE NO MUSIC!!!!! FUCK OFF UMPG PUBLISHING!!! NO ONES EVEN HEARD OF YOU

  • So...they let you play the video...but no sound????...can the same be said about porn???

  • damn man...share your gift with us. the vid isn't shit without the mf music...BEEYOTCH!

  • I DONT HEAR THE MUSIC!!!! WAAAAAAAAAAH :,(

  • b4 Lisa Coleman their was Gayle Chapman

  • wow i've never seen this version before. its an eye opener. looks like he's wearing adult diapers. warners must have shit themselves after seeing this. did he borrow the silver boots from the set of buck rogers? Is that gayle chapman on keys? now i know why she quit - because of princes fashion sense. andres bass looks suspiciously like princes famous cloud guitar. i guess just another thing he ripped off from andre huh? yes u need to get this video off you tube mr nelson. for all our sakes.

  • dont know what the big deal is back then it was not unusual for dudes to push the envelope in their look. today singers are very conservative and try to come off to be much harder than they really are and if they are too stylish its as if the record company forces them to be less so. take for instance r+b singer Lloyd he had long straight hair and oops he cut it off. as if short hair will guarantee a hit record. now he just looks regular, he looks unhappy and still no hit records.

  • This Sucks. It's Not prince music. No stars!

  • @butterp7

    I was wondering if anyone else would comment on Andre's bass...that's a trip.

  • BMG NEED TO STOP!!!! Nobody in the mass ask for their nanny prensence!!!!

  • @archiezoso

    Fair enough. I'm just saying he's got "the money"

  • I am secure enough as a straight male to confess Prince is beautiful.

  • @7A35 you looked into his eyes didn't you....lol (if you dont get it look up Jamie Foxx on Prince)

  • he is ssso cute! i dont know of any other male that can rock that hair the way he did! 

  • 70's Prince is fucking awsome!!!! agree's than thumbs up!!

  • wow i wish i could hear this . this is some seriously rare footage . . . wow!

  • A producers wet dream.

  • @ogaextreme2035 Prince produces his own music and I'm sure he has sexual dreams about himself as well.

  • FUCK U ALL! LET ME LISTEN THIS SHIT!

  • @aceinfo2 I Fuckin' Ageree!!!!!!

  • @aceinfo2 amen!

  • @aceinfo2 Buy the album. He put a ton of effort into his music, it;s 10 bucks buy it

  • @DrunkenMasterWarrior I have the album in at least 3 formats... I'd like to enjoy this video, This video that is unavailable elsewhere for free or for a price...

  • @aceinfo2 Can you spell R O Y A L T I E S !!!

  • no sound

  • WHO CARES IF THEY TAKE AWAY THE SOUND!!!! LOOK AT PRINCE!!!! O...M...G!!!!

  • ruk geluid weg

  • SOUND!!

  • I have always loved prince. I am a Gay man that loved seeing a openly gay man so out!.....I want Prince so bad.

  • @nickelwindow53

    Prince is not gay, well, not 100%...whatever...

  • @edulpd I dont like how Prince gets a pass just because he is Prince. If I walk down the street in high heels and make-up people are going to say I am Gay, Why because Prince does it he is not Gay. I am a true fan of his, but dont give him a pass because of who he is. If it walks and talks like a duck then its a duck.

  • @nickelwindow53 Prince gay? Prince get's more pussy then a scratching post.

  • @joezetank Maybe so but in princes lifetime he has had as much dick and ass as a toliet and I would love prince sexy azz to fuck me!

  • @joezetank LoL!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @nickelwindow53 I can assure you that Prince is 100% straight hetro...trust me on this...tis all.;)

  • @bruib LOL so have you had him ;) .......How big is it? I bet its huge.

  • @nickelwindow53 Big misunderstanding!!! I left that reply not bruib bc I forgot he was signed in (sorry bruib) when I replied to you.

    Sorry, I cannot comment on that.;)lol

    Anyway, how many guys have said they've had him?!? Not many or any for that matter. People in the know laugh at ur idea of him being gay. He's not even feminine in real life, it was just the way musician's acted then bc being seen as bi was cool (blame Bowie). In real life, this dude was like an old skool pimp!lol Tis all..x

  • @joie30303 aw well i think its sooo cool. I want to be seen as bisexual aswell. I mean we should just accept people as they are

  • @nickelwindow53 Don't let anyone or thing stop you from being who you are. Life is wayyyyy too short!:)

  • @joie30303 so true! But I do want that that damn prince. He is too sexy to me! ;)

  • @bruib It's sad that these days people (and back then) make judgments on men if they dare cross the 'gender" lines, such as growing their hair out or styling it different than "real" men are supposed to. So what... we wears eyeliner and has a flip to his hair. LOL Doesn't mean he is gay. I am gay and I don't even dress like that or act feminine, so does that mean I am straight? Umm. no. So people need to stop making assumptions. All indications are that he adores women and has been with many.

  • @cjs33139 I am agree w u. He is the MAN and I just get sooo crazy everytime a see him, He turns me on at ones :-))))

  • @cjs33139 & I love him for being so in touch with himself it is so sexy & I admire all his qualities as a man, a musician & a person. I see him as a great artist that is unique & thank goodness he is who he is coz he makes the best dawg gone music that oozes sex appeal & class.

  • @cjs33139 You are absolutely right. Ignorant people should stop stereotyping gay people.

  • @cjs33139 prince knew exactly what he was doing and it worked ! :) he was never ever gay...in his own words< "we purposely stoood out among our peers to get people talking and getting the attention

  • @nickelwindow53 Prince is not gay. I guess you're not a true fan, u just go by how he looks in this performance.

  • @richluvsdee I dont like how Prince gets a pass just because he is Prince. If I walk down the street in high heels and make-up people are going to say I am Gay, Why because Prince does it he is not Gay. I am a true fan of his, but dont give him a pass because of who he is. If it walks and talks like a duck then its a duck.

  • @nickelwindow53 dude you have evry right to walk the streets with ur high heels and makeup! people will only think ur a tranny! and you might get your ass kicked, depends on where your at!lol, but prince is a artist, just expressing himself,but i doubt if you would catch him in the streets wearning that!!! only on stage man!!!Flip Wilson use to dress as a woman,remember "Gerldine".dont mean she was gay.and if he was so what. be who you are man! just enjoy the music and Prince would say"PARTY UP"

  • HEY!!1 Andre's bass is a prototype of the Purple Rain Cloud Guitar!!!

  • i think prince had just came from the gym that day from playing basketball or aerobics class

  • He like TOOOOOTALY had a BONER lol Off the chain! :-)

  • he was fine

  • There was another YT video of Prince performing this song live; I think it may have been the Midnight Special tv show or similar. It was pulled down. Too bad. It was a really good performance. I hope someone reposts it. I think Prince was wearing a tiger print speedo in that particular performance. If anyone knows if it's back on YT, I'd like to see it again.

  • why cant we have popular and contempory black artist anymore?

  • Nice outfit.

  • Sucha tune.

  • LOL !! Good lord what the hell is Prince wearing ? And why is Dez taking his shirt off near the end of the video ? And is that Andre Cymone or Brown Mark on Bass ? So many questions !! Man, PRINCE can write the hell out of a song !! *Please don't mention Prince and Lady GaGa in the same sentence, one is a musical legend, the other is a marketing department created, pro tools using idiot, who's 15 minutes are hopefully, just about up.

  • @jizzy310 andre cymone on bass, dez is a tru rocker man!! in this time prince was RAW!!! and at his best!!! this was the best band prince ever had!!!after andre left, thats when things went all down hill. but if you watch alot of his early vids,you'll see alot of mick jagger,tyler perry moves prince stole!! you didnt see the james brown stuff till purple rain. REVOLUTIONARY ROCK N ROLL

  • @hung0sowell my bad STEVEN TYLER

  • @hung0sowell I agree I love the old Prince, although I will always respect all his work. I became a fan in 1981 when Controversy and doo me baby were on the radio, then came 1999...i saw Lisa and JJ on that keyboard and i was hooked!

  • it sounds out of tune for some reason??

  • Nice.

  • Uhh...hella McJagger. Regardless, Prince is king.

  • lmao prince looks like jamie lee curtis in the first halloween mikel........

  • @spinmark1980 she was black n had a mooostach?

  • what the hell is he wearing??????

  • @blondage100 ikr. i didnt notice it for a minute cause i was bobbing to the music, but when i did....i just stopped...and stared. disturbing. more disturbing than the tight pants and curls.

  • Saw him in concert! He was awesome!!

  • classic footage though.pay homage.

  • This guy shouldve been much much bigger ... I have now idea how he couldve screwed up

  • what the heezy does he have on

  • That's the sexist little video I have ever seen. I love Prince Roger Nelson.

  • Prince is so dope.... But why'd he have on some track shorts with leg warmers and some leather boots? LMAO......

  • @ramelly1 lol it was the new look for 1980 styles crazy haugh....

  • The Best song !!! ;) yeah

  • Lip synced, and terrible audio quality. I am reporting this to Prince (EXNICRP) management.

  • i like this tune.i remember singing this in 1979

  • love this song.

  • funny, since he played all the instruments on the album, he had to put together a band to present a group for videos and concerts. Did a good job. Tooo pretty - go on purple yoda!

  • Lol, look at his outfit!!

  • Look at Prince...looking lika Halle Berry with a goatee, LMFAO!!!!

  • i felt that Prince was putting out cool stuff until up to Little Red Corvette. After that i can't stomach the Purple Rain stuff.

  • he is so hott

  • this is the earliest footage of Prince I have ever seen .. magic .. got to be 78-79 .. where did you get this?

  • a little bit jacksonish but he would never leave a pause that pregnant after>the only one who makes you come..

  • adore this man. also, this video is off the effing chain!

    not to mention that he looks like jimi hendrix and jim morrison had a baby.

    with a little george michael from his wham days with that outfit.

  • @rockandrollmadonna i bet george michael copied this for future wham style material. the original from 1978-79 looks way cooler

  • adore this man. also, this video is off the effing chain!

    not to mention that he looks like jimi hendrix and jim morrison had a baby.

  • prince is so cute.

  • I've loved Prince since I was 14 years old. His 1999 concert was the 1st concert I had ever been to. I just wish I could give him a big hug today (Oct 16th) since I know he is probably sad seeing as it would have been his son's (Boy Gregory) 14th birthday today had he have lived. I know the pain of losing a child is something you never get over. I hope all is well.

  • very sexual :p

  • LOL!! boxers, leg warmers and silver boots!! I love it!!!

  • @wayne2020z : I'd say in the end prince was the more talented artist. Michael was the better dancer (yawn), and had the better voice technically. But prince was R rated and a true rock star.

  • Only the Artist gets away with an outfit like that...

  • dez is bad to the bone

  • The original Lady Gaga The musical genius Prince

  • This song was rumored to be written about Patrice Rushen. Prince had a small crush on her at one time. :)

  • @eternalthruchrist1 I thought it was written about Sheila E, thats around time when they first met

  • @PhuckHue2

    Hey, yeah I heard it was about Patrice Rushen. He did have a brief crush on her at one time. Patrice is also musically inclined and plays a couple instruments. Maybe he was attracted to that about her? But Prince has had so many lady loves, it's unreal. Lol. :)

  • Who hasn't fantasized about bangin Lisa? She was hot!

  • prince was bad back then......he's llike 3 ft. tall!!!!! LOL

  • Filthy McNasty. In a good way.

  • Greatttttttttttt song

  • People think lady gaga is outrageous.... lol

    Prince is Original,sexy,GUTSY and a musical G.

  • @dappahand Prince can out-GaGa Lady Gaga right off the stage.

  • @earnestf Yeah, at least Prince has the talent to back up the look.

  • @earnestf : haha.... that's an understatement. She should be proud that her fake name was even included in the same sentence as Prince.

  • @earnestf mr.gaga

  • @earnestf Prince looks straight and cool compared to Justin Bieber & Lady Gaga.

  • @BBQFanNo1 your right everything so commercail now if you werent a kid or a teen in those dayz you missed out i wonder if lady gaga or justin clever lol can play an instrument.........lmao think not.......

  • @spinmark1980 the difference is those two cant play instruments plus think of what percentage of singers today actually sound aweful vocally without autotune.

    cnn news recently did a special program about the auto-tune gimmick and it being overused in the music industry too much the past 10 years.

  • @earnestf

    Who cares.... they both obsolete and both lack luster imitations of the real deal.

  • @earnestf first of all there ain't no lady in gaga...........like the song goes DUDE LOOKS LIKE A LADY and prince is a total package with real talent ............... not some gimic star wannabe

  • Prince is like the black american soulful version of David Bowie, he can wear whatever the hell he wants

  • what the hell is he wearing? lmao!

  • yeah i dnt k prince used to look like tht way cool man.

  • I thought this was a parody! Is that really Prince?

  • LeAnne, you were my lover back in 1979!

  • He's gonna get you, Suckas !

  • Here he comes...

  • i remember the first time i heard Prince.i thought it was a woman lol.

  • I always tease my wife that his hair has more bounce than her's.

  • @sdrob40 lmao you shot me down......

  • what a development. from this performing status quo to his real perfect Show today.

    These musicians are sexy and talented.
