[WeAmLove]

@HypeRhymz Haha! I pity u! Unless u r trolling? Even so, i still urge u 2 actually listen and watch again, especially when he gets on the kit @7:33. Or at least get someone WITH eyes and ears to watch it 4 u.(all the ad-libs, groans, guitar, sax, well mimed!!!) Previously unreleased, 'private' footage, @ Paisley Park sound stage. 100% LIVE! lol. 198?

[HypeRhymz]

[annastesia67]

Good God!!!!!

[Maxqstl]

boom boom and the bomb goes boom now raise oyur hand up i love this song thanks Wendy

[rlipil]

first - wow! - my foot was pumping so hard on this it started to hurt. incredible stuff to be sure. as for guitars, you'll never really know what he used on what for certain, but his most consistent squeeze is an h.s. anderson, madcat model. hohner put them out in the u.s. w/ their name on em, which has led some to believe they're cheepos. far from it. excellent axes, rare, and prince now has several madcats to back the original sexy.

[Aaronbal]

I had this on video tape when I was a kid! I am glad that I was able to get this and d/l! Thanks!

[MrDunkJunk]

This is no spam or BS.

I have the exact same video in much better quality (I got it from a bootleg DVD).

Here is the link: watch?v=yvvVSFHDMKE

Enjoy!

When Doves Cry was recorded solely by Prince in 1983 in introduced to the band already done. As far as the type of guitar Prince played on the record, Prince played different guitars but the thing is he also used various sound effect pedals to achieve what I like to call "The Prince Sound". Maybe he used a Rickenbacker, but what I know for a fact is he DID play the solo and he used an effect pedal to achieve a split/harmonic sound.

[garbeaj]

Wendy played the lead guitar on "When Doves Cry". That is enough to make her a legend. But she and Lisa are still making incredible music, soundtracks, collaborations, they are unstoppable music machines.

[LYMINC]

@garbeaj Hi. Wendy did not play lead on the studio recording of "When Doves Cry", Prince recorded the entire song alone.

[garbeaj]

@LYMINC What is the story on that? The solo is played on a Rickenbacker guitar and Prince never played Rickenbackers. Wendy played the solo live and it sounds exatly like the record. You may be right, but I would love to hear where the evidence is...From my information it was the same situation as when Dez Dickerson played the lead on "Little Red Corvette"...What is the story as you know it behind "When Doves Cry"?

[lpdunks8]

@LYMINC I'm sure Prince did all the studio stuff (since he plays almost everything in there). However; Wendy can put it down. Here is some evidence from When Doves Cry in concert (Prince intros her solo). watch?v=IiqaLID3XRg
