@backinnyc2010 If u have 'The Sacrifice of Victor', or the UN-edited boot!, u can hear my friend in between "if u've got the time baby...OH YEAH!...i've got the rii-iiide...vegas.."! We still laugh about it, & he's still chuffed with himself for immortalising himself! I think P thought "whu..?" funny! We stayed at the front from doors (10pm) til they came on around 3am! People started passing out the second he came on stage, so tight an hot! Most intimate, best gig ever! 1000 capacity or so!
Hey, @backinnyc2010 , i have Levi's pick from bagleys in '93! His last days playing guitar, as Sonny had taken over on bass. It's see-through dark blue, with his signature on one side, and 7 on the other!
Those were Morris's early days on keys, and 17 years later i get to meet him and thank him 4 such an awesome gig! Mavis, The Steeles, GameBoyz! Mayte stage diving! Were right at the front, no-one between us and P. My mate shouts "oh yeah" in the tiny gap at the end of The Ride! Embarrassing!
@backinnyc2010 Where's the original extended version with the vocals in the beginning then the horns? I had this album... so I know there is another better version with the original beginning and a blazing jazz ending.
So-so. It's kinda hard to destroy a P. Rogers Nelson song, but you've done just that! No disrespect but this is exactly what The Artist doesn't us to do; CHANGE HIS SHIT!!. This is also why he remixes his own SH*T!! You took a perfectly (yes, Isay it-perfect) fine tune and because you love PRINCE so much, you apparently lost your way. Now please post the 12" version, so we all can get on with our lives. Thank You!!
@backinnyc2010 From one musician 2 another, 'well done'! Good work. If u went 2 this effort, i put money on u being at Hop Farm last week? Still buzzing! Met Morris and John, and got photos! With all due respect though, considering Prince tracked up all the instruments and vox 2 Manic Monday in one days session (probably less!), i bet he spent less time than u did on this?! ❤
@WeAmLove Are You Serious?? This version takes Prince's masterpiece and turns into a Little Rascals tune. The 12" is BAD...this version is so-so sad. Please don't hype this Brotha' up to tear up anymore of P. Rogers Nelson's cut's. Did you hear the sh*t this Brotha did at 3:14?? Com'on now...who's zoomin' who?? STOP THE VIOLENCE!! As Flavor-Flav once said..."can't trust it!"
@backinnyc2010 Yo Bro' no disrespect to your inventive style, however, would you seriously change a Picasso? ........thought not. uh-oh...I think I here a funky-ass bass line at 5:12...
I loved this song. Remember riding in my car with my friends and the radio station played the extended version back to back. It was great. Haven't heard this song in over 20 yrs.
That was ok. Here's my 2 cents: one of the notes on the repeated sax riff was out of tune. Also would have loved to hear a rendition of Eric Leed's sax solo, and the part where the time signature changes, could have been a little better, in my opinion. I'm sure Brown Mark and Prince would dig it, though. Also, some echo on the Linn Drum handclap. Thanks for posting.
Damn. I had this on Wax
