The song Xenophobia is instrumental when he's doing it live he talks about this ain't 1984 so if you've come to get your Purple Rain on you better hit the door. Now correct me if I'm wrong orgers.

xenophobia (the song) is that brass riff you hear when you hit the main page of npgmc.
xenophobia means fear of the other. satrte said "l'enfer c'est l'autre" - hell is other people. that is true, if you want it to be. but then again, some might say that heaven is other people. both are true depending on where your heart is.

not on the soundboard version i got from Indianapolis.On that one he asks some girl "is it better to give or receive?" she, being a nice girl says "Give" and he says "well would you mind giving your seat up to that person at the back?" Which comes across as really funny when you hear it.

He asks another girl "is it better to be a leader or a follower?" she says Leader."too bad" says prince.Another girl obviously says follower and he asks her to follow him, he then asks if he can get her anything, and she says no politely.he then goes on to play a blistering solo on his guitar presumably for her.

It's a great tune, and i can't wait to see it for myself on the 7th.

I got that too but I think he was pretty much having a moment with the audience rather that being part of the song.

I got the 6cd set from New York gig 9/4/2002, and he says same thing.On Xenophobia he says"Last time I checked, this was not 1984, so if U come to get your Purple Rain on, U might as well hit the door"
And the 'leader or follower thing too!'He says , "Is it better 2 be a leader or a follower?"This guy says follower, so he says"Well, follow me", takes him up on satge, gives him a seat, and says "Would u like anything else?A beveridge?, dancing girls?, Is that a bootleg t-shirt u have on?Cuz I don't remember seeing that in our concession stand!!"
I thought it was an off-the-cuff remark, I didnt realise he did it at other shows too-I'll be looking out 4 that at the Manchester gigs!!
