The Beautiful Ones Did Prince ever perform The Beautiful Ones live? It's a shame if he never did. I think that's the best song he's ever recorded. I Am The Shit. You Are Just A Poop Stain. | |

He performs the song live, most recently at the O2 in London last year. ALT+PLS+RTN: Pure as a pane of ice. It's a gift. | |

He also performs it live in a televised concert in New York on the Purple Rain tour which you may be able to find somewhere. I have it in Video and will watch it tonight. Thanks for reminding me | |

Sept.6th was awesome. Such a beautiful song. People were gasping, I mean really gasping for air when he started the screaming part at the end.....it was incredible! Wake up children, dance the dance electric, there isn't much time... Who screamed? Was it you? | |

I so love it... "Do you want him, or do you want ME now?"  | |

He performed it every night on the Purple Rain tour. SynthiaRose said "I'm in love with blackguitaristz. Especially when he talks about Hendrix."

I so love it... "Do you want him, or do you want ME now?" Yeah, some people started screaming, but there was an audible sort of 'gasping'!! Don't know how else to describe it really, I just covered my face with my hands and was like 
Oh, I think he kicked the stool away too during the screaming!!!  [Edited 5/16/08 6:33am] Wake up children, dance the dance electric, there isn't much time... Who screamed? Was it you? | |

I love the way the audience sang the first part of the song on the musicology concert.

My Sweetie and I danced in the stands to it during a Musicology show in Minneapolis. It was wonderful. No one's ever so poor, they can't pick up their yard. Grandma Loy |

UGH! I need to hear this!  I Am The Shit. You Are Just A Poop Stain. | |

I need to hear it, too (cough). Prince stands for Penises Rise In Naughty Creamy Explosions, therefore confirming Prince's satanic homosexual tendencies once and for all. -NouveauDance | |

Only seen the video, can only imagine how intense it is live!

[Edited 5/16/08 6:33am] I guess gasping is the only way to describe it...I remember him kicking the stool away too! Everyone kinda stopped doing whatever they were doing and stood still, listening! Weird but fantastic moment!! I've said this before but it made me cry...such a girl! | |

Yep I heard him do a live acoustic version in the medley section at the 02 and it was totally jawdropping like the other posters on this thread have said. It was the moment in the concert (like 20 minutes in or something) when I suddenly realised 'oh my god that's actually Prince just there' it was incredible!
You might not like the taste but I'm still gonna stick your face in this FUNK | |

I don't know if I've heard TBO's live, but I agree that it is tops!
It's not mysterious, it's assy.

Tooooo long, imo... wait, what? is this thing real? i never heard of an extended version. 'music combining elements of jazz, blues, and soul and characterized by syncopated rhythm and a heavy, repetitive bass line' = Funk! | |

The concert you are talking about is "Prince and the Revolution Live" I have the VHS tape as well still after all these years(back in 84 I do beleive on the PR tour) and yes he does perform "The Beautiful Ones" on it. [Edited 5/17/08 6:28am] I can see myself 98 years old and chatting on the org with cane and walker in hand plus going to tribute concerts cause that guy name Prince will be long gone and will have to sit next to the speakers just to hear the dam music because my hearing aid died | |

He performed it on the Musicology tour, preferably in LA when I saw the video to that I was floored. When he hit those high ass notes I lost all of my fluids that minute and I ain't talkin' about from vomiting! "I got fury in my soul,fury's gonna take me to the glory goal.

Yeah it's cool to hear it uncut, but the extra lines don't add much to the song though."Sometimes you win, blqh, blah, blah." Definitely a good edit. .
