Can you think of any live moments when Prince messes up his lyrics? I was just listening to a boot of The Time doing Blondie, with Morris singing "Mind of a superstar, body of a ten year old" - now that is just plain wrong.

At the second of the two recent Montreux-shows he got the lyrics to "I Love U But I Don´t Trust U Anymore" wrong during the second chorus, singing "I know U love me, but U don´t love me anymore" instead of "I know U trust me, but U don't love me anymore". Just like the sun, the rainbow children rise... | |

I think it's in the second part of the Strollin'/U Want Me medley on the Live At The Alladin DVD where he just sings "bla-bla-bla" and then continues with another line | |

at a SNL performance of Electric Chair he says 'pimes of passion' instead of 'crimes of passion' | |

He fucked up the first verse of 'When I Lay My Hands on U' fairly royally on the first Montreux show, but had obviously gone away and worked on it, cause he nailed it on the second. "Maybe the cartridge U was playin'

He messed up the first words on the original recording of "I Would Die 4 U" at First Avenue. He obviously overdubbed the correct lyrics later. Seems like he flubbed a few in "Purple Rain" at that same gig. Ernest L Sewell, IV

 I'm not so sure that is a mistake, on every recording I have of Strollin/U Want Me he does the same thing. I've never really looked into it but I think that might be the actual lyrics, either that or he couldn't think of anything to go there!! Some people are like Slinkies...

I always thought that was a mistake. I haven't listened to it in a while but didn't he start the last verse too soon? Was that first guitar solo a cover for it? |

He fucked up Prince and the Band on the My Band's Tight boot. Drum machine went crazy too. Nothing tight about the band in that particular performance. "Dave, this conversation can serve no purpose anymore. Goodbye. " - HAL, 2001

I remember a Musicology show and Sign O The Times where he sang the first line a couple of times,seemed he wasnt into it and went into a different track. Fuck the funk - it's time to ditch the worn-out Vegas horns fills, pick up the geee-tar and finally ROCK THE MUTHA-FUCKER!! He hinted at this on Chaos, now it's time to step up and fully DELIVER!!

That part always cracks me up!! Also in Paris 1981 on the Dirty Mind tour he messed up during the 2nd verse of Jack U Off,despite having the lyrics with him on stage by his microphone lol.

On the NBC Today Show during the tribute to Bryant Gumbel's last day when Prince dressed like Bryant, he was performing Take Me With U/Raspberry Beret melody with an added part in the middle about Bryant's clothes. For a brief second he stumbled on the words (you could kinda tell on his face) but quickly remembered what came next.

I was wondering about that. "I'm not your lover, I'm not your man". I was curious if maybe that wasn't the track used on the album. Do U Lie? | |

Was it the acoustic musicology show on mtv where he messed up on Kiss and had to start over? It seems like I've seen that somewhere. | |

He got the timing wrong and he just started adlibbing, but he made it sound good, but he jacked them up pretty bad. __________________________________________________
