The Exodus Has Begun

Being the knowledgable bunch you are, I wondered if anyone could tell me if Prince & The NPG ever play The Exodus Has Begun live?

I think its one of the funkiest tracks ever, but I don't ever recall hearing the band play it.

plus, that chant should've been used at more concerts, imo.

Surely he's played it live during those days. He was doing a LOT of prince (new) material back then, and rejecting a lot of "Prince" material.

I could groove on "The Exodus Has Begun" all day. It's SICK. The live version of "Return of the Bump Squad" released on NPGMC 2001 is truly funkier than a sack of granddaddies!

Untrue, there ain't nothing funkier than a sack of grandaddies (well maybe 2 sacks)

u must have never met MY grandfather!

One bright day in the middle if the night,
2 dead boys got up to fight.
Back 2 back they faced each other,
drew their swords and shot each other
A deaf Policeman head this noise,
he came and shot the 2 dead boys.
