Best Prince song (for the opening dance of a wedding?)

Dear Princers,

Tomorrow my best friend gets married. For the opening dance, he has chosen "Holy River", and now I'm looking for the best version ever recorded of this song (in excellent sound quality and another version than the cd version).

Any idea?

Regards,

Esteba,

you won't find a better sound version than the album version, make sure it's not the edit without the solo, that's like wtf?

cool

I was thinking the edit version would be better. I have DJed weddings for 20 years now and know the groom will NOT want to dance for 6 minutes lol

Making love and music are the only things worth fighting for.

The only other option (other than a live version) would be to go with that jazzy instrumental version that showed up on NPGMC back at the start of the 00's.

blah blah blah

LOL, there aren't many versions to choose from, are there?

I agree with the album version, and edit out the solo if that makes the bride and groom happy.

make sure it's the radio edit. it'll be awkward (and too long) for them to be slow dancing through that 2 minute guitar solo at the end.

also, that song is a bit of a downer for a first dance at a wedding, isn't it? i mean, in the end, the message is one of redemption, etc., but most of the song is about regret and misery.

Thanks for the Radio Edit advice! Maybe I'll make my own edit tonight if I find the time.

I told him the song is a downer, but they won't listen smile Fortunately, they're all Flemish, so people don't pay that much attention to the lyrics..

Allright, Plan D smile))

2 more hours left so plenty of time left to change plans smile)

it's their wedding, surely they have a song they'd like to dance to without the input of prince.org. if it's The Holy River, good for them

"Purple Rain" of course. Ideal slow start song.

He should go the JFK Jr. route and play the song "Forever in My Life". Now that's an awesome song for a "wedding". Either that or "I Like it There"

For my wedding, my wife and I would choose "The One".

But best left up to the couple. That's what I do when I deejay a wedding.

The first dance at my Wedding was to P's version of Betcha By Golly Wow, the lyrics are just right (although it's not his song) i love his version.

cool

I had 'Kiss' at my wedding, when we walked back up the aisle at the end of the ceremony. Supposed to be a bit funny, released all the tension and got everyone smiling and dancing & clapping. It was some good shit.
