Prince's "Crazy You"--Is there an extended edition?

Believe it or not, even though I'm a long time Prince fan, I just heard this song for the first time tonight when I was sent a copy of his first album. The song is much too short IMO. I was wondering if there is an extended version in circulation? I really dig this song from his first album and wish it was longer. Did he ever play it live? If so, what concert and what year? Thanks for any information. wink

that info is faulty

it was played live at Sam's in Minneapolis on march 9 , 1981

(way different than on the album ; with drums and synths)

Thanks - but the praise rightly should go to a few key others who have been working tirelessly to build the site.

Hell yeah. You and me both! That's the one I always listen to. Almost never the studio version.

Wow I always knew he played it live once but didnt know where and when..Would love to hear that. Or Prince play the song live now. Wish Prince would play and embrace more of his other ballads from other less apprecaited albums and not the SAME Ol stuff he's been playin for years.

Some people think I'm kinda cute
But that don't compute when it comes 2 Y-O-U.

I remember reading something about a fan requesting it at a soundcheck or something and Prince saying "I don't remember how to play it," or something along those lines.
