James Brown concert but Prince edited out

Just watched the infamous concert from 1983 called 'James Brown and BB King - Legends in Concert' on Lovefilm. Interestingly, the MJ mini-performance is still there but the Prince segment has been edited out! Was it that bad or did Prince and /or his management request that it be deleted?

My mom has the B.B./James concert on videocassette and bought it at the time it was released. I wasn't aware Prince had anyting to do with it until Youtube.

You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton

I read a long time ago that James hated what Prince did, and pretty much didn't like Prince in general, so James' people removed that part from the concert.

That's obviously the original footage, the way it happened. We all know the Prince part was photoshopped in there afterwards, as the three of them never shared a stage at the same time!

I know, right. I wish people would stop this JB, MJ, and Prince on same stage foolishness. It's Hey Hannigan-ish.

I know right? Look at the footage. It's very clearly a green screen and Prince was added in post- production.

The whole thing itself looks like an SNL or MAD TV skit.

It's a WTF moment for sure, glad it has been edited out. Not the way we'd want Prince represented, he's definitely had many better moments onstage. If he had killed it and it was edited out that would be different.

From the footage, it looks like Micheal told James to get Prince up and James didn't know who he was from a bar of soap. He came across (to me) like he was out of his element, like he just wanted to go see a god damm concert.

I think it's fair to Prince that it got edited out.

I think what hurt Prince was using someone else's guitar into a rig that wasn't his.... I've never known James Brown guitarists to have/use distortion...but, if Prince had access to a distortion pedal, he would have killed it. He wasn't working with much, I'm afraid. He did get to show off a little of his rhythm chops... but, as a fan, there's a feeling that a screaming solo would have bought the place down.

If memory serves correctly it was actually a left hander, in which case he did pretty damm well to get any sound at all.

I'm sorry for having to tell you, but everybody knows this video is obviously fake. The Prince part was photoshopped afterwards and it DID NOT happen. We have voted on this ages ago and people still seem to believe that this really happened. disbelief

I know right, what will it take to convince these guys? They probably think the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park are real too.

Have you ever worked in Photoshop??

You cant create such an effect of human presence, as in this video.

Look at the details .... During perfomanses James, MJ and Prince, the public, decorations, clothing, James and guests are absolutely identical. At 1:48, James calls Prince...MJ, and guests are behind him ...You can not create such an ideal mounting ...Sorry, but no one will convince me that this is a photoshop, because it is obvious that it is a reality. History does not change ...

You obviously don't know about the original Photoshop.

It's been well documented, this shit is fake and we all know it.

I guess "mask" missed the boat on this one. That footage has been around for years. I've seen it on this sight numerous times.

of course it's photoshop. they can do ANYTHING with photoshop these days

i just saw a movie and they put captain america, thor, and the incredible hulk all in the SAME MOVIE!

now if they can do that, they can obvioulsy add prince into a video with james brown and michael jackson. they could probably stick madonna in too, wearing a catsuit. plus a dude with a bow and arrow. it would probably look like utter shite though and no-one would believe it
