I know I'll get yelled at to use the search but its hard to narrow down. I'm new to using a Mac and I can't figure out how to download the videos. If I left click or right click it just opens up in safari. If someone could help me, it would be greatly appreciated.

"control" key + click the download link, it opens a menu, highlight "Download Linked File" and click again, look for it in your "Downloads" folder in your dock.

I love this song....any which way. I love this vid, glad I bought it.

I'd purchase the video if it were in color and his backing band could conjure the more aggressive, hard rock side of the song. It's an uninspiring performance.

This is the only positive thing about Bambi being put up for sale. Dare I say I even hope he puts up some of those older things like C&E, Rich Friends and Hot Summer up in pristine quality? Purple & Gold would give me pause, however. Turn Me Loose would make me lose my shit!

Turn Me Loose...

I'd buy that in a heartbeat!

The thought of paying 4 a cover song of Prince covering himself has ZERO appeal.

What else u have?

huh? wouldn't Prince performing any of his songs be Prince performing a Prince cover?

yeah, i think i'll pass on this one.

the only good thing about this video being posted, to me, is that it might

be a sign that they will put everything we've seen on the 3rdeyegirl tube

being offered in the store now.

a good quality version of "same page, different book" would be great.

i'd even buy the "laydown" extended version if the sound was good and

the format was once again wav.

oh hell yes!

and indeed, it would be very nice to have complete and good quality versions

of 'cause and effect', 'rich friends' and even 'hot summer'.

3rd Eye Girl is a new group aren't they? Featuring Prince.

I guess so...but he's in the front....seems more like Prince, featuring 3rd eye girl to me.

I can!

:p

i didn't know it was released in full on youtube (only saw the preview). so i bought it and really enjoyed it - bit short in length though. thought the audoio was great, I could hear all the separate instruments clearly and it is only a rehearsal afterall.

It's nice to have a higher quality version of this song! I've been busting the heck out of Bambi recently, it's nice to know he still performs it still.

It's a pretty slamming version, as you can see in the video; Prince's vocals are as sharp as ever. Donna is so great on guitar. I love seeing her face! Haha

The stand out to me, is when you see his fingertips playing the guitar in the breakdown! He plays it with easy! Cool to see! Also when he says "It's SO hard 2 believe, Maybe it's because ur so young..Who's to say..maybe..Maybe...MAYBE ur'e really having FUN!" I love how he screams the fun line! Haha

Nevertheless cool song! I wonder if they rehearsed "Endorphinmachine" NOW I would die to get that!

Is everyone getting these reported audio problems?

After wasting my money on the live Screwdriver video where it sounds like my left speaker is blown out due to the constant rattling, I'm not willing to find out. That live version is really pretty amazing, but the sound quality is abysmal.

The 2 versions of Bambi played at The Dakota were worth the $277 each ticket cost. At the late set Prince stepped up to the mic and said, "I'm going to play another ballad" and then proceeded to tear the roof off with that monster guitar riff. People are complaining about paying less than $2 to hear this ?????

Hold on, are you seriously saying you can't hear the crackling on the left side? What are you listening on?

I don't want to point it out if you can't hear it, because once heard because it cannot be unheard. For anyone that heard the crackling before on the youtube version or screwdriver live you'll definitely hear it here too.

I'm not complaining about the price, the money means nothing to me. The problem is the terrible recording of an awesome song. I'd gladly pay to hear him tear the roof off with this in a live setting and this performance is pretty good. But when one channel of the audio is spoilt by horrible crackles it kind of dents the experience.

As I said before, Prince's fantastic music deserves better and the only way we'll get it is if we let them know how we feel.

I and a few others complained quite heavily about the quality of the early 3rd eye mp3's and now we're getting lossless wavs. People told us to shut up, take it to another thread and said we should be gratefull for our $0.88 offerings. It's interesting that there's nobody moaning now and asking for the low quality mp3's to return! If a similar improvement happens in the quality od the audio in their video files it is worth it. I can't believe people are happy with substandard offerings regardless of the price.

If this problem is on the master recording, then I'd rather have this than nothing but 3rd eye should let us know. Just a little note before you buy saying about the audio gltiches and an apology would go a long way.

Rokin song. Rokin vid. Prince rocks.

c) the audio bitrate is slightly worse than what I had before

That's odd, what did you have before? The one I got from 3rd eye's youtube is slightly lower than the new one.

I really think this whole 3rdeyegirl.com is a dry run to test all the glitches for a bigger site so I agree with you that if something isn't right or we need something more from it then let them know.

They are starting to do Zip files it would be no effort for them at all to add a text file with a blurb with details about the track, Date Recorded, Who Plays on it or even a creative blurb like Crystal Ball. Or even cover art

But yeah if it's the source recording which is the problem (which it might be as it's a rehearsal/live performance) then a text document or note on the product listing would go a long way

I had the 'leak' from 3rdeyegirl before that persona was 101% mr Prince.
I used mplayer to show me the bitrates.

TheEnglishGent we did not "complain", we "insistently suggested in no uncertain terms" that the quality of the product was important.

I really liked this version of the song as well as Screwdriver Live, video was not important to me for either, but if video is the only format available I do agree that the audio track should be at the highest quality. I strongly urge anyone that has similar thoughts to leave a polite comment with this suggestion at http://www.drfunkenberry....cast-more/

No worries, I don't feel mislead

Does anybody remember when the NPGMC sold The Beautiful Experience TV special on video? It was a recording from Japanese TV,

When and where did that happen? I don' recall the Beautiful Experience ever being sold. Tell me more...

I don't remember the exact date, sometime in 2001 iirc. I don't think it was on sale for long and the VHS tape appeared to be a recording from the Japanese TV broadcast, including subtitles!
