Wait. Is Girl on Monteux 2009? I have that dvd but never really watched it yet.

How is that possible? Girl isn't on it but it's such an amazing performance.

And yes Montreux 09, and any 3121 is amazing.

This was a very cool performance. But so was the entire show (especially night 2). Let's talk about the whole gig and some amazing guitar performances, especially on Joy in Repetition and The Love We Make.

All of the North Sea shows that year were incredible. The chemistry between Prince and Miss Andy was off the charts. He opened at least one of the shows serenading her with "Joy in Repetition." He seemed to be such a romantic.

Indeed, they are amazing, but this thread is about "Girl" and the 2011 North Sea Jazz Festival show(s).

Perhaps, if you were nicer, ACharmed1, there would be more people responding on your threads. A little kindness goes a long way. Try it sometimes.

The first show opened with Andy and Ida doing Foxy Lady which, as far as I know, was the only time that song was ever performed. The first night had a lot of sound problems and was a bit...strange... The second night opened with Joy In Repetition.

Ah, thanks for the clarification. It was a recording of the entire second night that I saw awhile back.

I think most of P's shows were professionally shot. His estate needs to do whatever it takes in order to start releasing his unreleased stuff.

One of my favourite Prince tracks – strange, experimental, hypnotic, obsessive.

NorthC said:

Oh and don't forget Maceo Parker's contributions to these gigs! Groove, Maceo!

Yes!!! Every time I see the two of them onstage, I can't help marveling that Mr. Parker outlived Prince. Am I the only one? Life is so unpredictable...

I LOVE it, too, fen. Prince said in "Satisfied" that "foreplay begins in the mind." Lawd, knows he had it down to a science. Mercy...

No, you're not. Sly Stone outlived Prince... Who'd have thought that?!

Exactly.

.

I'm not sure which date, but this was shot at the North Sea Jazz Festival in 2011. Prince would caress Andy's face during "Take Me With U." BTW: I his shirt that she was wearing.

Shelby could really belt it out. Amazing voice. And Rhonda's bass during Stratus/All Shook Up is amazing.

Yaaas! On both acounts. Love them both but, Rhonda doesn't get enuff love IMO.

Andy on the other hand is getting way 2 much credit. I was under the impression this was a PRINCE site. Happy trails 2 all on this thread but I'm out. I can't take anymore threads dedicted 2 Andy under the guise of P. My boycot starts now.

According to Prince Vault, NorthC, he performed the Jimi Hendrix cover, "Foxy Lady, twice: April 9, 2008 at the Green Door in Hollywood, CA and July 9, 2011 at the North Sea Jazz Festival.

That was the night Andy came on stage in Prince's suit and light up shoes trying to trick the audience that she was Prince.In the performance she tries to emulate Betty Davis whom Prince was teaching her about.It was a fun,playful performance with Prince backing her on vocals and guitar.

"We never played this before, but for you..."

This is how Prince introduced his jazzy 1985 sleeper, "Girl." After a few bars, he says, "Now watch. This is what happens in rehearsal." He then proceeds to walk the NPG ("Cassie," "Morris," etc.) through a brief practice session for a couple minutes.

Finally, P says, "Yeah! I love it! What y'all think?"

As the crowd roared with approval, he crooned the first words of the sexy ditty.

Girl
You excite me so
Ooh-ee baby, your body's like no other

.

Girl
It's you I gotta know (gotta know)
Ooh-ee baby, I bet you're quite a lover

.

Girl (ooh, girl)
I want to take you home
Ooh-ee baby you dreamy, I scream inside you

.

I want you in the worst way, you make me...

(At some point Andy Allo emerges from the shadows of the darkened stage. For her verses, "Girl" is changed to "Boy" and "I'm your man" is changed to "You're my man.")

[Andy interjects the next lines of the shared verse.]

Ooh-ee baby, I think you desire me (ooh-ee baby, I think you desire me)

Possibly [jokes Prince]

Girl
Make a wish, baby (make a wish, baby)

Anything (anything)
We'll make it come true (come true, come true)

Me and you (me and you)
I want you
In the worst way, you make me

Maceo!!

Now, THIS was a steamy duet. Note to Prince's estate: PLEASE RELEASE THE 2011 NORTH SEA JAZZ FESTIVAL SHOWS!!!!

[Edited 2/5/17 14:33pm]

I totally agree. The 2011 NSJ shows are amazing. On night 2, he did an INCREDIBLE performance of "The Love We Make." Andy was performing with him. His guitar solo is one for the ages.

Andy's flirtatious, coy look matches the song. This "girl" and "boy" were having quite the time.
