SimonCharles	"What's the use of being young, if you ain't gonna get old..." ...Don't know why, but today that lyric didn't half make me feel all maudlin. Brilliant that these videos are appearing on the channel. I am intrigued as to what's going to come next.

dodger	The Gold video makes me smile every time when I see the sheer look of glee on the older guys face in the crowd as Prince starts the guitar solo.

Dimitri10	The performance of Gold in Budapest 2011 hits home, big screen behind Prince shows a girl in the audience crying. From memory an interview with Shelby after the show she said they all watched the performance later and all the band got very emotional. "Prince don't know how many hits he got"

I haven't seen that video in twenty years before its upload, and that guy's reaction is the first thing I thought of, He had a great time at the filming.

For an age, a friend of mine thought the lyric was, "Even at the centre of the fire, there is coal."

1000%. This is probably the thing I like the most about all of his video clips.
