I know this thread has been started before somewhere, but is there anyone out there who could kindly list the funky pre-aftershow tunes at Indigo2. I know "Atomic Dog" is my favourite (now I know where the lyrical influence for "La La La, He He Hee" came from).

Cheers in advance!

I remember a 13th Sept Indigo tune - I Got Ants In My Pants by Mr Jaaaaames
Brooooowwwwwn !!!

The music played on the 9th Sept and 21st Sept was mostly P-funk and Sly and the Family Stone.

I can't remember exactly what was played but I think I heard some of the following:

Parliament - "Mothership Connection (Star Child)" my tune

Funkadelic - "One Nation Under a Groove", "Cholly", "Standing on the Verge of Getting it On"

George Clinton - If you like "Atomic Dog", check out the album it's from "Computer Games" and I think tracks from "Hydraulic Funk" - "Hydraulic Pump", "Pumpin' it Up", "Generator Pop" - were played

Michael Jackson - "PYT"

I really recommend diggin' deeper into the P-Funk (Paliament/Funkadelic/Bootsy Collins/George Clinton etc) catalogue if you like "Atomic Dog", there is an absolute ton of mind altering, cosmic funk/funk rock there to be discovered and their influence is all over Prince's music - just listen to the beginning of "1999" and the beging of Funkadelic's "Electic Spanking of War Babies"

I've put together a CD to conjure up those Indigo emotions. Not necessarily all pre-show tunes but ones that are memorable from the Indogo for various reasons.

Rock Steady - Aretha Franklin
More Bounce To The Ounce - Zapp & Roger
Atomic Dog - George Clinton
Superstition - Stevie Wonder
Sing A Simple Song - Sly & The Family Stone.
Pass The Peas - The J.B's
Dance Floor (Part I) - Zapp & Roger
Thankufalettinmebemicelfagin - Sly & The Family Stone.
DMSR - Well, I had to have him there somewhere and this just fits so well.
Higher Ground - Stevie Wonder

On the 21st the DJ played P's version of 'Everyday Is A Winding Road' which was a real treat as I was not a fan when Rave came out, but I listening to it with fresh (and drunk) ears made it sound GOOD!

Also Chaka's 'Whatcha Gonna Do For Me' was played

one of the tracks from the 'motor booty affair' album by parliament was played...i can't remember the track tough!

it's the one that goes 'living, and jiving, and digging the skin he's in'

i think it's Rumpofsteelskin

it's a good album, worth a purchase!

Rumpofsteelskin - Parliament Funkadelic
Bop-Gun - Parliament Funkadelic
Agony of Defeet - Parliament Funkadelic
Funkentelechy - Parliament Funkadelic
The Motor-Booty Affair - Parliament Funkadelic

cheers for confirming! my place is a mess at the moment, it would've taken me ages to find the album, and it was starting to bug me as to which track it was!

I started the original post on this subject. http://prince.org/msg/12/242968

Check it out, some stuff listed that was not mentioned on here!

& my current favorite track... Thru the Grapevine - Zapp & Roger version!!

There was a killer remix of Sexy MF played the night I went (Aug 4). It wasn't the one from '92, so I presume its an unreleased / specially prepared version?
