There's a commercial to sit through and whatnot, but you can fast-forward to about the 38 minute mark to see the performance.

This is the Ol' Skool Company performance, btw.

Google is your friend ^^

3/25 link!

THAT IS AMAZING.

Cool, thanks for posting. I set my DVR to record this and I set it to stop recording before P came out.

It's kinda funny to see Halle and Prince together because his ex wife is now dating her ex husband..

That green outfit was FIERCE!!!

What will play tonight?

Thanks - yes, I had 3/26 in the subject at first. Corrected to 3/25 performance.

I was quite disappointed with that performance myself.

Reminded me a lot of his performance of "Come On" on Leno more than 10 years ago. It was just a party jam - fun!

Does anyone recognize any familiar faces in his band?

Thanks for posting the link... and it's nice to see it on youtube (enjoy it while you can I suppose)!

nailed it !, seems so effortless, love the AIG dig as well!.

Yeah I too was a bit disappointed in the performance myself. Or maybe it was just the song he chose. Maybe tonight will be better.

5 times i've seen this today....and it get's better with time.....

Damn the man's is Funky.....

Should get back to my work...

I can't watch the episode from aboard, any idea how can i get it?

I thought it was interesting to see Prince without his vauted heels. I've seen the pics of him in the airport, etc. without the heels, and sporting shoes resembling "house shoes" but I think last night was the first time I saw them in a performance.

Only problem with the performance was he was stuck in one place to long. But when he took off the shades and the crowd went nuts he got out there and worked the crowd like only P can! Solid performance - lovin the disco ball jellyfish!

OMG!!!!! Kenlecam, RU out of your mind??!!! That shit was Dope beyond belief!!!! To each his/her own, but for me, I was singing along with that shit the whole time. Usually a song has to grow on you before you start vibing to it. I was vibing to that shit within seconds into the first verse. Whooo-hoooo!!!! Bring on the funk baby...Bring that shit on!!!!!

thanks for the link

that was hot.....i wanna be in L.A.

correct me if I am wrong but did Prince include a little 2001/Chuck Brown style ending there? very nice

and that Harmonica was great!!

Loved the performance. Its great to see him doing some old school funk. Can't wait for the next 2 performances

Thanks for the link! Especially since we are from the stone age and I forgot to put a tape in the VCR after programming it to record!

IT wasnt really much of a SONG though, was it? Just a big spoonfull of funky JAM.
He probably wrote it in 15 minutes.

Doozer said:

That Come On performace was better than this one. It was not bad - nothing Prince does is - but I have seen much better from him. Perhaps time is finally catching up to him.

Doozer said:

Doozer, you are a prince. And if you are a girl, you are princess. I totally forgot all about this performance. Will he be on again tonight? And I missed Hally Berry!!!!

Me too. I dig the album version an awful lot, but that was not a great performance. I like what I've heard of Fredrick's work elsewhere, but I don't think Harmonica is the right choice for this track. I think Renato would have been a better addition.

On another note, I'm assuming the white girl is Elisa. Was she always round, or is that new? I've got the CD at home, but don't recall anything but a close up on the cover. I don't mean to offend anyway here, just wondering.

Wondering how the conversation went with Prince and Halle recognizing that both their ex's are now seeing each other. It's a coincedence that both of them are at top of their field. They'd make an interesting couple..hmmmmm?

Hey thanks for the link and post.....IMO, it was just ok.

What happend to his mind set of not repeating himself.I am tired of this long over play nod to the 'ol school....I get it, we all get it, its cool n all and give it much respect, but lets move on and do somethng else for a change.
