Does he play "Little Red Corvette" often?

Has he been playing "Little Red Corvette" often on this tour or no? That's one of my favorites and I sure hope if he does a Chicago show that he plays it. lol

Little Red Corvette has generally been ignored in a hit Vs Played tour song in the past 25 years.

If the version he is doing this week it the same as the slowed down version that he did last year in Europe, then its the highlight of the show. A Gem. Best version I have witnessed in those 25 years.

Great arrangement with this song! I'm over the hits, but i love his compromise. Sure, i'll play LRC, but I'll change it so I can enjoy it too!

So the new arrangement is amazing??? Wow, I wish I could hear it! Does it still have the synths in the new arrangement, because the synths are what make the song IMO. I sure hope if he does a Chicago show that he performs Little Red Corvette!

Knock yourself out

And yes it's a brilliant song in this and any other arrangement.

Hope he comes your way.

I've heard he likes to pick up his guitar and strum this song at about 11am os sometimes at teatime.

So, yes, I suppose that would mean quite often.

He played it regualy between 1997/1998. then again in 2000/1.

After that it would only be acoustic on on the piano, like in 2004 and 2007. However in 2008 after a 7 year gap he suddenly did it full with the band. Kinda cool arrangement, only done once with that lineup.

Then in 2009 with John, Rhonda and REnato he arranged a new version which he has played regualy ever since.

At the January 18 concert at Madison Square Garden he didn't play it. When I went to the February 7 concert however, he did play a nice extended version of it.

First concert: January 18, 2011 & then February 7, 2011 at MSG. Best concerts of my life.

Awesome huh? I was blown away by it.

I've re-discovered the hits after the concert by listening to all the extended/remix tracks. It's been a long time and they are FUNKY!!!!!

Coachella 2008 was the best version EVER. I watch that performance video almost every day, it's that good.

I had never seen him play Little Red Corvette since the Purple Rain Tour. Until Coachella where he revived a very similar arrangement which knocked my socks off. It's such a great song. Especially when he extends it. Since Coachella, it seems like he's been playing it more often. I'm glad I got to see it on the Thursday show of the Oakland run.
