After seeing the opening night Oakland show, I went to one of the Forum shows and noticed something I haven't seen discussed here. If it has been touched on, my apologies.

Before the Oakland W2A show, clips from Woodstock performances were shown on the big screens before the show. The Forum had a much different feed. Being the geek that I am, I took notes.

Here's what was played:

Popular - Taja Sevelle

Mia Bocca - Jill Jones

Go Go Dancer - Carmen Electra

Tweakin' - George Clinton

Koo Koo - Sheila E

Elephant Box - Ingrid Chavez

Crazay - Jesse Johnson

Dance Electric - Andre Cymone

Yo Mister - Patti LaBelle

Ice Cream Castles - The Time

Sugar Walls - Sheena Easton

13 - Madhouse

While I thought it was a very cool to show associated artists videos before the show, the selection was a little unusual. I'd never seen the video for Taja's Popular and I don't believe Prince actually wrote that one. Sure, she was on Paisley Park at the time, but it's an unusual choice. The next surprise for me was the video for Tweakin'. I had no idea this existed, and I've been a George Clinton fan for a little longer than I've been a Prince fan. It must have slipped under my radar.

Now, take a look at the videos listed above. Which one stands out to you as not fitting with the others?

Crazay. Prince had nothing to do with the track, and there seemed to be a beef between Prince and Jesse when it came out (the track Shockadelica, the sample of Crazay in the Mo' Quake mix).

Considering it was Jesse that got Sly to work with him and not Prince, it could be a case of Prince giving Jesse some respect after all these years. The song is still great and fit in very well with the others, and the video fit the Minneapolis style very well. Did anyone else notice this? What are your thoughts?
