Wasted Kisses. 3121 aftershow, the Friday after the Super Bowl.

nice!! would love to see that

maybe Prince should just do a tour where he plays rare stuff only

he could call it the "Rare Stuff Only Tour"

fuck the hits

Me when he played it -->

It was pretty funny, though. After trying to get people to sing along (and failing), he said, "Y'all ain't even tryin' to sing" and gave up. I was in the front row, singing at the top of my lungs, but I think a lot of people didn't even know the song.

but i don't remember him playing after amel larraux. we always were first in last out. but then the cellys all tended to blend into one. was the post amel show on a boot?

No recording.

I know it's not especially rare any more, but I was thrilled when I first heard him play Empty Room.

In fact that set list was pretty cool:

The Ladder then Empty Room. And then - having said "There ain't going to be no Purple Rain in this house tonight" or something, he ended with Purple Rain.

Amazing show.

So I guess "The Ball" was probably the only song that I saw live that was only played one single time by him AFAIK

Yeah it was at Club Nokia in 09. I think that was the 1st public performance. I lost my cool cool when I heard it. I'd say 20 of us probably recognized it too. Great moment capping an amazing LA3 experience.

It Is No Secret What God Can Do - 1988 Lovesexy Tour, Charlotte NC 1988

'Papa' was performed, eh Wayney? I'd kill to hear that one live. That's extremely rare.

I saw the aftershow at the Cabaret Metro in Chicago on the Act I tour. Prince had one of the roadies bring out his purple notebook. He had just written Papa and didn't know all of the lyrics from memory and he held it and did the song. He also did Sacrifice of Victor, Come, Goldnigga, Black M.F. In The House, Call The Law, and Johnny, among others, but those were all pretty rare.

'Purple music' at the new morning 2010

and a few others quoted before

Man! 'Come' and 'Johnny'? I've missed out on a lot of good Prince shows. Here's hoping he comes to the Mid-South in the near future.
