All time Prince Band Line up! You Pick em! Man, has Prince been through alot of musicians! Five Drummers, five Bassists, 5 guitarists, 7 or 8 keybordists, and who knows how many horn players, backup singers/dancers!
So who were the best? If you could assemble a band made up any Revolution or NPG alumni, who would you pick? Mine would go something like this. Drums - Sheila E Keybords - Dr Fink Keyboards/vocals - Rosie Gaines Bass - Levi Seacer Jr. Guitar - Rev Scott Tenor Sax - Eric Leads Bari Sax - Kathy Jenson Alto Sax - Maceo Parker Trumpet - Atlanta Bliss Oh yeah...and Prince! "We can play 4 days! If it get dry, gimme that mayonaise!" | |

Bass: I was going to pick Larry, but I didn't want hi singing or talking Prince into sticking a bunch of GCS stuff into the setlist. Plus, Levi can play all that Madhouse stuff!
Boards: Gotta have Fink! If for no other reason than to play the crap out of those solos on Head and When Doves Cry. I've heard that Hayes is good, but I haven't heard enough of him solo to pick him. Drums: This was a tougher call. Sheila is more versitile IMO. On the other hand, Mike's got that heavy foot and tends to be funkier. Tough call. "We can play 4 days!

Yes gotta have Johnny B'well bring the beat! Otherwise, the band he had on the Sign O' The Times tour was kicking asses and taking names. It's Gonna Be A Beautiful Night proved that oh and also Charlie Parker's Now Is The Time. | |
