THE INFAMOUS PRINCE / TERENCE TRENT D'ARBY PERFORMANCE



For years now a story has floated about of a rare and
extremely exclusive performance that took place at Prince's
Paisley Park Studios in Chanhassen, Minnesota just outside
of Minneapolis. I asked a friend online that had been
lingering about in Prince's inner sanctum while employed
at his N.P.G. shop (boutique) in MPLS around this time...
and he agreed to give me his account of what occurred that
night. Finally, I present to you the first-hand account of
the events during the now infamous early morning jam:



Um lemme see here...I got into the party after the Diamonds
& Pearls show at Glam Slam...I saw Carmen [Electra] for the
first time there and LOVED her...Until she started doing
those WAY over dramatic "hip hop" stupid dances she does..



Anyway.. I was hangin' out and Prince is there and I'm
expecting that, so I'm cool...But then...I turn and WHAM!
TTD is standing RIGHT THERE!!!! Not saying a word to anyone
if I remember correctly...He stays there for the rest of
the time and then a bit later Prince starts playing in
Studio C...I go in, and I see TTD after a little while come
up and snag a guitar...Strums some sour notes, and P looks
at him like "GET OUT!!!!" TTD looks at P and just like a
child kinda puts his head down and walks through a door
behind them...The band played on the floor in Studio C
which is actually like a VERY, VERY small rehearsal studio
with mirrors all around the walls...I believe the door leads
to the hall outside in Studio B...



That was the last I saw of TTD until he played First Avenue
[night club] in 1995 (I think it was)...P had a special
Love 4 One Another show after the gig and TTD didn't show
up 'till the show ended...We all had to wait and stand
still while TTD walked up the stairs with his band...Never
said 'hi' or anything to the people who were giving him
props for the show that night...
