Has anyone heard Prince do this song live? what does he do to it live? Can you describe the performance? I love this song but it seems less of a song and more of a spoken piece

didnt see this but i did see him play automatic in his accustic set in detroit
it looked like he filddled with his guitar and started playing, afterwords
he kind said under his breath "yeah outta nowhere"
that was worth the 97 dollars i spent

He does it live now and then, and he always changes the title. Last year at the gig I went to, one of the encores was "All The Critics Love U In Sydney".

It was recently released by the NPGMC under the name "all the critics love u in paris" (it was from the Bataclan show in Paris, 2002). It has a sort of ska beat, contains wonderful jazz-funk solos & it's GREAT though it has nothing 2 do with the "1999" version.

It's still on sale if u want it, coupled with a jam called "npg in this funky house", & 4 only 99 cents (77 cents if u r a npgmc member). u just have 2 have a credit card (or have a friend who has one) : www.npgmusicclub.com

I've heard him do it on several boots live.He first did it at First Ave before the 1999 album came out and he did it in Rotterdam and on the xenophobia boot.

All the critics love u in Melbourne
Prince changes the title to the city he is singing in.
At the melb. concert last year he told us all how to walk out of the concert during the "All the critics love u in .....", the moves were cool.
This song was great live, but so was the rest of the concert.
