 tells off the audience for smoking. "Did U know that your hands can be your worst enemy? Put the cigarette down! I'm talkin' 2 U 2night because  can't sing, cause your hands have picked up a cigarette that's polluted all the air in this room!" (audience member: "FUCK YOU!") Now that I HAVE 2 hear!!!
My fave is the 1st Avenue rehearsal - 4 the August 83 benefit gig, where He starts singing all these old Dance Hall tunes like: 'I Could've Danced All Night...' in this really camp old woman's voice - it's hilarious!  | |

LovesexyIsThe1 said: "When The Saints Go Marching In" vocal rehearsal is the funniest and most candid moments of Prince, just being himself, that I've heard. Sounds like most of the '84 Revolution is present, but he names Matt, Wendy & Lisa. Here's most of the banter in between singing the song....
Prince: Alright, let's have vocal rehearsal first. Ready? Matt, Wendy... first, me and Matt, "When The Saints Go Marching In," ok? Did you warm your voice up before you came here? Sure you did, trust me, I'm a musician, aaahhhhh! Prince: (Prince recites the lyrics to them). If you want to hit a harmony it's fine with me. Prince: I can't hear ya. Matt (Dr. Fink): Cause I'm blending so well with you. Prince: Oh, I see. I understand. Matt: It's amazing Prince: (laughs) Good answer. Lisa you sing with me. Matt you stop... big white suit... Prince: You know that song? Wendy: No Prince: You'll learn it. You know who the Rolling Stones are? (laughs) Nope! Prince: Wendy... you gotta be kidding, come on. What are you funky or what? Come on, sing something, anything. Craig help me. What do you teach these people when they're away from here? What do you talk to them about? Come on sing, ready? Hum do anything. I got a deal that way, woman... I said "I don't know the words" they said HUM! (band laughs) You, sing something. You want this money? Prince: She said, you can come stay at my apartment. I'm 17, she's 36. Waaah! Sexy! Wendy: Oh my God! Prince: Sexy. Ready? Here we go... uuuunnnngh. Warmed up?... aaaAAAAHHHHH! Prince: Yes! Truly wonderful (starts imitating a preacher) Truly wonderful yes He is. We gonna take a offering pretty soon and we, and we want ya'll to dig deep! Cause you know what? We got a new wing we got to build on the back of my crib, see? And (band laughs) we want it to be nice don't we? Amen! I thought it was funny, just to hear him so relaxed and playful with the band. If you haven't heard it check it out... sounds funnier than it reads. I wish you guys would give specifics on which boots these are on. This sounds hilarious   I never met you, but I LOVE you & I will forever!! Thank you for being YOU - my little Princey, the best to EVER do it | |

On the London ONA boot during the acoustic guitar set. A guy in the crowd yells out "we love you Prince" and Prince stops and says "now that voice was just a little too deep... I'm all for love just like the next person, but you know..." Toejam @ Peach & Black Podcast: http://peachandblack.podbean.com

Not a humorous Prince moment, but I laughed when hearing the guy doing the recording for ONA in London going for a piss and then catching the tube home after the concert had ended!!!! [This message was edited Tue Aug 3 3:02:42 2004 by g3ajg] | |

This sounds hilarious I have this on one of the purple rush volumes. I think its like an add on disc called "Christmas in Uptown". It is quite funny and as Lovesexy said its nice to hear him so relaxed with the band. I'll leave graffiti where you've never been kissed | |

I would say the bootleg "Welcome 2 the Beatiful Experience"
& the NPG do a live rendition of Salt N Peppa's "None of Yo business".
And instead of "If I wanna date a guy...", sings "If I wanna eat a chicken, cuz it's finger licken...." Fucking hillarious. | |

As I mentioned in a previous post: Spookymuffin said: Heh heh, sounds great - which boot?
"I didn't get this off of any particular boot. Someone gave it to me on a cassette, along with outtakes in the late 80's, early 90's. Kinda surprised me to have just the one rehearsal song amongst them. I downloaded it through Napster a few years back." Lovesexy Funkateer | |
