Your favorite humorous Prince moments on bootleg? Here are a few of mine, in chronological order: (The entire beginning of "Come")-at the DNA Club on April 12th, 1993 (Getting the crowd to spell out the title of the song, then asking them what it spells... you can hear him about ready to crack up at the crowd's reaction. Even Sonny's like... "Damn!"  ) Hands down the best version of "Come" available. (Live or in studio.)
"The hills are alive... with the sound of mucus"-during "America/Gett Off" at the Rex Club on September 1st, 1993 "Zeke, man I'm bad but you keep messing me up man! He don't want me to whip his hero-he don't want me to whip his hero Eric Clapton. But I'm gonna get in that ASS. I'm gonna get in that ass... I can't take care of business for getting in that ass. That's cool. I'm calling n*ggers names out, break it down! Eric's my boy, but you know what? Eric's my boy, but I'm gonna get in that ass..."-during "I'm In The Mood" at Stars & Bars on May 4th, 1994 (This bootleg should've been called "Gonna get in that ass" for all of the references before and after this... )
"L.A.! Break that shit back. Now wait a minute, wait a minute... We're gonna have to make it a little more elementary. I forgot we ain't in Minneapolis. (Nasty crowd reaction) Aww my ass! Then clap shit! Then clap that shit!"-during "Get Wild" at Glam Slam West on June 26th, 1994 (Prince proceeds to school L.A. on how to clap... lol) Other classic moments during this set is the idiot next to the person recording who can't help but scream out the wrong song titles, such as when "Dark" starts playing and the fanatic screams out "Oh shit, Purple Rain!"... and the other idiots who spend about 8 songs trying to figure out if someone across the club is Arsenio Hall or not...
"Doug, where you at?!! Dirty in the house!!!"-during "The Ride" at the Emporium on March 22nd, 1995 (About midway through the song after multiple requests... Prince loses it... Doug finally turns the dirty up about 4 minutes after P first requested it... )
"Doug, turn my dirty up!"-during "Funky" at the Paradiso on March 25th, 1995 (After multiple requests, P screams at Doug.) "What would I do without you? Masturbate!"-following "The Ride" at Paisley on September 16th, 1995 (Spoken to someone in the audience) | |

"Anna Stesia" @ Lisbon Aftershow, December 15th 1998 --
 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!") | |

Club Vega. Somebody takes his picture during 'The One', Prince nearly takes his bat and ball home, advising the audience he has a nice comfy Hotel bed waiting for him and the next person that takes a photo, the person next to him should twist his neck! |

COLD SHIT!! Prince is a cool cat. 
This is what he says: (w/slow, smooth Anna Stesia-based funk in the background) "Gee.... did U ever contemplate ur hands? Did U know that ur hands can b ur worst enemy? When U go 2 reach for that sixth donut, who gives it 2 u? Ur hands. When U 2 go to reach for that cigarette who gives it 2 u? Ur hands. The person that wants U dead is killing U with ur own hands. Can U hear me tonight. (crowd begins clapping to beat) Now isn't that a much better sound when U put ur hands 2gether? Listen 2 me 2night When a baby is born, they cover their hands So they don't scratch their eyes out. Tryin' 2 stop the baby From seein' their hands know U can't feel me 2night
'm gonna talk 2 U cause can't sing
Bcause your hands have picked up a cigarette That's polluted all the air in this room ("Fuck you!") U can't feel me 2night U want me 2 die with U ("Yeah! Woo!") No, no, no, no, no U want me 2 die with U ("Yeah!") By your hands can't do it
Put the cigarette down Love is God, God is Love, Girls and Boys Love God above Can U sing that? Crowd: Love is God... Now ain't that much better than smokin' a cigarette 2night? ("No way!") Not 4 him Puff away U ain't goin' with us C'mon, go with us Clap ur hands, c'mon U can't clap ur hands if U're smoking We wanna see U live, we don't wanna see U die U ain't gettin' none'a that money from that cigarette Put it down! U just sendin' somebody else's kids thru college! What's wrong with U? C'mon! Love is God... I must say, it makes for eight minutes of dramatic, absorbing listening. One of the most interesting moments I've heard on a bootleg. | |

"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. Lovesexy Funkateer | |

I like it on ONA Rotterdam when, half way thru Housequake/1+1+1=3 Prince just cuts the music and puts on a semi-cloreen voice and says stuff like "Whatchoo tryna do sittin around tellin me what to do when you should be openin up a book..." | |

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. Let em know if you have AIM. Lovesexy Funkateer | |

Paris, France...singing it all wierd and getting the band to sing it the same! One of mine is The Avenue Reghersals (surprised no one mentioned this) Int he beginning Lisa's complaining about the sound on her keyboard and he tells wendy to wake up as she missed her cue. Later they are just jamming and I think Lisa becomes Olive Oil and I think Prince becomes Popeye...also snippets of Wizard of Oz cracks...They do a really funny version of Our House by Madhouse. Another is watching the DVD to Atlanta 95 Show. Baby I'm a Star is not only funny ("You want some more? Are you absolutely postively sure this time...Good God" but is one of the best performances of that song. Spanish Harem...The audience is so stoked on the concert...during ALphabet st, he cuts out and the audience keeps on singing for a while..and he's like alright I get it already! And the Accoustic Xenophobia show during Girls and Boys "Cutest Ass he'd ever seen" He sings all but "ass" and lets the audience sing it instead. Some in the audience get the no profanity thing and laugh. Christian Zombie Vampires | |
