4:33 - Let's Go Crazy

That's the point when it goes from being a fantastic pop anthem, to being the shit-hot, pull your pants down, white knuckle ride of your life.

Can anyone relate to how nuts I went when I saw(heard) the different, longer version of this song. AAAAAHHHHH!!! I literally grabbed my best friend at the first showing of Purple Rain and said. "Um, okay, what is this. I don't have this version! I need this version, now!" Hyperventilation ensued.

The shiznit!!!!!

I'm not going to say it was the song that turned me into a fan, but it is one that helped solidify me as obsessed!. I remember watching the Purple Rain video for the first time and thinking "damn, that's a cool section of the song - why didn't they release that on the album?". Then the next day I went out and found a copy of the 12" and the rest is history!

This is the one. I had never really seen him perform before, other than the 1999 & LRC videos.

When Prince hit the big screen with this gem, he made a believer out of me.

Agree. Agree. Agree. The 12" LGC is the perfect rock song.
If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot.

Does anyone else here that part on the 12" where he says "there's something else" In the background you hear an electronic voice that I think says "records". Anybody else hear it?

I remember when I first saw the movie and heard that part of the song. I couldn't wait for the 12 Inch to come out.

he's written technically better, more musically sophisticated songs...but nothing will ever quite compare with the soaraway power of Let's Go Crazy...not only my all-time favourite Prince song, but my fav song of all-time by any artist...

just remarkable... thumbs up!
