come on people , got to hear some shout outs
for prince playing automatic at his detroit show
coolest thing i ever seen
went like this :prince fiddled with his purple acustic
and hit on a little tune and started singing automatic
then stopped and said "yeah out of nowhere
how cool is that for all his fans of the hardcore stuff

I am surprised he did not pull more like that one out in the accoustic set. Not sure why it was the same even the jokes.

I'm sooooo jealous. If I'd have known he'd do Automatic, I would have flown in especially to hear it. Lucky, lucky people!!!

It lasted about 5 seconds.

of course. he's like that...

In the NY show at Nassau Coliseum(long island) he did DOES NOT COMPUTE and that really blew me away. I would love to hear AUTOMATIC in concert.

He did actually. I went 2 a bunch of different shows and he always pulled out random stuff 4 the acoustic set. There were mainstays like 'Cream' and 'Little Red Corvette' but on certain shows, he also threw in 'Rasberry Beret', 'Sometimes It Snows In April', 'Something In The Water (Does Not Compute)', 'The Most Beautiful Girl In The World', 'Forever In My Life', 'Automatic', and several different cover snippets.

It would have been a dream come true to see him do The Most Beautiful Girl... at DC!
