Okay so the Baby I'm A Star video / performance contained in the PR re-release has to be the absolute wickedest performances I've ever seen... Prince just cuts loose.

What show is that from?

And if I were going to track down a First Avenue performance which one should it be.

I love how when you look at everyone on that stage in that clip, there's not a single person not making the funk face...well, except for Lisa, and even she looks like she's gone too long without a cigarette!

so that's what that look was

Well what can I say, I have 2 agree!!!! Been a fan 4 20 odd years and watchin the MAN get down 2 the Funk just brought it all back..... the whole Revolution R on IT, talk about 1 Nation under 1 groove, I believe U C it on this performance absolutely blows U away, Man o man if \U could pin point what his hunger was in those days .. how much he wanted us 2 know what he had he played his hand on that performance. ABSOLUTELY FUCKIN MAGIC.

This is the performance that truly made me a fan. I was only 14 i saw this simulcast on MTV and I just went nuts. I love some of his music now and i saw the Musicology tour in Boston this past August. As good as the show was I still miss the energy from the eighties shows. I hope someday he goes all out like that one more time.

Okay so I think I got it.

He broke into that Miami Bass segment with Sheila E. and why on earth would he do this unless he was in Miami. I was in Jr. High then. Didn't make that Purple Bowl (Orange Bowl) show but the buzz lasted for weeks. My classmates were speechless

I love that performance too, theres so much energy you just gotta dance.

What I wouldnt have given to be that

Cyndi Lauper lookin girl with the tamborine

who was she anyway??

She was in Sheila's camp. I believe she was on the cover of Romance 1600 as well as in Sheila's Krush Groove performances. Can't remember if she was in the 1600 concert video.

Her and Eddie M were always hangin' tight. Maybe she was a horn player as well.

Thanks!
All I knew was that she was workin it out with that
tamborine and I wish I could have been her for just that moment

Her name is Susie Davis (singer/keyboardist) and she took part in the Family Jamm as part of Sheila's band last year.

WORD! I was starting to feel all bad for not knowing her name
Thanks. You saved me from breaking out the 1600 LP.

Yep, it's a great dance workout video that seems like it'll never end, but how about the "Take Me With U" video with that crazy guitar work!! Love it.
