i downloaded the performance that prince did with michael jackson and james brown where he tilted over the lampost and cried on stage when he played the guitar can anyone tell me where and when this happened

never happened -- they're impersonators

It was at a James Brown show in 1983. M.J was on stage w/ James Brown, and he noticed P in the crowd, so James called him up on stage. He came up riding on big chick's (his bodyguard's) back, he grabbed a guitar from the guitar player in JB's band, and played pretty badly for about 15-25 seconds, played with the microphone stand, squeaked, bowed, walked off the stage, and as he was going he grabbed onto the light and it fell down, he also left his jacket onstage. It was a really embarrassing performance for Prince, but Michael was also off, and James Brown's band wasn't doing very well either.

like i said, it never happened, okay?

Now be nice (as much as I want to forget it happened) you have to tell the truth. It isn't his fault that the search doesn't work.

September 1983 while in L.A. Prince attended a James Brown concert at the Beverly Theater in Beverly Hills. Prince was called on stage with Micheal Jackson by James Brown. Jackson was already on stage dancing with Mr. Brown. Prince played guitar and fell over on a prop on stage.

wow! really! i don't believe you!

Could this possibly be true? aren't prince and MJ mortal enemies?. this sure is big news! who'd have thought this could happen?

wow!

has anybody else heard of this?

Yeah, I've seen the performance.
I don't think Prince did all that well.
He seemed slightly uncomfortable on stage.
MJ actually did a much better performance, and appeared more the start. Prince almost looked like a novice up against these guys.

Before PRince rode in on Big Chick MJ whispered something in Jame's ear--I think it was that MJ was telling James to call Prince up, beucase imeediately after he did that James started calling for Prince.

Prince's guitar playing wasn't all that great, but it wasn't horrible. It fit the part for Jame's song. But Prince could have sung alot better--he just did some wierd squeeling or something like that.

Not my favorite performance.

it DID happen...a "friend" (NOT ME!) did a search on kazaa and found it..."he" (NOT ME) said its awsome, funny, AND sad at the same time!

i need to work on my sarcasm.

this has been posted about a kagillion times.

I dont see a picture, did U post one?

This happens occasionally. Sort of an appreciation/acknowledegment gesture.

Prince bringing Stevie Wonder on stage at Glam Slam LA, Trence Trent Darby gave props to Lenny Kravitz (who was there) at the World in NYC.

i just watched it and went to post on here but someone beat me to it, yeah definately not one of princes best performances, maybe he was drunk?? who knows

I've heard so much about this lovely meeting of the minds, but I've never seen it. Link anyone?

I don't know what Prince was drikning, but his lil' ass couldn't handle it all!!!

He does look a little "effected" in the performance. I think it's hellafunny myself.

Prince doesn't have that many off-days on stage so I think it's amusing to see one.

The incident happened in 83 and P. joined
the stage w/James - all I heard was
that Michael did a better showing
than P-

when he throws his wee lace glove into the crowd and they throw it back
now thats funny

It's always available on Kazaa. P did make a bit of a dick of himself, Michael just did the same dance move he always does before beating a hasty retreat - I think he was gone before P hit (sic) the stage.

Does any-1 have this vid??? I wanna c!

hello, I wanna CCCCCc also. pretty please. nagai43@hotmail.com thanks in advance

This is a common misapprehension.

He throws his wee lace glove to a minder who then quickly chucks it in the direction of Chick Huntsberry, who catches it.

What I find much funnier is the way James Brown hurries to Prince after he has left the stage, carrying P's jacket, as if saying: "Hey Prince, you forgot your s***! Come n' get it!"
