Erotic City: Better live, or album version?

Tough call for me. The album version is still scorching hot, but to hear the Revolution work through a dozen different live versions is positively lovely. This jam is the baddest weapon in the Prince arsenal. Which is your favorite?

I like both! Definately one of my favorite songs, but P does have a tendency to be better live than on record.

You´re right , but this one is such a famous club and mixtape classic that it definitely falls into the "studio=better" category for me, just like When Doves Cry.Great examples of the genius that Prince is when he locks himself up in the studio.
I like the live versions too though.

oh yes, yes yes.....this is one hot number. Rarely has our diminutive friend created such a raunchy, stirring, dance-inducing track. Either version would do music fans justice. But as an earlier post mentioned, hearing the Revolution work out to this tune is a real treat.

The album version no doubt. The Revolution really needed to jam this track live more than they did. headbang
