When Doves Cry Live?

How come Prince never performs When Doves Cry live?

huh?

you mean, why does he always seem to use a backing track?

because he performs it live quite often.

Prince always plays When Doves Cry. In Syracuse '85, in the Nude Tour and in the Musicology Tour Prince performed it When Doves Cry.
Some people think I'm kinda cute
But that don't compute when it comes 2 Y-O-U.

You may not agree with me here P.orgers,the best When Doves Cry live versions are from the Sign O the Times tour.Very funky with the synthesized dog barks near the end.I think that should have been in the Sign O The Times film.

- Hmm...I dont know this version, but IMO the Nude tour Japan is the only live version I liked (with the heavy bass and great piano solo)

It depends which version of Lovesexy you have.

I've got two different ones. I don't know if there are any more or different variations.

Ones is a PG. And ones 15.

I know one of them doesn't have When Doves Cry. But the other does.
Shut up already, damn.

That's the same show.
The Lovesexy show was performed in 2 halves, with an intermission inbetween.
For some strange reason the 2 officially released videos are numbered the
wrong way round. "Lovesexy Live 1" is actually the 2nd half of the show and
"Lovesexy Live 2" is the first half.

Just who made up that expression "My Bad"? It's not english. Another one that annoys me is when your food attendents say "you guys set"

"Like, Whatever man".

How would you like it if we started saying red ketchup and blue dinosaurs in the middle of every sentence?

Before anyone responds I'd like to sincerly apologise for any racist tendencies I may have encouraged.

In the African America/black community it was "my bag" which was a way of saying sorry for making an incorrect judgment. "My bad" is also synonymous with saying "sorry" without saying sorry. So EFS was apologizing.
Now back tp prince
