This has probably been discussed before, but I just saw the footage, and I have to say Prince pulling over that streetlamp prop as he leaves the stage is hilarious! Has P ever done anything as uncool as that before or since?!?

There should be a permanent sticky about this incident.
Glad you have finally saw it though.
I always laugh when i see JB carrying Prince jacket at the end of the footage, its kinda like "you going home now boy!!"

Don't abuse children or else they turn out like me.

Yeah, I like the Papa song too, lol.

MJ acted like he had somekind of crush on Prince. He was the one that whispered Prince's name into JB's ear like a school girl with a crush on the varsity quaterback (not that this portrays Prince accurately).

Prince's performance wasn't great, but it wasn't bad enough to dampen the performance overall. The vibe was upbeat (mostly due to JB and MJ). I was stunned at how great MJ's improvisation and voice is live.

It seems that at that age, Prince just didn't imrpovise well. He seemed more like an artist who had to rehearse the shit out of his performances.

James Brown was not very nice about Prince's performance that night, in some interview he dissed Prince and praised Michael, does anyone remember the quote? Something about how Michael studied James' dancing for years and Prince couldn't keep up...

That sounds like James ego talking. Prince did not need to keep up with James moves. Prince had a few of his own.

Graycap23 said:

Yeah. It was really sad though... James was truly Prince's hero. It must have been terrible for him to share a stage with James Brown at long last... and have to share it with teacher's pet Michael, then have James play favorites.

The best part of the clip is when P threw his glove out into the audience when he was being carried on Big Chick's back and the person that caught it threw it back at P.

Exactly! Prince did his thing, played guitar and then did his wicked screaming. So he knocked over a prop leaving the stage, he's human.

Thanks soooo much for the link, I know it wont' be there for long but it was
nice to see. CLASSIC!!!!!

Prince grabbing the pole and it falling and someone throwing back the glove was
a KodaK Moment indeed. To see the old Mike was sad to watch.

But to see all three on stage together was priceless.

Thanks again.

Man, that was some FUNNY SHIT! Wasn't P's night, but you've got to admire the sheer balls of the guy to step onto a forign turf and weird it up like that. Shambolic as it was I gotta say I'm impressed. I always loved it when P used to dance. Good to see some cool little moves in there, but to all the haters out there. Did Michael slam dunk that motherfucker or didn't he? Damn!

He wasn't drunk or high. Prince always acted like that on stage.

God made Creations, I Adore what God does.

PurpleCharm said:

You're welcome.

But honestly people, I don't know how you can believe he wasn't on something during this...ok ok...he wasn't high...he just had a case of the sniffles that night...I'm not even gonna pretend I didn't see that nose-wiping shit....stop making excuses and accept that fact that he...

COULD BE A CRACKHEAAAAAD!!!

FruitToAttractBears said:

He touched his hair alot...does that mean he had headlice? He also wiped his eyes..does that mean he was losing a contact leans? LOL. Prince always moved like that on stage when he performed, when he's geting to the music, etc. And I can tell it was hot on that stage.
