One of my all time favourites. The opening is amazing, especially when that drum kicks in.

Is this a gem that he never sang live?

I have it on the Funky Party live boot (8.25.86) and the 17 Days Live boot from 1984 (but I think that was actually rehearsals.

Yes,he has performed this live. Louisville at The Gardenaround 96 or 97 (can't remember which);it was my first Prince concert and I was excited beyond belief. I'm standing there (general admission) and he starts to play this song I didn't immediately recognize. Sure'nuff...it was 17 Days. I can remember thinking I would never hear it live and see Prince perform it...until that moment!

Yeah, during the Purple rain tour, on a few dates, they used to open up the show playing this song behind a curtain. Then, they would launch into the normal opener, "Let's Go Crazy".
