Songs cut so short it's painful

I was just watching the Parade tour from '86 in Detroit, and you know that part where they finish singing him happy birthday, then the band goes into a wicked sounding version of Lady Cab Driver, then it stops abruptly and goes into Automatic.

when I first saw it I was like nooooo!!!! I want more!!!!

lol

have you guys had that experience?

Comeback - a beautiful, heartfelt song, but oh so short. It is quite possibly my favourite 90s Prince song.

Life Can Be So Nice kinda gets cut off mid-flow, suppose that's the whole point really though. lol

Most of the piano medleys from pretty much every tour contain parts that I wished he'd play a little longer...he's a master at that; teasing you with snippets from songs, manipulating the crowd and leaving you wanting more. tease

Wow is this spooky eek

I was watching it last night and I was thinking the same...I did like that part when he said "How much is that doggy in the window and then broke into that little dance and then AUTOMATIC started. His shows are great...I need to see the whole thing. How is it?

Totally agree. The song'd be a classic if it just lasted longer.

What about what Warner Brothers did, when they decided 2 cut songs like "Adore" short, among several others on 'The Hits'??

Since none of Prince's classic albums have been properly remastered 4 CD, these shortened bastardized versions of his songs R the only versions known 2 anyone who doesn't have the albums.

Damn straight I never bought "The Hits".

Perhaps it is short for a reason? You know...kinda like life?
