Is this different from the one off Crystal Ball?
Is it worth tracking down?

Totally different recording to the one on Crystal Ball.
It was recorded live in Montreal

Thanks Boris, I've added it to my wish list.

It's an interesting song. I've heard it both while watching 'Love 4 One Another' and 'The Beautiful Experience'.

So it's a live recording... that should be interesting. Crystal Ball's expensive, so I most likely won't pick that up for a while, but I've heard a few of the songs off it and like them. (Except 4 "Interactive"... :cough: )

There are 3 different versions of the Montreal 2002 version. There's the 1 track CD given away at the 2002 Celebration. It has no(?) overdubs (or very minimal) and also includes a "Soul Man" chant towards the end.

The single that was made available at NPGMC has many additional overdubs and lacks the "Soul Man" section. The 3rd version, which is also on this CD, is an edit of this version.

All entirely different to the Crystal Ball version, but all worth having, imo.

Love, love, love that song!

YAY...I was a blessed recipient to recieve the one Prince gave to the fams in the Xenophobia celebration in 2002. I have it..unscathed. It's been put away. :O)

The one on Crystal Ball is also a live version (though with some overdubs I think). The studio version has never been officially released although it is circulating as a bootleg.
