During the "Nude"-Tour June - September 1990, Sonny T. wasn't yet in the band. Levi played bass, and Miko Weaver was the guitarist. I think Sonny joined in January 1991 (Rock in Rio), Levi switched to guitar then. I'm not sure if Fink was in the band after the Nude-Tour, maybe Barbarella joined since Rio?

For 1992 my programme says:

Prince - whatever
Levi Seacer Jr. - guitar
Sonny Thompson - bass
Rosie Gaines - keyboards, vocals
Tommy Barbarella - keyboards
Michael Bland - drums
Kirk Johnson - dancer/percussionist
Tony Mosley - dancer/rapper
Damon Dickson - dancer
Mayte Garcia - dancer
Mike Nelson - trombone
Brian Gallagher - tenor sax
Kathy Jensen - baritone sax
Dave Jensen - trumpet
Steve Strand - trumpet
William Graves - disc jockey

and for 1993, Act II (European tour):

prince - whatever
Levi Seacer Jr. - guitar
Sonny Thompson - bass
Morris Hayes - keyboards
Tommy Barbarella - keyboards
Michael Bland - drums
Mayte Garcia - dancer
Mike Nelson - trombone
Brian Gallagher - tenor sax
Kathy Jensen - baritone sax
Dave Jensen - trumpet
Steve Strand - trumpet

The N.P.G. - Gold Nigga - era opened the concerts with an extra set. In fact they consisted of the Game Boyz plus the above line-up, minus prince and Mayte.



sonny actually joined after the nude tour concluded in september of 1990 and fink left right after it. Tevin campbell had appeared on the arsenio hall show with the NPG and sonny was on it and fink was gone. Levi had jumped over 2 guitar and they were definitely in the band prior 2 the rio gigs in jan of 1991 since there is a tour rehearsal of the rio shows floating out there, with tommy b and sonny t in the npg[/quote]

thanks

the one thing i will say about this crew.. dunno where they were singing, a live show when Prince starts singing 'Shhh' .. man, the whole band tore that song up.. instruments, background singing n all .. was all that.. nod


when it comes 2 that song ..u need a strong drummer like michael b or john blackwell 2 pull it off, cora somehow doesn't "sound" that strong 2 pull it off and make u have chills up ur spine. just listen 2 the version on TGE and hear Micahel POUND that shit out


nod yes Michael B

I think so. We need some fact sheets here.

Mike Philly and Greg Boyer are gone from the Jay Leno lineup sad
Both very nice, friendly guys, talked to them in London last summer. I hope they'll be back.
