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): - 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 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 | |
