How good was Prince's cover of "I Believe In You" by Graham Central Station

I'm listening to the RELEASE YOURSELF album by Graham Central Station, and my favorite song from the record is "I Believe In You". Prince did a cover version of this song during the "Ultimate Live Experince" tour along with other GCS and Larry Graham tunes, but this particular version, Prince's vocal along with Morris Haye and Sonny T's background harmonies were so on point. Can anybody give me any information regarding that performance (concert date, times it was performed). But also it listening to that recording, made me realize how underutilized Prince has used male back-up singers for harmonies and singing ideas. When he had Kip Blackshire in his band it was interesting to see the point and counterpoint of their interaction with each other i.e. "Motherless Child" at Septimo.

man, he has such an amazing body of music that it's sad to see him constrict it down to the basics. he's too talented for the lineup he's doing. estelle 81

I can't remember which particular performance, but which one is the best out of them all: vocally, musically etc.?

It is not known why FuNkeNsteiN capitalizes his name as he does, though some speculate sunlight deficiency caused by the most pimpified white guy afro in Nordic history.
