Does anyone know if a video or dvd exists with the song "Just My Imagination" From Prince?
Thanks

No. He didn't write the song. It's an old Temptations cover - http://en.wikipedia.org/w..._with_Me). He played it live many times in the late 1980s, usually at aftershows. A snippet of one performance from the Camden Palace aftershow in 1988 was shown in the Omnibus/Prince Of Paisley Park documentary c.1991, but that's as close as you'll get to any kind of video.

Thanks for the reply. I do know who wrote the song but Prince played it incredibly live. Thats why I was hoping to find a video/or dvd of it live.
I have several versions of that live song by prince on cds though.

Apparently Yes.

Footage from an aftershow on the lovesexy tour is out there on dvd. Getting it's the hard part.

just the end of it though . not to mention, the bits and pieces of rehearsal and live takes from that the prince of paisley park documentary

oh yeah and dig the site rules :

ABSOLUTELY NO SOLICITING FOR BOOTLEGS.You want to discuss them? That's fine - but NO OFFERS TO COPY, NO REQUESTS TO COPY, NO "WHERE CAN I GET", etc. NO POSTING OF LINKS TO THESE SITES EITHER. Please be aware that the moderators here strictly enforce this rule

i really want to brush his hair and make a ponytail.

Relax DUDE!!! Just dicussing. What a trip this place is. Think I will find another site that isn't so incredibly worried about every little thing!!!

If you wanna kick me off for dicussing a live video/dvd from Prince be my guest!'
Might be better anyway so you won't have to stress for a while....thoughts?

So what do these moderators do? Are they patrolling this site like a cop with no life? Thats pretty sad. I am a cop in real life and this is really interesting about such a strict policy and then to pounce on me for just posting a question about a live prince song. I think other things in life are a bit more important than to worry and stress out about a question like mine.
This should be a fun site not a shark infested waters site that you have to worry about like a bleeding seal among hundreds of hungry sharks patrolling which seems to be what your doing.

who's not relaxed? just sayin' is all. i don't make the rules . plenty of places like that on the net . i would know . just tryna keep you FROM being kicked off

fritzw75 said:

what i'm doing? i'm not a mod . it's all for legal reasons. prince's people don't want us openly sharing bootlegs and such and prince.org doesn't want to get in trouble/shut down because of it

Me too. I love it when he calls out the woman from the audience to join him. Very cool. Actually this song should be my song of the moment/day/year.....and the beat goes on!!!!

he sounds real good on that show with that song and that's what also pulled me in as well was the lady he told was okay to sing. i love the audience
participation.

I love Prince's rendition of this classic, so dreamy.

This song (lyrics) will always have a certain cute memory attached to it.

oh yeah. forgot to mention how much i LOVE his renditions of this song. the one cover song he truly made his own, imo . all such awesome takes. here are my faves:

1) the trojan horse aftershow/small club: untouchable. really deserved to be released, along with the whole show. it doesn't move me as much as it used to (i think i wore it out ), but it still stands as the ultimate, imo . the soft vocals, that solo . just pretty
2) camden palace '88: i love the whole buildup. from him just strumming , to the lyrics, to leeds and fink gettin' solos, to prince's amazing solo (him vocalizing midway, "ooh oooh, oo-ooh ooh ooh" is one of my favorite moments in all music, so moving ) and then letting mica get some. just brilliant. i pray that the rest of this show turns up eventually . what's out is TOO good .
3) roseland ballroom '88: mainly for the guitar solo on this one. that shit is just mean. miko's side-strumming as well, adds a different flavor. otherworldly . the vocals at the end are great too. "what my man say? HEY!"
