Your seminal P experience?...

Just had mine. Watched Erotic City, which so happens to be my fav, on video. P funkin' this jam live in rehearsal. 1984. Never before have I seen a live performance of this one in all my years as a fan. Been wishing for one. Now I have found it. The absolute pinnacle of the man's career, in my opinion. Found. Just thought I'd share.

That whole rehearsal performance was my second or third seminal Prince moment. I almost cried inside. I had read about the actual birthday concert for which that rehearsal was for back in Rolling Stone blurbs section back in 1984. To actually see that shit made me think how much my head would have exploded had I had that video back then. I wasn't sane enough to handle such greatness at that time. It was detined that I would see these things a decade or more later.

unless you had actually been there at the time..then that would have been a "seminal moment"

methinks this is more of a "ive got a new boot and showing off"moment!

No showing off. And your definition of seminal is incorrect. I literally juiced. No, seriously. It's out there. I came across it. Simply a zenith in this man's experience. 27 years, brah. 27 years.

Can you believe that video? WHOOOO. Been listening to it religiously for a decade. To see it was musical fantasy lived. Period.
