Because of this thread, I've been jamming to "In A Large Room With No Light", as well as "Wonderful Ass" (another great track!) If Prince were to ever sing "Wonderful Ass" in concert, I'd be screaming for joy like a demented person. lol lol lol lol

I had that bootleg back in the day smile

Didn't it also have "moonbeam levels" listed as "A Better Place to Die"? Or maybe that was a different bootleg...


Mine was listed as a recording with Miles Davis but apparently was not really Miles. It didn't have "A better place to die" though. It had "Power Fantastic", two versions of Crucial, one with sax solo, one with guitar solo that was later released. It had "Witness for the Prosecution", "Little Red Riding Hood", "Cant Stop" and "We Can Funk"(both later on Graffiti Bridge but were better versions even though they were not mastered. "We Can Funk" was a much better track before George Clinton was added to it). The album ended with an instrumental trumpet solo called "H Man" I believe.

Much, much better.



really?? eek wow...


Co eek !!!!

Wow! I thought The Work sets were as good as we were gonna get with the bootleg studio stuff!

Hey Prince, you reading this? If you were to put up this stuff on your website in CD quality, most of us fools would plunk down the change for them! We've all had these (and have paid money more than once for better quality), but we want these in the best sound possible! We'd love for you to get paid for these, and a lot of us could then justify the membership if it meant we were going to be getting pristine versions of these old boots. None of us like the "bootleg" concept, but we want to hear all your funk! The proposed 10 album idea is great, but lots of us are skeptical it will happen (don't front. You know you change your mind all the time).

Okay, back on topic! Yeah, I'd LOVE to hear this song live!!!

You mean the 30 Years of Funk CDs? I have those, they are great! This would have been a nice addition.


How many volumes are in that set?

One of the best songs he ever did. Even Eric Leeds agrees. Sheila killed this on drums. Too bad we can only hear it on crappy sounding bootlegs

I'm nothing short of shocked that Prince actually did that song. Wow is all I can say. I probably would have cried if I had been there witnessing that.
I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that

I'd be right next to you losing my mind if I didn't faint first! I'd feel sorry for the people standing behind me having to pick up some big black dude from the floor! lol

He gave it an uptempo jazz treatment. He was playing a stylish looking morraca type instrument while he was singing/phrasing which he threw into the crowd. The shock value still hasn't worn off & after witnissing the Conga room mind blower I might have to seek treatment, it was that good.

In A Large Room With No Light

Lana drew a picture in school 2day
One that made her mother cry
A picture of a woman with a drink in her hand

Standing by a child with no eyes
Washington reaction based upon revenge
Babies blown 2 kingdom come

Damn the logic
Cartoon characters look better when they're on the run
Danny dropped the dime on his girlfriend

He said he didn't wanna go 2 jail alone
The seed lives in the same mind

With the thought that says we all should be stoned
And people lookin' 4 angels in the sky

Whenever they're broken-hearted
Love is grown, seeds are sown
A fire don't burn unless it's started
Did U ever feel that life was like lookin' 4 a penny
In a large room with no light?
A sophisticated man reduced 2 company in no-win situations
That aren't right
Everytime U wake up there's a little motherfucker
Talkin' big stuff in your face (Are U happy?)
U only get the kind of people that open their mouth
just 2 swap feet
Welcome 2 the rat race
Did U ever feel that life was like lookin' 4 a penny
In a large room with no light?
A sophisticated man reduced 2 company in no-win situations
That aren't right

Oh, if U could just pass your history class
Maybe life would be alright
Until then U'll be lookin' 4 a penny

In a large room with no light
Yeah!
Life {repeat 2 fade}



Is it me or does he not write lyrics like this anymore? (not just referring to "motherfucker" either)




This is what must be revisited ! lyrics that make you think! or does he believe fans don't care about content anymore. Perhaps he thinks music listeners are dumb lost souls,who don't get him point of view...or even engage in listening neutral
