Abrubt ending of Dez' guitar-solo in "Private Joy" at an early live-show ?

I recently saw this footage. You can see Brownmark and Fink in there and Dez starts a solo around 3:28 minutes. Then all of a sudden, while Dez is still in the middle of his solo,
Prince shouts to the band around 3:53 : "Stop it !, Stop it !, Hold it !, Please stop !..." And then the clip stops. I wonder what happened after that. Was it an act ? ... part of the show ? ...
... because i got the impression that Prince seemed not satisfied about what happened at that moment. I could be wrong shrug lol. Thanks in advance for your help.

Thanks for the replies yall cool Yeah, Dez solo in "Private Joy" is also tight. So Dez continues to solo in "Jack U Off" ? ... i can imagine that it must've been sizzling.

*U-edit, lol*

Yes, I have seen it and it IS part of the act. After the abrupt stop they go into another song but it was all part of the act.
