France, while he was filming Under the Cherry Moon I think.

In Nice if I'm not wrong. I think he was meant to film a single song and he played an inpromptu mini-concent.

I haven't seen this. Does he play America for 21 minutes? Is this different to what was used for the America extended 12" version?
Life it ain't real funky unless you got that orgPop.

I am not sure if there is such video available. I am aware of a 5 minutes plus video were he plays America live in Nice in 1985, but it is different than the 12".

All I know about is the Live in Nice '85 - and that was slamming! He looked cool with the head scarf and hat and all - just raw and real, with a bit of show. "Eddie, M, blow ur horn!" Oww!

"Eric LEEDS!"

"Come ONNN!" Ow!...
"Everybody...yeah! Everybody..."

The live video isn't the 12" version. And the 12" isn't 21 minutes of wasted tape. It was 1 of the best Revolution recordings. The whole band were really in2 what they were doing/playing and the song would have been longer but the tape ran out. Prince was gonna leave in the sound of the tape running out 2 but he changed his mind.
