You can listen to a new recording of "In a large room with no light" by prince on the official website of the Montreux Jazzfest website.

I never expected that song to see the light of day.
It changed quite a bit although it remains the same lyrical drive and rhythm in the song.

are you fucking kidding me?

Lovely, very lovely. I really dig what Renato and Prince did to the classic vaulted joint. Fleshed it out a little. Very nice.

the more he keeps playing this tune the more i love it more .. and yeah that's john on the drums!!!!

I like it but I must say that I dig the original much more and at the time I didn't think the song was that great. However it is cool to see Prince pull out an unreleased classic and have it bestowed upon us. Must mean that it will get officially released at some point or it wouldn't be up here for us to listen to.

Wow. The whole enchilada, not just some 30-second tease.

Nice touch, even if it is free to the whole world (which it would be within minutes of it appearing on his official site anyway).

Fits way better and last much longer than a glove (or should I say "t-shirt".) All apologies in advance.

Nice!

why does every round of cease & desist always come with a kick ass tune?


bastard

Change the "de" after "lang=" to "en" and it's in English.

Not surprising he cut out:

oh yeah, so he did

Thank you! 4 sharing this

Always grateful for new music...

But it lacks the punch of the original with horns & Sheila. sorry it's sounding too "jazzlite" for me.

And my biggest beef of course is that once again lotusflow3r.com has demonstrated its uselessness in getting (1) prince music to us & (2) getting prince news to us.

i like it , it has that jazz-vibe to it. It is perfect for him to perform that this saturday

i really don't like that he did that. even if he cut the expletive out. it feels like half a song now. decent little jam though anyway. not fuckin' with the original. wouldn't mind more like it anyways

it'd kinda blah compared to the original, but it'll make a nice addition to the LF album, whenever a downloadable version becomes available.

Completely bizarre this wasn't previewed on his subscription site first.

This makes me feel really good about spending $77 on Lotusflow3r.

Not anywhere near as good as the original, IMHO, but not a bad re-working.

I wonder if the Montreaux people know this song is 20 years old.

is the site down now? i can't get it!
