Everyone was having such a good time!

this was the first performance i saw him do after i became a fan.

i spazzed out when i saw him do housequake cuz thats the song the turned me into a hardcore fan the year before when i saw SOTT on hbo

I barely even remember this, but I remember being slightly unimpressed.

This is one of my fav performances of his! The seamless segue into the 6/8 feel of Satisfid, Tamar's astonishingly awesome rendition of Never Loved a Man, Sheila's psychussion freakout...I could watch it over and over, if the computer would let me (the copyright wont work now!! Boo!)

One of his best ever performances, imo.....
I love it and watched it many many times^^

Also its great to see the fantastic reaction in the audience.....

That was one of the best performances I have ever seen of ANY artist. Prince had that place rockin'.

magnificience

I loved this performance.
I have it on my TV Appearances 1980-2006 - 6 Volume DVD set.
Had to brag a lil' bit!
I loved everyones reaction when Morris & Jerome came out.
Priceless!

It's hard to believe he did this almost exactly one year before 3121 came out. WTF happened with that album? :/

The fact that they let him play for that length of time at an awards show was amazing! It spoke to the amount of respect the have for the man and his music. When I counted the songs I was like "damn it just became a Prince concert".

That night is the only time Prince has blown my mind and satisfied me as a fan this decade.

And you're still here?

funksterr said:

That's really sad considering it's a below average performance, haha

love that outfit

I think it sucks that we cannot watch clips like this and others whenever we choose. He looked great that night.

Gohi said:

Um, whatever. I guess you are joking, because Prince played the hell out of every instument he knows. DMSR was rocking. Yeah you've got to be joking.

HonestMan13 said:

Oh, yeah. I ain't going nowhere.

funksterr said:

Quality over quantity. DMSR was sterile and boring. He didn't play drums. He plays much better guitar solos on most other TV performances from this decade. What a boring performance.

bettybop said:

Really I've never come up against that problem.

HonestMan13 said:

Gotta agree with Gohi here.. for example, guest performance with Tom Petty was a lot more exciting.

funksterr said:

uhhh.....really?

just watched it again last night to refresh my memory. yep, it's just as dull as I remembered it.
