White Room '95 performance

Has anyone ever heard the whole performance from the White Room (UK) appearance? Apparently it was about 40 minutes long, not just the two songs (Get Wild and Count the Days) that were broadcast.

I actually saw the band's limo outside KFC just after a signing at the Virgin Megastore that day and spoke to Sonny and Michael briefly - although no one believes me!

I believe you!

We just missed James Brown as he was pulling away from a Baskin Robbins ice cream shop in HIS limo one time.

People gotta eat!

I remember that performance nod

However, i only ever saw the two songs which were televised. The version of Get Wild was incredible. Loved the distorted bass refrain near the end.

Prince was in his full 'Tora Tora' get-up. As he approached the stage Mark Radcliffe (the shows presenter) was introducing him and said 'he's got his bee keepers gear on' just as prince brushed past him. lol

What other songs did he perform that day which were not televised?

As a side not - I once heard a boot from around the '95 era. They played Get Wild which merged into 'sex machine'. Tommy Barbarella took a lightening fast keyboard solo. When he had finished, Prince said 'he don't play it like the masked man... he plays it slow'. What boot is this on? Hope that doesnt deviate too much from your original post.

What's "The Jam"? Is that an early version of "Jam of the Year" or what?
