I've only seen the When Doves Cry rehearsal so these other ones are great. I didn't expect the warehouse to be so gloomy though, but maybe that's just the camera? EDIT: Prince with no shoes 
[Edited 2/16/10 13:23pm] He has on white shoes with heels in all the vids, on that link I watched the vids on. | |

These rehearsal videos are such a treat and a nice visit to days past. This era was the time I first fell in love with all things Prince and I loved being able to see such raw footage of him and the band like this.
I realize everybody grows up, and everything changes and moves on, but sometimes (like while watching these vids) I feel kinda sad that we all grow older. Watching Prince move and dance and exude such a sense of energy and joy - not to mention THE AWESOME MUSIC ITSELF - lifted my spirits in a way nothing else and no other music is capable. (cheesy. sorry.) A HUGE THANK YOU to whomever it is posting these videos. I really really really hope there are more to come! | |

Mannn he killed it on that run through of Doves Cry. Them synths were out of this worrrrrld!!!!! So feverent and powerful, they filled up every inch of that basement with melodies from Heaven
& gotta love that "preacher" stompin  "Not to sound cosmic, but I've made plans for the next 3,000 years," he says. "Before, it was only three days at a time." | |

Ok so sorry for asking, I'm missing the "news" here...
Isn't this an old previously available DVD boot? Why are people making a fuzz about it now? | |

Isn't this an old previously available DVD boot? Why are people making a fuzz about it now? Yeah but for some this is their first viewing and for others who've seen this via other sites, the material had been removed. | |

You ain't right. We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

The videos keep popping up on a lot of sites. I'm just gonna enjoy them while they last!
That version of "Erotic City" is amazing, so funky!  How can I stand 2 stay where I am? / Poor butterfly who don't understand. | |

THIS IS THE KINA STUFF I PAID LAMEUSFLOW3R.COM GOOD MONEY FOR. I WOULD HAVE REUPPED IF THEY HAD COOL STUFF FOR PAY-FOR-VIEW OR PAY-FOR-DOWNLOAD. OH WELL.
MAYBE WE CAN GET FRANK ABAGNALE JR. TO BREAK INTO THE VAULT.  | |

I just wish Prince had a website where he could post exclusive videos like this. Maybe one where people would pay a fee for access to exclusive rare videos and 10 albums of unreleased music. That would be awesome. I'd pay $77 dollars for that. Something tells me you may have that opportunity. Year 2, anyone? We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

ya think? Lots of stuff floating around all of a sudden. Most of it seen by us purpleheadz but not so much b_____d material in the open. Unless every lawyer in the world just died, I agree, something may be up. [Edited 2/16/10 16:51pm] | |

What a nice little treat! Very odd these haven't been taken down yet, that Irresistable Bitch and Erotic City are UNEDITED...since they both contain JW unfriendly lyrics, and the are on a news stations website. Hmmm...something fishy goin on round here...but glad as hell to see. Let's hope this is the beginning of something good. |

I just sent them a cease and desist email about the renewal. | |

Prince was getting the "feeling" with those Preacher Man dance steps he was doing... [Edited 2/16/10 17:05pm] | |
