A Question About Prince and Head(s)

I once read on an old thread on the org (discussing Prince & Talking Heads) that Prince covered Talking Heads songs in rehearsals/soundchecks.

Is there any truth to this? Is there any known time when Prince covered Talking Heads material?

Its true, but i wouldnt call it a cover I think it was more of an adlib (ad-lib?)

I havent listen to it in a while. Im sure some one can shed more light on this

I probably shouldnt have replyed because i cant remember lol

If i can recall..

Its part of the 1999 tour rehearsals floating around (1982 or 1983)

Again.. i cant remember..

but they are rehearsing jamming.. and in the middle or end or near the end of it they improvise or adlib some lyrics.. So i wouldt call it a cover

This might be the same rehearsal where they do popeye olive oil impression lol

Ohh i think they lyrics were from (Once in a life time)?

Ohh and another note..

I think its the band fooling around while prince is away from the mic

If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot.
