prince on drums

When was the last time P played drums live? If you've seen it how are his drumming skills? Has any of John Blackwell's talent rubbed off on Prince?

Well the last time I saw Prince play drums live was on Miles to the Park. The latest one I seen. But on official-like video, although not literally, was on the "Million Days" video from teh Musicology era. Was pretty good smile

Yes, at 19, I finally saw the Revolution, a legendary band. And I talked to Wendy!!! biggrin In addition to seeing Prince, I have now lived life. Thank you Purple People!!

yeah but the small club bootleg was from 1988, no? I mean his recent drumming skills. Just wondering if his joints are getting a little stiff.smile

Back in the 3121 days I watched him play drums at the after party at the jazz club. I thought he was great!

I heard that John Blackwell once said that his playing was inspired by Prince...

Tried many flavours - but sooner or later, always go back to the Purple Kool-aid!
