Which of Prince's own songs (not covers) do you think rocked the hardest live? Listening to Annie Christian live from the Controversy tour I would say P and Dez verged on pretty hard metal at times during that track. What do you think?

There are many, Bambi usually tears it up, The Ride is another that comes to mind.

Bambi at First Ave '82 is a killer.

Bambi gets my vote.

Peach

Studio: Darling Nikki.

Live: Bambi from the Undertaker session or the Nude Tour. Whole Lotta Love circa 2002-2004 had some balls too.

but I believe 'Paisley Parc' and 'Life Could Be So Nice' could be rockers 2 live.

Chaos & Disorder on the album is hard rock, too. Yeah!!

Dreamer live (most recently played at MSG on the Gold Leaf Strat)...Yeah!!

Dreamer played at The Garden on 1/18 tore the roof off - blistering!!

I'm not a fan of "Dreamer"...

Does "When Doves Scream" count? It was a live rehearsal.

Dreamer, Fury and Bambi!

I should say... Dreamer, the music.. not the lyrics. Not down with the whole chemtrail theory... there are plenty of planes flying over the country side... are "they" trying to get cows, horses and deer to fight each other as well??

Not to turn this into that kind of a discussion, but Prince was way off when he was asked to explain chemtrails. I'm not entirely sure where he was going with it, but legit chemtrail theories don't involve them spraying the chem on people on the streets and then people spontanteously bursting into fights.

Sometimes I think Prince is better off answering questions like on Bandstand.

In other words just staying silent? I agree when it comes to that kind of stuff.

It was just a matter of time.

"Sister" during the Lovesexy tour was hella hard. LOVED IT.

Peach - Bagley's, Kings Cross, London 1993.

Pure Genius - Hard Rock at it's best.

You are all wrong!! "Sister" durring the Lovesexy tour!!!!!

What? All 60 seconds of it?

If we are talking hardest, not best then....

Whole Lotta love

Chaos and Disorder

Sister

I wouldn't say Whole Lotta Love 'cuz it ain't his song... He is a master of instruments, so his talent allows him to play many other forms of music. If it were his song, I would say yes... but since it's not, I'll stick with my list: Dreamer (except 4 silly lyrics): Bambi (live or at your mama's house): Live 4 Love

joy and repetition

Also, the coda from "Family Name" is sick as fuck (even though its tinged with some funk). But its a classic psychedelic rock-type breakdown.
